GRAVEL RANGE.-This prospective min
ing district is situated north of Lost Horse,
on the main range. A party of thirty men,
including number of "forty-niners,'' are at
work bringing in ditch several miles long,
partly for the purpose of working number
of rich swags which have been discovered
and staked off in that vicinity. The ditch
will be completed within the next two weeks
The main object in bringing in this water is
is to prospect for hill diggings, which, as yet,
have never been discovered in this Territory.
The Calfornians are confident that hill dig.
gings will yet be struck in Montana, and
are of the opinion that they are now on the
right track. Ifthis experiment should prove
success, it will create new era in our
mining operations, and will prove a source
of wealth to the Territory for many years
to come.-HeienG Herald
