THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
Published Every Saturday Morning
From Boise.

Hon. NJ Moore, who arrived yesterday from
Boise, confirms the reports of the richness of the
mines of that country.
He informs us that the mining region, so far
as prospected, extends east and west some thirty
miles, and north and south fifteen miles, The
diggings are on the north branches OF the Boise,
and are drained by three creeks known as Grimes
creek, Moores creek and Placer creek. Nearly
all the small guches and banks along these
creeks pay from S. to $50 per day. The richest
bank diggings have been found on Moore's creek
and the richest guch on Placer. One claim on
the former prospects depth of fifteen feet from
cents to $3.50 to the pan, and other claims
there prospect nearly as well. On Placer creek,
aurray & Co., have taken out of their claim as
ligh as $500 per day.
Mr.. Lyman Shafer has discovered a quartz
lode on Placer Creek which prospects as high as
81 to the pan in the decomposed rock.
Mr.. Moore states that the diggngs are both
rich and extensive, though he would advise no
one to attempt to make the trip there this fall, as
they would necessarily have cold, long journey
and perhaps be unable to get into the mines this
winter or on arriving there would most likely
be unable to do anything at prospecting or min
ing. on account of cold and snow. No difficulty
is anticipated there this fall with Indians, they
having left that country for their winterlng places
There was no snow in the mines when Mr. Nj.
left though the weather was becoming very cold.
A New IDEA,-A newspaper called the
Sanitarian, to be devoted to the interests
of the Sanitary Commission, is soon to be
issued at Oregon City. 1t is to be pub
lished semi-monthly at 50 per year, and
the prospectus announces that one half the
proceeds of the concern are to be donated
to the Sanitary fund. The paper is to be
published and edited by all association of
young men--none Of whom are printers, of
course, or they never would embark in so
wild a scheme. The idea Of devoting one
half the income Of a.newspaper a. in Oregon
to charitable purpose seems funny to say
the least. Such institutions in that coun-
try have heretofore been regarded as OBJ
jects of charity themselves rather than ac-
cumulators of money for charitable purpo-
ses and just for the reason too, that per-
sons knowing as little of the business in
which they were investing as we presume
this committee" does, have dabbled into
it. Deeming the object of the committee
a laudable one, we cannot but wish them
success, but apprehend that before they get
through with their enterprise they will
stand more in neel Of assistance from the
Sanitary Commission than the Commission
will from them.

communicated to the Medical Times very
important plan. which he has adopted for the

a GOOD story is current of Col. Lawson, of
the United States forces in Missouri 1t seems
that he was captured by an irregular body of
rebels, Numbering nearly one hundred. At
first they threatened to shoot him, but finally
decided to release him on parole. Upon in
vestigation, it proved that, of the rebels who
then had him in charse-about one dozen
not one could write parole, or anything
else. Through their whole youth they had
never been subjected to the pernicious influ-
ence of free schools. At last they requested
Col. Lawson to make out the parole and sign
it. He Immediately wrote an agreement,
pledsing himself never to take up arms
against the United States Of .America, or in
any way give aid and comfort to their enc
mics, signed it, and was set at liberty. He
made the best of his way to our lines, and
was not overtaken. 1t is surmsed that when
that parole fell into the hands of some rebel
officer who could read, it evoked a good many
maledictions upon the head of the Yankee
trickster

lGERTIFIcATE.1


The undersigned, desroas of acquaintinr those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af-
f.eied-xAars of their sucrncs
may be obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly
express his most sincere gratitude 10 DR., J.. j.
Czapkay for the permanent recorery of his health.
Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion
in youth, depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the
daily ayocations of life, sought the advice of ma
ny physicians, who at first regarded my disease as
of trifing Importance but alas, after few weeks,
and, in several alinstanees months q their treatment,
/ found to ny unutterable horror, that instead of
relief, my symptoms became more charming in
their torture aad being told by one that my dis
ease being principally confined to the brain, medi-
cine you'd be of little consequence, despaired of
regaining MY health, strength and energy and
as last resort, and with but faint hope, called
upon DIR. Czapkay, who, after examining my case,
prescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head. Encouraged by the result, l resolved to
place my self under his care, and, by strict obed-
enee to all his Instructions and advice, my head be-
clear, my ideas collected, the ecnstant pain in
my back and groins, the weakness Of ny liu,bs the
nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest
alarm excitement, the misanthropy and evil
forebodings the selfdstrust and want of confidence
IN Others, the ineapability to study the of
solution, the frghful exciting and at times pleas
discharges, have all disappeared, and in fact, in
two months after haTing consulted the Doctor,
felt as if inspired by life-that life which, a
short time ago, contemplated to end with my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of incompetent quacks deem
it my duty to offer this testimony to the merits and
skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to all
who may stand in need of medical advice, being
assured by my own experience that, once under his
