A letter from tho North John Day minee to the Dulies Aluuntaineer, of July Loéth, says: Burnt river snd Olive creek draw their head waters from the same mountain chain—the first flowing to the eust into Suuke river; the latter being the John Day. All ubvut the heads of these streoms are rich and very extensive gold washings, ag yet but partially developed. On Greenhorn gulch, an uffluent ol Burot river, the depth is trom six to -filteen feet, and on Ruse and Quartz guiches, which empty into Olive creek, it varies Irom ten to fitty teet. Prospects are obtuined from top to bottom, and seventy-five cents tu the pan has been found thirty leet Irom the bed rock on Quartz gulch. ‘There aro ubout one hundred and lilty miners on the head woters of Burnt river ; aud twice as many moreon Olive creek and its gulehes. Granite creek has about one hundred and twenty-fve operative miners. There are two or three sinall compsnies working-on Clear creek, below the mouth of Bull's Run. Olive creek diggings ore fully ae good as those in the Buise Basin, aod even more extensive. ‘The chance tu get bold of guod grouud is incomparally better. A reliable gentleman who has just returned from the Middle Fork mines, expresses the opiniun that with unotber season these nines will give employment to from two or three thoasaid men. The fact, is established, thuta goud mining district has beendiscovered. ‘lhe placer diggings ure extensive. Mune Colambia river was rtpidly rising for the third time this season. IDAHO, ~ The World of June 30th, says the emigration from the Buise Basin to Montana is aguin on the increase, the giving out of the water in some localities having set the miners free to fo prospectiug.” It speaks of the folly of thus leaving a “good camp” for an ancertainty, and quotes Irom the letter of an Idaho miuer tu Elk City: ** Miners who intend coming up here to work for wages, will do better to try Placerville, Pioneer City, !daho City, or alt of these places first, and if they caa get from foar to five dollars per day, they had hetter etay and work ia preforence to traveling over a hurd road all snimmer, oud ranning the risk of getting no employment at ull.

Same paper hes seen a specimen of ore from the Sonora ledge, Altura county. Lt contains several Bukes of pure gold, as thick as common window-glass, two inches long by one inch wide. We quote: ' There is only one sean ul this pure stuff. Vhe ledge 13 said to be well defined und seven feet wide, and all the ora worth $60 per tun. Weulso were shown some specimens of silver ore Irom the Athiula ledge, in the same district It looks very rich and is Irvin a big vein. Col. Preston is owner in each of the ubuve ledges. WIONTANA. In White’s gulch, a short time since, at No. 2, below Discovery, Jyho Bristel cleaned up from a ran of ten hours, with foar hands $1,265. .A 2t-stump mill is to be erected by John Rogers iu Fretich guleh.Miner’s wages in Alder gulch are still $6 per day .'here was a rush for the oew diggings ut [armony gulch a few days agu.The Missouri is vary high. Pazsengers and freight continue to.urrive at Fort Benton. ‘The inorket will be glutted with guods of ull kinds, and those who cin bay to hold till spring, will undoubtedly coia imouvy. COLORADO. From the Jourud of June 26th we clip the, following items: A lot of Rochdale ore is tu be tested at Keith's. If satislactory, the com: pany will pat upa Keith furnace and go to work.. The Bertola mills are soon to be sturted.Soine parties are sinking a shaft on a new lode iu the lower edge of town, called Vaudervilt. At thirty five feet in depth they have a crevice nbout three leet wide, eight) inches of which is luir-looking ore, assaying’ richly in silver and gold.’The Consolilated Gregory twine is being got into shape now with rapidity. ‘lhe main shaft is now finished to a depth of 260 feet. ‘Ihe levels have been sturted, one of which is in seveaty feet. Considerable ore is being takea out. . lhe Osceola mill ia 10 be started aaew on rock lroin the Qniney lode.A qnarter of a pound of ore trom the Belnont produced forty-eight cente worth of silver, over a blucksmith's lorge. Experiments with Prof. Wertz’s sodium amalgam are making here, and the indications are that its use will be found highly advanotagcous. We are told that the yield nf the Nerragansett inill