we obtained most information from Jacob Romer
He left Orc Grande on Friday morning and reached
here by easy riding in three and half days. His
description of the road thther and of the mines gen.
orally agrees with that given by Mr.. Knapp, which
we publish on the second page of this paper. He
says that beyond Deadwood the country abounds not
only in small game fish and Birds but in mountain
sheep, ibex elk antelope and bears Of the dggings
he speaks very encouragingly. The gold will assay
nearer to SIS than to SIT per ounce and although the
country is not at all fairly prospected yet he is conf
dent from what he has of it, that it will prove
one of the richest and most extensive districts yet
discovered The best claims had been taken up by
the first crowd who got in there from Lemhi and
Montana, and they had located ! large number of
claims in the names of friends in those regions
That crowd outnumbered those who have gone from
this region, but the Basin crowd will pretty well
hold their own in matters pertaining to community
interests. Several quartz veins, which gave every

strikes i'll that line of mining. Mr.. Romer estimates
the number there when he left at about co., and

Lemhi and Montana as well as from this way. The

preciptated from high sharp points the mountain
side down into ravincs, and killed, and their cargoes
totally lost. Riders have 10 dismount frequently to
