A RUSH TO ELK CITY.


The mines about Elk City last fall we're paving
well enough to satisfy the majority of miners then
loc lted there but Salmon seduced them away,
and many who thought $40 and S15 a day as
good thing as they wanted" were dissatisfied
with the wondrous piacerS Of Florence. So excl
ted, indeed were the first corners to Salmon last
fall that friend Of mine who was there, COM
pared them to a lot of old hens, save that the
hens could beat them scratching around" for
so excited were they that they could nor-in most
instances-make up their minds where to locate,
for fear that each might not have the richest
claim Their condition was like Yellow Plushs,
while seated between the two beautiful ladies, of
whom he had but to take the choice, and couldn't
make up his mind His emotions are best ex-
pressed by himself: T" felt like donkey between
two bundles of hay"
But now the imagnations OF men are cooling
of, and $40 and 20 day does not look so small
So Elk City stock is on the rise
From that interesting burg | learn that my
friend Capt NJ. has built quite a CITY during the
winter months, and made many substantial i'm
provements, and only needs two or three quartz
mills to be located there to complete his happ-

the parties are working IN good faith to improve

granted to them. Notwithstanding this, there
are parties who find much fault with the arrange

that the County Commissioners have no right to
grant such franchise, won't pay toll &c. For
my own part, think there can be no other way
to improve the trails in this country, but think
the Territorial Legislature ought to make it OBJ
ligatory the holders of road charters and licen-
ses to spend certain amount of receipts on the
improvement of the road-recepts and expendi.

THE MINES AND PROSPECTS.

The yield of gold in the mines is all that the
most sanguine defenders of the richness of them
ever prophesiad, but Notwithstanding this, it is
true that many men have been so unfortunate as
to not find paying claims OF those who have
come up from both the Willamette and California
l have known many instances in which men have
returned after a stay of week, and had made up
their minds that they would not pay One gen
teman of California had an affecting story to tell
of some friends wfo could not make expenses at
ten ounces day, because provisions were 81 per
pound. Presuming on the verdancy of this cor
respondent, newly-fedged miners of week can
tell him more than he has been able to hear or
see during five months residence in the mines.-
1t is a shame TO the manhood of men that the first
breath Of Encouragement should deter them from
giving the mines a fair trial Among the dis
couraged are many who never had any business
here-men Of wealth, for wi ON there need be no
sympathy, as that grasping spirit which yearns
for MORE when a competence is secured is best
rebuked and corrected by an unlucky trip to the
mines, and some experience in mining As fol
those who come here to pick up" money, they
have their own deserved reward. The ndustr-
Gus and unlucky miner deserves sympathy, but he
is seldom found in the corps of "growers."
The rush of miners up and across Salmon river
still continues, and is met by returning column
of rushers' who are rushing back-some to start
again in many new directions, and manr will con-
tnue to rush until their original starting point is
reached. At present it is out of the question to
reach the creeks to the north Of Florence, be-
tween Clearwater and Salmon, and until it can be
done but few discoveries this side of Salmon may
be looked for. The area of mining discoveries
about Florence is gradually increasing, but not TO
an extent to give claims TO all there, and in con-
sequence there is

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAWS.

1t is much to be wished that the district court
for this county will take ample time for its first
session at Florence, and by making good begin
ming in the commencement to establish whole
some dread of the power of the laws among those
who may be disposed to "cut up any free niger
shines" To commence at the commencement is
always good and never better than in the first
application of legal restraint to the dishonest and
unruly H. NJ

From our Special Correspondent
LETTERS FROM THE MINES.
Tenth Letter.

MOUNTAIN HOUSE, w. T., June 6, 1862.
Summer has at length come in good earnest,
but the end of winter, scorpion like, has its sting
in its tail From the fact of winter lasting six
months, it was only reasonable that the remain
der of the year should have a double share of
pleasantness in it, and be more than doubly con-
venlen for mining purposes; but such is not ex-
actly the case for the end of the snow brings the
water down in such quantities that prospecting
has become nearly impossible From this fact,
and many Others | am of the opinion that Sal
mon, like Frazer, is not particularly the place for
one to enjoy himself in. As the Respondent Brit
asher said of Frazer, " in summer its so bawsted
'ot and in winter its so blawsted cowld that
man has no chance in the blawsted country" So
it may be said Of Salmon, that the climate is the
greatest impeachment to the fulfllment of the gold
en- dreams of miners. Sill. the snow will all melt
soon, new trails will be opened the weather be-
come settled, and perhaps new eldoradoes be dis
covered by the tlreless prospectors of the Salmon
mines
Five months amid SHOWS is equal to a year in
pleasanter locality superadd starvation prices,
bread straight" ard hard work, and it becomes
an age. Thinking thus, and longing for a sight
of green hills and wide extended plains, adorned
with flowers, &c. your correspondent "adiOurned"
the removal of his deposits from the Florence
banks to get one more sniff of the summer air, as
from appearances he was not likely to have that
pleasure in the mines. Speaking of I" shifts re-
minds me of snifters," and a snifter reminds me
of the peculiar temperature of air as you descend
to the westward of Florence towards Salmon !;
first there is whiff of warm air. then of cool like
and iced whiskey and water imperfectly mixed
streak of cold and a streak of warm in Its com
position, and very pleasant to mbbe-l beg your
pardon, / was thinking of drinking and meant
breathing.
Doubtless, at this moment you are complaining
of hot weather. and flying for satisfaction to sher-
ry-cobblers and cooling beverages generally, but
in this locality such stuff don't go down. Speak
ing of sherry-co5blers reminds me of a new cool
ing substance which may yet become an article of
export from these dggings refer to crystalized
quartz. The following letter, with a beautiful
specimen of quartz crystal, was sent by ]. c., an

pend on having a regular supply in future.

