first discovery, and is supposed to be tributary

new diggings, and has claim on Perry. He
met about 70 persons going in to the new mines
There we're, when he left some two hundred mi
nors on Perry Creek, This is the first reliable
news from that section Of the country since Mr..
DrumheIIer came down. There is great excite
ment over the new discoveries, and there will be
a large camp in that country next season. This
is very cheering news to the people in this part
of the country. There is train loading at this
place for the new diggings to-day, of Al packs.
The train belongs to G. Buck; freight ls csnts

New MINING DIsrRIor,-0n Friday last, Mr..
King, the Lewiston Stage driver, brought the
news of the discovery of rich mining district,
and stated that the discovery had caused gems
eral stampede. The Lewiston Journal, since re-
ceived, gives the following description of the
new mines:
We have it from Expressmau Fettis and Mr.. ].
Loweaberg and quite a number of other reliable
gentlemen, that the new mining district, to the
north and east of Pierce City, known as " Moose
Creek is extraordinary rich aud extensive
1t is believed that this new camp will eclipse
any that has been found within the last ten years.
and will furnish ground enough for a thousand
or more men to work. The prospects average
on the hills, 10 to l2 cents to the pan, and in the
gulches from 10 to 25 cents to the pan which
warrants the belief that this new camp will ex-
ceed Florence and equal California in 40. Water
is abundant with plenty of fall-dump, and a
little or no stripping and the gravel from FIVE to
six feet deep. Nearly all from Pierce City and
tbereabouts have gone there, and parties and
pack.trains are daily leaving here for there.
Mr.. Hawthorn Co., leave here to-day for this
camp with a train loaded with ten thousand
pounds. There can be no doubt of the truth of
this exciting news. We have given the above as
low estimate of the accounts given us, as we
desire to be within bounds. Mr. Loewenberg has
dust from there that we think will assay at least
SIT per ounce. We have a reliable correspon-
dent there that will give US full particulars for
our next issue.
