a at v uauersignea, none or mem mi
ners, nor in any way directly interested
in mining, but now here for the express
purpose of ascertaining and setter t forth
tnc trctb with regard to a subject of deep
and general interest, as to which the wi
dest and wildest diversity of assertion and
opinion is known to exist, unite in the
following statement:
We have this day personally visited
nearly all the mines already opened in
this valley (that of a little stream run
ning into Clear Creek at this point ;) have
witnessed tne operation of digging, trans
porting and, washing the vein-stone, (a
partialljr decomposed or rotten quartz,
running in regular veins from south-west
to north-east, between shattered walls o:
an impure granite,) have seen the frold
piaimy vissioie in nearly every sluice, and
in nearly every pan of tne rotton quartz
wasnea in our presence ; have seen gold
but rarely, visible to the naked eye, in
pieces of tne quartz not yet fully dismte
grated, and have obtained from the few
who , have already sluices in operation
accounts ot their several products, as fol
lows: .
Zeigler, Spain&Co., from South Bend
Ind., have run a sluice, with some inter
ruptions, for the last three weeks ; they
are four in number, with one hired man.
They have taken out a little over three
thousand pennyweights of gold, estimat
ed by them as worth $3,000 : their first
day's work produced $21, their highest
was S495.
Sopris, Henderson & Co., from Farm-
mgton, Indiana, have run their sluices
six days in all, with four men one man
to dig, one to carry, and two to wash :
four days last week produced $607 ; Mon
day of this week, $280 : no further re
ported. They have just put into opera
tion a second sluice, which began to run
this morning.
Foot & Simmons, from Chicago ; one
sluice, run. four days; two former days
produced $40; two latter, promised us but
not received.
Defrees & Co., from South Bend, Ind.,
have run a small sluice eight davs with
the following results : first day $66; sec
ond day, $S0; third day, $95; fourth day
$305. The following days were prom
ised us, but by accident failed to be re
ceived. They have just sold half their
claim for $2,500. A full claim is 50 feet
by 100.
bhears & Go., from Ft. Calhoun, Ne
aska, have run one sluice. The first
day produced $30, second day $343, the
thira aay, to-aay, $oiu ; an taken from
within three feet of the surface ; vein a
foot wide on the surface, widened to near
eighteen inches at a depth of about three
feet.
Brown & Co., from DeKalb county
Ind., have been one week on their claim ;
carry their dirt half a mile ; have work
ed their sluice a day and a half ; produced
fr-iOU ; have taken out specimens contain
ing from Oil cents to $13. Vein from 8
to 10 feet wide.
Casto, Kendall & Co., from Butler Co
Icwa, reached Denver, March 25th, and
drove the first wagon to these diggings;
have been here five weeks; worked first on
a claim in which they run a sluice, but one
day ; produced $225 : sold their claim for
$2,500 ; are now working a claim an the
Hunter lead ; have only bluiced one
(this) day ; three men employed, produc
ed
Bates & Co., one sluice, ran half a day
produced $135.
Coleman, King & Co., one sluice,' run
half a day, produced $74.
Shorts & Collier, boughttmt claims sev
en days since of Caste, Kendall & Co.,
for $2,500 ; $500 down, and the balance
as fast as can be taken out ; have not yet
got sluices into operation. Mr. Dean, of
Iowa, on , the 6th instant washed from a
