(t, I.W, It is Retting quite cool at this point, and one Joes not feel in a very happy mood to write, evening, out in the open nir. with n smoking, nickering nitd rudely impro vised lamp for a light, and having a ino hoguny set-rotary, constructed of pine clap boards, the edges of which seem inclined to turn toward the enmp tire which often gives us the benefit of heaving volume of smoke, causing us to shed more tour drops than we are accustomed to do. New ledges are almost daily located, some of which have the usual appearance of the general richness which have charsctomcd the majority of the ledges heretofore men tioned. The only important transaction this week, so far. is the bonding of the. Forrest Queen, Extension and Lone Star, owned by Mr. Fowler. There have been doubts in tlie minds of some, whether Mr. Xeunor really meant business or not, but the fact that he has paid down Jl.OOO. and contracts to sink a shaft to the depth of fifty feet, wilt certainly dispel nnv doubt of his lid li es ty of purpose. Those mines are bonded for CO days. There are now over 100 locations in this district. As a mutter of fact most of the parties owning ledges, have not sulllcient means to develop their ledges. The chan ces for selling them at possibly fair tlguros are not great, and if bonding to develop them is offered, the terms required are us ually so exorbitant that the oiler to bond is withdrawn. This is due to the fact the owners are principally men who have but little, if any practical knowledge of ores, or the value of ledges, and induce them selves to believe their mhie a very valuable one. This, of course, may be the case, but the. days of jumping at conclusions of the wonderful richness of a mine, and accep ting thoe conclusions as facts, without any show of development, have long since past. Dan. Moore, President of the Placer Mining Co., has been in the district for some time, building a dwelling and a'nx iously watching the progress of his cut. So far they have not succeeded in reaching thebed-rock, but expect to before the fall is over. Gen. Tannatt, who wa sent out by the Portland Hoard of Trade, arrived a few days ago, having come over the route pro posed from Union to this place. Of course ho keeps his own counsel, and, perhaps, it would have been folly to have interviewed him upon any of thosu vital points, which arc of so much importance to either Union or llaker City, lie took specimens of ore from the principal ledges, which ho will exhibit to the ifoard of Trade at Portland. Umo.v Suciw Sllcds, etc. The Work on the snow sheds is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. There arc now about one hundred men at work, and this winter, the storms may howl, the winds whistle their shrillest tennor notes, the snow may fall to its deepest depths; but when it (lies and drifts, and drifts and llies, and plays "hide and seek," the chances are, for this winter, that the trains will start anil stop, and stop and start, and pull' and blow, and whistle and shriek, and strain, and tho engineer willl curse and get mad, and pull his lever, and then leavc(?) his pull, get out of his cab. and look, o? .try to look through the blin ding snow, blow his fingers, get into his cab and blow his whistle, and then he'll have toget out to see if the blamed thing bio wed ; get mad again and then say sonic harsh words against the storm, pull his lever, and about the time lie thinks he's going to go he don't. 5y this time the fireman, the conductor, and the brakcincn, have found out the snow is on a big spree, and gets into their ears and eyesj ami spits into their faces, as a gentle reminder that they are in ihe Pyle canyon, where snow sometimes piles up thick and fast, and they "let their angry passions rise," and get back on the train to consult their spirit ual guide. About the time they think they are gltting along through, and tho snow stops for a few minute to blow its fingers, thoy find the train is getting along finely, having ttone just exactly Id Toot in ID min utes Then that fireman, thai engineer, tho conductor and the brakcincn will get oil' of that "lightening express" and settle right down to expressing their profound sympathy for the author of "lieiiuliful Snow." and divide and twist the Luglish language into a greater variety of express ions thai it over Was before, or over will be again. After working about 2,'J hours out of i, they find themselves not Verv far frotn nowhero, but thrco milos iroin supper. WILL YOU SUFFI5U with Dvspopsia and Liver Complaint?
