GREAT GOLD DISCOVERY.
Richest Deposit In the Known World
Gold i'm Almost Solid Masses-Tre-
meudous Excitement In Montana.

Upon the arrival of the Helena stage,
last Friday morning, the people of Viz
ginia City were thrown into g gold se1-
citeTnent before which all other excite
ments must pale. The facts, as we get
them from apparently we'll authenticated
sources, are briefly as follows:
"Mr Brown, German or Norwegian,
and one of the original discoverers OF the
celebrated Gould & Curry lode, of Neva-
da. and afterwards of Brown lode, in Mel
son Gulch in this Territory, was engaged
in sinking o shaft on the "Uncle Sam
lode, about the head of Dry Gulcb, some
four miles from Helena. He had sunk
near twenty feet, when, the indications
not suiting him, he concluded to change
his course by drifting up hin from the
bottom of his shaft. He had advanced
in this direction about ten feet, when he
reached gold deposit which in richness
and extent, has, perhaps, no parallel in
the history of gold mining. Gold, III al
most solid masses, glittered before his be-
wildered vision. For two weeks longer,
unknown to others, he tunnelled into the
Golden wall. Secreted about him, he had
accumulated several gunny-sacks. liter

longer secresy became impractlcable,,
from the very extent of his unexpected
wealth, and MI. Brown proceeded to re-
cord and secure his property, when the
public were informed of the great discov-
ery. 1t is said that he now keeps strong
guard, night and day, over his seemingly
incompatible wealth, while he himself,
unassisted, delves into the golden walls
around him, and continues multiplying
his sacks of precious ore. One person
who was admitted into Mr. Browns
drift, states that it presented sceno OF
wealth more akin to picture ofimagin-
alton than actuality. Gold gold gold !!

its rich hues in the glare OF the candle,
as if this subterranean vault had been
hewn out of a solid ledge of the yellow
metal.
"This gold is found in well defined
ledge, fully five feet in width. The gold
| vein is three feet wide-three fourths OF
the entire substance therein being pure
gold; the remainder mainly bismuth.-

of one foot of quartz, which will assay

ing terms, a'blow-out' OF pocket we
are not prepared to admit or deny. But

case, so vast an amount of gold would
affect the standard of gold valuation
throughout the commercial world. But

Grants RoROrt.

General GRANTS official report of the
operations of the United States armies
from the date of his taking command
down to the end of the war, is just pub
lished. Ii is lengthy document, well
written and modest, so far as relates to
the personal achievements of the Lieut..
enant General 1t bestows very high
praise upon Generals MEADE, SHERMAN
and SHERIDAN and conveys no small de-
gree of cersure upon BUTLER and one
or two others of his peculiar stripe. The
following is the concluding paragraph
of the report;
1t has been my fortune to see the ar
mics of both the West and East fight
battles, and from what l have seen,
know there is no difference in their
fighting qualities. All that it was pos
sible for men to do in battle, they have
done. The western armies commenced
their battles in the Mississippi Valley,
and received the final surrender of the
remnant of the principal army opposed
TO them in North Carolina. The armies
of the east commenced their battles on
the Potomac, and received the final sur
render of their old antagonist at Apo
mattox Court House, Virginia. The
splendid achievements of each have ma
tionalized our victories, removed all sec
tional ,jealousies of which we have un-
fortunately experienced too much, and
the cause of elimination and recrimina-
tion that might have followed had eth
er section failed in this duty. All have
a proved record, and ali sections can
we'll congratulate themselves and each
other for having done their full share in
restoring the supremacy of the law over
every foot of territory belonging to the
United States e

and harmony with that enemy whose
manhood, however mistaken their cause,
drew forthsuoh herculean deeds ofvalor."