single pan of dirt taken from the claim,
$1730, have been offered $10,000 for
their claim.
S. G. Jones & Co., from Eastern Kan
sas, have run sluices two days, with three
men; "yield $225 per day; think quartz in
this vicinity generally is gold bearing ;
have never seen a piece crushed that did
not yield gold.
-A. P. Wright & Co., from Elkhart co.,
Ind., sluice but just in operation ; have
not yet ascertained its products; our
claim prospects from 25 cents to one dol
lar and twenty-five cents to the pan.
John H. Gregory, from Gordon coun
ty, Georgia, left home last season en route
for Frazier river, was detained by a suc
cession of accidents at Fort Laramie, and
wintered there ; meanwhile, heard of the
discoveries of gold on the South Platte,
and started on a prospecting tour on the
eastern slope of the Jlocky Mountains,
early in January; prospected in almost
every valley, from the Cache la Poudre
Creek, to Pike's Peak, tracing many of
. . . .i i
tne streams to ineir sources: eanv in
May arrived On Clear Creek, at the foot
of the mountains, 30 miles southeast of
this place ; there fell in with the Defrees
& Ziegler companies from Indiana, and
Wm. Pfonts, of Missouri ; we all started
up Clear Creek, prospecting. Arrived at
this vicinity on the sixth of May. The
ice and snow prevented us from prospect-
to
ingfar below the surface, but the first pan
cfsurface dirt on the . original Gregory
claim yielded four dollars.' Encouraged
by this success, we all stake! out claims,
found the 'lead' consisting of burnt quzrtz
resembling the Georgia m:nes, in which
I had previovsly worked. now and ice.
prevented the regular working of the
lead till May 'the 16th, from then until
the 23d, I worked five dajs ' with two
hands. Result $9S2. Soon after Isold
my two claims for twenfy-bne thousand
dollars. The parties bufing to pay me
after deducting their 'ejpecses, all they
take from the claims, t6 the amount of
five hundred dollars per r csk, until the
whole is paid; Since that time I lave
been prospecting for other parties at two
hundred dollars per day. ; Have struck a
lead on the other side of the valley from
which I washed out fourteen dollars from
a single pan.
Some forty or fifty slices Commenced
are not vzi in oDeration : hut tne owners
inform us that their "Drospecting" show
from ten cents to five dollars to the pan
As the leads are all found on the hills
manv of the miners are constructing
trenches to carrry water to them, instead
of building their sluices in the ravines
and carrying the dirt thither in wagons
and Knr.ks. Manv uersons who have
come here without provisions or money.
are compelled to work as common labor
ers at from one to three dollars per day
and board, until they can procure means
of sustenance for the time necessary
prospecting, building sluices, etc. Oth
ers. not finding gold the third day, or
disliking the work necessary to obtaining
it, leave the mines in disgust, after a very
short trial, declaring there is no gold in
paying quantities here. It should be
remembered that .the discoveries, made
thus.far, are the result ol but five weeks
labor.
In nearly every instance, the gold is
estimated by the miners as worth $20 per
ounce, which for gold collected oy quick
silver, is certainly a high valuation, tho
this is undoubtedly of very great purity
The reader can reduce the estimate if he
sees fit. We have no data on which to
act in the premises.
The wall rock is generally shattered

