COMMUNICATED.
MOUNTAIN Cry, June 10th, 1861.
DEAR FRIEND WIETISG:

DEAR FRIEND WIETISG:
/ have been in the mines some
thing over two weeks, and during that
time, have visited the most OF the Min
ing Districts in this region and believe
that am tolcrably vel! posted with re-
gard to matters pertaining tothe mining
interest Of this part Of the mountains.
The Clutches, as u general thing, are
paying very well; at least double Wha,
they did last season, owing, presume,
to Improvements in the process OF saw
ing the gold. As far as am acQnaint-
ed in the different Clutches, the miners
arc taking out from IS to S25 per day
to the head, and some claims pay still
better than that. Some of the Quartz
| Mills are paying largely, and some are
hardly paying expenses; and others are
idle for the want Of Quartz TO crush, but
on the whole large amount of gold Is
taken out daily.
A gentleman with whom I am &C
quain,cd, and is the owner Of mill, at.
ter six days run, cleared up 81 500,
and many others, l presume, are doing
equally well.
Many discoveries have been made
lately that are attracting much atten-
ton, especially on the other side Of the
Snow Range, and we are constantly
hearing Of Clutches that pay from 10
cents to 81 to the pan OF dust
OF course this is mostly humbnr, but
there is 10 doubt but very rich mines
have been discovered on the western
slope, and am of the opinion tina, time
! and labor will show that the Rocky
Mountains are as rich and can produce
as much gold as did the Sierra Nevada
in their palmest days. Laboring men
find no difficulty in getting work at from
$3.50 to So per day and board and
tcams,ers generally make about $40
per day with yoke Of oxen or span Of
mules and wagon. The cost of board
ing man and teaM is about $3.50
per day.
! The cost Of living is much less than
last season. Good flour is sold at sill
PER sack OF 100 lbs, Bacon 20 cents,
/ Butter IS to 80 cents ut retail, Sugar
! 20 cents, Coffee 20, and other articles
Of consumption about i'll proportion, OK
cept Potatoes; they are worth 20 cents
per ID.
The Tama County boys are all doing
well, or a, least I'LL that am acquain,-
ed with.
DR.. X. D. Shugart & Co, took from
their claim in Nevada Gulch, few DAYS
ago, i nnsgc, which weighed s2o.l
and several others Of $500 and less.
amounting, in all, to over $50.
/ do not advise people to come here
! TO make money, but still | think money
can be made here faster than in Iowa
start to morrow for The western slope.
and shall probably send you few lines
descriptive Of the Mountain scenery,
mines &c, Of that region, next week.
| shall probably write rs often as
twice month, and perhaps once a
week, SO that all my friends in lama
viii hear from me, q take it for grant
cd they all take the Transcript and
/ save mo much time and some paper
that | would be obliged to use in writ
| ing to each individual one.
Truly Yours,
PIIINEAS HELM.
