Bent having but a small supplyof provisions, and fearing trouble, released the prisoners. The Arapahoes and Cheyennes, who were lately at Denver, are no.v encamped around the Fort, and promise to protect Bent from the Kiowas. Some of the late parties that wont over the snowy range in seareh of gold, have returned successful. A party starts to-day for the western part of Dacotah, where an old miner is confident of finding gold. The quartz milis have not yet overeóme the difficulty of separating gold from the pulverized rock, A few claims in California Guluh are doing fiuely. A claim in Russel gulch yielded 1G ounees in one day, in the Bobtail load, - Three hundred and aixty dollars worth was taken from 21 bushels of dirt. Money quite scarce in the mines and elsewhere. Business in Denver City is extremely dull.
