Sullivan City, July l4.-Sullivan City is very quiet, now that all the men in the near vicinity are working. During the day one can hardly see d man in the town, and what few claims are working cannot get men enough to work the number of shifts that they wish.
 The lat high water did quite little damage on the right iork, on account ef the water rising so suddenly. On No. 1 aueIe thc mouth, which is being worked bv Moses X Jaiie, the water put them o'- 't commission for al least taken tVa} ard part ot th" dam. Their pumping kl.aL Vas covered deep with gravel and sand and was ruined. They have purchased d larger plant, and will be ready to shovel in again within the next few days. On this claim they have an extensive pay,treak, which has taken two years to locate.
 The owners of No. 9 above Hayden's discovery have located the paystreak, which they lost last year, when they had to shut down, it being too late in the fall to relocate it. They now claim to have pay enough in sight to keep them going for the next two years, as they have located the pay on the right limit nearly the whole length of tue claim, and are now taking out good money.
 Dawson X Dunkin, after putting in about $2, GOO in dead work on the Flor encs claim. have given it up for the present and moved down to No. , above Hayden's, where they claim to have d good paystreak, which was located last fall, and from which Dunkin took out iso,H slS,oo0 in few weeks.
 M'ilgrew is doing good work on No. Alder creek, and is getting into good pay, which keeps running into the hill, but he thinks he will be able to fol 'ow the main run for many feet and take out little bunch of money in the near future, as every cleanup gets better and better.
 Jack Sullivan and Capt. Hammond, on No. 3 above Hayden's, are doing we'll. They have one of the best claims so far that is being worked up here The pay is in the bedrock, and a S2C pan was taken from bedrock the other day, right where the laymen worked last year, but could not get down fal enough on account of not having a pump.
 For tNe rat week several men have been investi ating t'e best route for q ditch to hydraulic over Gold Run and Alder creeks. They realize the an ounl oi money that can be made with a ditch, and ct the present time have e.

 Robert Lyng, on No. 3, and his bro tier, R. T, Lyng, on No. 6, have each had men at work fer sometime, putting the ground m shape for i'm mediate working.
