Riches Without End.
Bradshaw District.

Bradshaw DistftcG
 "vow, hy St. Paul." the work of uncar'h' l ing the rich treasures of our mountains goes | brsvely on. Fan would we depict the rich noes of our mines, and the joy of our people | at finding and possessing them, in fitting Ian' guage, were it in our power to do so. but, it is not. Our poor pen trembles m our hand, as we approach the glitteting subject, unable to do it justice, and we must content ourself with commonplace accounts of things as they are.
 Then, be 1t known, that the news daily re- ceiyed from Bradshaw District, during tho past week, is of nature to set men wild with thoughts of great expectations, and more than confirms all that we have hereto fore said regarding the unequalIed richness of the gold and silver mines of a mining district which, in point of wealth, bids fair to eclipse all other districts previously discovered in this or any other geographical division Of the world.
 Wednesday last, there arrived in this place, from Bradshaw, several persons, among whom we noticed Major Veil, G. W. Bowers, o. Allen, <. c. Williamson, Jos. Knott, Isobt. Blair, and George Monroe, who, being citizens of veracity, sound mind and good Judgment, were at once besieged by an eager crowd, and their opinions requested. They were freely given, and as freely taken for truth. Of course, all the gentlemen named gave it as their opinion that the mines were good, permanent ones.
 Soon after the excitement had cooled of a little, we approached Major Veil, and were shown specimens of ore from the Tiger, Cougar, Clipper, and other lodges. We were, likewise, informed thae several other rich lodges had been found; also, new placer mines. Then, in answer tO questions pro- pounded by US, he said there were nearly, if not quite, l5O men ia the dstriet, all hard at work k,-their breasts filled with hope, and their pockets with specimens the latter showing chloride, silver glance, black sul- phuret, and pare wire silver.
 Work upon the several shafts and cuts wss heinz pressed, with prnmising results, a' most of the lodges continued to widen ont a, . fast as developed.
 ' The Tiger Company were shipping orc
 from their shaft. They were, also, preparing :. to cut through their ledge, at place vher'

 The Eclipse Company were going to send v lot of their orc to Vulturc City, there to b. 7 treated.
 The Del Pssco shatt was down G fee.
 and, a, that depth, the orc was richer thal - at any point above. 4 letter from Jas. Fin