was increased in its last week’e ran by its use niore than thirty per cent..A wagon load of ore trom the Texas lude produced 23% pennyweights of gold.Mr. Du Buis has his uew inill all enclosed, the furnace finished, and the slack more than hall finished. At the Keith mill they are agaia heating up. The B. H. company have begun to excavate ubove their new mill fora Keith Furosce addition. ‘The furnace of the Hope company is running steadily, and we believe giving satisfaction. . Plummer’s mill will be started ns snoa as the boiler arrives.The Chicugo company are settiug up ove of Fuller’s lead mactines. The South Park Mi ing and Exploring com pany has purchased 2,000 feet on the De Murcy tude, and raised a lund fora working capital. They will gto work at once. Kditorial of same puper says: We do not think there is a prospect of more stemp mills starting. It is sow known that they nre warse than nothing, because they save so little of the value of the-ores while rapidly exhausting the mines. We tnust depend on some other process. * * ‘The Sierra Madre works, which coutemplate the smelting of the gold, silver, ami copper isto a mat, will ere lung be in operation. ‘The Ford Mining company is rapidly completing stielting works on the same plia as Lyon's, we believe, only of smaller capacity. Hach of these has a different machine tor cutting ores, of-which, from what we have seen, we are inclined to give tho preference to Collom's, adopted by Mr. Ford. The Clark-Gardoer company is also erecting smelting works after the Lyon pattern. Furnaces are being erected by at least three companies in the Georgetown and Snake River silver mines. Lxperiments are making is Nevada by Beverly & Cuutpany, and we think the King compauy is looking in the same direction. Iv is possible that both of these latter ure now building works, Atl af these it is our belief will he worked ta profit when once thorenghly going, especially if provisiuns and everything lal in price a3 seems probable, nay, certain. The Consolidated Gregury, the Corydon, the Benton and the Sisty, can still puy expenses, und will not stop their mills. Betrer taax a Goup Mixx.—Out back of the Mission Dolores in this city, and just above the Jewish cemeteries, is an isoluted hill which 13 cumposed of solt red rock, the muterial most used in macuduniizing the streets of Sun Francisco. ‘Vhis hill is being cut dawea for the ucalerial, ond yields its owner $400 per nionth Npou a contract with 2 second party. who, in larn, nukes $75 per day troin it, petting fifty Cents u load for every curt-lond huuled awuy. There is enongh of muteriol left in the hill to last lor yeers yet. How to Meut Stern with aN ORDINARY Fiar.— First heat a piece of steel red-hot, io the firo; then tuke it up with a patr of pincers, and in the nther hond hold a stick of sulphur, which yon apply to the steel. As soon a3 they tuuch each other, tbe steel will flow as il it were n liquid. ! Trades and Manufactures. WH.

Kditorial of same puper says: We do not think there is a prospect of more stemp mills starting. It is sow known that they nre warse than nothing, because they save so little of the value of the-ores while rapidly exhausting the mines. We tnust depend on some other process. * * ‘The Sierra Madre works, which coutemplate the smelting of the gold, silver, ami copper isto a mat, will ere lung be in operation. ‘The Ford Mining company is rapidly completing stielting works on the same plia as Lyon's, we believe, only of smaller capacity. Hach of these has a different machine tor cutting ores, of-which, from what we have seen, we are inclined to give tho preference to Collom's, adopted by Mr. Ford. The Clark-Gardoer company is also erecting smelting works after the Lyon pattern. Furnaces are being erected by at least three companies in the Georgetown and Snake River silver mines. Lxperiments are making is Nevada by Beverly & Cuutpany, and we think the King compauy is looking in the same direction. Iv is possible that both of these latter ure now building works, Atl af these it is our belief will he worked ta profit when once thorenghly going, especially if provisiuns and everything lal in price a3 seems probable, nay, certain. The Consolidated Gregury, the Corydon, the Benton and the Sisty, can still puy expenses, und will not stop their mills.
