DIAMoND.--We were pleased TO re-
I ceive n visit from VIM. Davenport, Esq, and
Mr.. Charles Cook of Diamond City, and to
learn from them that the future prospects of
that place are far greater than has been her
past success. The prosperity of Diamond
City has been the result of her very wealthy
placer claims which being worked intelligent
/ ly and vigorously, has yielded to the FORUM
ate owners great wealth, and contributed
much TO the prosperity. Although these
placers are not worked out but will give en-
/ ployment to a large number of men for years
/ to come the people of Diamond recognize
the fact that the permanency and the real
/ prosperity of n town depends not upon the
\ gulch mining, but upon these eternal sources
/ of wealth-quartI lodes- With this opinion
/ they have commenced the labor of develop
/ lug the quartz which abounds In that region

Is rs great as the prospects the future realiLa-
/ tion of wealth from it is brilliant. We have
had the satisfaction of examining several
| specimens from the Durant lode, shown us by
| Mr. Cook, and they are indeed splendid speak

mems from other lodes and we are prepared TO
believe that there are no better quartz leads in

did quartz mill, which be intends having IL
full operation by the lst day of July next on
this lode. Mr.. Corbin is an old ChicagonIan,
and we know him personally as an able, ener-
getic business man, aud a gentleman who
does not invest his money except when it
must return before many days with an accu-
mutation of profit. The mill Is TO be cons

of the propuetors of the Boulder Ditch Com
pauy, also informs US that the work on the
placer claims will commence very early IA

DEER LODGE. From Mr. Samuel Scot
the popular proprietor of the Scott House, In
Deer Lodge City, who is in town, we learn
that notwithstanding Deer Lodge has lost the
Capitol, she does not intend suspending the
I great operations which are constantly going
on. Mr.. Scott, on account of the great rush
of travel and influx of strangers who visit
that region TO examine the great quartz IN
terests, has been compelled TO enlarge his
house, and il Is said he has now the finest
hotel IN the country. We would commend
all who look IN On Deer Lodge, to take our
word for it, and they will find him prince of
landlords and peer among men.
