ED. WORLD. We have heard some yer.
gratifying intelligence of late in regard II
the sale of quartz in this county, by partieI
who have been East for several months past
Among the most important sales are those
made by DR.. Wiley, late of idaho City who
we understand, has sold interests in this
county, fer cash, amounting to half a. mill
lion dollars, and will be here in short time
to gladden. the hearts OF many an honest,
industrious and worthy miner who has been
struggling hard to develop the rich mineral
resources Of AItutas county for The past two
years and upwards, and who have struggled,
as it WERE almost against hope. But the
bright star is at last dawning, and the anxious
hopes of many about to be. realized, not
withstanding the !" report" of q Mould-be
Superintendent of q certain mining company
in this place that we have no lodges here
worth continental d-In." SC Clark, who
was here last summer as the travelling COR
respondent of the Ofegonian, has sold the
Atlanta in New York City for $50 per foot.
The Atlanta is situated in the Ynba district
and is not surpassed for richness and extent
by any ledge ever yet discovered in Idaho
Butts history is familiar to most of your
readers 9laaslt1''j asis5l ~ = ~ -,
We are also gratifed to know that one Of
our old citizens, and one of the best men, too,
that ever went into quartz camp, is on his
way here from San Francisco with two mills
and plenty of cash to start them With re-
fer to Col John w. O'Neii.h He is expected
here about the FIRST Of May. Messrs. Mat
tingly i Defrees have als0 two mills on the
way here from San francisco, in charge of
the former gentleman, which are destined
for the Yuba district. The Idaho mill 10

many one in Alturas, as generous peo-
pie will fully testify. a ao sIEaI A01I
The Confederate Star, like the Atlanta and
Idaho, needs no praise from melt speaks
for itself by its immense Yields made since
the early part of last December by the Wad-
bingham 10-stamp mill. l haven't from the
best authority that since that date said mill
of Waddingham's has cleaned up $50, 900.
This, / think, will puzzle Washoe g or any
other man" (the Poorman not excepted) to-
beat. ie z7oIs isis 8ess i'a'
J. B.. Harris, on the Red Warrior, is still
crushing from the Wide West They are
now down forty feet and have q 6ve-foot
ledge of solid quartz which is averaging $50
to $40 per tun. VIM. B. Benson, one of
said company, will be here in day or two
to pay out big pile of money to somebody.
Capt.sF o. Nelson's mill is idle just now,
but will soon be running under favorable
circumstances. The temporary delay has
been caused by the nom arrival of some ma

DR.. S. B. .Farnham, of the New York and
Idaho Gold and Silver Mining Company,
left here for New York on the I'd of January
lastto arrange matters with. said company
whose Superintendent he has been. We
have recently beard that NJ. NJ. NcCaryer of
your place had been appointed as the sue
cessor of DR.. Farnham. But little credit is
given to the report, as we cannot think that
the men who compose said company would
treat the Doctor so shamefully when he had
done more for the interest of the company
than one man in ten thousand, with the lin
tied means placed at his command. Not
withstandiDg the General has many warm
friends here who would be glad to greet him
and give him hearty welcome, still we look /.
upon it as treating the Doctor with q great
deal of disreSpect to dismiss him without o
hearing.
We are glad to learn that saddle train
will be put on the Goodrich trail early in the
Spring, making daily trips between Idaho
City and Rocky Bar. IT'S an enterprise that
is bound to succeed and pay well the coming
Summer. ~ s
If Wells, Fargo 3 Co. would consult their
own interest, which they will probably do
they will send their Express over that route
instead of the slow and roundabout way of
Boise City as it ia now doing. 1t now takes
their messenger about TEN days to make the
round trip between here and Boise City,
much to the annoyance of those who would
be its patrons, while Goodrich Macy make
the trip to idaho in just half that time, and
don't make AIRY pretensions either. By the
way, speaking Of Goodrich 4 Mays Express,
reminds me that If it were not for them we
should be almost entirely out of reading
matter. They furnish US with nearly all the
latest news . week in advance of any one
else; understand they will establish news
depot here at early day Hope they will
will give them my patronage, provided theyl
will trust. x7h Yours, OccAsIoNALLY.

Francisco there is strong opposition, caused
by the coming on of the new line of propellors
