ANOTHER PAYING GULCH.-Thc first lot
of gold from Bear Gulch came into market
at louisville on Sunday. 1t is as fine as
Cedar in quality; in bulk 1t is smaller, and
requires quicksilver to save i. Bear Gulch
is tributary stream Of Meadow Creek,
which runs parallel and between Sun river
and Quartz gulch. from tho West into Mis-.
soula river. There are but twenty five pay.
ing claims in Bear, but they are reported
to pay we'll.
LAST SUNDAY IN LoUIsEvILLE.-Th.
was more gold sold on yesterday than on
any previous day since discovery. A small
lot from away up on Illinois gulch Bar at
tracted considerable attention by its extreme
fine and flowery appearance. Not less than
$40 ounces were exchanged for currency at
from S2l25 to S21.Sj per ounce. This
must by no means be understood to COM
prise the whole amount taken out of the
gulch during the week, but merely small
portion of it. All the miners will hold Oh
to their gold, and will sell only enough 10
procure grccnbacks for current expenses.
The high bar on No. 20 below Discovery
Yields rich of coarse rusty gold, ut least
500 feet above the level of the creek. Ia
king everything in consideration, prospects
looks mere encouraging now t.aa ever
before.
