From the Jacksonville Sentinel we
gather the following Items of Interest,
wun regard to the recent discoveries
of quartxin that region. The '"Yank"
or Mammoth ledge seems to be excit
ing the largest shurse Of attention, and
old mining expert who have carefully
examined It, pronounce It the largest
ledge or silver and gold bearing qnnrU
yet discovered in the world. As yet
little ele tliau the crannlnc havo
been tested, and the assay, according
to position, shows from a trifle to $500
per ton. Surveyors have chained the
ledge where it proved to be 210 feet in
width, and at no place has it been
found to be les than 100 feet on the
cropping. The editor of the SentinH
has seen ore taken from one of the
veins five feet In width, which was
ahnot pure silver. The croonincrs
show numerous veins of rich ore runn
ing all through it. from one to ten
feet in width, and It Is believed, judg
ing from experience In other mines.
that these veins unite and form one
compact body of rich ore at a certain
depth. So confident are claim-owners
of the value of the ledge, that they
have already ordered mills, two being
now on the way. and others will be
forwarded as soon as the roads from
the south can be traveled with heavily
loaded wagons. Reynolds St Co. have
a 40-stamp mill, and a California Com
pany have a 50-tamp tnlji, both on
the. way.. As now prospected, there
is room enough on the "Yank" tor
tbe employment of one hundred mills
and ten thousand men. Wood-rand
water are abundant, and good roads
will soon be completed leading Into
the mines. About litteen miles of
this ledge 1ms been claimed. There
are as 3et few accommodations on
Giilice Creek for man or beast, but
boarding houses and livery stables will
be in full blast within a couple of
months. Rich discoveries of silver
ore and cinnabar are reported on
Louse. Cayote and Grave creeks, and
doubtless others will be made as soon
as tlie snow, which fell during the late
cold snap, disappears. Despite the
snow, prospectors were busy, and tbe
ushering in of pleasant weather will
doubtless witness a thorough prospect
ing of the whole county.
The Indian troubles in Nevada in
crease, and settlers are fleeing to PI

last fifteen whites have been killed by
Indians within ten miles of Hiko, as
the Indians themselves claim. Tbe
citizens of Hiko have appealed to Pl-
ouhe for men and arms to aid in de
fending them from the attacks of the
savages. Added to tlie Indian alarm.
several days ago a water spout burst
near Pioche, flooding tbe canyon and

The Boise City Statesman says that
the time ,ot the Idaho Legislature is
principally taken up In tbe considera
tion and passing of divorce bills, to
tlie exclusion of all other business.
The Speaker, on a recent occasion;
left his chair, declaring the divorce
business a nuisance, and that he
would not vote for another bill of that
sort. A scene of great confusion en
sued, some members cliargtng that
others traded their votes in order to
get favorite divorce bills through, and
tlie .Legislature had to - adjourn in
order to prevent a general muss. A
sad state of affairs, truly.
. What next? lu tbe Cincinnati Com
mercial's report of a convention of den
tists lately held, it is stated that dur

where a lady's tongue, out of whose
mouth be had extracted, fifteen teeth,
became stiffened, and finally so loose
that In a fit of coughing it was sud
denly thrown from her mouth entirely.
Notwithstanding this fact the woman
retained her special sense of taste, and
also the power of speech so that she
could be easily understood.

Thomas Gerrand hangs to-day, at

would simply be carrying out .tlie
views and wUhes of at least two-thirds
of the people of Oregon.
The appeals for mercv in the case
of Gerrand have been so stronz. and
coming from so many sources fin
ishing with a strong appeal signed by
tlie Judges ot tbe Supreme Court, that

Under date of Saturday, the 22d
inst., the Oregon Steam Navigation
Company furnished the following
dispatches. The dispatches are sent
from Walla Walla: We have been
furnished with some of tiie particu
lars of a most terrible calamity which
has resulted in tlie death of a woman
and two of her children. It seems
that a man named Tate, living about
eleven miles in an easterly direction
Irorn tms city, between Ury creek and
Blue creek, left his bouse on Thursday
morning to assist a neighbor with
some stock, leaving his wife and three
children, aged respectively seven - and
five, and a baby, when he returned in
the evening be found his house leveled
to the ground and buried tinder the
snow, a snow slide having occurred
probably soon after the husband and
father's departure, carrying every
thing before it. Search was made
and the dead bodies ot his wife and two
children were found In the stable.
while the babv, who had been In bed
at the time of the- catastrophe, was
found still snugly covered up In the
bed and buriedin the ruins asleep and
unharmed. From the tracks found.
it seems that the wliole family had
been buried up, and that the mother
had first extricated hetxelt and then
rescued her two oldestchildren from
the ruins of the liouae Whether they
were dead or only Injured, is not
known: but the mother carried them
to the stable, which was unharmed,
and had lain them dowu side by
side. She then attempted to go to a
neighbor's, probably tor help, but the
snow being very deep, she had found
It Impossible to go, and had returned
ami laid herself down, beside her -.two
cmuiren, woe re sne. was louiia,. aa
above stated, ail three of them being
dead. It is not exactly known, ' but is
probably the case, tliat she was more
or less Injured by the snow slide, and
that her exertions in rescuing her
children and in attempting to goto
the neigtinor s. joined in causing ner
death. Tliese are the outlines of the
affair as detailed by a neighbor efthe
unfortunate family, and is one ol. the
most heartrending casualties that we
have ever been called upon to chronicle.
The illfated house was situated at the
foot ota high anil steep hill and the
snow was drifted to a great deptli. but
as such accidents are of very rare
occurence here, no one ever dreamed
ot danger therefrom that source.
From all directions we liear of more
or less loss of stock. ' In some Instances
owners made little or no provision for
their stock, trusting to luck and the
chances for an open winter to carry
them through. In most cases, how
ever, there is plenty of feed, but there
are a great many whose stock had
strayed away and tliey have been un
able to find them and get them home
since the storm. Those stray cattle
are generally the ones that suffer most
ami are dying off the fastest. We also
hear of quite a heavy loss among
sheep, but the ones that die are gen
erally either old ones or those tnat
liave been brought into the country
from abroad and have not yet become
acclimated. In the aggregate the loss
of stock Is likely to be considerable,
and especially so If we are to liave
much more bad weather between this
time and the opening of spring.
The family of Mr. dimming, liv
ing on the Wallnla road below tlie

In some manner or other he lumped
against the handle ot a pitchfork with
such force tnat tne nanuie passed al
most through the body, on a line with
tlie pelvis, and passed through to the
backbone. Dr. Blalock was called to
the relief of the young man and thinks
it possible that he may recover. The
shock of this accident is supposed to
have hastened the death of his morher.
who passed away shortly after its
occurrence. The accident happened
on Monday last and up to this writing
