Fort Laramie, W. T., July 26.—A detachment of troops, under command of Lieutenant Lawson, arrived here from the Black Hills yesterday. Professor Jenney is now prospecting on Rapid and Spring Creeks, and has found gold in paying quantities, and plenty of water, with sufficient fall in these creeks to use to advantage. Nuggets have been found worth over a dollar, and about six dollars' worth of dust was sent in for Mr. G. H. Collins, of Omaha, now here, who sends it to friends East. These are by all odds the richest diggings yet discovered. The estimated number of miners in the Black Hills at present is one thousand, and still they are arriving at the rate of twenty or thirty a day.
