Our Mines.

The opinion expressed by the HER
AID some months ago that the min
eral discoveries in Holcomb Valley
would prove the loadstone that would
draw the vanguard of the army of
miners who would at no distant day
develop mining district which for
extent and richness will astonish even
the old California or Nevada miners,
is likely to prove correct in very
short time. Already many new
lodges have been discovered which
trial assays show to be wonderfully
rich. Almost daily persons from Hol-
comb Valley and vicinity arrive in
this city with specimens of both gold
and silver being rock that are so rich
as to almost create doubt of their
genuineness. Experienced miners
believe that iii the Spring many hun
dreds of prospectors will seek the re-
gion round about Panamint and Hol-
comb Valley, and that their prospect
ing will furnish employment for thou
sands of men and develop mineral
wealth so great that we can now scarce
ly conceive its immensity. A mill
will soon be crushing the rock of the
Holcomb Valley Gold Mountain.
Other mills will be taken into the
same locality and thus furnishing
means for prospecting and developing
new lodges as fast as discovered

Siskiyou County Fair.

YREKA, October 9TH. - The ninth
annual Fair of the Siskiyou county
Agricultural Society commenced to-
day. The exhibition of stock is limit
ed, but rare. 1t is said, however, this
department does and will surpass all
previous fairs in point of excellence.
Stock is arriving hourly, and before
tomorrow night many additions will
be made, and without doubt there will
be the finest display of blooded stock
ever witnessed in this county. The
Society have spared no expense in inn
proving their grounds, and have en-
deavored to please and accommodate
all. The track is in splendid condi-
ton, and it is expected good time will
be made by the colts entered for the
Society purse of $3.50. In the pavilion
the entries are yet very small, but ad-
ditions are being made hourly, and
before tomorrow night there Will be
fine display. There are many arti-
cles of merit.
