lnS camp 1ue Opf-t Ofaln company nave
struck pay ground 100 feet in width, which
will Weld about SIS per day 20 the hand. Mr.
McKenen, who is one OF the share holders
IN this company, is in this city. for the pur-
pose of procuring an engine 10 hoist the pay
dirt TO the surface. The three Drain Con-
Panies of Lincoln, which are the Upper, the
Middle and 1hiId drains have, up TO the pres
ent time prospected about Eve thousand feet
Of the gulch which will pay from wages to
$50 Pc. day.. The Lower Drain Company in
Keep Cool Gulch, have constructed a drain
tunnel, which IS now 5000 feet in length and
los feet deep. and even at that depth have
not yet struck bed rock except in one instance
which WAS IN December, when they touched a
point Of rock from which, IN a space of grav-
el f-et by 4 they cleaned up St04 dollars.
Every one in these two gulchss are in the
best of spirits and anxiously looking for the
coming of spring.
PLAYED 0UT.-We were very strongly
impressed with the truth of the loud sound
ing lamentations which are quite often sObbed
forth BY White Pin-rs and others, that Mon
tans mines are played OUT" on seeing a
beautiful little lump of gold, weighing only
six hundred and eighty-one ounces, and worth
the respectable sum of $4,000 in gold. or
$4,000 in currency. which was the result Of
a run of between two aud three weeks from
the whitlatch and Parkison ground, on the
Parkison lode. We rejoice TO see the success
of Messrs. whItlateh & Parkison. for they de-
serve it as q reward for their industry and per-
severeuce. The Messrs. PArkison have spent
much time and a large amouut OF money
heretofore in prospecting, sud now they can
rejoice in the knowledge that they have a
golden harvest toreap. Still, with sucn yields
yields as this in the fee of results, as splendid
the one now mentioned, people will turn
their backs on Montana-iusist without
blushins, that her mines are played out, ;"
and commence the long, weary journey to
White Pine 10 hunger and thirst, and per-
hAps, s,arve- Isl.
CABLE CITY-Capt V Mccartney ar
rived last night from Gable City, bringing
with him one hundred and seventy-fve ounces
of gold, worth about four thousand dollars,
which was the result of six days run, of ten
stamps, in the Nowlan mill, from Atlantic
Cable rock. The Captain informs US that the
mill has been closed up for a few days for the
purpose of putting the full force of the com
pany upon a shaft which is being sunk upon
the lode. II is the intention TO run this shaft
down about sixty feet, and from 1t run tun-
nels, thereby giving greater working faeili-
ties Over two-thirds of therock taken from
the shaft is paying ore-far rlcher than any
that has yet been taken from the miEe. Ii is
believed that in the course of a week, when
tie Iniil starts mp again, that rock enongh
can be got out TO run three mills of equal
capacity of the SOvlan mill
