The story is told Of John Van Blu
rem that when introduced to the
young Queen Of England, before she
had designated her "dear. good cous-
in, Prince Albert as her husband,
he, instead of kissing her hand, gave
her nice, warm kiss on the lips, a
liberty which, despite its outrageous
ness, does not seem to have marred
the harmony of their subsequent ao-
quaintance. Whether il was that
Queen Victoria changed her mind. or
that Prince John did not think the
opportunity eligible, certainly Ameri-
ca lost the precious opportunity of sup
plying soverigns for the British

INDIAN CREEK DIGGINos. II These digi
gings, which have never received the atten-
ton merited by their extent and richness,
are nov beginning to make their importance
felt and acknowledged. They are distant
from Helena about thirtysfve miles, in an
easterly direction-being situated near the
mouth of Indian Creek, a.small tributary of
the Missouri. They were discovered last
March, and quite /" stampede was the
consequence As seems to be an inevitaoil-
ty of all new discoveries, the great majority
who rushed to Indian Creek through the
storms of earliest spring returned, dlsheart'
ened, declaring that DO paying ground exis>
ted in that direction. These discouraging
reports shook confidence in the new discovr
cries to such an extent that their favorable
consideration by the public could only be re-
gained by actual returns of the dust But
a few miners resolved that they would not
relinquish hope until the ground had been
thoroughly prospected and accordingly sank
shafts as energetically as if every shoveful
of dirt thrown up contained the " dust in
paying quantities. Their perseverance was
soon rewarded by the discovery of good pros
poets. This point being settled, another
formidable difficulty was encountered IN the
superintendent amount Of water. This very
much retarded operations until within the
last two or three weeks; but now, the stream
has so far declined that bedrock dirt is avail
able in many claims, the number Of which is
daily increasing. The gold is of first rate
quality, of the stale class, and Of middle
coarseness. About four hundred men are in
employment, and none, we are told, are nec-
essarily idle. One hundred claims are fully
opened Two thriving have sprung in-
to existenceA-one at the upper, and the
other at the lower end of the gulch. One OF
these towns are represented as containing
dozen business houses, several hotels, etc,
and going ahead in the true Young AmeTi-
eau style Drainditehes and pumping far
eilities have been carried forward to such an
extent, and SO far systematized, that it is
thought, for the future the rigor Of winter
will alone prevent operations. The bar
claims bear the best reputation at the pres
ent, beipg held at from cne to three thous,
and dollars each but this, perhaps, is owing
to their immediate availability. High hopes
are expressed Of the results of next year 5
IaborS in these ncighbOring placers. Some
fine agricultural tracts skirt the Missouri
above and below the mouth Of Indian creek
advantage Of which has been taken by quite
number of ranchmen. We are pleased to
iearn that bountiful crops promise to amply
reward the labors of these pillars of Montana
enterprise. 4 good wagon road connects
Indian creek with Helena, and our commer,
ciai relations with that section are daily be>
coming more intimate and xtcusive.-Ueicna

DEEP DIGGINs,- Probably the richest
mining claim in IDAHO is situated at the head
of Blue Gulch, and is owned by Albert,

from forty to fifty feet in width, and is from
twenty-five to thirty feet in depth-a wash

have sent on for hose, galvanized iron pipes,

and ready for. operations early next season.
The boys say they will have five hundred
inches of water for two months during the
Spring They are at present drifting, and
taking out the gravel three or four feet
above the bedrock and, by gathering heads
of water in their reservoir, manage to wash

BITTER Roor VALLEY.- IEom Major
Owen we have derived items conccrng
Bitter Root Valley, which We deem Of sui,
ficient importance for publication: From
thirty to forty families are now settled in the
vicinity Of Fort Owen-a sprightly village
Of the valley, which promises, in the not
distant future, to become point Of eonsid~
cradle note. Agriculture is in flourish
ing and promising condition. As shown by
the Assessors figures, eleven hundred acres
have been sown in wheat; near five hun
drcd in barley and oats; and fully FIVE hum
dred in vegetables of various kinds. All
manner Of crops are doing welI-better than
ever before when the statistics are publish.
ed, the yield per acre will, we are assured,
demonstrate that this section OF Montana is
equal in productiveness Of soil to any portion
OF the Mississippi Valley. There is scarce,
ly an acre in the entire valley that cannot
be reached by ditcEes OF cheap aud easy con-
structon, should irrigation be necessary.
The present season, rains have been frequent,
and consequently irrigation has been unnec,
essary. An abundance Of timber, for fuel,
fencing and bnilding purposes, is convenient

form of a crescent, almost surrounding the
valley-thus protecting it, to a great degree,
from the extreme cold at times incident to
this latitude from the Upper Columbia to the
Atlantic. This fact leaves little doubt that
the culture Of fruit Of various kinds-the
apple in particular-would prove successful.
Fort Owen boasts two saW>miIls, fne grst-
| mill well suDDlied store etc. There is n
good wagonrroad from there to Elk and Bear
creek diggings, thus atfording, at present, a
convenient and profitable market for agricul>
tural products; and as new mineral discovl
cries are continually being made in that dii
rection, there need be little fear of the demand

view to farming-the safest, ii not most
profitable pursuit Of the country-will do

He might have made enough, enough

For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.

FLoREECB SEWING MACHINEs.-The Florence
sewing machine still maintains the ascendency
over all other machines in use. WHAT'S claimed
for it is, that IT makes four different stitches
the lock, k48t, double-lock, aud double-knot,
each sticb se:rg like on both sides of the fab
ric-snd that each machine has the reversible
feed motion, enabling the OPERATOR, by turning
"a scrvw, to run the work either to the left or
right. The next point is the selfNdjusting ten
sion, that tension being always in proportion to
the size OF the bobbin. These are the main
points of excellence claimed for the machine,
and the points wherein it differs from all others.

machines, and will give practical illustrations
OF their merits at his establishment, on Main
