GROVE CREEK, Oregon, February
8th.-Parties just in from the quartz
mines on Rogue river report great ex-
citement there, occasioned by recent
developments in the Hank McNair
mine. The company took out rock
on the 10th instant, near the East wall
of their claim, in which free gold and
silver are plainly visible-the richest
rock yet taken out. Active measures
are being taken to secure road from
the mines, to intersect the stage road
at Grove creek. The weather is mild
and pleasant. Numerous prospecting
parties are out. Several veins have
been struck, some of which promise
well.

The Word 's White'' In Our NaturaIi.
zatiOn Laws.

WASHINGTON, February 9th. While
the bill to correct an error in the codi-
fication of the laws was under consid-
citation, Willard, of Vermont, argued
that the omission of the word "white"
from the naturalization laws was an
improvement; that the Chinese ought
to be entitled to citizenship. Page, of
California, earnestly opposed this, and
was sustained by other members, who
took the ground that no law should be
changed in any such indirect manner.
The House accordingly agreed to this
and all other provisions correcting
similar errors.
