Spring Green, October Sth.

w1Y we Cdileu aC Tue MlHIil w ooictI
Mills the other day, and found the propri-
etors, Messrs. Oldham & Jones, very busy
shipping goods to Mineral Point and other
places. Mr. Oldham showed US through
the mills, explained many things that We
had been utterly ignorant of, and removed
many doubts we had previously enter
tanned in regard to this business. We
had heretofore doubted that good yarn,
blankets, &C., could be made anywhere
in the west; but the beautiful samples of
yarn that Mr.. Oldham made US present
of, consisting of three kinds of as good
yarn as we ever saw for sale anywhere, re-
moved all doubts. These mills were erect
ed by the present firm in the spring of
1868. Though they had uphill work at
the start, yet they have been doing good
paying business from the FIRST. They
have been getting considerable frst-class
machinery Of late, and the business has
proportionably increased Mr. Oldham,
the principal manager Of the concern, is a
| thorough business man, with a good sup
ply of energy and perseverance. They
are turning out very good work, have all
they can possibly do, and give entire sat
iSfacton to all their customers.
The machinery consists Of one set of
cards, one spinning jack of $50 spindles,
one double and twister, one hand loom,
and one power loom, which, by the way,
is wonderful machine. Mr.. O. SAYS a
much better quality of goods can be made
from this loom, than from any other in
the country. They have manufactured
from it alone during the season, something
over one hundred pairs of frst-rate blank.
cts, and about fifteen hundred yards Of
flannel. 1t is somewhat curious to see the
different transformations the wool under
goes before it gets manufactured into cloth,
blankets, yarn, &c.
In the FIRST place, the wool is sorted into
different grades, four being the usual
number. Frequently all these grades are
sorted from one fleece, one grade for stock
ing yarn, another for blankets, another
for fannels, &c. The wool is then washed,
and after well drying, sent to the picking
machine, where it is all torn into pieces.
1t is then carded, and after spinning, it is
either woven into cloth or twisted for
yarn. Everything in these mills indicates
thrift and good management There is
nothing apparently wanting in the whole
establishment. The prospects of the pro-
prietors were never brighter than at pres
ent, and their efforts are being appreciated
by the public. They have two of the best
workmen that can be found. Both Mr..
Oldham and Mr.. Jones speak in very com
pllmentary terms of these gentlemen, Mr..
John Dyson. and Mr.. George Booth, who,
they say, are practical and finished
workmen that understand their business.
As for ourself, we formed very pleasant
acquaintance with Mr.. Dyson and his &C.
complished lady, while We were staying at
the Travellers Home, kept by friend viii.
lams of Mifflin.

icy Mr.. Frank G. Cholvin, of Mifflin
has manufactured chimney that promises
to give universal satisfaction. They have
been tried for some time past in and
around the village of Mifflin with perfect
success. Mr.. G. claims they are lighter,
(thcre being no danger Of any roof sagging)
cheaper, safer, and more durable than any
other chimney in use. We have seen
several of them, and they are certainly
very handsome, and, when finished, they
look like those made Of brick, and are so
popular that every new building around
that place is furnished with this kind, the
new school house not excepted.

The Coolie Prospecting Party.

\ correspondent of the MisrR, at Camp McDowell, in this county, writing under date of September i6, says:
 A large prospecting party, composed of many we'll known residents of Wictenburg, Phoenix and vicinity, with provisions for three months campaign. leave here this morn ing, (the 10th inst.), for the country east of Camp Reno. Mir. c. E. Coolie accompanies the expedition, and sanguine hopes of grati- flying results are cherished, for Mir. Ccolie, who travelled through this portion of the country with small party, on his way from Fort wingate, New Mexico, to this Post, q few weeks since, expresses very favor able opinion of it, This portion of tine coun- try aud it's bearings are comparatively un- known, owing, chiefly, to the obstinate stead fastncss with which that yeritale enemy of progress and civilization, the accursed Apache has disputed its opening.
 Colonel Sanford, lst Cavalry, with com mand composed of troops E, lst, and c, sth Cavalry, and a detachment of G Company, 2lst Infantry, left the Post on the sth inst, for this section of the country, and judging from the energy and skill usually displayed by the Colonel in all his Indian campaigns, is now making an inroad to the homes of the disturbers of the country's prosperity.

Special Notice.--The following letter
was received in Boise City by ;. c. Owens;
W1SxEMrccA. New, Dec 10Th, 1868
FRIEND SAM: thought would write you
few lines from this place We had bard
time getting through; there was no feed but
what belonged to the Stage Company, and
YOU can't buy pound at any price. They
discharge any hostler who sells hay or Grain
from their stations, and our horses had to
live on sage brush~and We came near being
aioot before We got in 10 this place. The
stage Company have purchased just. enough
for their own stock and don't blame them
for not selling it. If you come, come by
stage, for there is nothing saved by coming
through on a mustang, and you are twice as
long on the road and exposed to all the
storms. The best, cheapest and quickest
way TO come is by stage and railroad, and
then you have no trouble with horse, which
you can't sell for anything when you want
TO sell it, and you can't turn it out for there
is nothing for il TO eat
Ilto27 Your Friend, J. C. DUNCAN.
