BIG Jumps FROM KOOTENAI.-''Mose,"
of the Kootenai express, brought down on
Friday last some Of the " big Jumps" that
every one interested in the Kootenai mines
has read about. The largest was the S7S
piece-a beautiful specimen, entirely free
from quartz, and resembling somewhat the
Carriboo gold, though not quite so Jros$y in
shade. The other lumps-four in number
weighed from $iS to $32 each Nose
brought down also small lot of the Koo-
tenai dust, the average of which consists of
particles weighing from FIVE to fifty cents.
lie states that pieces weighing from five to
thirty dollars are quite numerous in the
mines, though they constitute the exception
rather than the rule of the kind of gold ta-
ken out there. On his way down he learned
from party of miners that diggings had
been discovered in the St. Mary's Basin,
about one hundred miles west of what is
known as the Kootenai mines A general
stampede had taken place for the scene of
the new discovery among persons going up
and coming down upon the road.

tie which they drove up from Umpqua valley. Ore

them ready for market in the spring

HUNG.-A half-breed named Greenwood was
hung last week between Burnt river and the Ex-
press ranch. His offense was shooting the
toll-keeper on the Burnt river toll-road with
out any provocation, and wounding another
man at the Express ranch, who interfered with
him for offering violence to lady. He was
caught by mob, hung up and left hanging for
SO hours,

THEY |TAKE THE PAPERS.

"JUsr AS WE Predicted. "A Correspondent
of the Oregonjan writing from this place. says a
Union League is reported to be in existence in
this neighborhood. We have reason to believe
at the Correspondent is himself one of these
guers and that he knows there is such a
league in existence here. We are quite positive
that some three or four persons have banded
themselves together in the neighborhood styl-
ing their organization "Loyal League" We
are further convinced of the existence of such
an organization by some loud complaints of
stolen chickens from persons living at the up
GER end of town-accompanied with divers
threats of chastsement on those who attempt
20 ssrule the roost' at the hour of midnight
We predicted that chicken-stealing would follow
the organization of such league here, and the
prediction has been verified. 1t must not be
supposed that any of the leaguers would make
midnight raids upon defenseless hen-coops to
disturb the quietly slumbering 'feathered-tribe,
or with remorseless hand and bloody intent sep
arate the tender brood from the old cock-a-doo-
dle-doo and his venerable female shanghae-ster,
for they are honorable men-all honorable men,
else why do they assemble at the dead hour of
night and with secret-bound oath pledge them
selves to plot in every conceivable manner to
lect their political scrubs at the next election.
No, such men would not engage in robbing
hen-roosts it must be "some other Cinnamon"

The Oregonion affects to believe that
the rebel Gen. Price may be induced to
come over and elect the next set Of officers
and delegates in this Territory, and then
adds, by way of clncher, '-'and it is by
no means certain that our neighbors would
be much worse of than now" You will
have enough to grieTe about, neighbor, when
that woody menaserie of your State opens
at Salem. Don't 'borroU trouble so far
fetched, it's all of PRICE and you will
have plenty of trouble at home when that
fanatical delegation Of yours get at logger
heads.

RIcH.-There are fifteen gulches in the new
mines on Eagle creek which prospect from
five cents to five dollars to the pan. The
paying claims, so far as discovered, are all
occupied. Atprescnt there is no water to
work the mines, but company has been or
ganized to convey ditch into them This
work will be completed in six or eight weeks,
after which those who have prospected there
say the digsines will show richer yield
than any that have ever been worked at
Boise. These mines are only about l25 miles
distant from this city.

THE FIRST MELoN-Mr Philip Ritz
took us by surprise on Thursday evening by
presenting us with luscious, ripe water
melon-the first of the season. This, we
believe is several days earlier than any mel
on, not produced in hot bed has ever be
fore been rased in this valley. In few more
days, Mr.. r says, ripe melons will be plenty
in our market.

The U. S. Inspector of Steamboats, for this
coast, paid our city visit this week, and toOed
the war vessel LILY Dale up and down Main
Street, to the immense qualification of the ad-
mirers of that iaunty craft. The Lily, it will
be remembered had a pistol engagement on
Main street here five or six weeks ago. and
though uninjured by the enemy in the contest,
was so disabled by the shock given her tim
bers from her own guns that she was hauled of
in a sinking condition by our gallant City Com
rnodore. The Inspector will probably give Uncle
Sam the benefit of the statement that she is
again in war trim.
