The news from the Duck Creek quartz
mines is 1lattering. Messrs. Howell, Will
liams q Co. are taking out better rock than
ever before. Their last run in the Richard
son & Dodson mill yielded handsomely, and
the rock that is now being taken out shows
free gold all through it, and will doubtless
pay better than any heretofore crushed.
Mr.. Conroy will commence taking out ore
from the Stiner lode in a few days. He has
made arrangements with Richardson & bod
son for crushing the ore in their mill.
IT is claimed that the late floods will set
most of the mines in this county back at
least one year. Several drains are filled,
many diggings have cayed, and a ma
jority of the bar diggings are not being
worked for the reason that the bitches have
been filled with dirt slides and boulders, or
the water from the little side gulches has
caused them to break. But the worst is
over and we may expect lively times during
the remainder of the season.
For the information of any person who
desires to purchase a good farm we wish to
state that the one to be sold by the Sheriff
of Meagher county, on the 18th inst, is one
of the choicest dairy ranches in the country.
1t is enclosed with a good fence, has COM
fortabe dwellings, and is watered by a clear
spring. 1t is convenient to timber, and
about half of the land produces an excellent
quality of hay. Read the notice of sale in
another column.
B. F. T1FT's dam in Confederate gulch,
a mile above the mouth of Cement, gave
way Tuesday, and completely buried his
flume. A pit at the head of the flume, out
of which he expected to clean up about one
thousand dollars in a few days, is filled uI
and his labor lost. Mr.. Il. had put in the
entire season last year in opening his dig:
gings, and when on the verge of reapins
his reward, it has been completely covered
up and all his labor rendered fruitless. Hi
loss may be safely put down at 81, 600.
Mr.. NJ. I'll. MARKS, of Cincinnati, Ohio

tain scenery of this land of gold and grass
hoppers, and hope that before long he vii
conclude to come back and settle in this Tel
ritory.
