A rR1P TO GOLD HILL.

a week ago, Messrs Thos. Foye and 81. F.
Sayrs, of this city, made a visit to the Gold
Hill country, and took very good survey of
that region and the neighboring camps, brief
sketch of which they have kindly furnished to
us, as follows:
Gold Hill proper is on q fat upon the sum-
NIT of one of the foothills, beyond the Basin
divide, about twenty-five miles from Idaho
City. The camp contains store, a saloon and
a boarding house. At the foot of the noun
tain, mile and half below, on Pixies Fork
of Crooked river, is the chief camp, Lower
Gold Hill. A company of Frenchmen are put
ting in bedrock fume, which will require
about two hundred thirty-inch boxes, TO lead
through the bed of the Fork. The camp is
comprised of Tatro's store, saloon, meat
market, and one or two other buildings. OF
miners and others in and about these two
camps there are only seVenty-fve persons, and
the placer diggings are not very rich. They
may be classed below average white mans Dig
gings, but good Chinese diggings, Prospects
are found in almost every foot of ground all
around there, in the cafons or flats, and the
diggings are shallow and very easily worked.
B. Dunbar and Company have good claims,
and they employ white men in them. So far
they have worked nearly an acre of ground
near the upper Gold Hill, with a hydraulic,
and although they had only thirty-six inches to
their pipe, with eighty feet pressure, they have
made good wages all along. Their claims are
between one and two feet deep, and are work
ed with comparatively light labor.
Beaver Greek, four miles this side of God
Hill is quite an extensive mining district, and
is worked almost exclusively by Cinnamon.
There are over one hundred of these, divided
into dozen or more companies, and they are
all manifestly making over Chinese wages.
Nose Kempner has store in the camp, and is
doing thriving business with his celestial
customers.
The most important work in that whole re-
gion is the Invincble Ditch, owned by james
Dooley and a company of miners, who built it.
The ditch takes water from Crooked river,
high up, carries a volume of between $50 and
400 inches, agreeably to the season, through
its whole length of eleven miles, and supplies
the diggings on both sides of the mountain on
which upper Gold Hill Is situated. The time
occupied in building the ditch was nearly three
years, and the cost about $4,000.
Messrs Foye and Sayrs did not visit the
Banner District, but learned that work was
steadily progressing on the Archer ledge there,
near which Mr. Cromwell has two new inn
proved arastras for crushing the ore.

THE LATE LOCAL ELECTION.

The official returns of the election for, County
Commissioners and Coroner show that the total
vote was traction less than LOO, while IN
August of last year, at the full general election
the total vote was 1890 The total vote in
this CITY, for Justice and Constables, on the
18th Of the present month, was only 1885, against
/ .2O9 last year. We ought to remark that the
very great falling off in the vote OF this year IN
contrast with that of last year, is not the con-
sequence of any decrease in the population or
actual voting strength of either the county or
civ but is attributable solely to the facts that's
lin the election of county officers there was lit
tie interest manifested, because there we're
none other than the regularly nominated
Democratic candidates in the field; that the
broadly known and universally admitted excel
lence of the character of the candidates was
enough to ensure their election even against
opposing candidates and that, these circum-
stances having been generally recognized, little
more than half of the Democratic voters
thought it necessary to attend the polls, and OF
course the Republicans had no disposition to
do so. In the city election, the mass of the
Democratic and Republican voters were not
disposed to go to the polls, and there were a
few of the scheming politicians who thought
they saw in the affair chance to repair or re-
store their waning or defunct reputation as
sharp election operators, by getting up tick
ct without regard to party, and, by giving it
the name of g Miners Ticket" putting it in
competition with the Democratic ticket. II
they won, it was so much gained; if they lost,
their defeat was just nothing. They schemed
and worked, clustered and worried; they had
recourse to every petty or low device peculiar
to the class, and to which no respectable citi-
zen will ever descend, to procure votes for their
ticket. They won. The total vote in that
small struggle best tells how absolutely insig-
nifcant was their triumph, when it is contrast
| ed with the full and invincible Democratic
vote Of this precinct But it may delight them,
or at least CRAFTY their petty natures, as SO
much pitiful revenge, to have defeated local
Democratic ticket, by all manner of trickery
and misrepresentation We rest content in
the full confidence that they have won their
last political contest in this city, county, or
Territory They have gone off from the De
mocracy to join with It's old-time Know-Noth-
ing and negro loving, fascinating enemies, and
much JOY do we wish the well-paired new allies.
The individual alliance of Blfil and Black
George, in Tom Jones. ranks small by side OF
this present political partnership.

Four THOUSAND ACRES OF TENNESSEE
LAND BoUGHT TOR VNETARDs.-Mr.
William Rogers, lately a successful wine
maker in Ohio, has recently purchased
about four thousand acres of land on Cum
berland mountain, adjoining Beersheba
SPRING., in this State, upon which, in con-
nection with several other families, he will
next spring, open large vineyards for the
culture Of grapes and wine making. The
soil of the Cumberland mountains is
peculiarly well adapted to the culture Of
grapes, and experiments have shown that
for producing abundance and richness OF
the best varieties is fully equal to that OF
Kelly's Island, or the renowned Les
Angeles region in California while the
climate, for the making of wine is scarcely
inferior to the most favored latitude. Mr..
Rogers, we believe, is an Englishman, a
very intelligent and good citizen.

the packing business here. Messrs. Hart

RIVER AND WEATHER.


The river at this point is at a stand, With
"a incees on the Shoals. There is suffi
cient water for small boati, and the follow
ing steamers are expected Tonight; Ella
Hughes from Cairo; Alert from Cairo
Alpha from Cairo; Tyrone from Cairo,
The Tyrone will leave for Cairo this
evening at o'clock.
The Argonaut No. 2 left Louisville for
the Cumberland river Thursday evening.
She takes the freight shipped on the Le-
claire No. 2, that sunk opposite Branden-
berg. She is also to take portion Of the
other freight of the Leclaire No. 2. The
Leclaire is likely to prove total LOSE, as
the water has risen up to the cabin floor.
The freight on deck was all saved.
The weather was very cold at Pittsburg
Thursday, and the river was full Of floating
ice. The Monongahela rose ten inches
with scant four feet water in the channel
No boat, however, will venture ont until
there is more water or less ice.
The river was falling at Cincinnati on
Thursday, with very little running ice.
The Louisville Courier Of yesterday says:
"The river was falling slowly yesterday,
with five feet three inches water in the
canal in the evening by the mark. IL
came to a stand during the night, and com~
menced receding early in the morning, hav-
ing fallen two inches at the head OF the
falls in "a hours, and six inches at Port
land. The weather was clear and freezing
in the morning, bnt cloudy in the evening
and moderating, with an easterly wind,
and the thermometer varying from 80 to
40 and raining at dark. At o'clock it
was raining briskly, at 9 o'clock still harder,
and at late hour last night was still
coming down literally, with every pros
pect that we will have an immediate and
decided rise in the river. The mercury in
barometer was slowly falling though We
fear it was not decided enough for long
continued rain"
