The New Eldorado.

An experienced miner who recently arrived at Miles City, Mont., from the Coeur d’ Alene district reports the presence of several thousand adventurous prospectors in that region waiting for the snow to disappear to commence - operations. The snow is over three feet in depth on the level ground at present, and it is not likely that all will have disappeared sooner than the middle of May,* by which time it is thought 40,C00 persons will have arrived in the neighborhood. It is the general impression, that a majority of the prospectors will be disappointed. At the same time it is thought that there aro some rich veins which will pan in tbe district.
