A party OF miners with q strong
guard left Deadwood to-day for the
States, taking with them as real as we
could ascertain about $500 pounds OF
gold.
Many of the miners on Whitewood
and Deadwood, having made their lit
tie pile in three short months, are sell
ing their claims and going back to their
homes to spend the winter.
Green corn, lettuce, string beans, etc.
are quite abundant on our streets.
Next season we may expect to have
nearly all kinds Of vegetables in this
market that a be raised anywhere in
the west.
The body of an unknown man, refer
red to in another column as being found
by Sam Scott and others, is now sup
posed to be that of Geo. w. Palmer, in
honor of whom Palmer's Gulch was
named. When last heard of, Mr.. Palm
er, in company with Cable Brown and
Charles Philips, was prospecting on
Rapid Creek. '
W. H. Ross, A. G. McGregor, George
Graves, Mr.. Halsey were away on a visit
to the western mines the past week,
report seeing plenty of game and having
had a good time. No Indians, but
plenty of gold. The only drawback at
present is the scarcity of water. No
lodes of any importance have been dis
covered that they could learn of.
Mr.. Emeluth, formerly connected
with the Crook City Tribune, who was
supposed to have been killed by Indians
has at last been heard from on his way
to Cheyenne. 1t is believed that he was
suffering from a temporary alteration
of the mind, which caused him to de-
part so suddenly, and without inform
in a single friend of his intentions.
Several citizens who have been INK
iously awaiting the results from the ore
which has been run in the different ar.
astras, have been so well pleased, in
fact so agreeably surprised in the yield,
that they have seen fit to order stamps
to be forwarded Immediately to this
place. In 80 days from the present
Lead City will have a ten stamp mill,
the Indians permitting.
Patrick Shearan, of Lead City, shot
himself yesterday, while under the infu.
ence of pressed corn. He was standing
upon a hill, shooting in all directions,
his friends afraid to approach him.
When the shooting ceased, he was found
with q bullet hole in his forehead, and
it is not known whether the shot was
accidental or not, but it is presumed by
surrounding circumstances that it was
his determination to shake off this nor
tai coil-and he succeeded.
Messrs. Chisem and Son sold out theii
claims, Nos. 4 and s below discovery,
last Thursday, to Robert Meals, for
50, POO. Like most of the adjoining
claims, the creek bed on 4 and 5 is
about worked out. But the past weeks
experience proves that this is no evil
dence that all or nearly all Of the "yel-
low dross' has been captured. Fol-
instance, Jack McCleary, on No. 0,
after finding good pay above bedrock,
sunk a hole four feet through it, neal
his upper line, and found $3.50 to the
pan. No. 10 Buckley, Engher & Co.
drifted into their bar and found the
identical body of gravel that has made
Nos. / and 2 SO famous. This streak
is at least IA feet in width and Z feet
deep, and prospects from SOC to $3.50
to the pan. A very few weeks will demon
strate that, as to the richness of Dead
