THE A HILLS.
What AN Old Practical Miner
says Of the Gold Yield.

81 Louis Republican.
Mr.. G.. Ii. Carrow, on old Cali,
fornia miner, who for the past
three years has been residin & in
Jefferson county, Mo-, and who
went this spring to the Black hills.
has just returned and is stopping
at Barnum's hotel in this city.
Mr.. Carrow was twenty years a
resident of California and twenty
years a miner there. He can
therefore see as deep into the
ground as any one. He yesterday
informed a Republican reporter that
there is beyond doubt some rich
ground in the hills, but it is not
all richness by any means. He
has prospected the Whitewood
and Deadwood districts and work
ed a very good claim in the latter,
in proof whereof he has brought
with him>about a hundred ounces
Of dust which he intends to for
ward to- the mint. His analysis
of the prospects there is about as
follows: There are some rich
claims that pay from $40 to $50 a
day per man. One claim has
taken out 800, employing about
20 wren: Another big claim has
cleaned up $4,000, both in the
Deadwood district: There are
many other claims in this district
that pay well, but out of the 5000
miners who have gone in there,
not more than two-fifth are at
work. Wages are 81 to S. a day
wherever men are needed.
The claims opened are creek
claims. The gravel is not deep
and has to be shovelled into the
boxes. No hydraulic apparatus has
yet been set at work. The hill
claims prospect as well as the
creek and probably the district,
though small will last for years.
There is plenty Of water to work
the claims now opened. White
wood, which is the main stream,
has more water, but the bedrock
lies deeper and the claims are
much more expensive to work.
Thin ground prospects well. All
kinds Of provisions are at reason
able prices, the business being
overdone. Flour is $40 perhund-
red. The miners still have to re-
main close about camp on &C
count of the Indians, who are very
watchful about picking up strag-
slers. While there is undoubted-
ly good mining ground in the
hills, thus far there has not been
nearly enough opened up to EN-
ploy the men who are already
there. 1t is currently supposed
that this is probably the last great
.placer-mining excitement the
;world will ever see, and all the
old coasters who were footloose
are already on the ground, hoping
to make q home-stake out of this
opportunity.

the three ranges are as follows: Ameri-

THE GREAT EXPOSITION.

New York Day-The Biggest Cro,cd
Yet-Fruit, Etc.
Philadelphia, Sept. 2l.-This is the
New York State day, and trains all
morning ran into the city densely
packed with New Workers. Not only
was the capacity of railroad ~transporta-
ton taxed to its utmost, but the trans
p~ortation to the grounds, for the first
time, was insufficient. At / O'Clock
this. afternoon the cash admissions
amounted to ITO, 58S, thus making the
attendance the first half of to-day great
er than that of any entire days attend
an:e heretofore. There were no formal
ceremonies at the grounds, the only APP
proach to formality being Gov. Tilden's
reception at the New York State build
ing this afternoon. President Grant is
present and at noon lunched at the
British headquarters.
The California fruit show is closed at
Pathological Hall, where it was the
great attraction while it lasted. There
is dissatisfaction expressed with the at
torney and manager for the California
Fruit Growers company for not keep
ing up the display. 1t was understood
that one car load weekly would follow
the first consignment, but this has
failed.

n Through LiHe from Ocean 70 Ocean.
Chicago, Sept! 2l.-The Tribune says
the officers OF the Erie, Baltimore &
Ohio and Union Pacific railroads are on
their way to this city for the purpose
of making arrangements ID establish a
through line from New York to San
Francisco. This las been a long con-
templated scheme of Jay Gould's, and
he seems TO have at last obtained a
sufficient interest in the Northwestern
and other roads necessary to complete
the line and carry the scheme to a sue
cessful issue. The roads to constitute
this line r the Erie from New York
to Salamanca; the Atlantic and Great
Western from Salamanca to Mansfield;
the Baltimore d Ohio from Mansfield to
Chicago; the Chicago & Great Western
from Chicago to Omaha; the Union
Pacific from Omaha to Ogden, and the
Central Pacific from Ogden to San
Francisco.
There is also TO be a through line
from st. Louis, as follows: The Erie
and Atlantic d Great Western to Gin
einnati; the Ohio Sc Mississippi to st.
Louis; the St. Louis, Kansas City s.
Northern and st. Joseph and Council
Bluffs to Omaha, and thence via the
Union and Central Pacific railroads to
San Francisco. Jay Gould himself is
with the party now on their way here,
and it is stated that there are no further
obstacles in the way of making this, his
favorite scheme, a fixed fact.
st. Louis, Sept. 21.-Jay Gould and
President Dillon, of the Union Pacific
r. R., and J. Mccullough, general
manager, arrived here yesterday. 1t is
understood their purpose is to consult
regarding their interests here. in connec-
ton with late railroad movement in
this state.

laborers on the Manchester & Keene II.
R., marched into the city this afterno n
armed with canes and clubs, creating
general alarm. The courthouse bell
was rung and Central square was speed
lily filed with citizens. The men were
mostly Italians and the demonstration
vas caused by the failure Of the con-
tractors to pay their wages. The men
visited the residences of several promi-
nent men identified with the road, de.
manding wages and food, threatening
to burn the town if their demands were
not complied with. The police and

The Eriradition Question.

The Eztradition Question.
Washington, Sept. 21.-The condi-
ton of the negotiation between Great
Britain and this country concerning
extradition is this: After the WinsloW
case was settled by the release of
the prisoner, our government took the
ground that no law of Parliament could
under any circumstances be made to
abTogate a treaty. While Lord Derby
insists that a new treaty must be made
OF the basis of the law of 1873, Secre-
tary Fish declares that the United
States a take no action unless the
subject has ceased. Fish says any
proposition must come from Great
Britain and that none will be enter
tanned other than one admitting our
position to be correct.

Gen. Houard's Mission.
Gen. Howard, in command Of the

which threatens to result in a general

Indians claim that the promises made
to them by the Modoc peace commits
sioner, Meacham, to the effect that a
certain valley with its salmon fisheries
should be reserved for them free from
white men, have been broken through
the influence of the government of Ore
gon and the late secretary, Delano.
The valley was opened to settlement
and whites have crowded in there and
have threatened to drive the Indians
out. One Indian was recently MUIR
dered by white men, and both parties
are now arming. Howard is of the
opinion that a commission Of civilians
and army officers could adjust the diff
Guilty and prevent a war, which would
cost the government at least 800, 900.
The Interior Department authorities
seem to approve of Towards plan, and
it will be submitted to the Adjutant
General of the army.
