PROPORTION OF GOLD IN BELCHER
BULLION--Yesterday, in looking at a
lot of sixteen lars OF Btlcller bullion
lying on the counter at the Bank of
California, we were struck by the
large proportion Of gold they con-
tanned. In the whole sixteen bars
there was not one in which Il figure

show what we mean, we will give the
silver and gold value and totals as

rattle-trap of revolving roller, jaw
breaking five-stamp mill, which took
them 30 days to get from Iona over
the mountain. They were obliged to
hoist the wagons and the boiler and en-
gine over many places with the block and
tackle, and the machinery for their l5-
stamp mill lies scattered along the road
for distance of go miles. believe this
is the company that is building the road
from Iona to the mines, direct. l would
much prefer 10 be at Iona to-day, as it
is the mining headquarters and built up
by Americans.
AS to the value of the outside mines
we can only guess; but all parties, SO far
as have conversed with them, agree on
one thing, that there is plenty of metal
in these mountains. / have seen many
samples OF ore, and nine out of ten of
them contained great deal of base
metal, generally galena. There are no
assayers in the district at present, and
we can only guess at the amount of gold
and silver contained in the rock. Nearly
all we meet talk favorably of the mineral
prospects, are in the best Of spirits, and
intend to winter as near the mines as
they can, and be ready to take the first
boat in the Spring.
No surface diggings have yet been
found that will pay. l make mention of
this fact because we have just been
told that such reports are current on the
Denver side. expect it would be we'll
to take the reports written by interested
parties with grain Of allowance. For
my part have seen nothing to change
the opinion had of this range of noun
tains before leaving Phoebe. l still
think this range OF mountains contain
plenty of the precious metals, and il re-
ports can be relied upon thousands of
people are coming here as soon as Spring
opens, and prospects are favorable for
the opening up of one of the richest
districts in the Rocky mountain range.
We struck nothing that looked as though
color could be found until We struck
the San Juan. I shall advise all persons,
business men or miners, who contem-
plate looking for fortune in the San
Juan mountains, not to think OF coming
here until May. The names Of the per.
sons mentioned in this are all Of our
party who are here. The rest of them
are on the Animus or between here and
there.
Board can be had here for 70 cents tc
81 per day; grain four cents; -four SIC
per cwt. bacon SO cents; sugar the same
and other things in proportion. A good
beef steer can be bought from $40 te
$50.
Seven wagons. some Of them with fam
lilies, have Just arrived here, expecting tt
be able to get through, but it will be i'm
possible for them to do so. Prospectorl
are coming in here from the Denver sid'
every day, but most of them, as far as
can learn, have made up their minds tc
send their stock about 40 miles south o
here, where it is said they can be win
tered, as the snow never falls very deel
there, or return to Santa Fe or som,
other place south Of here 10 winter
Hoping this will reach you before tn
snow is all gone from the highest peak
and will find you well,
remain, yours truly,

This town lies east of the Cuyahoga
river one mile, and south of the south
line of Portage county one-half mile,
1t has a good many inhabitants, but
the present panic has thrown quite a
number of them out of employment.
It has shops and factories like towns
of its size generally have; and besides
this it has a railroad, which starts at
this place and runs to Destruction.
The Depot is near the square, but the
water tank is situated on North High
street, No. 10. The water lis colored
some, but many prefer it to clear wa
ter, as it raises steam quicker. But at
the same time it runs. a train at q
greater risk, to the other end of the
route-a town called Destruction.
The Postmaster at this place resign
ed the Office, to the satisfaction of
most of its patrons here, aud an cleo
ton was ordered to be held on the
18th inst, and as usual in such cases,
there was more than one aspirant for

CONFIDENCE cannot be restored by
artificial contrivances of the Govern
ment, When the people pay more to
the tax-gatherer than the net proceeds
of labor, and the payments go out to
Europe to meet the interest upon
bonds held by non-producers, bank
ruptcy must follow. la the Southern
States the payment of interest upon
the State, municipal and railroad in
doFsed debts, contracted for the most
part by irresponsible rulers and usHrp-
ed governments, demands from the
people larger percentage than the
actual profits of regular and healthy
labor. The question ia forcing itself
daily more and more upon the public
mind whether the people should not
be relieved from such oppression by
forciny the non producers to wait for
their ill-gotten dues. A congress of
the Southern States to take into CON
sideration a general plan of relief
f.om the unjust Indebtedness which
has been saddled upon their people
might go far to solve the difflculty.-
