FROM Grants P-ss, Or., June 28 Tin. ugh it has been nearU three weeks since work was begun in digging out the gold from the Sucker Creek tiud, there is yet no indication of the rich proposition "pinching" soon. A party of miners came into the Pass yesterda' from the strike, and report that since the first, stewpau of gold was taken out, seven eandleboxes have been filled with slabs of metal and fabulously rich quartz. It is now estimated that 54,000 has been taken out. . One monster piece, as large as a stick of stove wood, and containing nearly $1500, will be sent to the St. Louis Fair and placed on exhibit as a sample of what Oregon can produce in the metal line. Mr. Banks, a member of the United States Geo logical Survey, who ha? made the strike and Sucker Creek district a visit, and gave the whole a thorough examination, states that he has definitely traced the ledge 2200 feet from the point at. which it is being worked. He is confident the veiu is this long, and it may prove even longer. Some excellent prospects have been found on the adjoining claims, ami there is no doubt that uther dis coveries wi'l be made dis ov res that will rival the famous original one, ihz o:ie f mud by Accident.
