OKEEN1IOKN .MOUNTAIN MINES. Greenhorn, CI rant Co., Jan. 27. Kditoh Nkws: I have been wait ing for ionic one more competent than myself to remind you of our scattered community on tho Mini mil of these mountains. No one having made a move, and although my lingers being more familiar and more expert with tho shovel than they are with n encil, I will ven ture to send you a few lines in hopes that they may wake up some of my neighbors who nro better qualified than your humble servant. This ns n silver producing coun try is bound to coma out. Let me bo remembered as saying so two or three years hence, for I am proud of josing ns a true prophet. Last winter these whole moun tains were held down by the full number of two old "still's." This winter this number has been aug mented by ten or eleven other st excuse me, I mean miners, mak ing n total of thirteen, and each and every one of them is more than sat isfied with the risult of his hiberna tion in tho Groenhorii Mountains. The "Anaconda" is the most wes terly claim that is receiving atten tion this winter. It is rich in black sulphurr ts and chloride, of fair size, and is one of our promising mines. Next is tho "Morris" claim. Kv erybody knows what that is; devel opment work docs not niuko that grow poorer. On the contrary; ev ery day's work put on it proves what it promises on tlio surface one of tho coming silvur mines of Oregon. Next in order comes Messrs. Per kins and Hurch I do not know tho names of their claims, and must sjiesk of them jwrsonully. Thuy are going to commence operations on a very Haltering prospect "next weuk." Next comes thu "Intrinsic," own ed by Portland purtios. It is said to be a veritable bonanza. The ge nial superintendent of "this works" keeps a largu padlock on thu door of his tunnel. Your correspondent had not been able to see for himself, but there is no doubt in my mind that this sumo superintendent will, ns u result of his stay in the (! recti horn, ut no distant time live in "cas tles and mansions" and bo a wel come associuto with thu "Four Hun dred" if Kobinsonvill and Granito. North of tho Intrinsic comes tho "Polar Star," the "Cayuso" and "St. Louis," which are being worked this winter. These are all promising cluinis. The parties working the "Cayusu-1 intend shipping their oro to Denver next summer and thereby lifting this country out of the rut which some ieoplo think it has fal len into. This embraces evorylody on thu mountain. Down at itohiosonvillu General Dillin with one hired hand is driv ing a tunnel to the famous "I'd" ledgu. The General intends "sink ing a raise" to tho surfuco when he strikes his ledge, so thnt his laborer will havo good and wholesome air to breatho. It is generally conced ed that thu " ID" is a gold iniiio and when thu Gunurul gets it ooncd in good shape thu mint at San Fran cisco will be kept busy coining twen ties from the bullion of that mine. Your corresjHMident took u trip to Granito not long since, with the view of reeu)eratiiig Iub wastud en ergies at the excuse of tho City Hotel for a week or two, but the landlord politely insinuated that hu did not keep books, and promises to pay were way below par. My long ing for good "grub" being thus squashed I had to strike out for homo and bacon and beans thu next morning. Thu landlord unwitting ly did me a great kindness, and I havo boon congratulating myself at my escape over since. There is a fearful malady extant at Granite, confined principally to bachelors, and when it gets a grip on them, Oh, My! How they writhe. Ono of our nuinbur hrs got it bad, and to sec. him with his aflliction makes mo shudder to think how near thu vergu I stood. I havu heard of another young man who was so overcome with this dreadful pluguu that his strength forsook him on his way back and he was compelled to camp all night in thu snow and get hoinu lute thu following day. No more Granite for mo. Until lust Sunday thu weather has been most glorious, but sincu thou the snow has comu ouring down in regular old-fashioned stylu and thu plucor miners may yet hu happy. Tho lowest the thermometer has registered hero this winter is tun de grees ubove zero; at Grunitu twenty below. Who wouldn't havu a fat mine in the Greenhorn Mtsl Auowvnn:, MR. HELLMAN'S REPLY.

If ho did he will find ho was mistaken. All this was said "editorially." I had some acquaintance with Mr. Patter son, true not of a very long stand ing, but for tho short time our rela tions were quite friendly and pleas ant, and I could not"iinagino an motive that should havo prompted him for thus to use my name to in jure me. I naturally came to the conclusion he had been ini)Osed up on by some designing, despicable, professional liar, though it does not speak very highly for his the edi tor's discernment and penetration to allow himself to bo used to write such stuff which bears the stamp of falsehood on its very face. Taking him to bo a gentleman , Alasl There is where I mode thu j greatest mistake and not wishing j nny newspaper controversy 1 wrote to him privately, a true copy of which 1 herewith sub- ! join and which t-pouks for itself.
