party, whose agent has just returned from
this evidently rich quartz mining region,
we are put in possession Of some facts IN
regard to the mines of this portion OF our
rich mineral fields on this coast. These
mines, the gentleman says, have not been
overrated, in regard to their richness, by
letters that have been written from there.
The lodges are numerous, and range FROM
one 70 three feet in thickness, running
through a granite formation, with here
and there a slight showing Of slate rock.
The best lodges discovered, as yet, are
located in and about Wal Eagle Noun
tain-the general formation Of which has
the appearance of volcanic origin. One
Of the richest lodges discovered is the
Poor Mans" in which nuggets of pure
native gold and silver are found in veins
Of a sort Of ~decomposed black quartz
solid pieces being taken out weighing up
wards OF twenty pounds. Considerable
metal is also found in the solid quartz
on either side Of these rich streaks. The
Poor Mans" claim is at present in the
possession Of the Oregon Steam Nayiga-
ton Company. and is involved in a law
suit between them and the original dis
covererS, and has an injunction upon it
being now in the hands Of the officers Of
the law. The amalgam, in the mill con-
nected with this claim, is supposed to be
worth upwards of = $1,000, 900. The gen.
eral average Of the rcck from the different
lodges yields, by mill process, nearly
$1,000 per ton. There are now seven
mills at work in this district-Owyhee-
and about one thousand miners. The
party, from whom we gather these facts,
feel confident of the richness Of these
minese, and will ship, in the Spring, a
mill, together with u large lot of general
merchandise. anticipating q rush In that
direction. From other facts which we
have learned about this rich quartz Sec
,ion. we are led to believe that consider
able attention will be paid to it next
season. The greater portion of the bull
lion from these mines finds its way into
Oregon, End from there goes TO San Fran
cisco. This bullion is worth, IN an aver
age. Sc per ounce. We hardly know
what to think OF our section OF Uncle
Sans domains. New and richer discov-
les are being made every year by u en-

rate we are going at present, the people of
these United States will have the proud
satisfaction Of knowing that they are the
wealthiest nation on the face Of the earth.
The CLOSING OF THE FNR.-The Or
phans' Fair, we learn from one Of the gen
tlemanly managers, Mr.. John Mallon, has
proved a perfect success, financially
speaking. Already over $500 net
profits have been handed in TO the treasury
of the managers, and their ball, which will
come off some time during the last of this
month, will probably add $1,000 to this
present sum. The Sisters Of Charity
may congratulate themselves upon their
success. Several of the tables yielded
well. among which we will mention, as
far as we have been informed, that of the
Misses Newmans and Rule. $1,000 Mrs.
O'Neil. Sl,650; Miss Dunn, $40; Miss
Fitzgerald (post ofice), $3.50 Mrs. Sun
derland, $500. Mrs. Hermann's returns
are estimated at 800. When ell of the
returns are in, the above amount will be
largely increased. We hear the wish ex-
pressed that those ice cream performers
will pass in the proceeds Of their cool OPP
Grafton.