out with" the pick and shovel. In a single
riktaneft onlv did we ' hear of wall rock
too hard for this.
Of the vein-stone, probably not more
than one-half is so decomposed that the
run Via washed from it. The resi-
due of the quartz is shoveled out oi
sluices, and reserved to be crushed and
cashed hereafter. The miners estimate
thfa'erWllv rich with that which has 'rot
ted' so that the gold may be washed front
it : hence, that they realize, as yet, du
half the gold dug by them. This seems
probable, but the truth or it remains
be tested.
It should be born in mind that, while
the miners here now labor under many
disadvantages, which must disappear with
the rrmwth of their experience and the
improvements of their now rude machine
rv: thev at the same time enjoy advanta
ges which cannot be retained indefinitely,
nor rendered universal. iney are an
working near a small mountain stream,
which affords them an excellent supply of
water for washing at a very cheap rate ;
and. though such streams are very com-
raon here, the '.leads stretch over, ruggeu

water, at a serious cost, it uoes nut
seem probable that the thousands ot claims
already made or being made on tnese
leads can be worked so profitable in the
average as those already in operation
We hear already of many who have work
ed their claims for days without having
"raised the color r" as the phrase is
that is without having found any gold
whatever. We presume thousands are
destined to encounter lasting and utter
disappointment, auartz veins which bear
fr... : . , .,
no gold being a prominent feature or me
geology of all this region.
Wp cannot conclude tin 3 statement wnn-
.1
out protesting most earnestly against
renewal of the infatuation which impel!
ed thousands to rush to this region a month
i . . i 1. t c
or two since, omv to turn cacic ueiure
reaching it, or to hurry away immediate
ly after, more hastily than they came
Gold mining is a business which eminent
ly requires of its votaries capital,- expert
ence, energy, and in which the high
est qualities do not always command sue
cess, ihere may be hundreds ot ravines
in these mountains, as rich with gold as
that in which we write, and there prob
ably are many ; but, up to this hour, we
do not know that any such have been dis
covered. There are said to be five thou
sand people already in this ravine, and
hundreds more pouring into it daily.
Thousands more have been passed by us
on our rapid journey to this place, or
heard of as on their way hither by oth-
er routes. For all these, nearly every
pound of provisions and supplies of -every
iind must be hauled by teams from the
Missouri River, some 700 miles distant,
over roads which are mere trails, cross
ing countless unbridged watercourses, al
ways steep-banked, and often rairy, and
at times so swolen by rains as to be utter-
y impassable by wagons. 1 art ot this
distance is a desert, yielding grass, wood
and water, only at intervals of severpl
miles, and then very stealthily. To at
tempt t cross this desert without food is
madness suicide murder. To cross
with teams in midsdmmer, when the wai
ter-courses are mainly dry, and the grass
eaten up, is possible only, to those who;
a
water, and where water must be carried
along to preserve life. A few months
heDce probably by the middle of Octo
ber this whole Alpine region will be
snowed under and frozen up, so far as to
put a stop to the working of sluices, if
not to mining altogether. There then,
for a period of at least six months, will
be-neither employment,- food nor shelter,
within five hundred miles for the thowy
ands pressing, hither under the delusion
that gold may be picked up hero like
pebbles onjhe sea shore, and that when
they arrive here, even though 'without
provisions or money, their fortunes are
made. Great disappointment, grat suf-Iw.-0,
j.-wviiable; few cau'escape
the latter who arrive at Denver City af
ter September.-; without ample means to'
support them in a very dear country, at
least through a bag winter. We charge
those who manage the telegraph not" to
diffuse a part of our statement without
giving substantially the whole ; and we
beg the press generally to unite with us
in warning the whole people against an
other rush to these gold mines, as ill-advised
as those of last spring a rush sure
to be followed like that by a stampede
but one far more destructive of property
and life. Kespectfuiiy,

A Prescription for Early Risin
Rev. Mr. Beecher has the following
in his last Star Paper . .
Vw a
uood healthy children that are put to
bed at night when birds and chickens re
tire, are admirable wakeners in the mor
ning. When they have slept their sleep
full, there is then no help for you. -
Wake they will, coo and frolic they will
All your hushing and humming are vain
Your, efforts to put them to sleep only
serve to waken them' up A bouncing
boy, a year old, creeping out of his crib
slyly, and pouncing on his father's .face
with chirp and chuckle, is better than any
alarm clock. A clock will soon run out
its cacophonous rattle, but a child
runs down, or ends his fun.
But we have discovered a new method
or waking eariy. rercned up upon our
green hill sloope beyond Peekskill, we
ha've found it difficult to sleep after about
four o'clock of summer mornings. For a
countless multitude of birds, in all the
trees and shrubbery, aim their notes at
us with such sweet archery that we are
pierced through and through with the sil
ver arrows of music. It is in vain that
you wrap the pillows about your ears ! It
is vain for you to reflect that you need
sleep and will not get up. Every one is
aware that an eilort of .will, sufficient to
resist the annoying or attractive sound, is
itself the end of sleep.
While we are resisting, we are waken
mg. ihus, this very morning, all the
trees about our little house were belfries,
and rang out more chimes than were ev
er heard at Cologne or Antwerp. And,
after the first recognition, we turned res
olutely to the wall determined to sleep on.
liut, "that's a robin," said our ears, and
that's a' bobolink,', 'there goes a wren,
and sparrows, larks, phoebes, cat-birds,
and many of .their cousins in the orchard
and woods, all . joined to laugh us out of
the idea of sleeping.
Now, if any one wishes to know how
to get up early, we will tell him. Go
out of the city early in the day. Seek
some tranquil place in the country where
guns are never heard, where fruit trees
and shade trees abound, and where the
shaking of the leaf or the distant crow of

Andrew Walker was complained of for
removing house offal from a saloon in
Court street. Andrew had an excuse to
offer for his defense all men when they
commit faults or crimes, are prolific with
apologies, and Andrew was not exempt
from the common lot. '
"Judge," said the defendant, "I want
to s'pose a case."
The court was willing to hear any sup
position that he might offer.
"Well, now, s'pose you owned a ho
a jolly, fat hog, and that hog should
squeal for something to eat, and you had
not got anything to give it, and you knew
that every squeal took" off half a pound
of fat, how should you feel hey ?"
His honor moved uneasily in his seat,
as though he couldn't see the point of the
argument.
"I know, how you'd feel," defendant
continued, you get swill or perish in the
attempt. That's what I have done fine
me if you will I shall have my bacon."
He was fined five dollars and costs.

