Our-Agent's Trip. to sEznigrant-
Gn1ch

This was no $50! de ROL" trip, mol
was it in search of bear or strange adven
ture. It was simply visit to EmigranI
for the purpose Of seeing and interviewing
the friends and patrons OF the AvAN1
COURIER. On arriving at the Gulcb
on Sunday, the agent: was requested by
Mr.. Coane to eat and tell what he knew
The first was an agreeable and the latter
a very short and easy task; after which
the conversation turned to the manner in
which the boys showed their patriotism
on the Centennial Fourth. John Caldwell
said the day was an extremely warm
one, and they were all dressed up ir
their nice clean "biled" clothes, and al
had fans except himself, and that toward
night the boys made it pretty hot for him
but before the next Centennial dawns on
Emigrant it will be even up fans.
The Gulch has population Of fifty OF
sixty; there are four families; DR.. Don L.
Byam is the resident physician; Mr.. John
Coane, P. NJ. and Mr.. Aylesworth keeps
the store of the Gulch, and Is doing frs,
class business. Many of the claims are
paying well, and it is thought that in less
than two weeks all the claim owners will
be taking out plenty of pay from bed rock.
When on the pay streak they have averag-
led Sis 10 $50 to the man per day.
Although comparatively isolated from
the outside World they have weekly
mail, and to see the amount of newspapers
from almost every quarter of the Globe
received at that burg is proof positive tina,
they are well informed in the leading
topics of the day, and that they are Judges
|of journalism.
Having an invitation and it being con
venient the agent had the pleasure Of
changing up" over night with Mr.. s. V.
Wheeler, nephew Of the Republican
nominee for Vice Presidency, who is
the butcher at the Gulch, and early Mon.
day morning the miners from all parts
Iof the camp carte and took him down-to
their cabins and gave him a substantial
advance in greenbacks and dust on sub
,scription to the COURIER. They said they
liked the AvANT COURIER for its
local and general news qualities, and
that they were willing to disgorgc to
the extent of V yearly for the pleasure
OF reading it every Friday evening, for
which flattcring and encouraging words
he felt highly pleased, and promised them
that he would do all in his power to &C.
complish their desire. .....#
There are no spirituous liquors used in
Emigrant. ''Sobriety. industry and big
boulders" is their motto, and if these
honest, hardy miners who have stuck to
their motto and Emigrant for years and
years do not deserve success we don't
know who does, and give it up.

FROM THE VALLEY
= aA1n4rrs VALLEY, July 8, 1876. :
DEAR COURIER: - y :

~ GALLATrN VALLEr, July 9, 1876.
DEAR Coun1Er: -
Since my first and last letter to you thu
Fourth has passed with Its roaring cannon
fireworks, pic MICS, dancing, ETC., aud the
Tooth anniversary of Americas indepen
dencc appropriately observed Throughout
the 'land of the free and the home of til.
brave" All hayc returned to their wonted
|avpcatiois-thc farmer to his grain field
the merchant to his counting room and
lmechanic to his workshop. But amids,
lit all, news OF bloody Indian. war il
abroad IN the land, giving the sickenine
details of the work of the tomahawk and
|scalping knife; of the many homes made
|desolate and loved ones separated forever
on earth. At at time when peace and
good will toward men should reign in oul
land, the war-whoop of the savage Sioux
is heard and his terrible presence felt.
Next TO the Indians the gnsshoppers
are our worst pests in this country. The
crops in some portions of our community
have been seriously damaged, and l fear
the worst has not yet come.
There is fine crop of hay ready for
the sickle. and farmers have commenced
moving it.
I believe county fairs, so far as Gallatin
is concerned, are things that were. 1t
seems SO, No preparations are being made
to have any this year. I suppose hard
times accounts for this lack of enterprise
on the part Of our citizens.
The health Of the people Of the Valley
is very good at present, better than usual
at this season of the year.
l learn that my letter, published few
weeks ago, caused some little gossip
among few over-curious persons, more
particularly by a young gentleman halling
from Jefferson county, or some other place.
l haven't had an opportunity of meeting
the young man, but from hear-say l I'M
derstand he is quite lady's man, or at
least thinks he is, and that he IS looking
for Laura" and seems to think every
young lady he gets acquainted with is this
mysterious parsonage. He is, as | am in.
formed. very devoted, and might be con
sidered "gushing.' It is Il wonder to me
he hasn't married some one ere this. No
doubt he would propose marriage to me
on our first meeting. but as Laura" Is
already engaged to another it would be
Washing his sweetness on the desert air, "
and may as we'll give up his search.
