Tub Ballot. Lizzie Reed bas started
paper in Iowa which advocates the right of
women to vote. We think that wbite women
have a better right to vote than negroes, and
if there is to be any increase of the franchise
principle, we go for the wbite women.
Quartz im tbb Ccsur o'Alinb Mountains.
Tbe quartz discoveries on the Cosur d'Alene
River are attracting increased attention. No
gold is visible in tbe rock, bat wbrn crushed
it yields largely of Sour gold." The Mam-
moth Lode is the favorite assaying as mucb
as $1,100 a ton. The Coour d'Alene and
Blazing Star lodes are also highly valued
In all, some six or eight have been located.

Lake.
MoOorhigk's Almanac. McCormlck's A1-"
manao for Oregon and the adjacent Terrilo
ries, for the year 1866, has been received at
this office. It contains, as usual, a large
amount of interesting matter, and much in
formation of great value to persons engaged
in business in all sections of the country
This almanac has now reached its twelfth
year of publication.
Elk Horn Mine and Mill The Elkhorn
Lode and Mill is situated on Elk Creek, about
ten miles above Idaho City. Lately, the
company which bas been working rock from
- tbe lode, with a five-stamp mill, bas been
doing an exceedingly good business. As
ranch as 350 and 400 ounces a week Is a com
mon yield, and the metal runs as high as $13
and $15 an ounee. The- Kikhorn is one of
many tlch lodes lying along the slopes of tb
mountains of Grimes', Moore's and Elk creeks,
Drowned. A telegram to the Oregonian,
, dated Ctnyonrille, November 13, says, to

fourteen miles north of this place, the baggy

Gold Duo iviuy in Montana. New placer
mines have been discovered on a tributary of
Big Blackfoot, about fifty miles above its
junction with the the Bellgate River, in tbe
dividing ridge between the Big Blackfoot and
Ilellgale rivers. Tbe exact locality may be
fixed on tbe map, by tracing a line due north
' from tbe mouth of Flint Creek, a tributary of
Heliate, towards, the Big Blackfoot half
way between tbe two livers tbe gulches are
- located, in which very rich prospects bave
.been obtained. As mucb as five dollars
pan bas bten taken out. A gentleman of
-our acquaintance, wbo is just down from
Illackfoot, assures us that the discovery is
.- not (treaded in importance by any yet made
la Montana. It will take time, however, to
male i this new district productive, as the
digjingi are pretty deep. f
THE REASON WHY.
Tne S in FrancUco Call publishes tbe fol
lowing in its issue of tbe 4tb inst:
An Idaho correspondent of one of oar co-
temporaries writes tbat a large number of
parties in tbat Territory a majority of them
obtain tbe machinery lor their quartz and
and other mills from Chicago, freighting tbein
verland. The quality of tbe machinery pro
cured in Chicago Illinois, is not so good as
that procured in San Francisco, but tbe cost
of freight from the former city is so mucb
beaper than from the latter, that it becomes
matter of great saving for the Idaho miners
to make their purchases on tbe shores of Lake
Micbicran instead of on tbe shores of tbe Paci
fic. The distance from Chicago to Idaho is
fully fifteen hundred miles: while from San
Francisco it is le s iban seven hundred. Yet
freight can be transported over iba former
ong and tedious route much cheaper than it
can be over tbe latter short one.
It is indeed true that much of the machi
nery in nre in tbe noise mines bas been
brought from the Atlantic side, and, also,
many other articles of use in the mines. Tbe
reason may be briefly stated: San Francisco
bas been endeavoring to build up tbe traffic
by tbe Cbico route (which is shown by expe
rience to be impracticable), and bas neglected
to avail herself of tbe splendid natural advan
tages of tbe route by tbe Columbia River,
There are several things connected this com
petition from the West tbat need explanation.
Freights are cheap from the Iowa and Missouri
frontiers, because the Block teed in transpor
tation is almost doubled in value as soon as
it reaches the Idaho mines. -Tbis is account
ed for by the fact tbat draft horses, cattle and
mules are very scarce in this country, and so
are cows and beef cattle. It is a fine graz
ing country, and California stock-growers
will double tbe value of their animals by
Mat bb Expected. Tbe steamer Continen
tal was to sail with tbe load of female emi
grants, about tbe 20th of October, and if she
sailed at tbat time, she may be reasonably
expected to arrive at Steilaconm In from one
hundred to 'one hundred and twenty days
after her departure, which will place the
time of their arrival somewhere between the
first of February and the close of that month
Most of these poor women are recommended
to tbe good offices of tbe people of this coun
try, by the fact tbat their natural protectors
have fallen in tbe civil war, and by far tbe
larger portion, by the fact tbat they possess
the intelligence and virtue to make themselves
useful, and In many cases, ornamental mem
bers of society. It would be indeed strange,
if all of them were irreproachable, but we
hear from many sources tbe evidences tbat
every precaution bas been taken to prevent
tbe intrusion of any person of improper char-
