I do not know, or recollect now, the e.xact

Lute last fall, just bcfoio the snow com
menced filling uml thereh) put un end to
prospecting, liiero was quite un excitement
at Silver uud Ituby Cities in regard lo the
finding of diamonds on Sinker nml Culhu
nuocrcc!8, which form u junction before
fluttiug liito'Snuko Hiver. 'Iheso creeks
have their sources in the eastern slopes of
the Oro .Pino, War Knglb nnd Flint inoiiu
tuius. The period ol tune between the dis
covery nnd the first fall of snow was so
short that it left but little opportunity for
prospecting. Tho stones found nnd sup
posed to bo diumouds, weic o a small char
aclcr but very brllliuiit, and pronounced
by tho knowing ones to be diamotids of the
first water; however, Hieo precious look
ing stones when tested by a No. 1 Lapida
ry iiiay be declared not diamonds; yet they
have created nn excitement bufllcieiil to
put thu peoplo ol Owyhee In n ferment,
euch man calculating his wealth by bun
died of thousands, to accrue from dia
monds obluiucd in tho diamond district,
that has, jn tlo Htimntion of nmn'y, al
ready promitcd to far ou rival the dia
mond mines of Itra,11.
Would at uny tlmo bo pleased to give
