Those who carelessly fire the timber on
the surrounding mountain, perhaps do
not think OF the vast amount Of property
thus endangered The instances are many
wherein gangs Of men have been kept
busy day and night fighting fire to save
milling and other valuable property from
destruction. Should gale Of wind blow
in the right direction, with fire raging in
the timber near town, as it now is, Idaho
City would be in jeopardy. In the fires
which destroyed SO many lives and devas
tated such large portions Of Wisconsin,
several years since, fire brands were CARR.
ed for miles by the high winds, spreading
destruction in every direction. In camp

ExrENDED.-The time for converting the
District Court at Salmon City, Lemhi coun.
ty, has been extended by Judge Hollister
from the sixteenth to the twenty-third of
August. This extension arose from the
supposition that the term now in session
at Rocky Bar, Alturas county, would last
fully two weeks, thereby encroaching upon
the time originally appointed for the term
in Lemhi. District Attorney Ainslie
breathes easier at the change made, and
will now be able to attend to his duties
without SO much inconvenience.

Statistics of the gold and silver
product Of the United States, British
Columbia and parts of Mexico, show
that the past year has been the most
prosperous ever known in this indus
try. The value of these two products
in 1853 was about $4,000, 900; in 1873
it was $72,25S, 693, and last year, s74,-
401, 055. The gain in Utah and Cali
fornis during the past year over 1873,
is placed at 100000, and on account
of recent valuable discoveries, it is es-
timated that the product of the cur
rent year will reach ssO,OOO,OOO, The
miners are certainly doing their part
towards encouraging the resumption
of specie payment.

Frederick Douglass in his speech
Tuesday evening at Chicago, made a
happy hit-in reference to southern
affairs by showing how circumstances
alter cases. When old John Brown
had swooped down upon Harpcrs Fer
~ he had with him only eighteen
men. With these he cowed into sur
render town of 5000, and the dozen
companies of militia that came out to
face him felt compelled to call on the
the Federal Government for assistance.
The cry rang out then to crush the
seditious insurrectionists, and they
were surrounded, captured, and exc
cuted. Now, when white men, and
their property in jeopardy, ask troops
to save themselves from assassination
at the hands of Kuklux and White
Leaguers, howl of indignation runs
from one end of the south to the other
at this 'unsurpation of authority" and
endeavor to protect citizens of the
United States from the murderers and
cut-throsts.
