From Prof. Jenney's late report, II
would appear. that the Black Hills are
richer IN precious metals. and the valleys
more fertile. than Custer's report indl-
Gated. The supposed fabulous stories OF
miners who had been in the Hills, regard
ing the richness Of the mines there, have
been more than confirmed by an expert
epced m,lcro!ogist,' who went to the
country apparently prejndiced against IT.
Practical Investigations have forced him
to admit that the mines are richer than
has been claimed by those Interested IL
tht ir development.
Besides Its vast mineral deposits, the
Professor reports the soil of the country
deep and fertile. and splendidly adapted
tor agricultural purposes; the grass lands
luxuriant and extensive, and timber IN
abundance and of the finest character
The mountain streams furnish sufficient
supply of water for mining purposes,
and the rainfall is regular aud heavy.
A dispatch from Camp Harvey, in thu
Black Hills, says miners are entering the
hills at the rate of fifty day. The pop
ulation is now about 1000.

A Mr.. Peck has discovered IN the foot
hills at the base of Bradshaw mountains,
in Arizona, what he regards as bonanza
Of the biggest kind. 1t was . crevice two
feet in width IN ledge of quartzite,
which first attracted his attention, dis
closing gray sulphide of silver; and this
led him to closely examine the ledge in
which it was discouered, together with
two others close by, which had been pass
ed over by hundreds of ?rospecters. The
result was the discovery that the three
lodges formed one continuous vein; and
this has now been traced for nearly four
thousand feet on the surface, and is SO
rich that Jumps of pure silver sulphide
weighing from four to ten pounds each,
and yielding e;ghty-four per cent of sill
yer, have been lifted ont. This is the &C
count which Is given of the discovery in
the Arizona Miner, which builds great ex-
pectations upon the development of the
new mine.

paid, with good prospects ahead. Dan
Stannard on the creek above has made
good clean.ups this summer. Jas. Baxter

US the following items from that camp:
during the past week Trenor s. Co. have

men in the camp and still they come.
The company above referred to took
$112 Coin nuggets from four feet square
of bed rock, and the fine gold on the same

opinion of old miners that 1t is not a
