FOUND DEAD..-Between the hours of nine
and ten in the forenoon of Monday last, Cor
oner Crane was called upon to hold an in
guest over the body of man found dead in
a ditch in the vicinity of the saw-mill south
of the city on MOores creek. 1t appears that
three parties had left Bear run in the morning
for the purpose of prospecting in California
gulch, the deceased being behind the other
two. some distance. The two in crossing
Moores creek fiat, saw deceased on another
trail some distance above them they went
on to where they had claims on the south
bank of the creek and waited some time for
their companion, and as he did not come
along they started back, and when they ar
rived at this ditch or cut, found crowd of
men in the act of recovering the lifeIess body
from the water, of which there was some IS
inches in the place where it lay. The ditch
was some FIVE or six feet wide by six or seven
deep, and from all appearances the unfortu-
nate man had attempted to jump across, slip
ped perhaps and fell down on his head which
so stunned him that he drowned in the water.
Drs. Raymond and Hogg examined the body
and found no evidences of violence other than
what might reasonably be apprehended where
a man had fallen six or seven feet and struck
with his head on rocks or ground. The name
of the deceased was John Callaghan, native
of Ireland, and according to his own state
wife ard children in Liverpool, England
There was some testimony with regard to the
deceased having had quarrel the day before
his death, with a man named Wilson, who
was arrested and an attempt made to con-
meet the circumstances of the quarrel with
that of the death, but the probabilities were
against such conclusion as far as we could

lowing is the verdict of the Coroners Jury in

SEEKING THE INSIDE TRACK.-Our Sx-
changes from Northern California state that
energetic men are at work for the construction
of road from Red Bluff to the Boise mines.
Il is proposed to locate it through Shasta
valley and by way of the klamath Lakes
It ID insisted that good stage road can be
made, which will greatly save time and the
cost of freight. We hardly think so, but
doubtless the effort will be made to find a
route, competing with that by the Willamette
and Columbia River Valleys; if it succeeds,
the travel from Northern California and
Southern Oregon will leave this region, and
unless lively enterprise is manifested, it Is
possible that the proposed railroad may go
off in the klamath direction. 1t would be
we'll to consider this matter, before it is too
late.- OregOntGn.
The above we cut from the OregOnian Of
the 9th inst. It is high time the people Of
the Columbia and Willamette we're bestirring
themselves in the matter of improving roads,
and taking measures for cheapening freights
and passage on the rivers, for not only are
the statements which the Oregonian doubts
true, but there are at least two other feasible
routes into California to the east of the one
referred to, and companies are formed at each
end of the line for the purpose of building
wagon-roads ); and in the meantime, we have
it from gpositive authority, that pack-trains
loaded with groceries will be on the way here
from Red Bluff direct, by the first of March,
and droyes of cattle and sheep will leave
the Sacramento Valley about the same time,
and come by the way of Pit river, Goose
Lake and the Malheur, under the guidance
of Mr.. Dye, who travelled the route with
stock last season and knows what it is. Large
parties of prespectors are also forming in that
country for the purpose of prospecting thor
oughly the district of country lying between
klamath and Eagle Lakes, and south of the
head waters of the Owyhce and Malheur.
That the whole country between the Snake
and Sacramento rivers will ere long be settled
with a mining population, is not at all inn
probable. With these facts standing out so
prominently as a warning, we hope those who
have hitherto been gate-keepers, as it were,
to the mines Of Idaho will begin to see the
necessity of relaxing to some extent, the iron
grasp in which this people are held, and ex-
tend to them at least some consideration as a
population above the condition of slaves.

MEETING AT THE CoURT-HoUsE.-On the
evening of the 22d, very large crowd of
people assembled at the Courthouse, where
it was understood the members of the Legis-
latuFe would address the people on the topics
of the day. Hon. Mr.. Keithly came forward
and spoke at some length, but the hall and
doorway were SO crowded that we were una
BILE to approach near enough to hear any por-
tion of what he said. Councilman Miller and
Assemblyman Bodfsh were loudly called for
but were not in the house. Hon. w. G.
Rheem of East Bannock, being reneatedIv
called, came forward and gave them a brief
address on the character of Washington and
the fitness of celebrating the anniversary of
his birth. Hon. G. B. Waite was next called
for, and spoke briefly with regard to the pol
ities of the country; the progress of the re-
bellion, and the efforts of the Government to
put it down, winding up his remarks with a
review Of the future prospects of Boise Basin
declaring that, of his own knowledge. in
addition to the placer mining interests Of the
place, there are quartz mines discovered with

The Weather is still too pleasant to suit
the general desire Of the people for water. A
few light showers last Saturday and Sunday,
and a light sprinkle Of hail yesterday, are
about the only changes noticeable for month
past, with the exception of little colder
breeze yesterday than usual The southern
sides of all the hills in sight of the basin are
bare in spots, and we are informed that where
the snow is not more than one foot deep at
this time in many places, it was from three to
four in depth last February. So that the
indications are none of the best, though many
of the older residents are confident that while
it has rained here, it has been showing on the
higher mountains at the head of streams, and
that there will yet be more water in bitches
than there was last year.
