cult to estimate the number of pipe
now running, but there must be near
ly one hundred. Messrs. Hemsley 4
Ashcroft, who are mining up VOL
creek, are running two pipes and have
already laid bare a large amount o
bedrock. Their ground is of a blacl
loamy nature and prospects exceed
ing well. The chances are that they
will take out large amount of "oro,
which they well deserve, being good
enterprsing men. Opposite town the
claims of Ashcroft Il Peck are also
running day and night. This claim is
about the best in the Basin, the aver
age yield being about $50 per an
mum. The past winter the owners
have run tunnel into the hill and
laid over three hundred feet of flume,
and now all they haye to do is to pipe
the dirt down. They have one of the
best managed claims around, Mr.. Peck
being Superintendent. Want of space

as an earnest and sincere man, al
though not anenthusiasticC Christian our
self, we took real pleasure in meeting
him and introducing him to ourfriends.
When next we heard of him, about
year ago. his name was being banded
about by the Oregon papers in connec-
ton with something not altogether
creditaDle to the ministerial character,
which we believe was brought to light
through the agency of a Conference
held at Portland. Believing the report
had originated in some of those pro.
fessional jealousies which, whether
pardonable or not, as frequently dis
figure the clerical as other professions,
we abstained from mentioning it, de-
string to shield our friend from the
consequences of an unpleasant notori-

fact from his sisters, informed on the
