ed, and without any experience in gold mining,
wandered up to near the head OF Five Cent Gulch
the other day, to prospect he said. Last night
he sold at Greenhood & Newbaucrs banking
Office gold dust to the value of Sl6l-the pro-
ceeds of four days work There is great eX-
ctement in that locality today, and claims are
being staked off by the dozen. Nobody ever

gulch before.
JUNCTION CTY.-This cosy little river town be-
gins to assume a lively appearance with the re-
turn of spring and consequent supply of water
for mining purposes, jackson * Ferguson have
put up some 100000 lbs. of bacon and hams du
ring the winter sufficient for the demand of the
river market until killing time comes again. The
neat cottage residences and improved grounds of
Philbrook, Jackson and Others, add materially to
the beauty of that pleasantly situated town. The
Carter House is well kept by the Fisher Brothers

paying mining camp in the county. Most of the |
claims are worked with hydraulics, and on a
large scale. We wish some friend down there |
would furnish us a list of claims now being
worked, average pay, etc.

be ready for work in few weeks at most
