a New rield for the prospcctor.

Rumors are continually being waited to
our ears of rich gold ,discoseries that have
been known tosxIst. By only a few, some
where IN the 4 Unity of the head of Buzzard
creek, lying to the northeast of Delta. In
1882 party Of three prospectors, with whom
we are well acquaMted, informed US that
while prospecting in'that country for placers
they found wash gold in paying quantities
along the streams, and that the wash gravel
contained large chunks OF white, gold-bear
ing quartz, and In a few instances, upon
breaking open the quartz chunks, free gold
to the naked eye was disclosed. They did
not pay any attention to the quartz leads, the
fountain head of the float. and placer gold,
as they were prospecting for rich placers
only. A few years ago, while partysof ge-
country they picked up quartz float that as
sayed from sl5.to Sl30 per ton, in gold, and
gave it as theisopinion that gold in paying
quantities existed there 1t is also rumored
that small party of prospeetors aresnow op
Grating in that country. 1t is claimed that
they made their discoveries last summer,
leaving them during the winter, and have
gone back again this spring to develop their
prospects, butwe have not learned sany thing
as yet as to the richness of their discoveries.
We are confident, from the authenticated re-
ports that reach US that this a good field for
the prospector, and we would likeEto see it

To our ranchmen, who are becoming pos
sessed of the idea that the crops of grain
raised in this county this season will far ex-
ceed the demand they should take the fact
into consideration that the same cry was
made last year and notwithstanding grain has
for months past and is now being shipped in
to us from the outside for our consumption,
and the shipments from the lst Of June of
last year up TO the present date will nearly
equal the amount of grain raised in the
county last sedscn. When We look at this
from a business standpoint, it is ridiculous
and outrageous III the extreme. Our farm.
ers, or the majority Of them, dispose Of their
grain Immediately after harvesting, while
the markets are glutted, aG, consequently
receive a low price for it. and before six
months have passed they commence buying
il back again atdouble the amount they sold
it for. No wonder we hear complaints Of
farming don't pay"
