from Tuesday's Daily.
THE BOULDER.-Basin Gutlch, near
the bead of the Boulder, and twenty miles from
the Virginia road, has created considerable excite
ment recently, a stampede to it having been in
operation during the whole of last week. This
gulch was discovered by W. R. Williams and five
oompanions, and mining was coommenced on It on
the 1st inst. Its distance from here is thirty miles,
and a number have gone there from this place.
Claims have been staked for a distance of seven
miles, and between fifty and sixty men are now at
work opening their ground, and obtain prospects of
from three to ter cents to the pan. It Is from four
to nine feet to bed-rock, with from two to four
feet stripping. The pay streak, wherever its width
has been tested, is from thirty to one hundred feet
wide. Messrs. Williams & Co. are already wash
ing, and, on last Wednesday, cleaned up Slet?, th e
result of a three day's run with six men working.
The next claim below them is paying still better
The gold is of a coarse nature. One store and a
butcher shop have already been established at the
new mines. Galena gulch, between Big and Little
Boulder, and eight miles to the tight of the Vir.
ginia road, is now occupied by about three hnndred
men, and is proving good. Two men recently
cleaned up ice. for a three days run. Prospects of
from ten to twenty cents to the pan are being ob
tained- For the above information we are Indebted
to Mr. Henry A. Skeels.
JEFFERSON (a}IUCH.-Oulr friend R. II.
bates informs us that there has been quite an ex.
citemont in this gulch, caused by the discovery of
rich pay in abandoned ground on the right hand
fork of Washington Gulch: Four men proceeded
to the ground referred to, and commenced working
a claim that was abandoned last summer. On the
second day they struck pay and on the third day
found a beautiful nugget containing only a very
small piece of quartz, and weighing eighteen and
three-quarter ounces. The rcrtunate owners of
this specimen are Newell & Cc. These newly dis
covered old diggings having attracted a consider
able number of miners, a new district, called the
Mammoth District was foamed, and Andy Rule
elected recorder. Nearly all the ground has been
taken up. In six dasys Williams & Co. cleaned up
eleven hundred dollars. This one* ahandoned s.d
re-ocncpied ground is situated about two miles
from Jefferson Gulch, and strikingly illustrates the
fact that many of the mines of Montuna, that have
been declared worthless, may yet yield rich re
sults.

Marshal Featherston, who has. just returned from
Beaten, gives us some interesting items of river
news. On Monday last, the very light draft steamer
Tom Stevens, having on board about fifty passen
gers-many prominent ciuizens of Benton among
the number--started on an excursion trip to the
Falls of the Missouri. It sucoetaded in getting
farther up the river than any steamboat has eve
done before, and went up above llighwuod. and
within six miles of the Falls. Here its pdiogrees
was stsyed by rapids, and the malority of the pea
sengers went up and paid the great wonder of
Montana a visit. Arriving at the Falls, a large body
of Piegan Indians were found encamped there,
and or these many of the excursionists procured
horses, by means of which to return to the boat.
The steamer returned to Benton on Thurtday, after
a delightful trip, which, in addition to the grand
scenery it gave opportunity for viewing, furnished
abundant facilities for hunting and fishing. These
facilities were well lznprov-ed. The boat took its
excursionists the round trip for the moderate sum
of ten dollars, so that it was, at least for those stop
ping at a hotel, cheaper to travel than to remain sat
Renton.
On the second night after leaving hentiss, the
nook of the boat said that he had had a vision, and
that "8tonewall"~ Jackson had called to him, and
that he was going to go to him. He did so, taking
to the water for his trip, jumped overboard directly
after supper, and was drowned.
Mr. Featherston Informs us that a small steam.
boat is making tripe from Benton to the wreck of
the Amelia Poe, and bringing up portions of her
carg~o, and that the parties thus engaged will make
a nic littte fo'rtune from the wreek. We condense
