" We have recently been treated to a small'

mn tbe placer mines at BagJe Creek, iuclud
tug the camps of New Hog'Em, or Susanville
Koester, and several other patcMs of ground
have pretty generally failed to 'meet ibe ex
pectations of operative miners. To- eompen
sate for this, however, the qjuarls discoveries
. bare proven uncommonly rich- One 5-stamp
mill, near Eagle City, has gone into operation
lib d. It first clean-up revealed highly satisfac
tory results. Several mote mills are to be
creeled. Oue o the most Important q.narti

Message or the GorxuxoR or Idaho.
Gov. Lyon commences bis annual message
with a hifalutm exordium, which reads as
fallow's i
The temple of war is closed 1 No more shall
its iron mouthed and brazen throated cannon
peal forth droal miserere's over half a thou
and battle fields, where sleep-their lHt sleep
the victor and the vanquished. No- more
sbnll tbe ear of night be pienced with the
echoes of fierce assuuli and stubborn defence
from encompassed and beleagurel cities.
The couflict is oven, n4 with it expired the
cause. They who appealed to tbe last argu
ment of kings, appealed in vain. The dirt
Miiuttoa of our co-mmon country has been
vindicated, and tbe Union has been sustained.
The .destroyers bave become tbe testorer,
and those Who were the last in war bave been
the first to bail tbe glorious aitveul of peace.
Each returning Slate is welcomed with na
tional joy; each renewed tie of the ancient
fraternity of feeling is another evidence of
tbe wisdom of the Government in its posi
tion, that statehood may be suspended but
in ooly with annihilation die. I hear

lie recommends the raising of funds by
taxation to place the eause of education on a
firm basis -r be urges tbe passage of a militia
law; thinks divorce cases' ought to be left en
tirely to the courts; road franchises should
be guarded, and means taken to compel pro-
rietors of rondj to expend a ceitain pro
portion of receipts in their maintenance
and improvement. lie recommends tbe pas
sage of a memorial asking Congress to- im
prove the navigation of " Shosbonee " River,
etween Wallula and Lewiston. He thinks
that a road can be constructed from Lewiston
to Helena, Montana Territory, by tbe Lo-Lo
Fork, rotUe, and, says that pack animal, bave
paBSed. from one point Co the other " in twelve
ays." The Mullan Road ought to be cleared
out, and a railroad built on the portages from
Wallula, on tbe Columbia River, to Salt Lake
City, " by tbe w ay of the Grande Ronde Valley
nd Walla Walla, over the lewest pass of the
lilue Menintains-" If be reall J intends to find
that " lowest pass " he will bave to. go a good
ways off the route be proposes for a railroad..
The Governor makes some sonsible sugges
tions In regard to' the mail communications
between Idaho and Nevala, and. as might be
expected, claims the establishment of
ranch mint as a necessity for Boise Citr
ine message tapers on with tbe following
paragraph :

other useful ores which have been discovered
within the past year, tin, cinnabar, copper.
