The Jefferson River Mines.

The most encouraging reports are continu-
ally coming in regarding these mines. and
the various tributaries to the Jefferson are
beng prospected, rich findings resulting
thcrcfrom. Several new camps have been
made on Willow Creek, the Big Hole. &c.
The people of Madison county are highly cx-
cited over the prospects of having sc, Ond
Alder in the Jefferson mines, which will
yield untold millions. A private letter from
Virginia city Informs us that these mines are
the general theme Of conversation on the
corners. and much confidence in their rich
ness is felt and expressed, and that there will
be full attendance of the bone and sinew cf
Madison county at the diggings on repre-
sentation day.
The last issue OF the Malisonian contains
tic following item in regard to these mines !:
All accounts from the newly discovered
Jefferson river mines are of the most tlatter-
ing nature. and all who have visited and pros
pectcd thcm are unanimous in expressing the
opinion that they will prove the richest and
most extensive iiggings that have yet been
discovered in Montana. The prices of claims
are high. which is an assurance that claim
owners do not value their chances lightly.
and as all unite in o:e opinion as to the ex-
tent. richness Of the new diggings. they may
be set down as a reality. only to be fully re-
allied when they are opened up and worked.
