The “Gulehes” Briefly Described-- Where *Pay Dirt” is Found. Magnificent Probabilities, but Little Yet Accomplished--*Bed Rock™ Mysteriously Missing. Miners Off for the Big Horn. Correspondence of the Chicago Telegraph. Dearwoop Crry, July 12. Before enteringjupon Cetails I will will the extent of the placer deposite tributary to Deadwood City and what I can ascertain of their geolog- ical position from the most reliable data at hand. Whitewood is the principal gulch in extent, it being claimed that it has prospected ex- tent of 20 miles; and Deadwood, its principal tributary, is about six miles in length. The gen- eral course or trend is east and west, as is the case with all the other gold-bearing gulches in the vicinity. Negro guleh, from which very fine specimens of coarse gold have been taken, is 35 miles to the north of Deadwood, bemg a short tributary of Bear creek, or guich. Bear gulch, 85 miles to the north, is quite éxtensive, the gold coarse, but little ground yet opened. Sand creek, 65 miles northwest, 15 many miles in extent; specimens of coarse gold ore found, but no “regu- Iar pay streak” yet struck ; Potato and Tender-foot gulches, 25 miles to the northward, have some claims paying well, aund a nugget has been obtaiued from the former weighing nearly $1560. Box Elder, 15 miles to the southward, is very extensive, but no ground has yet been prospected which it is thought “pay.” At Rapid creck, 55 miles to the southward, the ground is very deep, and no bed-rock yet reached ; 1t prospects well, but can only be haudled by capitalists. Jim creek and Gold ruu are little tribu- tary gulches which are said to yield well, or promise well, atsome poin{s. Now all this aggregates a tremen- dous extent of placer country, and if 1 should even approximate in richness to the deposits ol some of the districts in the old mining countries, it would afford employ- ment to at least 100,000 men; but the placers here are undoubtedly “spotted.” There are no regular deposits, and the country is as yet scarcely prospected at all. White- wood and Deadwood gulches are now, and will probably continue to be, great centres of population nnd busiess. s but very few claims have as yet been opened, they will be more populous and active next year than they now are. Ten dol- lars to the pan ot dirt has been ob- tained in Whitewood gulch, and a man assures me that out of six suctessive pans wasied from a Whitewood claim, he never got a prospect with less than $5. Several claims on Deadwood are now paying from 3500 to $2,500 & day over expenses. One Deadwood claim has already yielded its own- ers a clear profit of over $100,000, and they are only getting it fairly opened.” They expect to realize a million out of it. They bought it early in the spring for $1,000; and it was offered last April for a sack of flour and forty pounds of beans. The adjowning claim pays nearly, it not quite, as well, and the number of “big paying claims” is increus- ing with every day’s developments. Some of the richest ground, though claimed, has probably yet to be opened, being held by men who are not able fo open it. But I must warn the adveuturous young reader who has “been thinking of taking & trip to the Black Hills,” to not get excited, for there certainly is ANOTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. Hundreds an{ thousands are weanly trudging over the moun- tains without making a cent, and but scantily supplied with food They curse the day they were al- lured, by glowing newspaper re. ports, from their eastern homes,and promise themselves, if they get back 1n safety, t>go on no more ‘“wild goose chases.”” These, however, as arule, are men inexperienced in mining, aud unused to hard work, and there is no haxder toil than gold mining, and who caunot, con sequently, sccure employment in competition with old, experienced mining wen. Good miners have no trouble, I believe, in gelting em- ployment at from five to six dollars a day. But comparatively few young men of the east would think of coming to the Black Hills to work for wages. The only induce- ment to make the trip is (he hope of “striking & fortune.” If they ouly had the flgures, showing how few out of the ageregate number of seekers find a fortune in gold- mining countries, this hope would soon dissolve. » CHANGES OF SUCCESS are indeed remote. But money cir- culates abundantly here, and men ot pluck and energy can scarcely fail in general business enterprises There must be a steady improve- ment in general business for some years, as we yet know but little of the extent of the mineral resources. Another season, at least, will be re- quired to even get the majority of the claims in Whitewood and Dead- wood gulches into proper working condition. The chief object of my prospect- ing tour was to study the geological formation, and deduce, it possible, some rale to be observed in- explor- ing —intending, if I found a paying claim, to make the most of it. 1 failed in finding a paying claim, but as I expected 1 should from the be- ginning, this