TIE OnsaoN BONANZA. - That the
mountains or Oregon are filed with min
eral wealth cannot be denied. The dew
elopments recently made by prospectors
in the Galice Greek region, and par
ticularly on the " Yank," or Mammoth
Ledge, are beginning to excite interest
and the attention they deserve. Claim
owners have been busily engaged in
developing the original ledge as far and
fast as the weather and circumstances
would permit, until now the richness OF
the ledge is as surely established as its
extent, and Of proportionate character.
Surveyors have "chained" the ledge
where it proved 210 feet in width, and
nowhere ia it less than 100 feet on the
groupings. Parties have visited it from
California, Nevada and other mining
regions, and all unite in asserting it the
largest ledge ever discovered. As yet
little less than the groupings have been
tested, yielding according to selection,
from trife to $500 per ton. We have
seen ore from various portions Of the
ledge which compares favorably with the
best specimens from. the Comstock. It
is asserted by experienced miners that
the ledge viii pay to work all the way
across. We have been shown some ore
taken from one of the veins, which was
Eve feet in width, which is almost pure
silver. The ledge-that is the crop
pings-shows numerous veins Of rich
ore running all through it, from one to
ten feet in width, and it is supposed,
Judging from experience in other mines,
that these veins will all unite and form
one compact body Of rich ore at GER
tain depth. Mr.. Raymond, Of the ia
NOUS Raymond & Eli mins of Nevada,
we are told. visited the ledge 3 few days
since, and remarked that he !" had tray
eled long way to see that ledge, and
would travel two thousand milos to see
. larger one, if it could be found, even
If he knew there was nothing in it."
He pronounced it the largest ledge in
the world. -Bulleiin.

that the expedition last spring did

raised their native flag and gazed away

CHEERFUL PREDIcr1oNs.-Gen. Miller,
in letter to Mr.. Ball, of this place,
dated San Francisco. the LIST inst, says:
"This city is improving with wonder
full rapidity. What with the great bon
ANA, the prospect of good crops and of
an immense immigration to the State,
it is thought this will be the most pros
porous year California has ever exper-
fenced and this great prosperity here
must before the year closes, extend to
Washington Territory. So tell our
people to be of good cheer, stay at
home and all will yet be well. I see a
good many ofour people are down here,
and most of them have made mistake
in coming, as every employment here
is overdone. Nine out of ten of them
would have done better to have remained
in the Territory"

A New ENTERPRISE. company has
been incorporated under the name of
the Olympia Lumber Manufacturing
Company, to build and manage tide
mill on the eastern arm of Budd's In
let. The project embraces the con-
struction of bridge on Third Street,
connecting Swantown and this place,
which will be great convenience to
the public living in the lower part of
town. The capital to build the mill
and dam, is to be obtained from the
sale of stock issued in shares of $40
each. The project is believed to be
altogether feasible and profitable in
vestment for men of small means as
we'll as the capitalist. In our next is
sue We will give further particulars of
the proposed enterprise.

ters-a committee which even the Dis
patch patted on the back, and whose
report it endorsed in advance"-we are
accused not only of favoritism, but it
is intimated that the Auditor has been
bribed by Hill Harmon; and in the sue
ceeding sentence it is charged quite as
boldly that we have bought Hill Har-
mons vote in the next Legislature for
ourself for Territorial Auditor, and in
the same paragraph that the removal of
the Courier Office into our building is
the cause of the alleged Partially for
Harmon. This is just like the special
pleading of a lawyer who has hard
case TO argue. He relies upon a null
tiplicity of "points," no matter how
they may conflict, or how frivolous they
may be in their nature. 1t has, how
ever, become an axiom that the dog
which runs after many hares catches
none,' and this is the effect of such
" scattering" charge just now. The
publicis too intelligenta jury to be "ruh"
by such devices or appliances as con-
stitute the stock in trade of majority
of the modern disciples of Blackstone,
and it will be found difficult job to
make them believe that we own and
can dictate the course of such men as
DR.. O'Strander, Judge Lowe, or Stephen
Judson, Esq.
The article is illogical and weak. It
contains its own reply, and would never

of trumpets and with such distinguished

SUICIDE AT SEATTLE.-The Dispatch
says that James Mckay, tanner by
trade, committed suicide at Seattle on
the LIST inst, by taking strychnine. The
following particulars are given: The
deceased was about fifty years of age
and had lived upon the Sound ten or
fifteen years. Several years ago he
killed man who was trying to force
his way into his cabin at night, and
though acquitted of criminal intent, the
deed has weighed heavily upon his spir-
its ever since, subjecting him to moods
of dependency whenever he had other
causes of mental irritation. He has,
however, in the mean time, been an in
dustrious, Woodworking man, attending
strictly to business and addicted to no
bad habits, and had the confidence and
respect of Mr.. Baxter, his employer,
for whom he had worked in the tannery
for several years. About three years
ago, he married a widow with large
family of young children in destitute
circumstances, and has been kind and
liberal husband and father. During
the past season, he invested his accumu-
lations with partner in the purchase
of Mr.. Baxter's interest in the tannery,
and subsequently purchased his part
ners interest, by which he assumed liza
bilities which he depended upon col
lections from the sale of leather to meet.
Failing in his collections, he became
embarrassed and respondent, and sought
escape by suicide. Immediately after
he had swallowed the poison he repent
ed the act, told his wife what he had
done, and asked for medical help, which
was soon procured but without avail.

INCREASINGLY Cool. The Iitelli-
gencer, in abiding to the recent official
changes, says:
"The people of this Territory have reason
to be gratified with these appointments. We
congratulate them upon the result, and are
tons which have been made, but because of
the admirable and just change of policy in
dicated on the part of the President in here
after making his appointments Of officials
tory, to the exclusion of nonresident office
seekers"
That is about the coolest assumption
We have met with in all our journalistic
experience. It indicates how easily a
lawyer can pettifog" when be sees q
chance to make something by it. The
fact is that Judge Lewis and Attorney
Wingard are ofice-holders of the most
chronic sort, veritable Barnacles, ready
to accept anything in the line of Office
or of official promotion. The worst fea-
ture OF the present case is, however,
that both the incumbents already held
fat stalls at the crib, while there are
many lean kline, just as deserving, who
have never been allowed smell of the
good things provided for the faithful.
This objection out-weighs that of local
habitation Of an applicant when ap-
pointed, and has produced severe heart
burnings among some old-line Repub-
lcans whose claims have been persist
emily set aside to advance the pretensions
of two or three pets having friends cat
