Messrs. Julian Hill and VIM. Abbott,
who have Been * wdgkrunning 4 tun.
mel ON an extension Of The Atlanta
ledge, in Alturas county. since last
November, arrived here about ten
O'Clock on Friday morning last They
left Atlanta on Monday, and in going
from thereto Rocky Bar Mr.. Hill had
his two great toes and the side Of one
foot severely frozen. Abbott, having
taken the precantion to protect his
feet with wrappings, did not suffer
from the cold. They remained at
Rocky Bar Tuesday, and starting for
this place on Wednesdays morning,
got here ut the time above stated,
considerably fatigued from the effects
of the trip. The day following Hills
eyes were very much inhamed and his
toes caused him great pain, but he is
now improving, and will soon he able
to go to work; in fact he is getting
so "husky" again that we do not care
to risk making public little joke that
Bill Abbott tells on him, although we
do intend to write to Mrs. H. about
the matter. At Atlanta the snow
was of the same depth as at this
place, but at Rocky Bar it was eight
feet when they left. They speak we'll
of the people Of Alturas county and
Confederate all reports of the vast
richness and extent Of the quartz
mines over there; aud predict large
accessions to the population during
the next two or three years. If daz-
cling wealth prove amy attraction, we
think the characters Ut the thousands
OF tons Of ore they are constantly ship
ping east for reduction will be the
means Of bringing to this Territory
hundreds VI people in a very few
months. Some If the rock is almost
pure silver, and it grows nearer 30 as
the ledge is developed. Hill & Alb
bott run their tunnel to the depth OF
one hundred and scvcniy-six feet, with
favorable Indications OF soon striking
the ledge. They will remain here until
the placer mining season closes. when
they will return TO Atlanta and re-
commence tnnncling.
JupcE HolIisrgg.- following
item we clip from the Ogden function.
Coming as it does FROM one Of the
leading Mormon papers Of Utah, and
considering, that the gentleman inen.
toned is bitter opponent Of Mormon
ism, and that he dispensed justice
among those people two or three
years. is a Judge Of tue Supreme
Court, we hook upon il az the finest
compliment ever paid Judge Hollis
ter since his appointment to the bench
Of this Territory. nshows this: that
Brother Pcnrosc looks upon man AS
he finds him. and DIES not allow the
question Of religion to Interfere with
his estimate Of character, and that he
is willing to accord full credit where,
in public or private life. credit is due.
However the Utah press is to be con-
demned for standing by their religious
belief, q Mormon newspaper is sell
dom seen advocating the wrong side
ola question. But here Is the para
graph alluded to:
We learn from the IpAHo WORLD
that Chief Justice Hollister is assign
cd to the Second Judicial District.
Hollistcr is fine old gentleman, al
good lawyer. wise Judge and fine
minded and honorable man. The
Third District will miss him, but what
is their loss is somebody clse's gain.
Judge HOLSTER will reside at Boise,
and we hope the. change will be, -
agreeable to him as profitable to the
p .oplc there
