WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 8. 1870.
Mineral Hill Mining District.

Ned. Leonard returned from Mineral Hill
this week, where he has been sojourning for
the past few days and brings with him num-
her of choice pieces of ore from the represen-
tatiye mines Of that district. A specimen Civ
en- MS of the ore being taken from the Austin
ledge is worth 1918 per ton. This company
received last week the returns from the reduc-
ton of eight ton of ore worked at Austin
which yielded 1913 per ton. Ward and Nc
Donald, the owners, are Wen h1ed financially.
Ledge No. 4, owned by Col. Coles 4 Co., pans
out at the rate of $500 per ton. The Big Gil
ant Great Republic, Silver Queen, and star
Lodges rank Brst-class and are being prOfitably
worked at this writing. The altitude Of Min
eral Hill is $500 feet above dde-water, and
the country formation Is composed of granite,
metamorphic limestone and spar. The veins
or deposits of ore cut through the mountain
without any seeming regularity of course or
din. Mountain mahogany, nut-pine aud ce-
dar wood covers the hills with a thick and
tangled growth. The town, situated in 4 ra-
vine Ave hundred feet beneath the summit
contains about one hundred and fifty people,
mostly miners. There are two stores, four
saloons two blacksmith shops, one meat mar
ket two livery stables. Wells, Fargo Il Co.'S
Express Office, one bakery, two restaurants,
two lodging houses, and one hotel. As yet
there are but five comfortable wooden houses
out of about seventy homes that may be class
ed as tents, wickiups and holes in the ground,
but which nevertheless furnish comfortable
quarters for the miners, who are Injured by
long experience to the fresh pure air of the
mountains. The nine owners aud founders
of the town have bright future before them.
and can well afford TO deprive themselves of
the luxuries of life for season. II is IA set
tied fnct that Mineral Hill possesses great mer-
il AS n mining camp and will soon rank among
the first Of the bullion-producing districts in
the State.

fort it was really admirable. As a
mere elocutionary performance leaving
out of account the composition, it was a
fine achievement. fit to be rich treat to
any audience IN this country. But when
the whole is taken into consideration, in
all its parts, the closeness and cogency
of the reasoning, the faultless accuracy
and beauty of the composition, the dis

News is received from Verdun that the
French made sorlie in which they drove
|. the enemy for some Distance, killing
many and capturing two mortars aud %
cannon.
1t is reported that England will i'm
mediately offer direct Intervention for an
armistice; that Lord LYONS and Lord
Lotus have taken steps TO that effect Mt
Tours and Berlin, and that perfect accord
in the matter exists between En- land,
Austria and Italy.
General Vandertonue, commander OF
the German troops on the Loire. has is
sued proclamation declaring TINT the
main condition Of peace is the restitution
Of Alsace and Lorraine to Germany.
Negotiations very favorable for peace
are progressing.
= England asks for an armistice, not for
the purpose of electing constituent n.
sembly, but for the restoration of tho
empire, Eugene is to re enter France,
and Basine to leave Metz to protect her,
and restore order and make peace. Gun.
Trochu approves of the plan.
Tho Times Gays Bazaine, when offer.
ing to surrender, demanded for himself a
position winch would probably have en-
abled him to take n prominent part in
the restoration of France, after the con.
clusion of Peace. Gen. Bower, on
leaving Versailles, went to Luxembourg

been TO st. Petersburg, 10 go as an en-

the French will doubtless agree as pre-

Lorraine.
VIENNA, Oct. 24.--The Austrian gov
eminent, responding to the representa-
tons of England, urgently advocates an
armistice Mt Tours and Versailles. The
Vienna Free Press in an able leader de-
nounces the war as intolerab!e, and in
pkes determined Intervention of the
powers. 1t declares the time opportune
for a compromise, and England should
take the initiative and conduct the me-
gotiations in behalf of n cause which has
become that of the ciyiIizssl world.

The Editor of the Hudson Democrat
claims that somebody with authority to
speak, made proposition to give the
Democrat half of the county printing if
it would discountenance any "peoples
movement" during the present cam
paign. About the Same time somebody
with authority to speak offered the St.
Croix RepuJliean half Of the printing
to do about the same thing. Now the
query is how much printing would the
Star and Times have left if they had
both accepted the propositions?
AS matter Of justice we must state
that the Star and Times SAYS it is san
