FROM OWYHEE.

We were showna letter written by Henry
Martin ESQ., of Ruby city, dated May 4th, in
which hedescribes an attack by the Indians
upon some men who were working out
assessments on quartz lodges, about six miles
from Ruby city. The men were driven off,
and all their provisions, blankets, &c. cap
tured. Themen came in to Ruby city in
great haste, where body of men were or
ganizing to return and give battle to the In
dams. This is the same band who fought the
settlers last spring, when James Carroll and
Mr. Jordan were killed. The writer also
states that the first pack-trai arrived at
Silver and Ruby cities on the Sd of May, and
in good time, as there had been no -four in
camp for two weeks prior, the miners living
on beans straight. The snow is gradually
disappearing and portions of the side hills
are once more seen, after lapse of over FIVE
months, (pretty good for an Italian winter
Captain Perce's saddle train arrived on the
Sd. Quiteial.arge crowd ofminers got in with
it. They represent the road as being in a
good condition, and in a few weeks stages
will make regular trips. Everything looks
promising, and hope is firmly set on the
countenance OF every man there.

got at work.
GOLD HIDB.-Several claims are working
great difficulty exists among claim holders to
procure dumping ground.
NORTH Elk CREEK.-Seventeen hill claims
are working day and night. \
YUBA HILL.-SteYenson & Co. cleaned up
$1o,o 0o-fo four days run.
CALIFORNIA HILL.-Hydraulics are all at

LAsP CHANCE BAR.-Wood & Hawkins
claims on this bar are turning out finely.
Several sales have been made of mining
ground in this locality.
BUENA VISTA BAR.-Wm. Jack cleaned up
$4,000 in five days run. Mobiles, Sanders 4
Co., Jackson, and Harbinson, have been at

Over 1900 men are kept out of work by the

gan & Co., and Regan & McDonough have got

ty is held at high figures.

THE New ROAD VIA SUsANvILLE.-From Mr..
Geo. F. Nourse, of Chico Landing, Califor-
MIA, we derive some information relative to
the new route to this country from Chico, via
Susanyille and Ruby City-the road over
which Mr.. Nourse recently made the trip to
this city. Messrs. Pierce, Francis & Co.
have already started their passenger trains
from Chico, and by the first of June
will have the stages at the stations as
far as Susanyile. Seventy-fve dollars will
be charged on the stage line. At present by
the trains, the rates are fifty dollars-the
passengers furnishing their own provisions,
which are carried without extra charge by
the company. During the Summer the Com
pany expect to be able to take passengers
through from San Francisco TO this Basin in
from eight to ten days time. The total dis
lance from Chico to Idaho City is estimated
at 425 miles, as follows: From Chico to Big
Meadows, 65 miles; Big Meadows to Susan
vile, 80; thence to Surprise Valley, 80;
through Surprise Wiley to Milk Ranch, % !;
from Milk Ranch to the point where the road
leaves the Valley, Is; thence to Puebla, so /;
thence to Owyhee River, SO; from the river
to Ruby City, 55; 80 miles from the river to
Boise City; thence IS miles to Idaho City.
Freight need not necessarily go to Ruby City,
as a. cutoff can be made near that place
saving fifteen miles. In regard to freight,
Mr.. Nourse, who is forwarding commission
merchant, contracts to furnish merchandise
from Chico to the Boise Basin at fourteen
cents per pound. During the Summer, he
thinks the figures can be reduced to eleven
cents. The freight on goods from San Fran
cisco to Chico does not exceed ree7fourths
ola centincluding all charges. The expense
of passengers between the same points is
about $4,000 This road is very nearly on a
straight line between Idaho City and Chico,
and is represented to pass oVera good natural
grade nearly the entire distance, through q
fine grazing country. The many favorable
qualities of this road must operate largely in
its favor with the business community of this
Territory, and there is not much doubt that
before the Summer is over it will become the
main thoroughfare of the California emigra-
ton and of Idaho freight.
