CoDs;oekers. parties are now engaged IN
ground-sluicing for gold. The name
given to the old canyon Of gold ravine"
has never proved misnomer. IL has
panned out gold to steady and ipdustri-
ous miners from the day ofiis discovery.
and continues to do 50 to tbs present
day.
The SiouI murdered over one hun
dred Montana prospeciors, who were not
encroschiug upon their reservation,
before the discovery Of gold 10 the Black
Hill; and they frequently. before that
time, raided right through the Grow re-
seryation into the valleys Of Eastern
Montana, numbering settlers and steal
ing stock. All this talk about the
treaty nights" Of the murderous yermiD
is the wickedes. sort Of nonsense.
They cams very near having q second
edition Of the Hamburg rio. in San
Francisco on the occasion of the arrival
OF Major General Mcdowell. in that city.
The Second Brigade of the National
Guard was drawn up in line on the
wharf to receive the renowned hero Of
Bull Run. and wouli not permit citizens
to leave the boat for nearly an hour after
it landed at the wharf II seems that
the white "a well as colored militia know
how to be insoient at times.
On the 10th inst, boiler explosion
occurred at the engine house Of the
Chase mine. situated in New York
canyon, which blew the whole house
into atoms. Some OF the shingles of the
roof were carried off 200 yards and the
rest OF the building was scattered In
every direction. Strange to say. the en-
aiueer, at the time the explosion took
place, stood only eight feet from the
boiler and escaped without injury.
A party Of muscular rairoaders, says
the Silver State, went up the river yes.
teriay to have a swim and wash off the
dust which accun ula,ed on their persons
during the storm. Two of them bet the
cigars that they could throw a third
member Of the party. who raises the
beam at $50 pounds, across the river
with his clothes on. They made three
attempts to win the bet, but % they only
succeeded in throwing him about eigh,
feet from the bank, the referee decided
that they had lost the cigars.
The Elko papers ere advising the peo-
pie Of that county TO put forward their
very best men, irrespective of party, for
the Legislature. in order that Eureka
county may be prevented from acquiring
the Mineral Hill territory. They express
q determination TO fight the question to
the bitter end, and with this view the
ablest and most skillful Legislators the
county can muster will be sent to Car
son. The Sentinel says Eureka is en-.
titled to every inch Of that disputed ter.
ritory and We have very strong pre-
sentiment that she will get it at the next
session Of the Legislature.
