TESTIMONY OF RELUCTANT WITNESs.-The
Sage Brush makes a very wry face at being COM
PEELED to bear testimony in favor Of the Oroville
and Susgnvie route, and thus convict his colabor-
ers for the Chico humbug route of falsehood; but
it reaches the point after wading through a long
rgma role of personalities and Misrepresentation
as follows: In answer to our inquiry concerning
the mail service between Orovile and Susanville
during the past winter, it says: 1--WE are happy to
inform him that, all things considered, it was
served during the past winter with the greatest
regularity, and though the contract is for a weekly
mail only, yet during large portion of the time,
Gen. WooD has given a selni-weekly mail"
"All things considered that does very we'll We
tender the Sage Brush the thanks of the public.
1t should have stated the above facts without COM
pulsion. In these degenerate mail contract times
it is something to know that one advocate of the
government swnders will acknowledge little of
the truth, if it is properly pressed 1t is, however
in bad taste for that paper to assert that. The
mines became exhausted and Feather river was
abandoned while its columns are filled with Oro-
vile advertisements, and in evidence against the
assertion before the jury of its readers. We care
nothing for the personalities in which it indulges
1t is probably heartily ashamed of them ere this as
we should have been had that paper classed us with
BIDwELL and his scavengers and bummers. We
never had thought of accusing the Sage Brush of
having the run of BIDwELL's Kitchen" but the
prompt application of such suggestion to itself,
should be tolerably fair evidence with the public
that there is something rotten in Susanville.'

report against the praeticaAllty OF this roa.e
/ have heard various reasons given: One of them
is that the Bsckwith pass is higher than the Da'sh
Flat route; another is that the Canons along the
river are toe steep and rocky; another is that the
country is too rough to build road over, between
the mouth Of Fall river and Didwell Ear; and yet
another IS that the snow woaid slide from the sides
Of the mountains and destroy the road. This last
objection is applicable TO greater or less extent,

interested person who knows anything about the
matter will admit that the Beckwi,h pass is nearly

CAPTAIN MULLEN was 10 town on Tuesday last

route and connect with the business places of Cal

passengers from Owyhee in San Francisco in As

Idaho want. The selfshness of marplots and ''dogs

its accomplishment. Capt. MULLEN should seize
the golden opportunity to realize hislong cherished
dream of successful route to Idaho. If neglected

QUARTZ MIs1NG OrERArroxs.-ouartz mining
enterprises are being prosecuted with success in
this county. The various mining districts and
lodges are giving forth encouraging prospects, and
promise profitable revival in quartz mining. Our
miners seem infused with new determination and
fresh ardor after their experience and observation
amidst the many new exctements, to which they
have heretofore given credence. The developments
now being made in this and other counties of the
State will have the effect the close of another
season. to turn the tide of emigration from the fro
regions of the north to its first lore, and to
profitable lodges that were abandoned in the spirit
of adventure. The Cameron ledge, at Oregon City
is now being successfully worked, and WILL in time
yield of paying ore abundanty A four days run
worked about ninety ton, with an average yield of
about s25 per ton. They have an inclined tunnel,
extending into the bank about ninety feet, which
taps the ledge some sixty feet from the surface
This tunnel is now yielding as rich quartz as was
ever taken from any ledge in large quantities. and
another run is soon to be made, from which splen-
did results confidently anticipated. At Mineral
Slide the work of tunnelling is progressing salts
factorily. The tunnel on the Independent ledge is
now in about 20 feet, and the company expect to
strike the ledge in about four weeks. Forbestown
is prosecuting the work of sinking shafts on the
splendid ledges in that vicinity with commendable
energy. and will gave favorable report by the 4th
of July. Other lodges are being opened, and the
work of developing them is going on in earnest
From what we learn concerning quartz operations
on lodges in Butte county, the prospect looks well,
and everything bids fair for an abundant yield of
people chary of giving information, but we are
nevertheless positively assured that they have rich
silver ore, and an abundance OF 1t. We hope it is
so and that old Table Mountain may be levelled to
the earth yet That's where our treasure is. with
which to build the Pacific railroad.
