Interesting from the Mines.
Sherman, Aug. 30, 1869.
From Mr. Mulison, who came in
from North Park yesterday, I leurn
the following: One small Land of
Taos Utes and one band of the Pl
Ute Indians, came to the miners’.
camp, and ordered them to leave j
without further notice, as they !
would not talk to them next time.
They (the Indians) claim tliat coun- :
try and don’t wapt any mining
there. It is the same old story i
about tlie whites driving off tlie;
game, <£e. At a meeting of the [
miners it was resolved to lay over all ■
claims until such time as their right ;
was determined by the committee I
who were chosen to wait upon tlie
Indian agent and Governor of Colo- :
rado. All the parties are on the j
way out now and will be here to
day. I was shown some fine speci
mens from a new gulch, just found,
which yields largely, of coarse gold,
and.has plenty of water to work it.
