MILLS AND MINES.
Col. ONeilPs MIL arrived on Friday and
will be running in few weeks. Captain

booker and Moro Castle lodee, also on Red
Warrior Creek. Captain Moithrop's saw
mill on that creek is also in operation, bEt

TIE WEATHER.
Thursday this place was visited by a
very severe thunder storm, extending down
the South Boise river to the mouth of Line
creek and thence back on Great Camas Prai
RE, leaving Little Oamas high and dry. The
weather this summer has been very unlike
last year--much wind and considerable rain,
and on South Boise river the hay makers bave
had some loss and much trouble on account
Of the frequent showers. The weather has
greatly tended to increase the sickness that
has prevailed Gnd some families have been
obliged to leave as they could not Withstand
the effects of this climate, ard probably it
will get worse as the lodes are opened and
the minerals exposed to the action of the at
mosphere.
COMPARISON BETWEEN THIS CAMP AND owYHEE.
ofiate several gentlemen have come here
after trip through Owybee, and all without
exception say that they prefer this camp as
the lodes are wider and it is easier to get the
quartz out-timber and water are more plen-
tiful and the season is earlier bya month;
and the opinion seems to be amongst these
gentlemen, that the lodges here promise TO
be more in number and richer than those at
Owyhee. The great disadvantage this camp
is under, consists in It's being SO far away
from any Travelled road.

denly. he ground his coffee for breakfast
