Quartz MINING IN. AhTURAs.

On Thursday, Mr.. HI. D. Van Wyck, Super
intendent of the Bonaparte Hill Mining Com
pany, whose mining claims and mill are in
Alturas county, showed US three pieces of
quartz which he brought in last week from the
mines. Two of them were taken from the
Bonaparte ledge--one from the cropping sur
face, and heother from the ledge at a depth
of 100 feet in the tunnel Both pieces were
rich in gold, and that from the tunnel contained
fine speckssof the precious metal all through
it. But the third piece, taken from what is
known as the Ebell ledge, at the depth of $50
feetin tunnel lately sunk, is of surprising
richness The whole piece weighs perhaps a
pound, and looks well throughout, but directly
through it is vein of dark blush hue, of an
inch width, and in this the geld is seen thick
and plenty everywhere. 1t is one of the best
looking pieces of gold and silver quartz we
have ever seen. The rock is hard, and is diff
cult to work, but of its wealth in the precious
metals there can be no question. Mr.. Van
Wyck informs us that the ledge which this
last mentioned specimen is from maintains
an average width of about eighteen inches,
and the deeper they have gone the richer is
the rock taken from it. The Ebell ledge is
about fifteen hundred feet from. the BOnaparte
discovery, and is owned by the Company
There are six distinct lodges on the hill, of
which the principal ones are the BOnaparte,
Sebastopol, Blue Lode and French, and all be-
long to the same Company. Each of them has
been tunnelIed, and all produce from good to
rich rock. There are about sixteen hands
usually kept in employment in the mines and
ut the mill. At present a fve-stamp mill is
used, but Mr. Van Wyck has received orders
from the President of the Company in Phila-
deiphia to purchase more complete and ade-
quate machinery, which order he purposes
soon to fill. The last clean up, of the ore from
the Bonaparte ledge, gave product of ZIG
ounces of amalgam, worth say $4,000, from.
less than forty tons of rock. So far the mines
have proven very successful, but far greater
success is confidently looked for when the larger
and better mill than the one now in use shall
be put in operation, and the mines can be
worked to better advantage. ~

THE "PEACEABLE'' INDIANs.-The follow

Of Aug. 10Th:
JUI.EsBURG, Aug. S.-We have the following partic-
ulars of the capture of train lately reported The
Indians caught party of five men, going to repair
the telegraph line, with hand car, killed three and
wounded one the other escaping. They then man
aged to throw freight train coming west off of the
track pounced upon the train men, killed all except
the conductor and then burned the whole train and
contents No trains have yet passed the break. A
passenger train due here yesterday is expected this
evening No trains have left here yesterday or to-
day. Hope to get the road open tomorrow.
Another dispatch, private, from H. P Kim

Despite all this, we presume, however, that
the General Buforts and Hancocks will persist
in declaring that the Indians are all peaceable,
and the whites all to blame

THE PRECINCT ELECTIONS Ills needless
to give the returns of the county election, as
the regular Democratic ticket was not opposed,
and it obtained in nearly every precinct the
full vote polled, without regard to the partisan
feeling over theprecinct ticket. Thus Messrs.
j. M. Cannady and j. B. Duke were chosen
Commissioners. and DR.. James Healy was
chosen Coroner, we may say, unanimously, as
they each well deserved to be. But in some of
the precincts the Opposition made attempts to
crowd in their candidates, and in one or two
instances outside of this city succeeded. In
Placerville Horatio Gushing, the old Democrat
ic incumbent, was reelected Justice, and re-
ceived nearly all the votes. The total poll was
III Votes In Granite Greek, 81 votes were
polied, and Thos. Nealy elected Justice. In
Pioneer City, Messrs. Vance and Stevenson
were elected Justices, and Donovan and o.
Rrien C0nStables. F. j. Bartlett was elected
Justice in Pine Grove, In Centreville the
total vote was l43, and the Democratic can
didates were elected by good majorities- Muir
ray and Benedict for Justices, Thatcher and
Hannor for Constables. Over on Buena Wis
ia Bar, the regular Democratic candidates, j.
H. King for Justice, with l. NJ. Hart and F. J..
Gebhardt for Constables, were elected By very
large majorities. These are the only precincts

.PHENoMENA.-The present seems to be a.
year beyond all parallel, weatherwise and 9TH
erwise. BY the papers we receive from every
portion Of the land-from the States across
themountains, North, South, and West; from.
Colorado, Utah, Montana, Arizona, Washing
ton; from Nevada, California and Oregon; from
all along this coast besides, we ascertain that
ordinary ever remembered. Never has there
been such~hot or such cold summer weather
experienced in this Territory, in Washington,
in Oregon. California or Nevada The mer-
curry has gone from ten to fourteen degrees
higher than it marked any previous year in
some places and has fallen far lower more
rapidly Thus, while the heat guage would
rise to say 106 degrees one day, the next day
would be cool enough for FIRE at noontime.
In consequence Of these extreme and sudden
changes we hear, nearly everywhere, of short
crops, or failures of the harvest, and attendant
ills. There seems also to be an unusual order
of things among the atmospheric or heavenly
/. bodies The frequent and extraordinary me-
teoric displays those of July 31st and August
5th particularly-each of which was of won
derful brilliancy and uncommon size; and 9th

Poor OLD REYNoLDs.-In his agonizing
fioundering around in quest of reasons why
his party were defeated in Ada county last
Monday, the editor of the Statesman says twas
owing to 'importations from Boise county. !"
z Agreeably to this view of yours, Reynolds, the
lack of these votes here last Monday must
have caused the defeat of the Democratic pre-
clnct ticket which, you say, was caused by
]. the WORLD. Why can't you tell stories which
do not bear their own contradiction on their
face, thou Chesterfield Of the Statesman !?
Your reasons are as graceless as your own
movements in a hurdy waltz.

