GREAT CoNyENIENoE.--Wall street is Oeing
continued straight across to the base Of West
hill, the bed of Elk creek being divided into
several canals Of bitches, has been bridged
wherever any portion OF it crosses the road,
and the travelling is nov first rate. The Pla-
cerville stage now goes that way as we'll as
the Bnena Vista travel. This improvement
makes Waltstreet the principal thoroughfare
Of ingress and egress to and from the city.
The public are mainly indebted to L. H. Bar
Der, Esq, of the International, for taking the
lead in pushing the matter to completion.
Parties are now leveling off lots and building
along the line of the road as fast as the miners
work out the ground, and by next summer
W all street extension will be as busy as Main
street in the transaction Of ali kinds of bust
ness.

HEALTH MPRovtNe.-The sharp, frosty
weather of the last ten days has had saluta-
ry effect upon the health ofthe country there
Is perhaps not one half the sickness now in
this place that there was two weeks ago.
Doctors are beginning to complain that there
is but little to do, and when times begin to
get dull with them in thickly populated
city, it is a pretty sure Indication that the
sickly season is over. Parties are beginning
too to see and act upon the necessity of taking
better care ofthemselves than formerly which
no doubt has had something to do in improv-
ing health.

SUPPLIES FOR THE MINEs.-Under the
above caption the DalIes Mountaineer makes
some very pertinent remarks. II says the
shipments now going forward are by no means
equal to the wants of the country; that a
much larger number Of persons intend to
Winter in the mines than have ever done SO
heretofore; that the shipments are much
lighter than those of previous seasons, and
that the indications are that we will have an
early and very severe Winter. 1t further as
serts that goods taken into the Boise country
have only been about equal to current con-
sumption, and should Winter set in suddenly,
articles Of first necessity would run up to
en- ormous prices. 1t is estimated that from
six to uine thousand persons will Winter in
the Basin. These will have to be fed from
four to five months, and it is believed there
are not supplies on hand to feed that number
two months. Many pack-trains are already
turned out, and away up on the 10th parallel
it is unsafe to trust the Winters we are la
BILE to deep SHOWS at any time, and with them
of travel. Merchants and ship
pers should exercise all their energies in get
ting goods through with the utmost expedition.
The market will not be overstocked; no one
need hold back on that account; they are
bound to realize good profits before Spring.
# is still further suggested that traders may
not thank the newspaper for its advice, as it
may interfere with some nice little specula-
tions, but no right thinking man will wish to
speculate on the miseries Of his fellow men.
We are inclined to think the case is put
rather strong, judging from what we see
stored away in the root houses, but there are
a great many people here and it is we'll to be
prepared for the worst. Bring on your flour,
butter, bacon, lard, &C., in any quantities you
please; there will be plenty Of buyers with
he cash to pay for it all at good paying prices
before the roads get good in the Spring. We
laye no fears of starving as the Mountaineer
suggests and seems to fear, however, for if the
worst comes to the worst we can easily get
,ut to the valley of Snake river and work our
way down to steamboat navigation, an emer-
,ency that we have not the least idea viii f
rise, and a trip that we have no thought Of I
aking. On the contrary il ID thought bv
hose who have travelled much in.these noun
aims, that the expresses win continue to make
ocular trips, and that pack-trains will arrive !,
very month in the year. II

LLOYD MAGRUDRR.-We are indebted to
Mr.. Strauss for a slip cut from the Golden
Age containing q statement of the cireumstan-
ces that lead to the belief that Mr.. Magruder
has been murdered. The statement is not
materially different from that copied BY ur
from the MOuntaineer, except that the finding
of the body is a mistake, and the faint hope i
left that he may possibly be alive, but the
hope is so vague that it affords but little COM
fort to his friends.

COUNTY FINANCES. Elsewhere will be
found statement of the receipts, expenses
and financial condition of Boise county. Par
ties owning property liable to taxation, as
well as those doing business requiring a Ii
cense, will see at once the necessity of pay
ing up promptly. If a proper start is made
in the beginning, it will be but little trouble
to keep the county out Of debt; but if matters
are allowed TO run along at loose ends until
county credit runs down and everything has
to be bought at double price in consequence
Of the deprecated value Of scrip, burden of
debt will become saddled upon us that it will
take years of heavy taxation to remove, and
involve US moreover in the payment of inter-
