TIE RIGHT HAND FORK OF DRY eULcH.
Major Blake, who owns a claim situated on
the right hand fork of Dry Gulch, lately discov-
cred what he calls "Iron Bar" add upon which
he has four feet in depth of pay gravel he has
tunueled across the channel for distance of
about sixteen feet, without having yet discover
ed the opposite rim. From one pan of dirt ia,
ken from this ground, we obtained fifty cents in
gold, which is, we consider, fair indication of
a tbip thing" for the Major He is now endeav-
oriug to make arrangements with certain parties
to pass the water from Orc Fino Gulch into the
right hand fork, in order to ground.s suice his
claim, having good fall and fine dump for
tailings for that purpose.

Mr.. Ewing, from this gulch, informs us that
the claim belonging to himself and two partners,
yielded, last week. S5l0. This gulch has here.
tofore been considered worthless but, through
the perseverance and energy of the above named
company, its great value will be now an estab-
lished fact. 1t is about FIVE miles distant from
this city.
BLUE CLOUD GULCH.
Our latest intelligence from this gulch is that
Captain Ziegler and partners, who own the dis,
covery claim, completed their drain ditch last
week, and cleaned up about SlOO from run of
day and half This is the only claim that is
yet opened, but others will no doubt very soon
be developed, as the owners are now hard at
work upon them. The former name of this
gulch was Douglas, and it was supposed to be of
no value, but, like many other similar diggings,
fair test has proved the contrary to be true.
We saw some of the gold from this gulch, and
pronounce 1t to be OF a superior quality.
TRINITY GULcH.
From this gulch we learn that Messrs. Young
M:llen, owners OF the discovery claim on the

elated over their prospects, and are predicting
rich results from their respective claims.
THE GOLD HILL LODE.
We have been informed that the Gold Hill
Company are realizing good results from their
lode by employing three men to wash the de-
composed quartz through sluices. They are now
running cut of forty feet in width, and wash.
ing everything, and take out about $500 per
week by this mode of working. The tailings.
which consist of quartz not sufficiently decomS
posed to yield the gold contained, is claimed to
be worth S2lo per ton. This they "corraI"
and will, at some future time, run through a
mill.-HeleHa Herald
