A NEW QUARTZ CAMP.-We learn from
tue Sacramento Record that some valuable dis
coveries have been made on, the headwaters
of the Owyhee River On July 18th Mr. NJ.
p. Freeman, who. we believe, is q banker. or
at least q prominent business man of ElkO, re-
turned to that place in company with an old
prospector named Durfee. bringing some ex.
trcmely rich silver bearing rock from one OF
the lodges discovered by them in the locality
referred to. The new discoveries were made
near Independence valley. about sixty.ive
miles north of Elko, and nm assay Of ore from
one ledge called the Leopard showed $50 in
gold and $3.50 in silver to the ton. while an as
say, of horn silver and black sulphurets. from
another ledge named the Chloride, showed the
enormous rate Of Sl7 $50 in silver to the ton.
The country in the vicinity Of the newly dis.
covered lodges is described a. being the garden
spot OF Nevada, with water in abundance, but
the great drawback is that the country is almost
destitute of timber. Messrs. Freeman & Co.
intend commencing work on their lodges at
once, and the excitement was raging at fever
heat in Elko. where it was reported that every
spare man 10 the town would leave for the new
camp within few days

ADA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR-We

ADA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-We
received, few days ago, pamphlet copy OF
the Premium List Of the Ada county Agricul-
tur,l Society. The second annual fair Of this
society will be held at Boise City, commencing
on Thursday, October ed, and ending on Sat
urday, the 4th The list Of premiums 10 exten
sivs enough to cover all farm, orchard and gar
den products live stock. etc.. ETC.; az well NJ
all other articles liable to DO placed on exhib'.
ton: while under the head of Miscellaneous"
We observe that premiums will BE- offered for
tho best essay on Imparting Instruction to
Youth. and Government in our Public Schools;
for the best compositions Of girls aud boys; tor
best specimens Of penmanship; best collection
Of mineral ores fossils, display Of flowers, etc.,
etc. The entry fees are fixed at one-fourth the
amount Of the premium; and. though the pre-
miums are fixed rather low, yet they are doubt
less as high rs the Trustees felt themselves
justified in Offering, in view of the number to
be awarded A little moro interest in these
annual exhibitions should be manifested by the
business men of Boise City who derive all the
benefits and profits accruing therefrom. The
hotel keepers and merchants should BY oil
means offer special premiums; and the saloon
keepers can we'll afford to do likewise The
second fair will doubtless be better attended
than was the first; and as the farmers OF Boise
county are blessed this season with 6ne crops
we hope they will make good showing OF
their productions, for if they do we are salts
fed they will lug of" most Of the premiums.
