An attempt was made to rob a tago coach near Dead wood, Wy oming, on tne iztu inst.. by- six urmed men. While they were go ing througli the mail Backs and passnngers, two express messengers came up, crawled within fifteen feet of the robbers and opend fire on them. One of the robbers fell dead, and the others escaped to the brush,. Southwestern Oregon. From the Holt County Press, published at Oregon, Missouri, we take the following extracts from an cuticle written for that paper by Adam Klippel. Mr. K. visited this valley last year, and having bes come favoraby impressed with our climate and resources, intends re. turning ere long to make his per manent residence in this county: The Rogue river country in Southern Oregon, extending 150 miles from the foot of the Gascades range of mountains to the Pacific Ocean, is now being extensively "prospected,-' with varying results, for the precious metals. The most recent gold and quicksilver discov eries have been made in the border counties of Jackson, Josephine and Curry. Tho mining season which com menced in October, 1877, and closed in July 1878 has been .one of un usual prosperity, especially in the so-called "placer" or gravel dig- gins, and miners generally are en joying, better times now tnan tney have for many years past. Three methods of gold mining are in vogue in Oregon, namely: Surface placer mining, hydraulic placer mining, and quartz mining. The first is a very laborious method continuing only as long as the wa ter last in the gulches during the rainy months, and where the pick and shovel play a conspicuous part. Sbcces3 in this class of mining de pends greatly upon a man's muscle and his ability of picking and.shov eling "pay dirt" into a sluice box. In Jackson and Josephine counties considerable of this kind of mining is being done. The area of surface upon which mining claims are loca ted and worked will not exceed 5,000 acres. But surface mining is rapidly giving way to the hydraulic process. What is called hydraulic mining is the turning ot a stream of water eight or twelve inches in di ameter through a nozzle under a pressufeof 8Q0 vertical feet against a bank of clay- and gravel, and washing it away. This process aci compliehes results that it would take thousand of men to perform. Six large hydraulic mining compat nies have constructed at great ex? pense ditches for carrying tho wa ter, have been at work this season and aro taking out large quantities of gold. As miners aro exceedingly rfti. ccnt about the yield of their mines, statisticiansfiud it difficult to get at the exact amouut of gold taken out. It is custom of the large hydraulic mining companies to 6end their gold dust directly to the IT. S. mint at San Frnucisco for coinage. Tho surfaceNminers however, take it to Jacksonville, and sell it to the stores. One individual, Mr. C. C. Beekman, has for himself aud the expross company, handled over ten million dollars worth of gold dust since he has gone in the business some twenty years Ho is of the opinion that at least as much has passed through other hands during that time. The average yield of gold of the district of which the town of Jacksonville is the center, heretofore has undoubtedly been from 800,000 to ono million dol lers per annum. And when tho re ally small amount of ground worked is considered an approximation of the probable future yield of gold in Southern Oregon would seem fabiv lous and incredible. Hydraulic mining is proving successful where; ever sufficient water can be obtain ed, and it seem3 as if mining in that end of the State, had only just began. Last fall and winter Messrs. Klip.; pel, Hanna & Co. of Jackson vi He, assisted by Messrs. Bellinger, Thay.. er, Hnwthorno and Kelly of Port, and, Oregon, built a ditch in the Applegate country that has a carry ing capacity of between 1200 to 1,5. 00 miners inches. The ditch is elev,. en miles and fortjvfour rods long, and receives its supply of water out ot tho two Squaw Lakes. These lakes aro situated in the Stskiyou range of mountains -and-have-an el evation above the level of tho sea of aomo 8,800 feet. The com' struction oftlio ditch, the raising of both the lakes by powerful bulki heads, (the upper lake being fonrs xteen feet and tho lower sixteen), the purchase of over a thousand feet of 22,-inch iron piping, and putting the mines which aro loca ted on tho east bank of Applegate river in Working order, necessitated an outlay of not less than 80,000 Tho lakes answer as immense natural reservoirs, are each a mile long and a half a mile wide, and furnish an abundaut supply of water and enable this company to continue their gold washing when nearly all other mines have suspend ed operations for want of water. On the first of July the company commenced washing away at its banks of gravel and claynt tho rate of one thousand cubic yards per day, continuing day and night,' with but slight intermission ver since. It Is tho intention of the company to run three months before a thor oagh "clean-up" will be made Early in August a few feet of the flume were cleaned up, which proved entirely satisfactory to every mem ber of the company, and warrant the belief that the enterprise will pay. Since tho commencement of this Squaw Lake mining enterpise, fh's attention of capitalists as well as practical miners has been drawn toward the gravel deposits upon Applegate river, and several parties aro busily engaged in developing claims upon the banks of that stream. Largo-deposits of paying gravel lino either bank of Apple gate from near its head to its mouth, and it is a source of surprise to those visiting that stream for the first time to find such inexhaus tible fields of gravel lying there entirely unprospected. A joint stock company, of which judgo "W. R. Willis, ofRoseburg. Oregon, is the head, has been formod and. incorporated with a capital of 500, 000, who propose to carry on placer mining on a gigantic scale on the "West bank of Applegater- litmus brought up all the water lights, claim and improvements of indi vidual minors in the neighborhood, this company proposes to construct a ditch of a carrying capacity of six to ten thousand inches, taking the water out of tho main Applegate near the mouth of Elliot creek, aud carrying it down the large gravel deposits lying below that point. It will-require a large outlay of mon cy in the first instance, but it is ro garled as a safe investment Iho Mountain Sentinel of the l-3th says: On Tuesday last Cant Wilson captured three hostile Ban nocks near Boise City.
