gentleman from Steamboat Springs
informs tho Enterprise that they are

or two west of the Springs, but also
making many other curious discover
ies. One of these is the discovery of

that the paint is in streaks of various
cOlOrs, and that 1t feels just the same
rs white lead ground in oil. There is
an abundance of the stuff, and all who
have seen it are OF The opinion that it IN
far superior To any native paint vet
found in any part OF the world. He
says that in some places where they
are digging for sulphur the ground is
so hot ut the depth of four or five feet
that the sulphur can hardly be held in

operations are being conducted i'm a
region Of extinct hot springs. hut 1t

to sink To any considerable depth be-
fore coming upon ground t',at il still
nearly red-hot. The cinnnbar excite
ment runs high. and claims are being
staked of in every dirsction. Numer.

Gated. In ON places solid masses of
sulphur are reached upon the removal
Of four or five feet of surface soil.
