DEADwooD, June 12.-We might call
this gulch in which we sojourn the gulch
Of cities, for in one days rr1de you can
pass through more cities and towns than
in any equal distance even in the densely
populated fowery land. Starting in a
little below the junction of the Deadwood
and Whitewood creeks we have Montana

that the tail does to boys kite, the main
street of Deadwood being continued away
down into Elizabethtown, and here the

bluff and on the other treacherous crum-

Woe betide the luckless mules that hap

the streets we pass on up the Deadwood,

Heavens! what name for place in the
Black Hills. Gayville is quite a little
place and does considerable business.
Right above Gayville in rapid succession
we find Central City, Golden Gate, An

New Chicago, all being lively places OF a

lots. We are now up among the quartz
mines that line the hills in all directions,
