Owyhee semi-weekly tidal wave. [volume] (Silver City, Owyhee County, Idaho Territory) 1868-1869, 1869-08-10


gings, some four or five miles north
of town, on the east branch of that
stream, attracted considerable notice
last week, and as friend had kind
ly located a claim in our name, we,
in company with Bill Norris, went
out on Friday to. take look. Ar
irving at the discovery claim we
found the Martin brothers and Mr..
Reynolds engaged in trying to pros
peet with a string of five sluice
boxes, but with an insufficient head
of water consequently it will be
impossible this fall to form any just
estimate of the working value oil the
mines. We tried but one pan, which
gave few colors, but not from the
best part of the claim, as they have
begun at the lower end in order to
get drainage and dump, when the
best prospects are obtained a humid
red yards above. The gravel and
clay in these claims look very well,
though the latter is so sticky
and tough rs 10 be very hard to
wash.
Leaving our horses at this point,
we made our way down the creek
about half mile to our locations
but found the bed of the stream SO
full of bouIders and large fir timber
as to be uninyiting as q location for
mining unless the ground should
prove immensely rich. We did not
prospect here as the space between
the trees and rocks is SO thickly COW
cred with heavy growth of willows.
vine maple and other vines and
shrnbbery, that it would require
more time than we had at command
to clear the ground preparatory to
commencing. and then from appear
ances we Judged the soil to be very
deep.
I Returning, We visited the old An
tome ledge, which crosses the creek
near the discovery, and found some
of the queercst rock we ever saw.
II appears to be q kind of conglom-
crate of slate, stone-coal, limestone,
silica. siliceous scinter, trap horn
blend, tale, porphery and basalt
fluxed with silver sweat and fused
! by antimonial congelation. Having
been thus explicit We trust no one
will misapprehend the character OF
the rock in the Antoine. The min
ers of the gulch have held a meet
ing. passed laws, formed district
and elected Vim. Martin Recorder.
The district is known as Reynolds
Creek. Next spring, when water is
plenty, Reynolds Creek may prove
very fair diggings.

Au Important Admission.

The Philadelphia North Ameri-
can, an intensely Radical sheet,
makes the following admission con-
corning the financial situation:
eve have for several years past
been of the opinion that very much
Of the trouble about getting money
for the regular purposes of trade is
clearly traceable to the immense
sums invested in Government Sc
,urities, and to the fact that the
interest on gold bonds is larger
than can be legally obtained by
loaning money on notes of hand
This has been the opinion, also, of
some of the ablest bankers and
financiers in the country, from whom
indeed, wc.ourselves derive it; and
this belief has induced the various
attempts to consolidate the nation
al debt at lower rate of interest.
Many ofthosc who have clamored
loudest against these patriotic eff
-e--.a ss.~snsei~ eS -engu1fed
IN bankruptcy by sudden revulsions
largely owing to this cause, while
others who have escaped ruin have
sustained numerous heavy losses
from the same cause.

A War with England ?

Knowing politicians to whom the
question may be propoundcd, "Will
there be war with England?" can
answer it promptly in the negative,
and without jeoparding their repu-
tation for forecast. A war with
Great Britain is, under present cir
cumstances, tho next thing to an
impossibility. Our Cover IN t
bonds are bonds to keep the peace
on both sides of tho water. One
thousand millions of United States
securities, or thereabouts, is held
in Europe. An amount Of this pa
per nearly equal to the sum at which
Mr.. Sumner rates the Alabama
claim is owned by British subjects,
and the holders arc we'll awar {
that, in case Of war between the two
countries, their investments would
not be Of much more value in the
market than the shinplasters Of the
defunct Southern onfederacy. Iii:
safe to say therefore that every Eng
lishman now drawing six per cent. il
gold from the United States treas
ury on American scrip will be EN-
phatically opposed to fight. The
same may be said Of our bondhold
ers at home. In short, all the hold

Secretary Boutwell,, so far as pos
sible with his inherent weakness
and conceded inefficiency, with the
sanction and approval of the entire
republican press is busily engaged
in vindicating the correctness of the
financial policy of Hon. Geo. H
Pendleton, in regard to the govern
mcnt bonds, from the aspersions of
disloyalty charged by radical poll
ticians during the last presidential
campaign. Pendleton with a sagac-
ity unknown to the leaders of the
dominant party advocated the poll
cy of retiring interest bearing bonds
and multiplying non-interest bear
ing indebtedness. His scheme was
to use gold to buy greenbacks. and
grcenbacks to buy up interest bear
ing government bonds. For this
tho Now York Tribune led off in de-
nonncina h;... ...'---as-.. viiaain ana
the scheme as "repudiation," and
the financial wisdom Of that paper
was adopted as the rallying cry of
the party. Now that Mr.. Boutwell,
has adopted this theory and is week.
ly on the market with gold, exchang-
ing it for greenbacks, and them for
government bonds, this same Trib-
une and all it's lacqucrs are endors-
ing it as the acme of financial wis
dom. For several days we have
nearly suspended breathing in
anticipation Of an opening of the
food gates of loyal abuse of the
administration, by the jackals of
that party controlling its public
press, and in denunciation of tho
"Treason " of Boutwell, in adopt
ing the Pendleton theory. A more
emphatic endorsement of the Dem
ocratio policy could not be made,
or more full confession of the ig-
noranee, or hypocrisy, or yenality
of it's opponents than is embodied
in this one fact.
