A wELL-To-Do and fine-looking six-footer
entered our office one day last week, and
picking up a late number OF the HUSBAND
A remarked: "Ill just take this-guess
you have no use for it :" then walked out
with the air of a full-grown sovereign, leay-

MEssRs. CRUDE 81 RINGER finished deliv-
ering the first ten tons Of quartz from their
Lone Tree lode to the Duck Creek mill last
Tuesday. Mr.. Richards, the mill owner,
has agreed to crush it and give the result at
once. Much depends upon this test. If it
pays as we'll as is estimated by Mr.. Richards,

ANEW channel was foundry Vim. Qninn
last week, near the rim, just back of the old
town site, on Eldorado bar. We learn that
considerable excitement prevailedf for q little

staked. The channel is represented to be
fifteen feet wide. The gold is coarse and
very rich. Mr.. Quinn claims to have washed
out $40 from one pan of dirt. Messrs. But
terrified s. Bro, own 600 feet OF this bar, and
intend to ommenc working in the new
channel as soon as they finish cleaning up
their bedrock. Messrs. Riley, Manly, Welch,
and the other fortunate claimants on this
channel, all contemplate putting in the Win
ter working there. Ii this channel is as rich
as it is represented to be, inc extends
through the whole length Of the bar, we may
truly claim that a new.era has daWned upon
Confederate. Her yield Of gold will be in
creased and times better.
