CENrERvILLE.-We made brief visit to this prom
iaent mining camp last Sunday. For this dull sea-
son of trade and mining the town presented very
fair business look. We saw good many miners and
lot of Cinnamon in the various stores purchasing
supplies, for which nearly all paid down the dust
and this showed that the dggings stin continued to
yield about there. During the day the stores of S.
Ridge, of Duke Co., of White tlate NJ Morrill, and
vantine & Co.'s branch, where J. Pfoutz conducts
the business, all were crowded with customers who
came to buy, not to chat and idle away time. And
the public houses of Mike Murray O'Donnell Of
Jas. McDevitt, Con. Donoghue, and of C. Hoefin
crowded with orderly convivalists, who came in
from their dggings to enjoy and be socable to-
gether. The miners have ceased to work on Sundays
because of the low stage of water and this fact causes
many to come into Centerville from Boston, and 9TH
er adjacent districts. From Messrs. Channel l.
Thatcher and Mr. Goldtrap the respective owners of
the two principal mining bitches, we learned that
never in any previous has the water been at
SO low a stage as at present. In both bitches not
between 400 and 500 inches of water now
but the volume in each ditch will not further dmn
ish this season. and will last until the winter stops
the mining for the year. There are over 800 white
men steadily at work in and about Ceuterville Dis
trict, within circuit of say three miles, and more
than this number of Cinnamon. And the larger por-
ton of these miners will be able to continue prota
bly, at work until hard freezing weather compels them
to suspend operations for this season. From very
good to fair wages usually earned while some are
reapins rich pay. The prospects for the ensuing
season, provided the winter shall be favorable
ing, are very gratifying

SERIOUS ACCIDENT On last Monday evening a
teamster named A. Gale met with serious accident
in Slaughter House Gulch, across Elk creek He was
hauling -four for Mr. Stevens of Grande Ronde, Ore

coming down a sharp pitch the wagon.break came on
as he was pulling on it, and the jerk threw him Oil his

passed over him. broke his right arm in two places.

some injuries to his legs and left foot Dr. Zpf was
called to give Gale surgical attendance and ne Is m

STRUCK IT.-in riding to Cen;erville last Sunday
saw just across from Crawford's, little way be-
low, two cabins lately put up and from him learn,
they belonged to two miners who had come from
Deadwood nearly broke. One of en- looking Tor
employ ment, found it in one of the claims Bab-
boon gulch, and while prospecting one day struck
good diggings in another place near by for himself
He and his partner have since worked them and the
fruits of their labor is abundantly told in their cab
ins, well stocked with supplies for the winter. In
former years prospectors had sunk holes nearly all
about the spot where these men found such good pay
ing diggings, but happened to miss this good thing
Very likely further searches would be rewarded with
equal fortune there, in other localities about the
Basin.
