From Thursday's Daiiy.l

FROM FoRT WHIPPLE AND HEADauAR- TEAS. A number of officers from Fort Whip pie and Department Headquarters paid a visit to Lynx creek, yesterday, to visit Love joy & Co.'S hydraulic works and witness their operation. His claim is now being worked with very good profit. The last clean up, as Mr Lovejoy explained to his visitors, made after a run of eleven days, slrowing an aver age run of S3l per diem in gold to the hand. Mir Loveloy employs four men. He is now engaged in washing another piece of ground, promising to yield fully as handsomely, if not better than the last. He has all the water he wants, using nearly GOO inches, the head of water being about 80 feet. The numer- ous other claims alongside of and in close proximity to, are also doing iirst-rate, some of them paying an once daily to each work man.
