the Gryser Mountains aud on the slopes Of
Mt. Helena, has pretty well died out. a gem
tleninn who unites the science of the chenis,

opinion that the cinnabar found there is not
in true veins and in large quantities, but Is
isolated, us lift had reached its present posi

the same material lying far below. Certain
it is, that little is doing TO develop the re-

IL certificate of IN assay made by MIR Moltor
of some of the cinnahar taken from the vein
discovered by him in Napa county, eight
miles west of Mt. st. Helena The result
was 81 per cent. OF quicksilver; so the ore is
pretty valuable, if there be enough Of it.

MORE TROUBLE WITH THE INDIANS IN THE

9th, says:
The Indians near Big Bend, Mad River,
continue their hostile demonstrations toward
the settlers. Last week they killed and
wounded several cattle belonging to Cave
Bros. As soon us it was known. Hugh Cave,
Richard McGru er, and two others, followed
the Indians to their ranches, and made an
attack upon them. Two Indians received
their qurtus, and it was thought several
more put beyond cattle stealing. Some 500
or 500 pounds Of dried beef was found in the
ranches, which, with the ranches, and such
other property as was known to be'ong 10
the depredators, was destroyed. These In
dams seem determined that the settlers shall
leave that portion of the river, but they fnd

The features of the country, vegetation and

some cause or other the general aspect f the

desolation personiied. The stiffness of the
atmosphere, without breath of mir or note
from the warLling melody of birds the water
smoking with latent heat, the unpleasant
emanation from the alkaline plain, with the
leaden hue of the sky give the place weird
and gbaaly appearance that reminds one of
the ancient cities of the Plain. In short, If

lodged out of a rear door, and stood peeping
through its broad pane while the vote was
