A party from the Black Hills arrived
to-day. Professor Jenney's party and
the expedition under Colonel Dodge
have formed a permanent camp on
French Creek, near Harney's Peak,
called Camp Harvey, close by a stock
ade the miners built whom Capt. Mix
brought out. Gold seems to have been
found in abundance. Nearly a hun
dred miners were found there in differ
ent camps, who have located claims
and done considerable work in build
ing s%luices, digging bitches, etc. Some
of the party report that soldiers in the
command have PANIED out gold dust
of a rich quality. The command is re-

Private advices received here say the

easily PANIED. Quartz mines are
abundant, but no one has prospected

The Inter Oceans special from Gus
tar's Gulch. Dakota, via Fort Harvey,
says: Gold in large quantities and of
| good quality has been discovered in
Custar's Gulch, on French Creek, and
! along the stream for a distance IF
upward of seven miles toward the
source. Colonel Dodge, with three
cavalry companies, left Camp Harvey
for the purpose of locating a perma-
nent camp in some favorable place in
the vicinity OF Harney's Peak. The
command marched due north, along
Beaver Creek, then northeast, and,
when at the end of the second days
march, Custar's track was struck in
the midst of snow and rain. That offi-
GERS line of march was pursued in a
southeastcrly direction, along Castle
Greek, where the first indications Of
gold were found. This event induced
Professor Jenney to remain at Castle
Creek Valley three days in order to
prospect, a cavalry company being left
with him. With the remainder of the
command, Col. Dodge proceeded in a

Peak was reached, and last Monday
camp was reached on Custar's Gulch
and in close contiguity to the stockade
built by the miuers whom Captain
Mix brought out to the Black Hills
this Spring. On General Custar's cav
airy camp ground prospects We're
speedily made and a good color WAS
PANIED ont, Of gold that was of fine
quality. The gold fever spread so rap
idly there was hardly one in the COM
mand who had not seen and panned
out gold from these placers, or
gulches. The mines are about Camp
Harvey for a distance OF seven miles.
There are, scattered along French
Creek, fonr different mining compa-
MES, numbering twenty-five men, that
have taken up claims, from all Of
which good color has been obtained.
There are also several quartz iodes
| which promise rich returns, but the
greatest stress should be placed on the
| rulch gold diygings.
