From the n. Joseph Herald
THE GOLD MINES OF IDAHO.

We had the pleasure last evening
of meeting an intelligent gentleman
who bad just arrived by the coach
from Denver. He informs us that the
excitement among the miners of Col
orado in regard TO the gold diggings
of the north has grown into a perfect
furor. About fifteen months ago, the
first reports of gold discoveries on the
Salmon river reached Denver. Only
few in that region We're then adven-
turous enough to,attempt tue Journey
of over a thousand miles, and occu-
pying from two to three mouths of pa
ticnt, weary travel But the wild and
reckless mode of living in the noun
tains induces spirit of daring adven-
ture, and few dozens were bold
enough to make the trip. Some few
OF these cmigrants have returned
within the last few months, bringing
with them sundry bags of gold dust.
which have charming and tempting
look. They also relate stories in ref
erence TO the richness of the mines
that has kindled fire which is RAJ
ging at a fearful rate among the peo-
pie of that region. The fever has af-
fected not only the miners, but mer-
chants, spectators. and iaborers have
caught it, and are already on the road
to Bannock City.
One Mr.. Fish from Salmon river
arrived at Denver last week with
over seven hundred ounces of dust.
which he received in exchange for
goods he had taken ont there to dis
pose of. This gentleman stated in the
presence of our informant that there
could be no doubt Of the abundance
of the precious metal in the northern
mines, and, in his Judgment, they
would prove far richer than either
California or Colorado. Those now
at work in gulches there are averag-
lug about half an ounce per day.
The season has grown too late for
extensive emigration this fall, but the
coming spring will undoubtedly wit
ness such an exodus from the north
ern and eastern states as has never
before been equalled.
The Rocky Mountain News, in no.
ticing the excitement now existing in
that territory. says:
Many are setting out upon the
long journey without an adequate con-
| ception Of what is before them. They
expect aud prepare for journey Of
few hundred miles, while it is really
more than a thousand Almost the
entire distance is through noun
tainous country. where the winters
are unusually severe and the SHOWS
deep. Ok teams cannot make tho
trip to Bannock City in much less
than ten weeks, under the most fa-
vorable circumstances. Before the
end of that time the mountain passes
may be impassibly gorged with snow.
Even now we have word that the
stage road this side of Salt Lake is SD
choked with snow, that the coaches
have to make detour of twelve Or
fifteen miles,"
81 saj SNOW IN THE MOUNTAINS. a4
We find the following chilly items
in the Denver News OF the 10th Srptem-
ber: The mountains near Longs
Peak were clothed OH yesterday morn-
| ing with Il snowy wardrobe. There
was snow six inches deep last week
at Fort Bridger. and four inches deep
al Fort Halleck."
