Watertown Republican

From Pike's Peak.-Messrs. Edward and Charles Gilman of this city, returned home last week from the Rocky Mountain gold diggings. They bring favorable returns as to the facilities that far off region offers for making money. The Watertown boys, of whom there is quite a delegation at Denver City and in the mines, are reported as doing well, and some of them as accumulating the "filthy lucre" faster than they can spend it. We are glad to hear of their prosperity, and hope that fortune will continue to favor them until they shall have made their 'pile.' Messrs. Gillman give rather a discouraging account of the enjoyments attending one's life there, but they are none the less agreeable than we have been led heretofore to regard them by statements from others who have been there and seen the elephant in all his different aspects. That country after all is one where there undoubtedly is as much shade as sunshine, and in which adversity quite as much as prosperity is the net result of months and months of earnest and industrious toil. We understand it is the intention of the Messrs. Gillman to return there in February.
