THE sWEETWATER MINEs.s

1.-The following is anr extract FROM q. letter
fromibne D. X, 1Alleni y correspondent Of, the
Chicago Republican, to the. Montana Herald,
in regard to the new Sweetyater mines. Mr.,
Allen is nota practical ,miner but has been.
travelling in, Montana and Dakota and Colorado
during the last two years. His letter con-
cludes thusi u issdg;d yd1 m9yl .yrtaao9 eE
In this whole section. Of country there are
probably not oyer twenty-five holes down to
the bedrock Whether there are extensive
plncer mines here or not remains yet to be
scene One thing is certain-the country has
not been prospected oil, bnt where there are
so many rich leads there, ought to be rich dig
gings. The opinion of all the Montana men,
here is, that there will be rich and extensive
mines discovered here during the winter aAd'
The snow is about two and half feet deep
on the level. while the drifts are from FIVE to-
thirty feet deep in the gulchess Sixteen mikes
southwest from here the snow is nine inches
deep; twenty-five miles east there is no snow.
Our stock is all over in the Wind River Valley.
where there is plenty of feed and no snow
There is probably a great scarcity of pro-
Visions or will be before spring; and let no.
man dare to come In here unless he has at
least enough Of ecerything to last him until the
18th of June Flour is $50 per sack; bacon,
as cents sugar, 75; coffee, Isl tea S4 per
pound; beans, 25 cents; potatoes Is; butter.
81; cheese. 40 cents; eggs, rs; picks, 81 So,
and poor at that; axes, $6, and everything
else at g '49" "rprices, and nDne to be had at
that. There are only two shops here, which,
are but poorly supplied. A four mule team
would haul everything they both have. There
is not drop Of liquor of any kind in the
mines. ALI told, there are here. and there,
about one hundred cabins. A small steam milEt
has been started, but lacks energy to runeit
They sell lumber for 800 per thousand feet.
Let every man who thinks Of coming here
supply himself we'll with TOOLS clothing and
provisions, with which to do him until the
middle Of June. The better way to reach the
mines in the spring aud summer will be by the
way nf the mail road to Taylor's bridge on
Snake river, and then take the Lander cut-off,
which will take you direct into Pacific. City
and the heart of the mining camp The dis
tance from Taylor's bridge to Platte City is,
estimated at one hundred and seventy-fve
miles, with good feed and water, no large
streams TO cross, and an excellent road.
Nothing can be done at prospecting during
the winter, and probably not before April.
Still, the snow may GO of so that parties can;
get into the mines by, the last Of March
There will probably be no danger from Ia
dians on the Lander road next season. Our
currency is greenbacks Gold dust is bought
and sold as an article of trade. Hus