wasnota crushing dis- appointment. But I found thi that pastexperience in goid mining goes for nothing here. I have said that there were no “‘regular” de- posits. The precious dust is hera found in what I may term irregu- lar deposits. The old * bed rock” and “wash” theory is knocked all to pieces by the practical experience of the Black Hills. There is no “bed rock” hege, and but little “wash.” The 8niginal bed-rock—if an old miner would be allowed to speculate—has been torn to atoms by some kind of a convulsion,and 1t is run through the sluice-boxes in sharp, angular fragments of siate. Neither the gold nor the rocks show the action of water to any great ex- tent. In some places Ifound coarse particles of gold on the surface, in loose gravyel, and NOT A COLOR | in the present bed-rock. There are | on the summits of some of | the highest hills which are very rich—paying well to carry the dirt down to water in gunny-sacks— while little or no pay is found in the sulch deposits below. ¢Pilgrims” £ 1d good pay In the mosi upbkely places, where an “old mner” would | no more think of looking for gold than in a ledge of limestone. The gold apparently is in secondary de- posits—that is, after having first been deposited from the quartz veins, it has again been scattered by subsequent couvulsions, and is now twhere you find it.” Finding, on my arrival, great excitement over gold-bearing quartz veius, I have given them some attention. I have examined some rich ‘‘blow- outs,” or ‘“chimneys,” some of the rock specimens being spangled all over with free gold. As the owners call these ‘“well-defined” veins, they will thauk me, probably, for not designating them by name. Some of them may lead to regular veins, but they certainly do not in themselves bear the evidence of “true fissure velns.” 1 have seen some well defined lodes here, which 1 believe to bs rich in mineral, but they show nothing to excite any body. Usually quurtz which is re- markably productive at the surface does not hold out so well as that of moderate richness. Long tunnels must be run in at practicable points —none have been so started yet, I think—and deep shafts must be sunk before capitahsts will make heavy investments In the Ida Gray district, the Lime- stone and slate join the granite for- mation, and between the two, run- ning entirely through the distriot, from the northeast to the southwest, is & great mineral vein, from five to twenty feet wide, which undoubted.- ly carriessilver as well as gold. Thus vein is traceablea great distance on the very crest of & high range, and a vast extent of plains country can be seen from 1t beyond and over the mountains. The other minerals discovered in the Black Hills, down to this time, are iron, copper, ising-glass, gyp- sum, and plumbago. The extent of the timber growth has not been ex- aggerated. This item alone would probably justify the construction of a railroad. The mountains are cov- ered with pines of majestic growth, while in some of the valleys; there are splendid groves of onk. Ash and elm also grow to a good size. The wila fruits are plums, grapes, raspberries, strawberries, service- berries, and huckleberries. Some of the canyons ace also choked with hazlenut bushes. I bave not yet visited the agricul- tural districts. The Spearfish val- ley, 15 miles west of Deadwood, is said to be fertile, and a fine grazing section. Korty er fifty FARM LOCATIONS have already been made there, and a little town estublished. I have 110 doubt general farming will prove successful here, in favorable locali- ties, as there are some flourishing gardens in Whitewood and Dead: wood gulches, high up in the moun- tans. Rams are very frequent here, ac- companied by terrific electrical phenomena. Days warm and uights cool and pleasant. Though there are no mosquitoes in the Hills, it is the most insectiferous region, in the summer season, I ever visited out- side the tropics. An expedition of 70 men set out from Deadwood City day before yesterday for the Big Horn moun- tains. They will o by way of the head of the Rosebud, where It Is said there is a flourishing little camp of mountain miners, who have struck paying diggings. This camp issaid to be ubout 125 miles northwest of Deadwood Cify. It isreported here that paying diggings have also been discovered in the Owl Creek moun- tais, one of the western tributaries of the Big Hoin. 1 henrof still an- other large expedition organizing tor the Big Horn country. Emigration continues to pour into the Hills, and the population is now estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000, T'he latest who arrived report that they had no trouble with the In- dians, aud fey Were seen by them. The warriors are all doubtless con- centrated or co-operating in harras- sing the troops in the field. But there are small straggling parties of hostiles around the Hills, beyond doubt. They made a raid on a herd of horses down near Crook City, 12 miles below here, a few days ago, and succeeded in getting away with half a dozen head.