DIIO4 DEAD' " Q UP U1IO IOIIOV'1u6 410Pt1VO4l
from the Salt Lake Telegraph Of August 18th:
MA1AD Cry, Aug. 9.-P. W. McManus, recently
from Salmon river and formerly member of the last
Montana idaho n Legislature accidentally shot him
self with his own revolver at Marsh Valley station,
eighteen miles north of here, on the evening of the
6th nflcting fatal wound in his right side the
bali passing through the lungs. He died from the
effects of it at 4 P. M. yesterday. Mr. McManus was
in the stage coach at the time, route to Salt Lake
City. The coach having stopped to change teams, he
endeayored to get some sleep but by some means
his revolver dropped out of its scabbard just he
was lying down, discharging, and caused the fatal
accident. zsa3

ras well known in this Basin.

Facts which have come to light since the re-
ceipt of the above news here, quite satisfy US
the statement of the manner of the death of
McManus is grossly and Intentionally false.
We believe that he was deliberately murdered,
and that his murderers added the falsehOod in
the above telegraphed statement to their afro
cious crime An old resident of this Basin
reached here Thursday night direct from
Leesburg He had seen McManus before he
left there, and a few miles on his way from
that camp he met three men on horseback, who
were pushing on hastily for Leesburg. They
were from Walla Walla, and asked particular
ly about McManus. This person now remem-
bers that one of these three men was an active,
conspicuous member of the Walla WaHa vi
GLANCE Committee. He also knows that john
son, whom McManus justifably killed, was
leading Vigilante in Walla Walla The facts
stated by this gentleman, and other things
taken in connection, are quite sufficient to
convince us that these men followed McManus
and murdered him. ~
We are told the station where the affair oc-
Cured is kept by the notorious and infamous
McManus brothers, who are Vigilantes, and
who, with certain members of the strangling,
murderous organization of Boise City, muir
dered Updyke year or SO ago. These Nc
Afanus brothers are no kin to the murdered
McManus He was an honest, good man; they.
are simply villains. There is an air of appar-
ent inconsistency and talsehood in the dispatch
above given. The matter WILL we hope, be
sifted to the bottom, and if, as we believe,
McManus has been murdered, his slayers ought
to be tracked, taken, tried, and hung.

FURIOUS STORM.--The Statesman of last
Tuesday evening gives an account of very
violent storm of wind, hail and rain, with thun-
der and lightning accompaniment, which swept
over Boise City and a portion of the Valley
that afternoon. 1t lasted only about half an
hour, but in that brief space it flooded the
streets of Boise City from four to twelve inch
es depth, swelled Cottonwood gulch stream to
FIVE or six feet depth, sent huge torrent down
Stewards gulch, and did great injury, it is
feared, to large portion ofthe crops all down
the Valley. Some Of the vegetable gardens in
and near town were quite ruined. Since
similar violent storm about three years ago,
Boise City has not been visited with anything
approximating to that of Tuesday. That same
afternoon, between four and FIVE o'clock, this
city was likewise swept for about fifteen min
utes by rain, wind, thunder and lightning
storm of uncommon severity. Squalls equal
to q gale in force preceded the rain, and with.
the latter came the sharp, close, rafting, Jar
ring volleys of Heavens artillery with blind
ing flashes of sheet and fnrked lightning. The
rain poured in volumes-not drops-and in an
instant drenehed the city. But, fortunately,
no damage was done to life, limb or property,
SO far as we learn. A mild thunder and light
ming, rain and wind shower, of very short du-
ration, had visited the city only few evenings
before, This sort of summer weather disports

VILE SCHOOL MEETING.

A number of citizens met, pursuant to pre-
vious call, at the Catholic Chapel last Ihurs-
day evening, and after some consultation ad-
burned to meet at the same place this (Satur-
day. afternoon, ~ 2 o'clock. To secure full
attendance, it was resolved that notice OF the
nronosed meeting, and an invitation to all citi-
Gems generally should be given through this
medium. Once mere we urge upon the resi-
dents of this city, and of the Basin throughout,
to give liberal assistance to the project in
hand. The Catholic Sisters are now making
the tour Of this Basin they viii be ready to
start upon their return trip to Vancouver or
Oregon in few days. It is necessary that
they should learn the determination of our
citizens upon the subject before they depart,
for manifest reasons. The kind of school they
propose to found here is the very kind of school
most needed at present. If our people fail to
embrace this opportunity to secure the speedy
establishment of such an institution here, it is
probable they will soon and long repent of their
apathy at this important juncture, and regret
that they had not seized the occasion presented
to them with avidity. The establishment of o
good school here will not only enable the chill
dren already in this city and Basin to receive
a sound and wholesome education, but it will
attract hither many parents who will not now
come, solely because they wish, next to self
maintenance, to have their children furnished
with good, ready opportunity to receive educa-
ton. And this class of persons are the very
class most needed in mining country-the
industrious, toiling, honest, frugal class-who
constitute the stable, permanent, and really
most substantial element of the community,
and whose good example and wholesome infu-
ence do more to elevate the standard of society,
to purify the morals, and refine the natures of
the masses, than almost any other cause which
can be mentioned Then, let us all, on this oc-
casion, put our shoulders vigorously to the
wheel, and push on this waiting car of instruc-
ton to the goal of complete success. With a
good attendance at the meeting to-day, at 2
O'Clock, and proper action there, the excellent
work can be successfully inaugurated.
