THE CITY
From Tuesday,s Daily.

MISISG ITENs.-From Mr.. Ingersoll, now
in this city, we learn, that although Hender-
SON Gulch is no ''big thing" it is still yield
ing good pay TO all who working In 1t,
SO that although none of its citizens are ex-
ceedirgly rich, they all have little money
in their pockets. He also informs US that
Harvey Creek, situated eighteen miles above
Emmetsburg, shows signs of better days.
Two bedrock fumes are in course of con-
struction. Several fine silver ledges are
said to have been discovered on Boulder
Creek, a Tributary of Flint Creek, by Messrs.
Brown, Chisholm and Wabas- Cabins have
been erected in the vicinity of these dis
Coveries and the parties named propose to
work on the new mines during the winter.
A shaft has been sunk to bedrock IN Con-
federate Gulch, about 500 feet below the head
of King & Gillette's iume, and prospects of
25 and so cents to the pan obtained. Ii is
thought that the ground will pay $50 per day
to the hand. A water-wheel and pump are
at present brought into requIsition for. the
purpose of keeping it clear of water.
PERsoSAL-Col. Alex. II. Beattie, of the
PosT Publishing Company, received per last
nights mail from his old commander, l. cut.
Gen. Sherman, one of the most beautifully
executed and comprehensive maps we have
=
operations of the United States forces under
Gen. Sherman during the years of lS63-64
and '65. On IL Is traced the marches of each
and every corps under this commander. by
means of It one can form some idea of tie
vastness Of those gigantic operations that
have stamped Sherman one of the greatest
military characters now on earth. This is a
gratifying compliment TO friend Beattie, who
followed Sherman's victorious eagles during
three long years In all capacities, from swing
ing a bayouet to inspecting Divisions. IL Is
a fne work Of art and valuable gift.
FREIGHT AND FoDDER.-Mr. Louis Cans
informs us that freight Is now carried from
New York TO the end of the U. P. r. K.
track at the following rates: LIST class, dry
goods, &C., S7.44 per hundred; ID class,
iron, &c, 5000 per hundred; 80 class, gro
ceries. &c, trile over s. per hundred. Con-
tracts can be made for bringing freight from
the end of the track to Helena for ten cents
per pound, bat if the goods are forwarded
without contract, in the neighborhood of
seventeen cents will be charged With re-
gard to "fodder," Mr.. Cans says that the
stage stations are far superior to the stations
on the railroad, and that any anticipations
any one may indulge IN concerning grub
when the track Is reached, are never realized.
OTHER SIDE ITENs.-From the Independ-
ley Bugher lode. This mine is thirty feet
in width and we'll defined. Work Is steadily
progressing on the Hope, the ledge being
eight feet wide, aud the ore the richest ever
found in Montana. The Collector of Deer
Lodge county is already distraining the prop
erty Of delIngueuts on the tax list 49,. The
II. s. Court was TO convene at Deer Lodge
yesterday -. IL Is supposed that the whole
amount of the school fund in Deer Lodge
county this year will be $1,000.
RErURxED.-After an absence of over three
months in the East, Louis Cans, Esq, of the
firm Of Cans & Klein, returned to this city on
Saturday night. He still smokes his meer-
sehaum with his old grace, aud appears to be
In no whit altered by his trip to that demor-
allied city which never ceases bOasting of its
"wickeiest man." Mr.. Cans made purchase
of large stock of goods which are now on
their way TO this city.
THE FATR.-The various buildings on the
Fair Grounds are now completed, and will be
ready for the reception of such articles as
may be intended for exhibition after wednes-
day next. The Fair opens on Monday next,
and exhibitors should make all haste to

that they may be properly arranged and put
in perfect order by Saturday night. Weun-
make fne showing.
FoR rms EAsr.-Cole Saunders Esq, he of
novelties and quartz, departed for the States
on yesterdays coach. Cole is no relation to
the ancient king bearing the same name, but
we venture 90 say that his treasures, although
not yet coined, are fully equal TO those of
the monarch referred to- "a pleasant trip
and n speedy return is our parting saluta-
ton.
