ments and depredatOrs from the outside. The
Office building is contiguous and is plainly but
very neatly furnished. There we were shown
by Mr. Hearst variety of ores which he had
obtained during recent tour about that whole
region, from Granite Greek to Summit Flat,
beyond Pioneer City. Among the specimens
were some of almost pure silver-One of which,
from ledge on the Big Muddy, near Pioneer
City, was equal to the best Poorman silver ore.
This enterprise of Messrs. Lent and CIassen
is of great Importance to the immediate sec
ton it is in, and will, if it shall prove prosper
ous-as experienced men believe it wil-con-
tribute vastly to the best interests OF Boise
Basin, in re-establishing confidence among
quartz operators elsewhere in the lodges here
and in giving impetus to our own population
in prospecting for and developing other lodges.
We believe that there are in this BASIN as rich
an1 extensive lodges OF gold and silver quartz
and ore as ever has been found in California
or Nevada. The Pioneer owners are> among
the very few who have properly gone to work
they have entered upon quartz mining more
thoroughly and in heavier degree than any
others have, in this section. They have not
done this without good reason and great eau
ton however. They first carefully tested. by
all known processes, the extent of the ledge,
the quality of the ore and then figured upon
the cost and amount Of machinery and labor
which would be required in adequately work
ing the mne They have from the initial step
to the present time managed with the best
Judgment and utmost care and prudent econ
omy They own the largest and most sub.
stantial, the best quartz mill, perhaps, in ali
Idaho, and so have they oneof the largest,
widest lodges. They have gone to great ex
pense in preparing their ledge and establishing
their works for permanently conducting the
quartz-nlining business, and they merit, as all
will wish they shall meet WITH most excellent
success in their enterprise.
In Saturdays issue we shall conclude our
sketches of the recent tour in the Basin, and
then mention what we saw and learned OF
mining, and trade, and enterprises and affairs
generally, in Centerville, Placerville, Granite
Greek and Pioneer City.
CoNFIscATIoN LOGIC BROUGHT HOME
Wendell Phillips, in urging confscation South,
says:
Z" Confscation is mere naked justice to the
former slave. Who brought the land into cul-
| tiyatiOn Whose sweat and toll are mixed
with it forever Who cleared those forests ?
Who made those roads Whose hand reared
those houses Whose wages are invested in
those warehouses and towns Of course, the
megr)'s Why should he not have share OF
his inheritance?"
To this the New York Metropolitan Record
pertinently responds as follows:
| Who built Beacon street, Boston? The Irish
laborer Who built the Boston wharyes and
slips, and the granite stores there The Irish
Iaborer Who built the Massachusetts rail-
roads The Irish laborer. Whose sweat and
toll are mixed with them all The Irish Ia
borer's Why should they not have their share
of the Inheritance
j On Wendell Phillips logic, the residences on
the whole Of the Fifth avenue, in this city, and
of the cross Streets on, from 45th to 1st street,
would go down into the tenement houses, and
the tenants there would go up on to the Fifth
avenue
And yet rich Republicans, Union Leaguers,
living in palaces, foster, pay for, and applaud
such logic as this, applied to the South!
BRAVE SoULs.-We clip the following from
late California exchange:
In Buffalo, recently, a poor woman and her
daughter were FRUSTRATED by the heat and in
quiry elected the fact that they had started
from the central portion of New York State,
with the intention of walking all the way to
idaho, where they had relatives living.
These brave-hearted women, should they
ever make their way here, merit big welcome
OLD THAD'S MAN.-Escobedo, the butcher
of Mexico, just after the execution Of Maxi
milan, said:
I have, by the execution of these master
traitors, made terror the order of the day
everywhere / have imposed large contribu
tions on the rich, and. confiscated their
property and their all; where | could not do
it in person, my delegates have strictly com
piled with my orders
