NEW DIGGINGs.-A party of miners,
among ~hom was our old time acquaintance,
c. C. Bodiue. who will strike pay streak if
there is one in the guleh, have been prospect
ing nearly all winter in a side gulch about
four miles beyond Georgetown, succeeded on
last Thu sday In obtaioing q prospect that
promises good diggings. They sluieed out
Si9 IN a three hour run with one box, after
reaching bedrock A Dozen or two friends
we're quietly informed, and yesterday some
forty miners were present, organized dis
trict, stsked Of the gulch, AID prepared TO
commence wurA shortly The boys believe
they have good ounce diggIngs. Bedrock
l. from 6 tN 10 feet, ana there Is about 25
inches of water in the guleh. 1t has been
named 4" Specimen g1lch," rather more eu-
pbonious than that Of the one Immediately
below, which gues by the sobriquet of IoP
Ear" We hope they will make good thing
of Is, there are number Of good boys IN
teresSed-
GRIZZLY GULCH.-The upper district
of this once famous Euleh yields still its
thousands, and work has commenced IN earn
est. The water, usually scarce, only permits
half day working at present. but ere long
plenty OF the element viii dow down the
euIch, when the returns from that portion of
our mines will be felt In commercial circles.
More pay dirt has been taken out this last
winter than during any previous time at
that season, and huge piles of rich prospect
ing gravel are lying ready, and being hauled
to the gulch from the Park "a hAt or placer
near the head of Wilson gulch). This part of
GriIIly presents n lively appearance, from the
fact that those who wintered there have lost
bot two days during the whole of the season
In which winter is supposed to oc-urJ and
will surely reap q nch harvest during the
summer.
COMING HoNR.-We are indebted to
the courtesy of Charlie KNITTING for g
copy of the following telegram, received
last evening. It will be noticed that ''Our
Delegate" Is within few days sail, and will
doubtless meet his opponents sat Philllppl
or PhilIpsburg, or some other small town In
Montana. There will be fun in the campaign

ANOTHER BRIcK.-Mr. s. T. Molitor
reduced to a brick and assayed quantity of
TeSOtt, being the result of = two weeks run
of the Y L mill at Unionville. The weight
of the brick was 2lO o., and ITS coin value
four thousand aDd thirty-seyen dollars. This
us another evideoce thOI Montana - not
creature of chance but is capable Of yielding
a steady and golden harvest 10 all who labor
IN the night direction
FROM THE GALLATIN.-We were hon
Ored by a call from Major Campbell, who has
just up from the 6allatin ca a visit From
the Major we learned many interesting facts
In regard 20 the late Indian fight, which fully
corob5rnted the letter or our correspondent
The Major also stated that the prospect for
bountiful crops the coming season was very
fatterinz. Every farmer is putting an as ex
tensive crop as possible, and are very san
guIne for the rssults- We hope all their ex-
Pee;ations may Be- realized. for such untiTIng
energy and industry that exhibited By our
Gallatin people should be rewarded an hun
dred fold
The LATE SNOW, il is said. Was pro-
duetive of very little good TO the country at
large. Instead of melting gradually and
being absorbed By the earth, t0 filter slowly
toward the Missouri anj catch the spring
bsats by a June food, it disappeared almost
as quickly As it came, flooded the little
creeks and poured into the big river At sea-
son when il was not st all needed. II the
weather should remain In Its present dry
cordition for . season, the prospect for an
early arrival Of boats at Benton will be rath-
sr gloomy. We trust rain or snow may
come. for not only the Commerce of Mon
tsna bet the mining Intere ts-the greatest
there are To her-depend upon tpring rains.
Should ne have a dry season, the exodus 70 |
white Pine would be great add exhausting.
THE U. s. DISTRICT COURT will con-
vene thls morning n O'Clock, and it is ex-
pected that q jury trial will be pat on hear
ing, and it beho0ESs every juryInan TO Be on |
