PROSPECTS AT BoIsg.-We lived in Califor-
MIA too long-witnessed too many Of the pc
riodical stampedes from the then rich gold
mines of that State in search of some new
tangled Dorado-to think of changing the
mind Of any one who has concluded to go to
Boise. The best way is, let them all go I'M
questioned who have the least desire to. Like
some other cases, the only cure is to kill. The
old lady advised her daughter against the
wicked WAYS Of the world, telling her, Il have
seen the folly of it, All right said the
Young one, 4 want to see it too" Let them
all see the folly of it as soon as possible. We
publish the following extract, however, from
the letter Of man at Boise to his wife in
Star City, to let those who are willing to, see
the prospect that awaits them at Boise. Three
dollars day will scarcely pay for leaving
places where men are wanted at four dollars.
Men who work here at four or five dollars are
paid cash; and are able to keep up interests
in silver lodges which are daily developing
and ripening for good market value. The
following brief paragraph will do, however,
to show how little 4 man at Boise knows
about the country, compared with the boys
here:
Understand that there is great
excitement about Boise river, but I would

here are neither extensive nor rich; but il
they will come, and are willing to work hard
for three or four dollars per day, they can
find some mines that will pay that.

"ITEMs FROM THE ALKALI REGION
That is the scandalous heading the Gold
Hill News gives to lot Of quotations from
the Register. We're not troubled with alkali
here, old fel-they have it bad, however,
little below this. There is spring about
three rods in the rear of this office, Of as pure
cold water as can be found in California. It
would be worth, put up in good running order
either in Gold Hill or Virginia, So, 900. A
dozen such in the canon-and the creek run
ming through the canon is pure, cold water,
having little or no touch of alkali. All the
canons in the country are similarly 'blest-
fine, unfailing springs bursting from the
mountain gorges and sending streams of eX-
cellent water down to the plain, where they
are all soon absorbed in the sand fats. On
the plains beyond the mountains, the water
is villainous-almost as bad as they have at
Gold Hill.
Forbes, we give it up! Bring that spring
over to this civilized section, and we'll ego
snooks." No alkal in the Humboldt region
OF course, every one who came the plains
across believes all that in horn.-ED.

STAR CHIHADoM ASSERTING ITSELF
Our war correspondent at Star says China
dom is putting itself upon war footing
A celestial, one day this week, drew pistol
on an offending Caucasian.
FALLS MILL crushing first class ore from
Moonlight. Cleaned up Wednesday lot Of
second class ore, which pays well. The first
class ore will pay about $500 per ton. This
company will be able to take out rock enough
to keep mill running constantly. We can
safely say that if we had four OF five mills in
this district, Indian and Buena Vista alone
could supply them with all the ore they could
crush. A few tons of ore from the Tiger
ledge, Sierra District, has arrived at the mill.
1t looks very well. Also a load from Santa
Clara District has arrived.
SPLENDID SPECIMENS OF Orr. = Thurs
day, we saw two magnificent specimens Of
silver-bearing rock from Sierra District.
One, So pounds, from the Tallulah ledge.
Rock worth in the mass, as it laid, not less
than dollar to the pound. Another, about
100 pounds, from the Gem of Sierra worth
fully as much per pound as the first. These
pieces of ore surpassed any of equal size We
have ever seen. They were solid, too
showing that they were from a firm ledge.
The boys say they can hardly get big speci
men over here, or they would send one weigh
ing two or three hundreds. rl..a.. ...
