QUICK WORK-On the morning o
the 9th ult we Published our report Of the Coeu
d'Alene excitement Witness the disastrous con
sequences: On the evening Of the same day ou
paper reached the hands of a Mr.. Langel, at Dia
mond, who Immediately sold out valuable mines
outitted himself to join the stamPeders, and, by
almost superhuman efforts, was probably able Il
start for the new diggings the morning of the
2Sth nlt- Last Saturday evening he called at tbs
Herald Office and gave an acoOun: Of his misfor-
tunes, in the course Of which he said he chad
prospected the mines thoroughly, and never
found a color" This is one Of the most remarks-
ble instances Of quick work upon record. In less
than nine days the HeraLds informant travelled
forty miles from Diamond TO this place, and from
here 20 the new mines and back, making $40 miles
in all and besides accomplishing that isat, which
would alone have compelled him 10 make over
seventy miles a day, and keep il up" he thor

very quick work, that's all
SEND ITEMs.-We already have regu-
lar correspondents in various portions of the Ter
rtory but these alone cannot send all the news.
What desire is, that each one of our friends, in
what ever portion of Montana he may be located,
viii consider himself a special PosT correspondent
whenever anything Of interest trausPires in his
vicinity. We do not wish to be made the recipients
of elaborate letters with much verbisge aud few
facts We prefer, rather, that our friends should
send brief and comprehensive statements Of just
such facts as wouid prove interesting TO them if
they occupied the place of the general reader. We
always desire the figures when we get them.
To say that this gulch is doing we'll aud that
another mine Is making splendid runs" is too in
definite; but when correspondent gives the dol
lars and cents suited. Will our friends
please accede 70 our request and seud along the
items brief notes from every section of the Terri
tOryf In no better way they promote the in
terests Of Montana than by furnishing with the
data upon which TO base statements OF her wealth.
THE STAGE ROBBERY.-The particu-
lars Of this affair, for unknown TO as,
come exceedingly slow. We obtain further details
from the Frontier Iqder. The robbery occurred
one and half miles east Of Big Pond Station, and
seventy-three miles east Of Green river 1t is said
the robbers did not Pillage the U. S. mail although
they broke open the express letters. They returned
the driver his pistol and told him TO rive on They
then placed the box a horse, and with
walking eaoh side to steady IL, they wentOd up
a rsvine IN a northeastern direction-broke open
the box, and after getting all the money. took TO
the hills, leaving the box and remains of letters
&c, IN the sage brush. One mans boot shoe
was run down." Two Of the men made very large
tracks and one OF item very small ones. The boy
thin vissged aud rode mule. Ii is thought
that the robbers have secreted themselves some
where between the head of Green river and the
Yellowstone lake that is a glorious retreat for
men of their character.
PREPARE FOR THE FAIR.-Those who
propose being exhibitors at the spproachiug Fair
should Immediately commence preparing for il.
Less than four weeks will elapse before it viii be
