that point. L. J. R'.use and Obe Mason
have returned, and tho former showed us
souio of tho quartz, in rvhich gold is
plainly visible to tho naked eye. It is
tho opinion of Mr. Rouse that tho Cox
& Allen, Forest Queen, nnd some of tho
other ledges, are Undoubtedly rich in both
gold and silver, but further developments
will have to be nindo before any approxi
mate idea can be formed of their value.
A town-site bus been laid out, to which
thero leads a eood trail from Piuo valley.
Agreatdoal of prospecting is being done,
nnd it is acknowledged by all that a rich
and pcrmnncnt mining camp will be tho
result. Although the mines are undoubt
edly rich, the people of that seotion ap
pear to tnko tho matter very rationally,
und aro not disposed to create any und 110
excitement. The following letter bus just
been received from one of the discoverers
of tho tninei, and We presume is a fair
statement of the condition of things :
Pine Valley, Juno 28, 19S5.
Editok Scout: Perhaps a few items
concerning the mines at this place will
not be unintere3ting to many of your
readers, as wo have quite a mining
boom here at present. This camp was
discovered last slimmer, and at present
writing no less than one hundred pros
pecting ledges have been struck. The
true formation here is mineralized
slate. The Allen & Cox mine is a gold
bearing vein, and they have a return
from ten pounds of rock that netted
$040. The discovery of tho mine was
made this spring. The Forest Queen,
Union and Red Jacket mines run par
allel with each other, and in close prox
imity. They have largo croppings,
that can be traced for thousands of
feet. The average assays from theso
mines run high, and there is enough
ore in sight no doubt to keep a twenty
stamp mill running for several years.
There are other good-looking prospects
in tho camp. All of the ledges hero
seem 'to be in place, and there aro no
indications of a shook-up country here.
Wo arc right in the center Of a vast
mineral belt, and everything goes to
show that we are to have a flourishing
camp here. It is said that' there aro
now about two hundred and fifty men'
in this vicinity. We have now' a store,
saloon, blacksmith shop and a chop
house, aa a starter, for the town. So
far it has been very peaceable here,and
every ono law-abiding. Will send you
a full description of tho camp, and
latest mining news, in a few days.

Tlio County Records-
We are again thro itcned with a wordy war
between certuin factions conccuiiug tho county
records. This Hecms to bo au'cpldcmic which
I rcakN out at stated times of each year, some
what similar to the measles. Alter a certain
amount of giiscotis atmosphere has been ex
haled, by tho parties, becomo 8onthed,and ipii
utly subside until the pressure on their inter
nal organism becomes too great, and they a
gain explode. The racket commences by the
party of the fit part in the unpleasantness,
insinuating that tho party of the second part
(the county ofliciuls, past and present) aro a ant
of deni thieves, that should bo ox per toil, and
by saying they could tell something If they
had a mind to. Tho party of tho second part
replies by calling the party nf tho first part,
another, and dares him to tell. The first par
ty replies that tlioydiiro.-and adds tignific.int.
ly that it would be intercttiny. Tho second
party say they (lament. Tho Orst l arty says'
tlity daro, and calls the tecond p.-vtty a
bigger. Both parties then l.o.wmd exceed
ingly wroth, and pump tlieir shot Into each
other about like this you darsont we dare
you don't we do stvhhl spatl'-fl-z-i-.!
and tho battle ends without any body btin3
s'adghteiod. Now this kind of thing,
while it is amusing to many of tho 8octatofi.,
is becoming somewhat monotonous to th'6 most
of tho people. Whether theso disturbances
are put in motion, for' tho purixiso of further
ing the ends of justice, and serving the best in
terests of tho people; or for jiolltical reasons,
and the gratification of personal enmity, we
know not, and do not caio; but certain it is,
that such Hilly dallying, can result in uo prac
tical good. No doubt tho records should bo
overhauled and corrected as much as possible,
and thoro is a proper way to do' it. Whoever
feels interested in' it enough to set the ball in
motion, with an hlihest purpose, will be sup
IKirted by the peopls. Wo think, however,
that there would be full as much accomplished
by putting in any surplus energies we iiosseas,
in keeping the county records from the clutches
of ratcals in the' future, as there would be by
spending money to uncover the shortcomings
nf thieves, into whoe custody we may havo
given them in tho past. At any rato tho peo
ple Would prefer less wind and more work.
