LETTER FROM QUARTZBURG.

Mr.. EDIroR:--As the division of the
Lords forces quartered in this corner
Of the Basin don't happen to be sup
piled with q regular Bohemian, l pro-
pose to abuse You a little for my own
amusement. The weather, no won't
there amt any glory in it-.evcry-
body hits the poor old wretch lick
by way of IN advertisement.
We have had some over this way,
however; not weather straight, but
sort of equinoctial toddy. consisting
of weather and snow mixed. The
Gold Hill Mill still poundcth and the
music is very much the same as it was
many months ago-so is the quartz
! believe, fair average grade. The
Company, besides working full crew.
in the mine, also have force engaged
in dwelling Il foundation for the new
hoisting works they purpose to erect
the coming summer on that portion
OF their property known as the McEvoy
mine The machinery is expected To
hc OH the ground by the first of June.
As this will bc the first systematic
sinking on Boise county quartz. the
result of the enterprise will be Of more
than ordinary public moment. Should
the ledge prove as good in the level
to bc developed rs it was i'll tho one
worked above. and there is every
reason To suppose il will. the prospect
will add handsomely t. the Company
dividend. and u; the same time afford
a base of operation and supplies f'r a
few more atlc.bodicd hnsky's The Iowa
mill and mine is. and has been, virtu
ally a, Il siandstill all winter.
risurativcly speaking, this mine has
been bundled up III a biz blanAct ot
litigation all it's life having some man
ncr OF lawsuit invcrately cntalcd
upon it for great portion "t tho
time since work was first commenced
ON it. .Is far as tested the ledge has
showed we'll, anl the mill erected last
summer is ma: and substantial
structure. having ten stamps in posi-
ton and ready to make n noise ut
short notice. The engine has driving
and the building ample room
for the erection and running Of anoth-
or ten-stamp battery. To make this
addition. | believe. was the original
intention Of the Company, and no
doubt it will be carried ~ completion
Us soon as the legal difficulties now
pending are dispensed with. 1t will
bc a glad day for Quartzburg when
their property ceases to be the prey OF
lawyers and becomes q paying invest
mcnt to its Legitimate owners as well
as source Of remuncrative employ.
ment to at least twenty working men.
which it doubtless will be when once
fairly in running order.
Mcssrs. 4. S. Hart. A. Doughcrty
and d. Carol have been located at the
Lawyer mine tho greater part OF the
winter engaged in running tunnel to
tap their. ledge below where they
worked last winter.
The perseverance, and industry dis.
played by these gentlemen in prospect
ing their mine merits bright reward,
and at present the chances arc favora-
bic that at no distant day they will reap
IN ample compensation for all they have
expended in the enterprise.

from, Mitchell & Marsh's ranch, on the
Payette river, where he has been con.
