oimtaiitw. THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 24, 1806, MONTANA MKWS. , , From' the Post, of May '6th, we take the fol lowing : V. v ' UlNINO. NEWS.-, A letter from Prickly Pear City says r New loiles are being found here Dearly every day. Tbe GilTord loile, discovered by Messrs. Gif ford and Robinson, of Helena, is attracting a good deal of attention. It bas a sbaft sunk on it about twenty five feet In depth, and , shows a crevice of seven feet in widtb. It is a silver lode and native silver can be seen in nearly all of It. It is situated about one and a-half miles west of this place. Numbers have been trying to strike an extension, and an enterprising individual, 'noted for staking every ledge of rocks in this oounfy, baa staked, as ao extension, a quartz, boulder lying in a dry gulch, which bat evidently been washed there. The Saggitarius, which is thought to be this same lode, is also rich in silver. By an essay of Professor Eaton, wbo holds a half iuterest, it shows $900 per ton, at a depth of eighteen feet. The placer mines of Indian creek, on the Missouri, about twenty miles east of this place, Are said by those jut in from there, to be good. Big Indian, Sky-High and. others about the head of Holmes' and Dry gulch, are also yielding well. ' The large steam quartz-mill, which bas laid in. Boulder valley all winter, has just passed , through here,. en route to the famous Brown lode, near Nelson gulcb. Deer creek and the numerous side (or trib utary) gulches are being extensively pros pected, with almost uniform good results. Credible reports of big runs are constantly being received by us. We shall shortly send one of our regular correspondents to that fa vored locality, who will furnish us with a com plete digest of all the reliable news from the uew Eldorado. 0. G. Durwin, of Silver Bow City, our ener. getio agent, writes to us that Jacob Rower, of . that ilk, took from his claim, on the 30th of April, a nugget of nearly pure gold weighing $195, He aks if that will do lor Silver Bow. In our conacientio.us opinion it will, and more of the same sort would do splendidly. We know the " stuff' is there, and that the right kind of men will soon be taking It out. Mr. A. God be, who has been starring it in tbe (mining)-provinces, bas just returned from Jefferson gulcb, bringing with him, like the Jewish messengers, to Canaan, a sample of the products of the land. He showed ua a very fine, pure gold nugget, worth $'245. We are sorry to lsarn that the damage done along the line of Alder Gulcb, by tbe late floods, bas been not only very annoying,. but disastrous In a pecuniary point of view. It is not rare to be able to point out, within a. space or one hundred rods, damage to the amount of several' thousands of dollars; in ilicted by the water. At Highland, Judge rotter bas sustained considerable loss, de spite of all Mb resources and mining skill; but, above bis claim,, some men appear to have been ruined by the sudden and heavy Iresbet. Down at Junction and in Granite ' Gulch great injury bas been indicted; but tbe worst Is now over, and tbe damage is nothing lik,e as great as that met with, from tbe same cause, last year. All are busy re pairing, sluicing or preparing, according to circumstances,. A correspondent, writing from Bannack City, says: Last week, in the lower part of the canyon,-known as 11 Yank Williams' dig cingg." Messrs. Mitchell & Sully sank a pros peel bole in th gulcb, five feet square', and took out $25 in coarse gold, but) could not - olean Ibe bed-rock on account of tbe water Mineis are stampeding to thenew gulches while millions are left in this gulch undis turbed. There is not a richer gulch, of tbe same extent, in Montana, than this ; but, on account of the difficulty of keeping out tbe water, the entire gulcb. ts yet uuworked The time is, however, not far distant,, when men of means and energy will uucover these countless treasures. There are many bars yet unworked in vault s illstnct, wuictt pay trom bix to ten dollars per day, and tbeie is room still for hundreds of miners, with a prospect of doing, as well, perhaps, as In any other camp in tbe lerruory. Boise packers begin to make their appear anco in our streets, en route for the Blackfoot country. RESIGNATION. General Meagher informed us yosterday that he is about to resign bis official position in this Torritory, and to take up his quarters on his ranche, in Meagher county. A sense of duty alone keeps the General al bis. post until a uew Governor arrives in Montana. MISSOURI RIVER TRADE i We see that the Ontario laft for Montana on the 6th ult .and that D. W. Tilton and Mrs Tilton, Mrs General. Meagher, Judge Hosmer ana ramiiy ana f atuer De Smot, the noted In dim Missionary, are among the passengers Our latest accounts bv desnatuh. and' er change Inform us tUat. the greater part of ipe uoqiana neet uas passed umaba, and, as ta water is good, we may expect the arrival of the steamers in some four or five weeks v ip, tavauce oz last year's date for spring ar rivals. Preparations are being busily made, both here and at Helena, for trains to meet the packets at various points on tbe river. Three more Concord coaches, ludon -with passengers from Virginia,. Nevada, arrived in town yeBterdayV The coaches bolong to C. I. Light 4 Co., Brookwalter & Snyder, and Edmunds & Whipple. There are ten passengers, .three drivers and ten horses. : , rTHE MARKETS.
