Our d" cabinet" contains some beautiful specl-
f6ens of rich gold quartz, presented by Mr.. ~. v.
Brown Just down from BannOck City. ANY one
doubling the richness of the quartz lodes in that
vicinity can have all such doubts expelled by call
ing and examining the specimens.
It also contains some specimens that look to us
like nothing else than a conglomeration of blue
limestone, iron pyrites and black lead This also
came from Ehe Boise country, and is said to be
fich in silver.
4 study for the geOlogist and antiquarian is
furnished from some very singular stones and
shells presented by Messls. L. T. Yaught and
Payne, Of Colonel Maury's Expedition. First, are
some pebbles from the Lot springs on Snake
river, covered with bright mineral which resen-
bles silver bronze and sparkes like diamonds.
This mineral is deposited by the water, and will
remain upon the pebbles, and to all appearance,
retains its brillancy for years. Next is beeuti~
ful specimen of petriled moss from Salmon Falls.
Next, lot OF petrifed shells; which have every
appearance of being marine. These We're picked
up on the high bluffs along Snake river, and fur
nish at least some evidence of the truth of the
geological doctrine that this country had liberal
interest in the deluge, or was at one time covered
with salt interchangeable.

has long been known that Mormon basin was
ich in gold, but the difficulty in separating it
rom the earth was the scarcity of water. What
improvement has been made in this rect we are
not appraised, but we understand that some three
hundred miners are at work in the basin, making
excellent wages. There are two stores in the ba>
sin-one of them kept by Wellington Perry, for
merly a resident Of the Dalles. These mines are
distant about forty mines from Auburn, and when
once water is introduced, promise to be among the
richest in the Northern country.-[ Mountaineer.

Some four or five teams direct from Canyon
City have just passed over the new road, and re-
port it practicable for loaded wagons. These
wagons were cut on Fifteen Mile creek yesterday,
but will be in town to~day, when they will load
up for Canyon City. They report that portion of
the road which has not been worked as entirely
practicable, and there is now no difficulty in the
way of teams passing over the entire rou'e. It
might be premature to advise teams to start by
this route to BOISE, but if Mr. Booth has succeed
ed as well with his end Of the road as expected,
the road by this time is open through to the Boise
country.

STAGE LINE TO BoIsE..--We have good authority
for saying that arrangements have been made
that ensure the placing of a line of stages on the
Boise and Canyon City road, as soon as it is com
pleted. The travel over the road Will abundantly
justify an enterprise OF the kind, and when once
the line is established it is quite certain that the
main portion Of the travel will go that way
Look out for lively times when the Dalles is Joined
