The BIG Horn MOUNTAINS. Vir-
glnia Enterprise of the LIST inst, publishes
the following statement.
We yesterday saw in the possession of
gentleman of this city some specimens
of gold and quartz obtained by him in
the Big Horn Mountains in 1870. The
gold is quite coarse, many of the
''chispas" being worth from bit to
thirty cents. The place where this gold
was found is about $50 miles west of the
point where the miners are now con-
centrating in the Black Hills. The man
who exhibited the gold is anxious for
the attention of the Indians to be drawn
to the eastward next spring. as he will
then be able to get back to his diggines
in the Big Horn mountains. He was
one of large party led by jeff. Stanifer.
and the Indians made it very warm for
them. They could prospect nowhere
without being attacked. In the richest
place that they found forty-one of their
men fought back the Indians while six
men worked with pans. In six hours
they washed out 100. The Indians
could then be held back no longer and
they got away with what gold they had
dug. They afterwards made calcula-
ton in regard to the number of pans of
dirt washed, and figured out that they
had taken out SIT per pan. They found
vast ranges Of quartz veins and from
some of these got at the rate of 5000 and
$500 per ton. This gentleman is of the
opinion that the mining regions of the
Black Hills is much the same kind of
country as that he was in and that it is
immensely rich. While he was talking
yesterday and showing his specimens he
attracted large and much interested
audience.

GENERAL NEWS.

1t seems likely that the project to send
California team to compete at the Gen.
tennial rifle matches will fall through,
owing to the lack of interest manifested
by crack shots. It was intended to hold
meetings every other Saturday and select
the best shots to represent the State, but
nothing has yet been done and the mat
ter will probably be dropped.
The San Francisco Stock Exchange
tells the following about two mines. A
year or 30 ago W. s. Hobart was Chief
Engineer of Caledonia's destinies. He
has mills in which Caledonia's ores
were worked. And Caledonia ia O stock
that will stand assessing roundly several
times year, which is fine feature in a
mine. Gen. Bob Morrow had his eye on
Caledonia. He longed to run it in con-
nection with Overman. Some how or
other Morrow secured majority of the
stock, to Hobart's great surprise, and
Hobart went out of the management as
Morrow went in. Hobart was sorely
disappointed, but waited for time to
make all things even. And they say
that, with the assistance Of Flood &
v Dnen, uopart mas secureu the re-
CURED number OF shares to insure
Morrow's taxing Walk: Morrow is as
shrewd as they make them, and if he
has been euchred, somebody has "play cd
roots ON him." Hobart will resume the
management of Caledonia, and it is
rumored that q raid Is contemplated on
Overman. II this Is SO the stock ought
to be a good buy for Morrow will not
surrender without big night.

LrxBuseEn IN A CoAr.-Every one
knows that Germans are fond OF Linn.
burger cheese. also that the said cheese
is agreeable to the taste but not to the
smell, and that the eater thereof. after
finishing, always washes his bands in
order that the perfume will linger no
longer than the meal. One Of our
business men had q visitor q few DAYS
since, and be becoming annoyed by his
incessant eabble, the merchant thought
that q little dose of Limburger in his
coat would prevent q repetition of the
visit So he accordingly spread a good
dose in both overcoat pockets, smearinp
the same over the sides of the pockets SO
that it could not drop out. Exposure to
the air renders this cheese fragrant, and
after our friend left the store he noticed
that all of his friends after q minute
conversation seemed to avoid him, He
of them. who explained. He hastily re-
treated home and succeeded in cleaning
up the obnoxious raiment.
FINANcE CoMNIrrEE.-Thef following
gentlemen have been appointed as the
Finance Committee for the benefit to
come of on Thursday evening next, in
aid of little Fannie Clements: j. W.

The gentlemen above named will see
that the funds contributed for this object
of charity are used for that purpose
alone.

on Meadow Valley street yesterday after
noon between two men, which. while il

was knocked down in the mud. He
picked himself up considerably the worse
for wear. The other retired on his
laurels.
The sermon at the Episcopal Church
on Sunday evening last was listened to

others.

EASTERN DISPATCHES.

ST.. LOUIS, March 5.-The Times will
tomorrow publish on the authority of
men who have been engaged in frontier
trading for tho past fourteen years, some
very interesting facts connected with this
business. 1t states that Orville Grant,
brother of the President, has been inter-
ested in disposing of trading posts for
money. Grant. shortly after the appoint
ment of Belknap as Secretary of War,
visited most of the posts on the frontier.
and cancelled all licenses issued by Sec
rotary Rawlins. Durfee and Peck, ex-
tensive Government freighters and mer-
chants on the frontier. held the principal
suttler shop at the time, and were aston
ished at this unexpected change. Mr..
Peck investigated the matter and found
that Orville Grant had full authority
from the Secretary of War to dispose Of
all trading posts as he thought fit. Peck
applied to Grant for authority to retain
certain posts where his firm had invested
large sums of money in buildings and
goods, and he would agree to it only on
terms OF 80 much cash down and
q certain share OF the profits, practi-
oally the same arrangement that existed
between Marsh, Evans & Co. at Fort Sill.
Peck refused to comply with these terms
and others received the appointments.
At Fort Buford and Fort Peck A. @.
Leighton was appointed Sutler upon the
terms proposed by Orville Grant. The
bonus required was SO large be lost
money and subsequently offered to sell
to Dufree 4 Peck. The latter agreed to
buy, but leighton had first to obtain
permission to sell from Grant. This Of
fer was refused; and easier terms made
with Leighton. The Fort Sully trader
ship was taken from Dufree & Peck and
given to John F. Ashley. Ashley paid all
the money he had to get the post and
was obliged to make terms with Durfee
4 Peck to run it. The latter firm leased
from him and carried on business for a
year. when the profits accruing to Ashley
enabled him to run the business himself.
Dufrae & Peck had the leadership at
| Fort Sill. but it was given to Evans 4
Co. Dufree & Peck attempted carrying
on business in opposition to Evans SEQ.
but the officers of the Fort were for.
hidden to give the soldiers orders on any
firm but Evans & Co., and they were
forced to abandon the post. Orville
Grant went so far in his opposition
to Dufres & Peck that he forbid those
to whom he had given the appointments,
to purchase goods or buildings belong.
ing to that 6rm. Grant also had an ar.
rangement with the Interior Department
by which he controlled many of the
Indian trading posts. These be disposed
OF in the same manner as the sutlershipt
to the highest bidder. Grant was in The
habit Of visiting military posts and In
dian trading stations every yea,
to collect the money due him and hi,
partner. Belknap. For this purpose h,
had authority from Secretary Belknap te
draw upon any Of the military posts fol
ambulances, trains and such aid as h,
might require. His authority wa,
generally recognized ard he was greatly
feared BY all along the frontier. Tn,

JONES AND Silver. Senator Jones says
that without exception all the newspaper
articles purportiDg to describe what his
bill or speech on the silver coinage ques-
ton will contain are unauthorized, in.
correct or imperfect. He withholds q
description OF his plan until his explsna-
tory argument is ready to accompany it.
Senator Jones has not yet fully matured
his contemplated proposition in regard
to the legal tender use Of silver; but
one Of its main features will probably be
q provision tor making United States
Treasury certificates based on individual
deposits of silver with tho Government

Senator does not agree with those who

citation Of this great product by England
