Rarip Ciry, D. T., March &—Tho spring s opening early in this country, and the tide of a better class of immigrants than last year, which wo did pot expect before April or May, bas al- ready sot in. Capitalists, growing interestod since the large investments made by Califor- nians, are begloning now to come fn from New York. Chicago has had her represcutatives hera for soma time, and will, soon have many more. Men of small means are coming, too} and famiiles aro coming, with a permanent loca- tion hers In view, Last ycar we had too many of the laboriog class, that sent all their carn- fogs ont of the country to families pack o the Btates; these are now bullding up homes here, and thelr carnings remain fin the Mills. Better bullding are fn process of con- struction; more paint is used, and mors oroa- mentation; flower-gardens will be planted, and homes be created, where last year were but shantles and huts. Then como schools, churches, improved society, and all the refine- ments and benefita that come with good women and sweet Jittio children,~without whom, alas! how fast men anft away to the bad! Iwrote you two or three letters last year from Deadwood, then, and stlll to an extent, the metropolfs of the ). ButI don’t know thet tho central and southern scction of this remarkable mincral region have cver been written up for your columns, and, as I belleve 1t is soon destined to approach, If not rival, in fmportance the northern belt, 1t s falr that your readers should be informed concerning it. Custer County waa really the firat inthe Hills to be decupled, and Custer City was, I believe, the first sottlement, with the first ncwspaper, and other atiractions. But the discorerics at Dead- wood n 1870 scemed to crazo everybody, and the rush thither almost depopulated the south part of the Hills, Cnmldurlnf {ts advantages in water, Deadwood Qufch was " un- douttedly tho richest placer-reglon In the ilflls, and many have made handsome for- tuncs there.})The subscquent discovery of rich cement-beds therg, and of some very good gen- uine lodes,—the ore all of such aquality asto be easily reauced,—has assurcd tha permancnce of that s2ction, and for a time will absorb the ut- teutlon of capltaland attract the bulk of the Imuleration, Yet there nre in this County of Pennington richier placerdirgings than in Law- renco County, aud I am not surs but our bods of cement may prove proporilonately richer, too, nnd as good veins of quarwz be found. The only drawback that cheapens the valus of our placer-ground Is the scarcity of wager. At aud about Rockeryllle, or in " * Capt? Jack’s Dry Digginge,” as they used to call it, are miles of guleh-eronnd from which vast amounts of carth und grave] have veen takeu, hauled to a apriug, rocked out there by hand in.an old-faghionc: rocker, and found to vield from £5 to 850 to the waron-load.

There are acres aud acres of this Rockerville ground to bo worked, and, if 2 project can de- vizod by which water can b brought to them tn sufficlent quantity, there will be fortunes made there yet. Of course the discovery of so much gold 1n the gulehes lod many to think it ifust cxist in the adjolnlog hiils, elther in quarts or cement. -Dicai “F during the past winter bas demonstrated this to be tho fact, and the pros- pucting of those who had falth bas been reward- ed by the dlacovery of rich beds of gold-bearlng cement, varylng from two and a half to seven fect in thickness: This cetnent exhibits a nice quality of gold on being tested, and a fair guan- tity, too,—averagiog fully, 1 think, $10 or §15 a ton,—perhaos more, but 1 do not want to erron the unsafc side. There are no mills ervcted yoi to extract the gold, for the simple reason that water is scarce, and men hesltate to enter tho reclon with expenstve machinery until =omeone clse has (irst gone thers and deinonstrated. pos- {tively the profit of such a venturo. Ishall not be surprised, after n start {s once made, to sce somo such rapidity of development in this re- flan o8 was witnessed in Deaawood last year, where there wero two mills fu May, and seveuty )y, December. Up Raptd Creek, about and above Pactol there aro axcellent discoveries of quarte, and theso are all trye flssure-veins, Theore Is all of a low grade, but will wuch of it pay well to mine, Silver has also been found, both with rolena ond with copper. The placer-inines of tapld Creek, both bar and gulch, arc stil main- tained to be rich, and, I think, will bo worked to profit this ycar. The great diMeulty in gulch-mining of this creck has not been sear- eity, but superabundance, of water. A number of ‘pumps was cmployed Tast year to throw out surplus water from sbalts (hat werd belue sunk to bed-rock: but g0 wnuch machinery was re- quired, so much wood consumed, and so much expcmhlum 1ncurred, that- no profit was realiz- ed, thourh very good pay wae found.
