The creek if about eight miles long, and along the entire of it Mr. Mallory js party found prospects that averaged tan cents io the pan. They pronounced these as "ounce diggings," and being; old mineis, their report may be taken as authi ratio and reliable.

Mr. Mallory says this district is by far the best jet discovered in the Hills: he was surprised whra he returned to Rapid Creek, for provisions, to learn that all ttie miners had left, and reluctantly hta party followed the soldiers out of the forbidden country. The members of this new mining district propose to remain here and at Fort Laramie, awaiting tie result ofJthe negotiations with the, Jiou I AN AnsAY.

This is probably the same case alluded to in the following from an Omaha paper: A few days ago practical miner came to the Omab a Smelting Works with a number of specimens ofqartz that he wuihed to analyzed by Mr. Balbeck, whom he hid, known in Montana. He said that the specimens were all taken by his 1 lands from the Black Hills recently.

He has been many years engage!) in mining, and was when he came to the Smelting Woi ks, perfectly con! ide it that he had mad a rich discovery. He said that he would not take cash for it. Since thun Supt. lalbeck has analyzed some of the specimens. One is worth one thousand eight hundred dollars to ithe ton.

TheFabulous Wealth of the Ancients- The moderns who are showing sue extravagant taste for art have by means reached the appreciativeness the ancients. Zeuxis grew so rich tha he refused to sell more pictures, an gave them away to cities; and Nacia: declined an offer frpm Attalus of 000 for a single picture. Apelles re ceived for a portrait of Alexan der, and gave for each pictur Protegens had in his studio.

Juliu Caesar gave for two picture of single figures, one Ajax and tb other Medea; and M. Agrippa paid the municipality of Oyzicus for two more. Lucius Mummius refusec for picture of Bac chus," which he bad seized in Greece and Tiberius gave sestertia or nearly half a millon, for a pictur by Parrhasius, Cicero argued that Verres bad compelled Heius. a rich Sicil ian. to part with a little bronze Cupid by Praxiteles because Verros bought it for only and Nicomsdes offered to pay off the public debt of Cnidus-- "quod erat ingens," says Pliny--if the citizens would give him Praxiteles' statue of Venus in return, and was refused because it waa the glory of the city.

One of oorj prominent merchants was informed a day or two since, when he went homa tea, that there was mouse in the 1 sitting-room; it had run in therb during the afternoon and they had shut thej door to keep it in until some one came to catch it. "Well, why didn't you cjtch it?" said the gentleman to his Wife as he started for the sittmg.roomj banging the door pretty sharply behind him. The ladies--there were two or (three callers present--waited in breathjless silence and were soon startled by aj yell that sent the lady of the house into a swoon andoneoftha callers to the rescue. Opening the door, there was thjj gentleman with his pants half off, bott hands grasping tho antipodes of the small of his back and he executing a Mo loc war dance in the middle pf the room.

The lady said- "WhaJ is it?" Thej gentleman said, "Yon clear out and send my wife!" as cold water and camphor had revived her, the lady of the house went in and quiet was sodn restored. Inquiry elicited the fact that widen the gentleman discovered up the leg ofjhis pantaloons and got in such a position that he could not be shook out and fearing he would bite aa well as scratch he seized him with both hands and tlen found it impossible to get his panls off alone. When the mouse was'flrj ally removed his wife quietly remarkejd, "You see now why I didn't catch it?" The gentleman said ho did. PERSONAL. Dr.

Bonnaffpn, of Philadelphia, spent a few days in Bismarck last week looking after the Upper Missouri river tradership. H. S. Parkins, who bm charge of their store at Standing Rock met him here. His son was expected to but did not and BO on his arrival proceeded to St.

Paul. Daniel Leasure, who has spent the summer on the Northern Pacific and Upper Missouri hunting and fishing, left for his home in Allegheny City, yesterday. The General seems to have enjoyed his visit to the Northwest immensely and returns rested, and ben- efitted, physically and otherwise. Miss Edith remains for the present Gen. Merrit, of Sheridan's staff, and Ool.

Tom Ouster, Col. W. W. Cook and Lieut. Edgorly, of the 7th Cavalry, left for St.

Paul Tuesday. The three latter go on short leaves. Of Edgerly it is said he "goes to meet his mother-in- law," or in other words is about to get married. Edgerly deserves a liberal supply of sunshine and Sowers, and would make any sensible woman happy. Robert Wilson, son of Col.

Robert Wilson, one of Bismarck's leading and most liberal and prosperous business men, left yesterday for a course at the University of Minnesota, situated at Minneapolis. Young Wilson is sprightly under all circumstances, and through his courteous bearing has become a general favorite at Bismarck, and it affords the TBIBUHB pleasure to commend him to the faculty and students of the University, and, indeed, to all with whom he may come in contact, as a young man of sterling worth, in UIWB VI ojkuibiui, nuu laid uuuui aa jvuug uioii vi ousriiUK Wl the same given to him in I whose integrity all may confide..
