OUR reporter on the mountain
sends us the following notes of his
observations on Saturday last, 2Stb:
have visited and examined seve-
raj mines to-day, commencing with
the Golden Chariot, which has inn
proved vastly in shape. More ore
can now be taken out than ever be-
fore. Mr.. Walbridge, the superin-
tendent, has adopted the contract
system, which increases the amount.
Of work done, as well as the amount
of rock taken out, and lessons ex-
penses. This Is the principal upon
which all shafts should be sunk and
tunnels run, as men will take more
interest in tho work when they are
doing for themselves than when on
day wages.
The Ida Elmore has everything in
beautiful order engine, shute, shaft
and everything about the surface OF
the mine housed in and well raised
up out Of the snow, when it comes.
The ledge In the bottom of the shaft
is cher than | have ever seen it be-
fotc. II Is full three feet in width
ano its equal for producing rich rock
in quantity has never before been
lou in 0wyhee county. They are
TAX u out an average of twenty tons
per day of this immensely rich rock,
III Q Red Jacket has about forty
tons of richer ore than any saw
else here, or in fact have ever seen
since the palmy days of the Poor
man. Mr.. Clark informed ne that
he had gone through ninety feet OF
this rich ore and it still continues
the same from top 10 bottom, and all
that binders it from being the best
mine in camp is want of size. He
has eighty-one feet of backs above
him to work out, and should it con-
tinue as | saw it expect to hear of
The largest cleanup from the same
number of tons ever made in this
camp.
The Empire still holds its grip
the deeper the better. saw some
splendid ore on the dump, which
Judge Robinson was having hauled
To the Webfoot mill and working il
himself. Every appearance indicates
a good mine, and the universal wish
is that it may be so. Judge Robin
son is one of our most energetic and
enterprising prospectors and surely
deserves success.

FROM CoPE.--We notice the arriv-
al since our last issue of George w.
Baker, f. A. kirkpatrick, Thos. B.
Fitzhugh and Richard Tregaskis.
We have also received several let
tiers from parties resident there and
large lot of fine specimens from
the Argenta ledge. John Dixon,
recorder of the District, writes as
follows:
This camp has improved very rap
idly indeed during the last two
months. Silver city is well repre-
scented and most of the Owyhee boys
have flattering prospects. We have
sold the Mountain city town site to
t. Is. Fitzhugh and he is busily en-
gagged having it laid out and selling
lots. We send you some specimens
of Argenta ore. 1t is all rich. We
sack up and send nearly everything
that comes out 10 Washoe and San
Francisco for reduction. Several
new and rich lodges have been found
within the last ten days, and all we
want now TO beat White Pine in the
shipment Of bullion Is one tea-sidnp
,aiH.
Al Cage writes that he cannot
mention the rich lodges without
sending an abstract Of the Recorder
books, a they are all rich. etc.

HORSE THEA man named Saw.
age, recently pardoned out of the prison
at Windsor. and working for a farmer in
Hartland, went to the livery stable of
V. c. Hodgeman in Windsor, on Thurs
day evening last, and hired a horse and
buggy to go, as he said, to Claremont,
to see his brother, who was bleeding to
death. Instead of going to Claremont
he went to the livery stable of Beer
Wood in Springfield, and giving his
name as George Everts, said he had a
brother in Manchester who was badly
hurt, and being anxious to see him be-
fore he died, wanted to get horse from
his stable to go with, and would leave
his till he came back. Nothing since
has been heard from him.

The RUTLAND RAILROAD WAR.-The
good people of Rutland are having a
nice time of it over the Chittenden and
Healdville routes, and some one has sent
us the now somewhat celebrated PAM
phlet, entitled Reasons why Rutland
should not be mortgaged.' 1t is written
by &C. c. Dewey for committee of citi-
zens." We don't pretend to understand
very fully the merits of this controver-
sy, but personally should prefer the
Healdville route, and it seems to US that
if they ever succeed in getting either,
that must be the one, especially if the
map in the pamphlet is a correct one,
and according to which bird may fly
some time on the Chittenden route and
find itself on the same side of the track
it started from at last. We do not Won
der it is called the rams horn route y
by the Healdvillers. No duels have yet
sprung out of the controversy, although
several tolerably fierce "notes" have
been published, and coffee and pistols
for two" may be called for between nov
and election!

A SPECIAL REqUEsT.-We desire to
make a special request of all our readers
this week. Not that all need it, and in
fact we hope but few do, but in order to
get at the right ones, we can only make
the request to all, and hope some who
read it and do not need the hints, may
communicate it in a missionary way and
thus do good to others.
And first on fourth page, second col
umn, you will find an article of only
eighteen lines headed "How to Keep
Poor" 1t is very practical and sug-
gestive lecture on temperance and bust
ness and of such nature that any one
can take up and continue the calculation
for himself
Next read the article that follows,
headed Gan Amusing Trick" That's
for our special benefit. .....
Lastly read the two lines that follow.
In these two lines, and the eighteen first
mentioned, is more practical wisdom .for
those who will adopt and make them the
rule Of their lives, than in any ponder
Gus or cable" temperance and financial
essay of many columns.

MopEL AReuMENT.-We happened to
drop into a Justice Court in this place
on Tuesday, held by Justice w. III.
Johnson, 1t was common action for
the recovery of debt, but was never
theless contested for some reason and a
considerable portion Of the day spent in
taking testimony, &c. The counsel we're
Messrs. Eddy & Myers for plaintiff and
Mr.. Blaisdell of Cambridge and C. f..
Arnold for defendant. At the conclu-
sion of the testimony, Mr.. Eddy rose and
said: kN
May it please the Court claim for
the plaintiff from the defendant the sum
Of s6l,l4. That's all / have to say.
Whereupon Mr.. Blaisdell rose and
said
May it please the Court-the defend
ant does not owe the plaintiff SOL IA,
and we won't pay him cent. That's
all l have to say.
We call these model arguments, and
they were doubtless relished by the
Court, who must have been taken by
surprise at such unexpected brevity and
relief. Judgment was rendered for the
plaintiff and defendant appealed. After
all perhaps we ought to most commend
Messrs. Arnold & Myers, for they said
nothing Such model brevity in a con-
tested case is unparalleled we think in the
history of Bellows Falls jurisprudence
at least.

: Last Thursday, while fishing in Ii

: Last Thursday, while fishing in the
canal, a son of Henry Clark, of Proct-
orsville, fell some eight feet into the wa
ter, cutting cash in his head about
three inches in length. The blow stunn-
ed him, and he was washed down by the
strong current several rods before he
became conscious of his situation. He
fortunately caught the wall and drew
himself up out of the canal. The lad
is now doing well.
