Cornucopia, Oct. (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is withdrawn.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.

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

Slowly niul beautifully tho folingc is ni
sinning the vnrious utitiimunl tints that
innrk the approach of winter, and we are
lost in admiration of the golden glory
wrought by the inngicnl hniid of nature.
The honest farmer lins neither the titiiciioi1
inclination to "commune with nature in
her various Inoods." While wheat is otily
00 ets. per. biHiel, with only a a distant
proiqieet of a higher pried, and until that
Ivetter tiny arrives, "a primrose on the riv
er's brtiti, a yellow primrose is to him, and
it is nothing more." An agent of a Chi
cago linn is buying nil the wheat he can at
the above rales. If they depend on thd
growing of cereals, the farmers of llolsi
Valley canliot innko even a livelihood, and
