ir- Ed. Post : ^ On Sunday night Maj. Al* berta, of histrionic fame, delivered a lec^ ture to a highly appreciative and delighted audience. His subject was leads, ^blow- ?g outs,'! etc. He also sang a couple of songs, Te in which he was loudly, if hot ably, assist- Q_ ed by some of the congregation, ^and alto^ gether it was a jolly; if not an instructive, ed season.
jge Monday last was representation day. t0 Dire was the confusion, and the meeting of miners convened for the occasion broke .jii up in a row^ tho President (Maj. Conner)
Bitching into the Deputy Sheriff, (John igler), though without any serious dam- 6 age on either side. The only action of any importance that was had by the meeting m_ was to adjourn tt Saturday next.
Mining progresses rather slowly here> on ^0 account of the scarcity of men, money and 3m Provi8ion8' Gf flour there is none in the )0Q market. Many miners are living on?straigbt ^qq beef and coffee,^ consequsntly they don't re? like to pitch into the work as thcugh they were living on full rations.
Silver Bow City is located on both tidet ' tQ of the 8 tr earn of that name. Tho portion of occupying the south bank of the stream je contains forty-eight finished and one hun- im- dre^* aB(* thirty-three unfinished buildings, lQ0. and that on the north side shows sixty fiii- j^ ished and twelve unfinished ttrectoret, >en -aitiD5 an aSgregate of two hundred and
five. . j ft The weather is delightful. The snow on \ the mountains is melting rapidly, and tho ? frost is nearly all out of the ground in the ,erj gulch. The lack of fall at thit placo will the Ter? detrimental to mining here, making rrj_ it very difficult to drain tho claims. on^ Claims are being offered and sold^ at Ta- ^ rious prices ^ t. e. from a mere nominal value to $2,200. The half of No; 83 wai te(j sold a day or two ago for $1,100. ag_ Central City, in German Gulch, contains n,~ some forty houses. Endowed with a ri -h rj[* streak of pay dirt, n large amount of fall, a l^ fair supply of water, and an energetic set of miners, who are very confident that thoy ask have a ^good thing,^ this gulch bids fair _m to become one of the richest and most pros^ perous mining camps in the country. Scr- I eral claims are already open and sluices this runnin8 thereon, and before ten daya the ^?aP8e there will be a great number in ope- ration. A ditch two hundred feet in length a will drain the ground to the depth of twtn- * ty-four feot; so you can see that it it not a ? summer's job to get a claim opened. It it tae thought that within a week some rich leadt the w''1' discovered, as parties are now pros- ad- pe*51*11? therefor with a fair prospect of tuc- rom ce88,
0^ Some persons arrived here from Ophir tjje last night, and report the upper part of that gulch to be very rich. Two districts have been organized, and Gov. Pollinger it Re- ^* corder in one, and Lew. Robinson in tho 'es* other. Many are on the road for that place a *^ from here to-day, and more are going to^ morrow. Reports are seven feet to bod- ^* rock; eighteen cents in the grass roots and >unt ninety-two cents on the bed-rock. jthe 1 give you the prices of staples: Flour, 8en none; beef, 18 and 22 cents; bacon, 70 Jjed cents; potatoes scarce, 35 cents; coffee, $1; *est 8Ugar, 75 cents; rice, 75 cents.
