CoILINs' New QUARTZ MILL.-A great
number of engineers, mechanics and mill
men, besides hundreds of persons who
could not distinguish the reason for the diff
ference between a quartz mill and cider
press, have, during the past week visited
the model Of new quartz mill that en-
braces both crushing and amalgamation, of
Col. Collins, on exhibition near his resi-
dence ON South B street. Its compactness
of form, its simplicity of construction, its
completeness of detail, its freedom from
shafting, betting, pulleys, spur wheels and
bevel gearing, and its consequent exemption
from arrangement, its liberal promise OF
reduction in the price of a mill, great eff
cheney in labor, large saving of motive
power and consequent cheapening of the
price of reducing ores, failed not to chal-
lenge the almost universal admiration OF
those who felt competent to express an opin.
ion upon an invention, the simplicity Of
which is only equalled by its promise Of
efficiency. The inventor has standing
offer of ten dollars to any person who will
suggest what shall prove upon trial. to be :
practical defect in, or an Improvement o.
his machine, but as yet visitors have no
proffered their criticisms. We are pleased
to learn that there is some talk about or
ganizing.s q stock company to put one o
these mills into practical operation at al
early day Territorial Enterprise.

THE INDIAN WAR.

The following communication came di-
rect to Mr.. W. +. BartIit, from Captain
Wall, by the hands of special messenger.
The murder of the party Of ten men is con-
tirmed, and also the dangerous disposition
of the indians. The ten men slaughtered
were cutting house logs about one mile from
the Cutter steamboat. There were sixty
men at the vessel, who all heard the firing :

look well. Some think it is better creek
than Alder, but can't see it. 1t has big
advantage, however, over Alder; 1t is shall

give as their opinion that it is good. II
Blackfoot city is regularly laid out. There
are nearly four hundred lots, 40x1l2, and
the handsomest site for town you ever
saw in any mines. Wood, water and grass
are splendid, though there will have to be
wells dug, as the springs are too far from
the center of town, and the creek of course
will be muddy. House logs are worth $l,2;
each, on the lot. Corner lots sell for fifty
dollars other lots not priced yet. There
are five families here; seven goods ira
ders; one blacksmith shop; FIVE houses up
and a good many under way. Two doctors
have arrived, and also several lawyers, ant
lots of squaws, with a few bucks. Some
persons anticipate big trouble here thi
fall with Indians. The nights are quite
cool and the days very warm for the sea
son. There is no snow in sight.
Laborers are very scarce here. The rat
of wages is six dollars per day. There j

been found at various points. The feeling

careful consideration by letter writer's. We

on which less than one rate (three cents il
paid, are to be sent Immediately to the Dead
