SUSDAY MORNING. HOV. 20, 1805.
vNTttliBUBi.-'WelUFar(ro Co. brought
down last evening $118,000 in dust, priori
pally from Boise and Owjhee mines.
Mb. Richardson, the Tribunt't special cor
respondent, arrived in this city by the boat
. from above, last evening. He bag made the
circuit by San Francisco, Salt Lake, Montana
and Idaho, since big visit laBt summer with
the Colfax party. His journey has been
tlirougtr a most interesting section of coun
t'y, which deserves and will doubtless re
ceive,, a very full elucidation at his hands.
A CH'Anob. Now is the time for parties de
' siring try purchase fine presents for their
friends, to procure something handsome.
"Win. Birnbaum is determined to close out bis
Sto.k of jewelry, gold and silver watches,
silver and plated ware, Ac, at prices far be
low cost, in order to wind up bis business by
the 1st of January. Those desiring to avail
themselves of this opportunity should call
early.
Thk Cosmos Miming Company. The ten
Stamp mill of the Cosmos Gold h Silver Min
Ing Company, at Owyhee, is well under way
A building 54x60 feet has been erected for
. the mill, and all tbe machinery is now on the
ground. The Company owos tbe Silver Le
gion Lode and' an extension of the Morning
Star. Several bands are now employed .in
extracting rock from these mines, and by the
first of March tbe mill will be ready to worK
SiCvslR at oOtt Doobs. The Vancouver
RegitUr says that fine specimens of Bilver
bearing quartz have been exhibited in Van'
couTer, purporting to bave been found some
where between tbe Dalles and Mount Hood.
Silver can be seen in the rock with the aid of
a microscope. It is said that silver-quartz
hag also- been found on tbe head of Hood
Kiver by other parties. It would seem reason
able that the continuation of the broken and
comminuted quariz-veins of the Santiam and
Moialla may be found cropping out in a better
shape in tbe gorge of tbe Columbia, where it
bas broken through the Cascade range. Tbe
matter ought to be investigated at a proper
time with tbe pick aud shovel.
Deficient Sidewalks. There are, in tbe
city, several pieces of sidewalk which en
danger pedestrians, and already several per
. bods bave mot with accidents more or less
Injurious. It is the duty of the City Marshal
to report the existence of "man-traps" such
as these) and of the city authorities to have J
them repaired. Ia case of serious physical
injury to any person from the existence of
defects ia tbe 6trectB the city may be made
liable for damages, amounting to more than
the present annual expense of the city government.-
From this fact it seems to be only
proper that the authorities should bo partic
ularly careful to prevent anything from oc
coning which would- have such a disastrous
euect on tbe nuances ot tbo place.
Fbom- Hakniy Lakb Vaily. We have in
formation from Harney Lake Valley to the
18th inst. On tbe 12th of tbe month, Brevet
Major Perry's detachment of Fourteenth Reg
Ulars arrived at Iudian Spriugs, and on tbe
13th be relieved Capt. Soottund bis command
of California and Washington Territory vol
' untecrs, consisting of ninety-four enlisted
men. On tbe 14th Capt. Scott and-command
took their line of march for Fort Dalles, and
may be expected to arrive tbe coming week.
- Major Ferry baa with him sixty-four men of
the Fourteeetb Regulars, and twenty of tbe
Oregon Infantry, under command of Lieut.
Barlow. Major Perry is an officer of disting
uished merit, who has won eaeh step in the
service by wounds and gallant conduct. Ow
ing nothing to frieuds, he bas risen to his
rank, while yet almost boy ia years. We
- learn that he was highly impressed witb tbe
practicability of a winter campaign, and tbe
judicious measures which bave been taken to
varry it into effect. ' N
Lieut. Uobart relieved Lieut. Rithbunos
quartermaster at Iudian Springs. Capt. Wil-
liams is still at bis post on Silva River. Mai
Perry has made a requisition tor a dotatcb-
. luent of twenty cavalry for bis post, and they
uugbt to be eent forward at ouce. As soou
. as the men are made comfortable in quarters,
tbe valley will be scoured by scouting parlies
. so that Indians coming into it will do so at
tue peril oi tneir lives.

alvanjzbd Aoaik. Tbe advocates of thel
Chico route in tbe southern mines of Idaho,
bave all at once been thrown into a spasm
of renewed activity. Tbe continued reports
of sales of California produce, which came
over that route, looks as if tbe loss of tbe
stock belonging to Gen. Bidwcll's stage-line
bad' only strengthened tbe purpose of tbe
Californians to renew tbe contest for tbe bus
iness of supplying the mines of Owyhee and
Boise. Ordinary wisdom would appear to
indicute tbe necessity of some concert of ac
tion to retain this trade, but it is not likoly
to be lmd until our competitors have either
secured great advantages or spent much
money, to our detriment in any Case. If
things keep rroingon for the next two years
as they have for some months back, the travel
and transportation id likely to be eo directed
mat no po-iticular route will derive mmti
benefit from it. Ono thing moy be depended
upon i The Californians will take the advan
tage of tu e fact that draft stock is cheaper
there than here, to load a vast number of
wagons for the Idaho mines, hoping to find
here that continuous employment which tbey
are seeking. If tbo Cbico ronte should
then appear to bo even as good as fioui tbe
Cjlumba, they will have made a great 8 ride
lowarus securing tuo tra le to (.nliforn a.
