A LETTER FROM THE MINES.
r. A. Richie, of Rocky Point, Who Has
Been There to See for Himself Re-
ports on the Little Rockies.

Rocky POINT, September 13, 1884,
Jerry Collins, Esq, Fort Benton, NJ. z. !;
DEAR SIR:-Your favor of8th to hand
and noted. Messrs. Dunton, Doan and
others, who passed through here week
ago for the new mines, went into Little
Rocky creek gulch and found prospects
to encourage further search, and next
day they found from one cent to the pan
on the surface to 75c. and ST. to the pan
on bedrock, and on putting rocker to
work two men took out an ounce and a
half in less than day. There is from
one to four feet of dirt to the bedrock,
and pay in all of it, and better head of
water than in Little Alder gulch. The
gulch is nearly if not all staked out now.
[ went to the mines few days ago and
panned good manv pans of dirt, in all
Of which I got good prospects, and in
some pans as high as fifty cents to the
pan. I have had some experience in
the old camps Of Alder and Butte, and
am well satisfied that there is as good
pay in the Little Rockies as has been
found in Montana, and do not think
half-of the good paying gulches of the
Little Rockies have been found yet.
R. A. RICHIE.

ON THE ROAD.
MAIDEN, September 6, 1S84

MAIDEN, September 3, 1884.
Editors of the River Press:
The next place of any Importance is
the sheep ranch of Miss Corson, the
Montana Sheep Queen" She being
at present in Chicago the ranch is under
the care of an efficient manager, who
has entire charge. He informed me
that the sheep were in fine condition
and had stood the past severe winter
with small loss.
The sheep of McGregor, on his range
ten miles north of Martinsdale, are also
doing we'll, as will be found the case
with that class of stock in the Mussel-
shell country The character of the
soil is entirely different from that of the
Judith, the bench lands being similar to
monster gravel beds and covered with a
short growth of grass, which is consid-
cred best for sheep.
A number of cattlemen in the neigh
borhood of Martinsdale have disposed
of their cattle and started in the sheep
business, that being considered the most
remunerative in this section. The stock
men have quite recently been annoyed
by band of some 200 Grow Indians,
who have not been over-particular as to
their conduct, especially among the
sheep camps, they having gone through
most of the outlying camps, taking what
provisions they could lay their hands
on, and in some instances killing sheep.
Business at Martinsdale, as rule, is
very slow, although money does not
seem to be SO scarce as in the vicinity OF
Fort Benton, chiefly owing to the fact
Musselshell are interested in stock, con-
hn cfo fn nf "a rty of

erS.
Surrounding Martinsdale, on the Mus
selshell and its many tributaries, as far
down as Lavina, where the Benton &
Billings road crosses the stream, the
valley is principally located by stock
men, and judging from the many fine
residences and comfortable homes they
are generally successful.
Lavina, fifty miles from Billings, is
rather lively place. It being in the
heart of the Musselshell cattle region,
it is the rendezvous for the cowboys OF
that section, who collect there in large
numbers almost every evening and
amuse themselves after their peculiar
fashion. The night of my arrival at
that place there was one hilarious indi-
vidual industriously employed with a
long-handled shovel, shoveling the
chairs and tables out of the back door OF
the saloon for the special edification OF
the many spectators. Walter Burke,
formerly uperintendent OF the Benton
& Billings stage line, has his new saloon
almost completed. He has already
moved in and reports business SO far as
being good. g

NEWS FROM THE LITTLE ROCKIES,
Peter Macdonald Returns From the Mines
With Good News-He Sells
CLAIM to Sergt Lynch
for $3.50.

From Fridays Daily.
Peter Macdonald returned from the
Little Rockies last evening with further
confirmation Of the good news already
brought He had located claim IN
Little Rocky gulch, and being unex-
perienced in mining he effected sale
of his claim to Sergt. Peter Lynch OF
Fort Assinaboine for three hundred and
fifty dollars. This is the first sale OF
any property in that locality. Peter
thinks he has done well.
Our reporter called upon him at his res
idence, eliciting the following informa-
ton, which fully confirms all that has
been said regarding the mines. he
states that three men with rocker on
claim one above discovery, IN Little
Rocky gulch, are taking out daily from
fifteen to twenty-five dollars, and thinks
the amount will be increased when they
get fairly at work. All the prospects
thus far are of the most encouraging
character and the miners are perfect
~ satisfied.
Bob Main and Charlie Smith are re-
ported taking out daily, with sluices,
from forty to one hundred and five dol
lars, the latter being the largest amount
vet taken Main and Smith have had
but little experience in mining. Tucker
claims to have worked the tailings OF
their sluices and panned out five dol
lars which they had allowed to escape.
Pete had to take fuckers word for this
story All the Fort Benton people who
have thus far paid the mines visit have
been fortunate in securing good claims.
Nolan arrived at the camp the day be-
fore Macdonald left with a load OF lum-
ber for sluices.
The latest stampede i'll that section
was to Peoples creek where good pros
poets have been found. Mr.. Macdonald
like all the others who have returned IS
enthusiastic over the camp and is of
opinion that it will develop still greater
richness. He will return in few days
prepared to stay.
H. C. Foster, R. Osman, John j.
Murphy and Martin Sheridan left yes
terday for the Little Rockies.
Chandler Potter, of Denver, left yes
terday for the mines. He has been sent
down from Helena to report, and says
that five hundred men will pass through
here shortly if his reports are favorable.

She chose Frank and the father ordered
