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. WASCO COUNTY OFFICIAL..

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.