JOHN DEAN AND MISS BoKER.-A few
years ago the marriage of Miss Boxer, of
New York, with her fathers coachman,
John Dean, set all the scandal mongers
Of Gotham in a fever. The New York
correspondent Of the Philadelphia Inguir-
er thus continues the "strange eyentful
history"
eater the marriage the couple, not
withstandiug their different bringing up,
lived happily enough together, in a small
cottage over in Williamsburg. The hus-
band obtained an Office in the Custom
House, and saved money enough to open
a public house at tho foot of Grand street,
Williamsburg. But alas for John Dean,
he could not keep hotel. II is said he
was his own best customer, and, rs a nat
ural result he commenced treating his
wife badly. In a short while all their
money was spent, and with poverty CON-
ing in at the door, love, as usual, few out
of the window. John beat and abused
his wife, but all this she put up with un-
til starvation stared her in the face, when
she was compelled to ask admission into
the alms-house. The petition was grant
cd, and the fashionable, elegant and ac-
complshed belle of the Fifth avenue-a
few years ago-is now the associate OF
beggars and paupers.

Mules Valuable for Farm Work.

IL any body wishes the mule for sad
dle-beast, he is welcome TO his choice, and
he will have good company and good ox-
amples before him. In Persia SYRIA.
Spain, Italy and indeed in nearly all semi,
tropical countries, these animals ave often
used for riding Forr rough, mountainous
regions, they are invaluable, being so sure
footed. BY n little training too, they
they can be brought into very agreeable
gait. A foreign writer says. ain Bag
dad, most Of the learned and holy pro-
fessions prefer the ass, as do all the ladies.
They are Of particular breed, and often
bring fifty pounds sterling, ($25o.) The
favorite color is spotless white; they
are magnificently caparsoned, and have
their nostrils slit, which is said to make
them long -windcd. Surely, their wind is
long enough when they bray! The bray
is not much admired, generally, but the
author of scared tract on the nobleness
Of :he ass, (l695,) after giving US all its
sweet notes, concludes by declaring that
the continued braying Of FIVE or six asses
forms melodious kind of music, song
of world without end.'" s1 a.mlH
But it is with mules, as draft animals,
that We have now especially to do. They
are sometimes from fourteen TO sixteen
hands high. They are stronger, surer-
footed, and more durable than common
horses. They are subject to comparative
ly few diseases. The expense of shoeing
them is slight. They will live and thrive
upon one-third less than horses, and eat
contentedly the cheapest and coarsest
kinds of food. Yet, il is a little remark
able that the ass is quite fastidious about
his drink, preferring only perfectly pure
water. Hence the meaning Of n passage
in an ancient classic: "Tbersites, would
that the fountain Of your mind were clear
again, that l might water an ASS at it.p
Much has been said about the obstina-
cy, stupidity, and visciousness of the mule.
But whether these alleged vices arc not
owing chiefly to the i'll usage he gets, is
perhaps an open question. Mules arc
seldom known TO die, or TO become old !;
we never yet met with one called over
ten years of age! At least their age is
seldom thought of in purchasing; for they
are serviceabe for thirty years or more.
We are'glad TO see they are being used
moro and more for farm work. Cor.

CHICAGO RIvER.-The inhabitants of
Chicago seem TO be waking up to the I'M
portance Of taking some steps TO cleanse
out the turgid little stream which flows
through their city, and is dignifed by tho
name of river. When we visited Chica.
60 in 1885, il consisted Of few houses
clustered about the immediate vicinity of
the "old FORT" and extending along tho
bank Of the river but n short distance
above Clark street. All the rest of the
present site Of the city was then piimeyal
prairie. Even at that day the river was
an Insignificant stream, and in the fcrvent
rays of midsummer sun dwindled into
breeder of pestilence, and its green and
Shiny waters poisoned the neighboring air
with miasma. The growing demands of
commerce have caused its channel TO be
deepened and widened, dense popula-
tion now live or do business on both
banks of this stream, aud the filth of a
great city is thrown or drained into it to
an extent beyond its capacity to carry off.
1t has become neither more nor less than
great open sewer, breathing disease in
to the air of the city and poisoning its
water. 1t is now proposed TO construct
main from tho head Of the south branch
to the lake, and, by forcing water into the
river through it, create q current which
shall carry off MI tho impurities which
find their way into it. 1t is estimated
that it can be done for $4,000, and that
it will prove entirely efiectual.
