Ely mine when it was in all its
glory. As to permanency we have mo
doubt. The vein dips into the hill; the
ore is soft. compact and solid, with no

front vein. The ore resembles the rich
yellow ore of the Raymond d Ely.

Company. whose lines extend from the

Washington Territory. has repudiated Its
obligations to pay, and will not accept
its own scrip for teleRraphing. The
wires for some time have been down
north of Boise City, and between La
Grande and Walla Walla. and no effort
has been made to repair them.
The Arizona Miner says: The dam
across the Little Cottonwood. erected by
the Mormon Colony for irrigating pur-
poses, is 1870 feet long. 40 feet wide, and

days work done on 1t when blessrs.
Greer and Dayton. whom We mentioned
two weeks ago, left the colony. These
Mormon colonists mean business, and II
they could get along without so many
wives, would be about the best class Of
citizens that could come to country
like eastern Yavapai.
The Eureka Sentinel tells Of a pe'rl'
fed mahogany tree. about ten inches in
diameter, which was discovered in the
Hamburg mine, tbirty-seven feet from
the surface. 1t was found in the ore
vein, and in portions OF the petrificstion
pieces of ore were firmly imbedded in
the wood, while the entire tree was
thickly incrusted with carbonate ore.

from the surface. as is held by many OF
our geological sharps.

1t is believed that there is sufficient ore

that it will be kept running steadily, fur.
nishing employment to considerable
number of men, and giving the farmers
OF the vicinity a good market for theil
productions. The intention is to have
the mill completed and in running order
between the 18th and goth of August.

buffalo and other choice game may be
found in abundance. A few hundred
miles-no journey at all for the mounted
Indians would place the Sioux beyond

This fact is well-known to the Sioux, as
they number many intelligent half

Humboldt Valley, from Wells to tn
Sink, is the scene of most profus

places pours its unusual floods upon til
meadows OF lush, rank grass. In al

Where the bottoms are broad and tht
pools abundant, one is reminded of til