The house’s early adjourument has not ouly prevented action on the mining committee’s silver bill, to-aay, but probably throws it over till next week, with greatly dimin- ished prospects of its passage. The special assignment of to-mor- row’s session for the consideration of the naval committee’s reports on Robeson, and the pendency of the contested election case, as untinish- ed business, togetber with the fact that to-morrow and Saturday, under the rules, are private bill days, will, L is believed, render unavailing any attempts to call up the silver bill this week On Monday, if not hed by the adoption ot Mr. Holman’s amendwent partially re- pealng the specie resumption act, it hus n chance of passage, under suspevsion of the rules, us Mr. Kel- ly’s similar bill for the revival of the old silver dollar lacked only seyeu votes out of two-thirds majority last Monday; but if it awats the morn- ing hour of Tuesday Mr. Garfield and other prominent opponents of the measure intend to try and fill buster itover until the next morn- ing hour, and 0 on until the session ends. ‘Lhey are to-day coufident they can succeed by these tactics in preventing its passage by any less thau two-thirds this session, and they believe two-thirds canuot be secured. 15¢0, July The ship Santa Clara arrived to- day from New York, reports being boarded between the Straights of Lemawse by Mr. Hour, second mate, and three men, of the British bark Southern Cross,” who were going 1 a small boat to Ushmoia Mission, a station in Beagle Channel, for as: sistance. The Southern Cross was then anchored in Gorce Roads in distress, leaking badly, and only one pump available. The captain was ill, and (he mate in charge of the boat ovtained provisions and ammunition from the Santa Clara aud proceeded on his way. The whaling bark Illinois, of this port, was run down in the Arectic ocean by the whale ship Morengo and sunk instantly. All bavds were saved except & seaman, Jacob Win chell, of Boston.

Crook Waiting for the 5th Cavalry. Crook After Them into the Mountains. New York, July 23, A Times special from Chicago says: Advices from Crook’s com- maad in camp at mouth of Tongue Wyoming, July 23d, say bis e awalting Gen. Merritt’s arrival, before commen¢idg active operations. Scouts from Terry say all are well. It is expeeted tbat “Lerry, under instrugtions, by this time, has reached the confluence of the Big Horn and Yellowstone riv- ers. Crook wants to march toward his commaud half way as the In- dians are in the mountains and battles must be fought there. The Suake allies say the Sioux are occupying the mountains where Sibley’s party struck them, and will compel (ne troops to fight them inch by inch. This will be a deadly warfare, as the Sioux kuow every foot of the ranges, of which the troops are decidedly igncrant, snd can guard every pass and ambus- rade” the soldiers at every step. With plenty of dried meat and an abundance of game they can make a prolonged resistance, Veteran officers say it would be wise (o ac- cept volunteers. A special Washington says its be- lieved at army headquarters that the forces of Crook and Gibbon are not over eighty miles apart and can be readily brought within sup- porting distance. Crook feels he 1s going o have hard fighting, but in- tends to maket decisive. 1t's said there are at least 6,000 warriors in the field under Sitting Bull. [t is feared the Sioux have recerved ac- cessions from the Sioux in British on, which might swell hos- tile force to 10,000 Sioux. If they are driven to well by troops they will_go north and take refuge in the British Possessions. Kears are entertained that Crook may be over matched. The morning papers deny that Vanderbilt’s condition is serious and say he recovering strength slowly. NEW YoRXE, Tilden ann Hendricks Wil Have Another Conference at Saratoga To-Day.
