THE i

- A
We ore informed by Mr.. D. L..
Bliss, who arrived in Gold Hill this
morning, overland, that on last Mon
day there were about four hum
dred lock mail bags at Shell
Greek Station, on the east side of
Steptoe Slough, two hundred and
thirty miles west of Salt Lake, on the
old overland stage route. The weight
Of this mail matter was estimated at
twenty tons, and there seemed 10 be
but little probability Of its removal for
the next three months, unless the
United States Mail Agent or the mail
contractors hire Indians to carry the
mails over the slough, or valley, which
is three miles wide, aud lisa deep bog
of soft, tough clay, and covered all
over with about six inches of water.
Mr.. Bliss informs us that there are
plenty of Indians there who are willing
to pack the mail bags over this slough,
at forty dollars o ton, but there is no
one at tho Shell Creek station to hire
them to do so-and we make mention
of this fact particularly, so that If
there is u Mail Agent on the Pa
cifc coast he may know the rea-
SON why the back mails are not COM
ing-aud also to inform the mail con.
tractors Of the above facts. Passengers
on the stages are compelled to hire In
dams to pack their baggage over the
slough, aud to either wade across or be
carried across by Indians--which latter
style is especially the case with lady
passengers. In this packing operation,
it requires four Indians, or white men,
who have two poles rugged with guuny
| sacks, whereou the passenger is seated,
and the poles are then slung over the
shoulders Of the men, who wade and
! founder through the mud and water to
small islands in the slough, to rest
themselves. 1t costs forty dollars to be
| packed across. Mr.. Bliss further in
forms Us that some of the mail matter
at Salt Lake was ordered to be sent up
| 10 Ogden and the Union Pacific Railroad,
to be sent by that route to the Central
Pacific Railroad-but the mails at Shell
| Creek will remain there a long while,
unless the Indians are paid to transport

Humboldt Station. People began to
get curious to see what wal going to
be hauled over this new road, so they
went up, and, 10 | and behold ! these
quiet owners have a shaft down 200
feet and a load of mineral 10 and ~
feet thick all the way down. A tunnel
is now being run to connect with the
bottom of the shaft. This tunnel runs
on the lode most Of tho way, and is
designed for q working level. Five
feet of the vein will pay $3.50 per ton.
The owners are going to take out this
rich strike and ship it to Europe.
THE GRANT NINE.
Now comes the biggest of them all
or everybody from that way lies. This
is On old mine, under q new name.
Some good ore was taken out years ago,
but the shaft caved in, and the thing
stopped until last winter. A shaft was
sunk eighty feet on the lode, but cut no
ore of any account. The severity of
the winter prevented further work then,
and the various interests of the owners
kept them from the mine last summer.
This winter they again started in,
drifting from the bottom Of their shaft,
and in q short time cut q body of ore
that astonished the natives. 1t is rich.
A short time ago ono of the owners
took a notion to visit his old homo, and
Just to show the suckers" what kind
Of stuff grow out in this country, he
took q hand saw and sawed off q chunk
of ruby silver. | am told that the
OWNERS challenge the State for the
production Of q specimen equal to one
they will bring from the Grant, for
coin. Come you chaps at White Pine,
put up Or shut up"
Il sHEBA J..
Is again to wake up, after n sleep OF
over four years. 10 Organ, once n boss
in the mine, has leased it, and begins
operations Immediately. 10 is a prac.
teal miner, knows every inch of the
old workings, and knows what he is
going after. There is good ore in the
mine, l know, for I used to work 'thorc
and 10 will tako it out, and got its
value.
We are done begging San Francisco
capitalists to come out AMI aid us in
developing our mines. We have goi
the money to get our ores to tide water,
we have got the orss-and don't care d
id. III tell you another thing-we
are going to trade with tho men from
tho "Great West" We have beer
shaved by Frisco merchants to Off
hearts content. Take my word for it,
Chicago will have no cause to underselI
the California merchant in the whole
country lying east Of the Humboldt
Desert. If tho Chicago drummer >
delivers goods at the same price, he
will get the trade. There is no dis
| guisiug the fact that the vast majority
Of the people of the above named
country entertain q feeling of contempt
for California merchants and capital
lists. Said Il miner from the "ault
sod " to me not long ago " The divi
take Thorn /; all the mining they eve
done was undermining" So gen
tlemen from " below" keep your shirts
on about tho trade Of the "Grea'
Basin" You'll never get it. Yours,
