Letter from Rocky Bar. Alturas Co.

EDrToR WORLD: If the World feels any
interest in the welfare of the people of this
snow bound canon, it may be somewhat ad-
vised herewith. IS
We still have about eight feet of snow,
and but little provisions. If there were any
flour here now for sale, q limited amount
would readily bring dollar per pound ba-
con ditto. But the exchanges in the way of
grub are principally borrowing one from
another. However, we have no fear of actua
suffering before supplies can be got in from
Boise City, which can hardly be more than
two weeks at farthest, as animals can make
pretty good Roadway on the frozen trail in
the fore part of the day;-and there is plenty
of hay on the road. There will be plenty of
water, and good mining season with gener-
Gus yields is confidently expected from the
river gulch, bar and hill claims of Feather
River, South Boise, Middle Boise, Red War
rior, Yuba and Grouse creeks, and Queen
River. Ourquartz only awaits the appliances
of capital and machinery to make the wealth
of this region known to the world. The Yuba
quartz is in special favor with those acquain-
ted with the leads and skillful in indications
The Idaho ledge, on Bear creek, is daily
giving evidences of the richness of this
country. The Idaho Companys twelve
stamps have been rattling away for over two
months, crushing from eight to twelve tons &
day, which yields seventy to one hundred
dollars per ton. The Company intends t.
make large additions to their machinery Thu

David Miller was elected President, B

Letter from Kootenai--Failure of the
ge Upper Columbia Mines.

The following private letter from Jack
Fisher (the discoverer of the Kootenai mines)
to Mr.. R. Bailey was handed to us by the
latter gentleman. We recommend it to the
perusal of any contemplating a visit to the
Northern Country;
"FR4END BAILEY have an opportunity to
forward this to you bya gentleman who is
going through to Walla WaIla. My object
lin doing so, IS for you to stop any of my
friends that are going to rush into this
country with the expectation of finding dig
gings on the Columbia River. 1t has turned
Tout a grand humbug. There was quite an
excitement raised here, in the Fall, of rich
dieoings discovered down the Columbia,
consequently stampede was gotten up for
the new diggings Most of those who went
down have returned, and all say there is
nothing to be found that will pay. Holes in

dollars up, had better stay where they are.
expect there are all kinds of reports in your
section of the country, in regard to the great
Columbia. Bob, mind what | say It's a
humbug, and those who come expecting to
find dggings there, will be sadly disappointed
"This camp (KootenaD is small-the ex-
tent about three and a half miles in length
confined to creek and bar diggings, and is
claimed from one end to the other. There
are some very rich claims. The gold is O
both qualities-fine and coarse; the larges
piece found weighing six hundred and sixty

from Horace Gray, of the Fourth Ward,
which, suppose, no thinks peculiarly

about this man Gray He was dissatis-
fed because his eminent merit was not
reco snized by giving him place on one
of the regular tickets, and he was the
man who first proposed all independent
ticket. He got the matter arranged, by
obtaining the consent Of better men than
himself, and took the ticket to the Intel

ed. Afterwards, I suppose, through the
solicitations of those who were interested
in the success of the regular Union tick
