more are expecting to have to do so. The
water is running through'the Idaho Mill, and
the housesof Dir. Carteeis nearly in the same
position. The Caldwell& Cos arastras have
had to stop on account of the wster around
them. Still lpricesof goods have a down
ward tendency.
QUARTZ.
At the Yuha three new ledgeS have been
discoyeredb by Mr.. Wm. Johnson, the brother
Fof Thomas NJ Johnson our Sheriff, who is
interested with him. They are the Golden
Wreath, Great Nogul, and Pacific. They
stand high in the estimation of quartz men,
and specimens from them show undisputable
indications of being good rock, to say moth
ing of the gold distinctly visible in them.
Quartz claims held by persons having the
record six months and remaining unrepre-
sented whether claimed By either sex, ARE not
respected and the usual courtesy displayed
by the rougher towards the tairer sex is In
such cases generally omitted, as it's thought
if a gentleman locates a claim for lady, he
should see it properly represented or get an
her black books.
A lager beer manufacturer has arrived I'm
town. In order to tickle the spalates of his
patrons and make them beg for more he
has packed few kegs of his best.
Prospectingof various ledges tends to show
that Alturas county abounds with lodges of
the richest kind and thatthe Idaho will not
be the only ledge paying large dividend TO
the proprietors and many that have been
hitherto considered doubtful are now on De-
ing tested found to be rich.

THE ROADS.
Packers report toe feed on the road excel
lent and from Boise city to Camas prairie,
the road il dry and dusty. The prairie is a
perfect lake; and from the commencement of
the South Boise wagon road to this place
(ahrut forty milcs) is very bad. learn that
men are now on the road to endeavor to
mead it.
This high water appears to satisfy all that
1tthe site of Rocky Bar proper is the one suita-
BILE for town. From the upper end of it to
far beyond the Idaho miil is almost one lake
with swift currents running in various direc.
.tiona, and logs three feet through are drifting
with the stream. 1t will take rise of tul
fifteen feet of Bear creek to materially injur,
this bar, but Eve feet rise will sweep the creel
above the bar proper.
The time has now come when we can sal
to those anxious to visit this auriferou
quartz region, come aud see for yourselves
but yet would recommend short delay til
work isin full blast. Houses are beginning
to be in great demand and er'elong there vii
not be any for rent in town. Yours &c.
