Thirty Millions Of Gold.

The Wealth that has been extract
ed from Alder Gulch. Montana.
In the spring Of 1868 Il party Of
five miners from Bannock took the
trail for the Yellowstone and Big
Horn country, which for some time
had been supposed to be rich in
gold. Shortly after crossing tie
Madison on their way eastward they
encountered Indians, and were driven
back across the spur west Of the
Madison into the valley of the Stink
ing Water. Following down this
stream toward its junction with the
Jefferson, they canped over night at
the mouth Of a narrow gorge coming
from the East. AS usual they pros
pectcd its bed, and TO their intense
qualification found exceedingly rich
prospects. Stimulated by success
they pushed explorations next morn
ing still further, and before the day
was over had satisfied themselves
that the new creek was richer than
any yet founl in the Territory.
This was Alder Gulch, which proved
the most productive mountain gorge
for its length that has probably ever
been found in any par; OF the world,
and whose history, if it could be
written, would present, perhaps, the
widest scenes of dissipation and
lawlcssncs that could be found.
The Fairweathcr party, the dis
coverers, Immediately located and
staked ont the richest ground they
could find, and began washing, meet
ing with unprecedented success.
For time the discovery was kept
secret, but ultimately provisions had
to be bought, and the trip made to
Bannack for these resulted in the
publication of the news. Instantly
there was a tremendous rush to AL"
der. Tho gulch was invaded by

- A correspondent of the Union Times
thinks that the colored free schools should
be taught by white teachers, for the rea-
SON that colored teachers are so generally
incompetent, and Consequently unfit for
the important Offices. The argument Is
: - .-~, -..~ NO UuIiIu uKa 20 see the
suggestion of the ZTns5 correspondent
adopted in every case where II is possible.
There are come colored teachers who are
competent, but they are very scarce. AS
a general thing the colored teachers of
the State ought TO be studying the very
rudiments. IF we expect to make the
expenditure of public money profitable
TO the colored people, by advancing them
intellectually, so as to make them better
citizens, It can oaly DO done by giving
them better teachers, As preEent there
is prejudice against Uhita narzns,s leeel.-
ing IN coleEAd eche;is Ii thi5 Stats. and
this would make it difficult to eecuro The
class of teachers needed. IL, however.
the change could ba made, this prejudice
wonld gradually pass away. 10 secure
this will be the work Of time.

tim of nnr rros.A!na Ss 1ss9:se Ga this
poiSt, which wm:
Resolred, That only members Of the
Democratic Clubs shall be entitled to
vote in the primary election; and tho
Secretary Of each Club shall have the

the election, and all legal vOters, who are
not members prior thereto, upon joining

entitled TO vote by signing the Constitu-
tion Of the Club.
The last recommendation of the Com.
mittee Is:
No one shall be declared the nominee

primary election.
Should no candidate for any particular
otiice receive q majority Of the votes cast,

On the principle tina. we had bel' er let

recommendation for Anderson County.
In the election OF 1876 the candidates re-.
ceiving the highest numoer of votes were
the nominees, und se believe 1t will be
safer to retain the old plan. Where a
majority Of all the votes is required 1t
might become very difficult to nominate

of candidates running, and at best we
