the day set apart for the decoration of the
graves Of those who fell in defense of our
country. And they are scattered from one
end Of this broad land TO the other On
many southern plain lie the homes of those
who fell iu battle, and in many a quiet
grave yard sleep those who died from dis
ease. and in what more fitting manne. can
We show cur appreciation of their great
services than by strewing the beautiful flow-
ers OF spring over the places where they
sleep. The custom of decorating the
graves is q simple yet beautiful one, and
the day set apart will be generally observ-
ed. Extensive preparations are being made
in Titusville and other places. and 10 doubt
delegations from this placs will lie present
and assist in the ceremonies:
"Come. bring the iowers--bring fair Young

And twine the wreath and brigh feslouns

And oil from cot to eourtls hall assist " ith

And we'll approach with measured tread
where lie our fallen braves.
And with these emblems Of our love we II

As we bavc before stated at the time OF
the striking Of the big well on the Dalzell

Tested by our home operators and t nose

continually on the increase, and culminat-
ed to-day in the leasing of two acres on the

the Dslzell well, to Messrs. II. B. PLinney,
Thos. Arnold and Harry Derousse, Mr.. Nc.
Cray receiving therefor bonus OF 81, 900

Tho woman movement takes novel di-

LETTER FROM QUARTzBURc

Inc following letter from our regular COR
respondent at Granite Greek came to hand
DAY before yesterdays:
QUARTzBURG, ]. T., Sept. a. 1870.
EDITOR WoRLD:-The citizens of orr naxv
ilttie town Ca few hundred Yards above the
Gold Hill mill), together with those who live in
the vicinity, met at Knights saloon on the 9th
OF August for the purpose Of giving name to
our new town. Several names were proposed
and finally that of Quartzburg was adopted
Our town contains one saloon, one stefe res.
tahrant, having between one and two dozen
poarders, besides transient customers. and in
All comprises nine buildings. Understand that
tae Yellow Jacket Company's first clean up,
AFTER q snort run, was not SO large as was an.
tlclpated, but better and more satisfactory re-
suits are expected after they have been run
nlng awhile, and the machinery has settled
down into good working order
Mr.. Mootry, of the Gold Hill Company, is
visiting Idaho, and will doubtless give you the
particulars concerning that Company's opera
tons. The Gold Hill mill is still knocking
away with her twenty-five stamps, at the rate
OF sixty per minute, and means to "keep up
her stroke" The success of this Company is
assured beyond a peradventure, if the past is
any criterion by which to Judge of the future.
The young ladies and gents of Placervile
and vicinity have organized singing club, I'm.
der the name of 'rhe Placerville Philharmonic
Club" and they mean business, and by George
they will prove themselves a success us sing
lsts," but the ladies complain terribly, and
very justly, too, of the utter lack of gailantry
on the part of the young gents of Placerville
lt Is not an uncommon thing, though wholly
unaccountable, for some reason unknown to
your writer, to see the girls all ia hudde and
marching home alone from the singing club
We can attribute it only to a superlative de-
gree of bashfulness on the part of the young
gentlemen, as we are satisfied that their appa-
rent lack of gailantry is not chronic, or that it
does not spring from any aversion to the sOcie-
ty of the fair sex. When active mining opera
tions give way for the season, and they have
more leisure time Oh their hands, frequent as
ISOLATION ut the meetings of the Philharmonic
will rapidly dispel this degree of false modesty
which ut present is somewhat embarrassing to
all parties. More anon. c..

Rock BRIDGE, Snake River

FRIENDS PIERCE AND CoDY:-Accordng
to promise write you few lines in regard to
matters i'll this part of the country. We ar
rived here about two weeks ago, and after do
ing considerable prospecting could find no dig
glngs that would pay. There was claim here
owned by two acquaintance of Geo Reynolds,
which they offered to sell me for twenty-five
dollars. as they wanted to go up the river.
made inquiries about the way it had paid, and
nearly every one said that it was the best claim
around here, and had paid from six to eight
dollars per day. got Reynolds to prospect it
for the, knowing that he was we'll posted in
that kind of diggings, and he assured me that
it would pay from four to six dollars per day.
bought the claim, and after they had left got
a rocker and went To work, and | have not
made one dollar per day. Men well posted on
these diggings have recently prOspectrd the
ground, and pronounce it halEcent dirt. So,
you see, have been sold, and got the worst of
it, These diggings are about the completest
humbug have ever come across. There isn't
man mining here who is making over grub"
in fact all who can leave are doing so. Many
are hanging on to their claims, rocking little
now and then, to sell to greenhorns; hut that
game is about ended, as few arrive. You can
buy the best claim here, with rocker and tools,
for S25; and the rocker alone costs that much.
Several parties who have been up the river
prospecting have returned without finding any
thing. We have not been down to the lower
canyon, which is $50 miles below here, but
from all we can learn there are but few good
claims there, and the balance are about the
same MS those around here If can get my
things packed down will 60 to the lower can
yon and il don't strike anything will return
to Idaho City. Give my respects to all friends.
Your friend. 10.

OwYHEE ITEMs.-We take the following
items from the Aralanche of September Sd:
In the Ida Elmore mine, 80 feet below the
fifth level, richer ore than ever has been struck
The Cosmos mill, under the superintendence
Of r. H. Leonard, is now running regularly on
Corduroy ore.
The children of Silver City are suffering
from the measles.
Wells, Fargo e. Co. shipped from Owyhee,
during the previous week, ID bars of bullion,
worth $4,000.
A very rich and extensive mine has recently
been discovered near Silver City, but its local
ity is as yet kept secret,
The miners in WagOntOwn district have laid
over their claims until Jnly 1st, 1871. Three
hundred Cinnamon are at work in the creek
below Wagontown, and quite a number above
there. Tom Walls sold his race track claims
for $4,000.
The avalanche learns from w. r. Usher
who recently returned from Snake river, that
large numbers of people are leaving there ev-
cry day, as none but the few who own claims
can do anything. Not more than 100 meE will

BErrING-On Tuesday evening, after the news ar.
rived that the European war was virtually ended by
the defeat and surrender. not only of McMahon and
his entire army, but also by the surrender of the
French Emperor. the enthusiasm of our citizens Of
Prussian birth and German sympathizers was demon.
strated in lively manner. Considerable champagne
was INDUCED in, but the reliability of the news being
doubted by some of our French residents and others
whose sympathies were with the French, numerous
bets were made that Napoleon had not surrendered.
Quite an amount of money and quantity of jewelry
was staked upon the correctness of the news.

THE Observation-Disclosures s Lilliputian circus put
in appearance on last Tuesday night and, although
but few performers connected with the institu-
ton, We were agreeably surprised at the numerous
feats presented for the edifcation of the audience
assembled in the tent, which was literally damned
and crammed full of spectators The numerous tricks
performed by the trained ponies excelled anything
have before witnessed and the idea of goat
riding on horseback and jumping bars. &c, was a
novelty in itself.

VISITOR Our jovial friend John Early, former
proprietor of the stage line between Boise City and
Silver City, arrived in town last Tuesday evening.
It is the first time he has been here for about six
years and we have heard it ntimated that probably
he would not have come this time if it hadn't been
for the 'show;" but we think that SANDER, our
cotemporary of the Neics has dubbed a circus the
"Mssourians delight" and we all know that Early is
Frenchman. He left yesterday morning for the
railroad again
