FROM FRIDAY MINE IN IDAHO.

Foot Ltvtl.
Neil .1. SoritiiM'ii V Co receied a
letter this morning from l. M. Grilllth,
HUpcrintendent of the Friday mine, at
Pearl, Idaho, Hinting that u flue hodv of
gold ore hud been encountered in the
eiiHt tit if t mi the lltO foot level.
One fitot of this ore ih exceedingly
rieh in gold ; in fact as high or higher
than any heretofore uncovered in that
section of the country. The IhmIv car
les every evidence of U'lng iermaucnt.
Mr. Grilllih also writes that the mine
is looking Hue in every way, ami
further, that the striking of this ore
body in that particular place, adds
wonderfully to its value.
Look Out For tbc Ground Hof .
Next Monday will Int ground hog day.
Weather prophets and others should
bear this fact in mind, as the actions of
this animal is s.iid to denote the length
of time that winter is to remain with
us. According to the old belief should
thu ground bog see his shadow be re
turns to his burrow and remains six
weeks, and for tlmt length of time
winter will last. Should he not see his
reflection on the snow, or ground as the
cane may be. ho doeH not return, and
winter war half over at Christmas.
I'artiuH interested must note if Febru
ary 2U Ih clear or cloudy.