The follnwing passage, says the Chris
tain Advocate, is from" one of Professor
Mitchel's -lectures, delivered at the Ac
ademy of Music, at New York city. Af
ter speaking of the uufathomable distances
which no telescope can penetrate, lying
far beyond the system in which the earth
revolves, and yet filled with independent
systems of worlds of infinite numbers, he
said : - ,
Light traverses space at the rate of a
million miles a minute, yet the light from
the neares star requires ten years to reach
the earth, and Herchel's telescope reveal
ed stars two thousand three hundred times
further distant. The great telescope of
Lord Rosse pursued, these creations of
God still deeper into space., and having
resolved the.nebulas of the Milky way in
to stars' discovered other systems of stars

the black darkness beyond. When he
beheld this ama'zing abyss when he saw
these systems scattered profusely through
put space when he reflected upon their
immense distance, their immense mag
nitude, and the countless millions of worlds
that belonged to them, it seemed as though
the wild dream of the German poet was
more than realized.
God called'man in dreams into the
vestibules of Heaven, saying : "Come up
hither, and I will show thee the glory of
my house." And to his angeh who stood
around his throne, he said: "Take him,
strip him of his robes of flesh; cleanse his
aflections ; put a new breath into his nos
trils ; but touch not his human heart the
heart that fears and hopes and trembles."

Cnltlratins the Grape Tine.
In selcting a site for a grape vine, choose
a dry sub-soil, or at least a porus one.
A heavy clay hard-pan is illy suited to the
wants of the vine. Where it must be plant
in soil of this kind, a drain must be made
romthe bottom of a wide, deep planting
hole, to carry off the water. In addition,
old bones, horns, hoofs, and a few stones.
or decaying wood may be put in' to assist
in draining. Upon this put leaf mould
rotten leaves from the woods muck, gar
den or roadside loam, and rotten manure,
well mixed together, leaving the surface
after the vine is set, a little higher than
the surraundinggfoufcd, If the land is
too level to drain, and there is no other
situation for a vine, W8 would not despair
of making a foundation on the surface,
with small stones or corse gravel andplen-

steps. It appears that Louis- IiapcJeon left
Paris for the array cf Italy on the Oth
of May. It was on that day, in 1S00,
that the elder Napoleon set oct for his
Italian campaign, which terminated so
gloriously on the field of Marengo. The
perse verence with1 which (he present Em
peror of France treads in the footsteps
of his uncle and follows him in his career,
is remarkable. The elder Napoleon ob
tained supreme power ia France by dis-
persing the representatives of the people
by military force. So did the younger.
The aniversary of the latter 'coup d'etat
is the 2d of December, the day cn which
was fought the battle of Austerlitz by
the former. The elder Napoleon was first
elected ruler cf France for ten years, and
was then chosen emperor. The younger
Napoleon passed through the same gra
dations precisely. The elder Napoleca .
first took the command of the French
troops in Italy. The younger imitates
his example. The day for "their settiog
out for the seat of war was, ia both ii
stances, the 6th of May. Napoleon I had
hi3 treaty of alliance with Russia, by
which the two powers agreed to partition
the Continent between them. Nanolenn
fill has undoubtedly formed a irrrsr '
treaty. Napoleon I first put an end to '
the French Republic. So did Napoleon
III. The family of the first Napoleca
consisted of his Empress and one child.
This inexactly the family of Napoleon
III. Napoleon I restored France to the
Catholic religion. Napoleon III restored
the Pope cf Rome to his dominion. A
brother of Napoleon I was associated
with the Empress, Maria Louisa, ia tbe
Regency, when the mperr' set out for

Napoleon I wa3 imprisoned six tear3 ia
