PURPoRT OF THE RULE ADOPTED IN
REGARD TO THE CALCAsIEU CASES.

-
REGARD TO THE CALCAsIEU CASES.
WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. - Mr..
Schurz, in latter to Attorney
General Devens, says:
Al avail myself of the oppor-
tunity to state the rule OF action /
have adopted for this and similar
cases. While it is my desire to
dispose of the logs seized by the
officers of the government on terms
Ms advantageous as possible to us,
j, is the principal object Of this de-
partment, in the proceedings re-
Gently set on foot, not only to bring
money into the public treasury,
but to put an end to timber depre-
dations committed Oh the public
lands. To this end it is above oil
things necessary that the depre-
dators be effectively deprived of
every possibility of deriving any
profit or benefit from wrongful
acts they have committed. AS
long as these persons are permit
ted to hope that, even after the
seizure by the government officers
Of the timber wrongfully taken
from the public lands, they NAV,
by way of compromise, acquire
rightlul possession Of the logs on
terms profitable to themselves, the
temptation to continue the depre-
dations will not cease to exist, and
the deprrdations will go ON.
"It in for this reason thut / have
directed the 'stumpage' system
hitherto prevailing to be discon-
tiuued. For the same rrnsou ]
withhold my approval from every
compromise which would permit
logs seized to pass iuto the pos
session of the tleprednto,s with
any chanc. nf profit. aud / insist
upon the eslren. prices IF the logs
at The places where they are held.
If in following this rrle small lots
Of logs should remain uusoid, or
be disposed of at II loss trifiing
with the advantage gained if by
strict adherence to this rule depre-
dations ale Terminated, / desire to
make those who hitherto have car
ried on these depredations with
profit understand that in attempt
ing to stenl timber from the public
lands they will in any event lose
the value of their labor and ex-
penses, and expose themselves to
criminal prosecutions.
With regard TO criminal pros
ecutsons Of depredatols, ! would
recommend that they he not con-
fined to those mostly poor people,
who actually cut the timber with
their own hands, but that they be
directed principally against the
parties who are found TO have or
ganized and directed the stealing
of timber off public lands on o
large scale, and derived from that
criminal practice the greatest
profits"
Itis animated schurz is about
issuing similar instructions against
those who gather ginseng from
lands Of the government.

and on turning n point for rocks
an Indian sprapg up and placing
the muzzle of his gun almost
against his body fired, wounding
him in the left breast and shoulder.
Mr.. Nelson then fred on the
Indian and thinks that he killed
him, but four more Indians then
raised up and fired on him, one
shot going through his hat and
another through his eanteen and
into the saddle /; the odds getting
too great, Mr.. Nelson left them

TURNING SLATE INTO MARBLE.-.A new
industry that is steadily growing into
Importance is the turning of slabs OF
slate into imitation marble. The pro-
cess is thus described: The slabs OF
slate are first surfaced by planer
and brought to the required thickness,
and patterns are then laid upon the
slabs, and mallet AMI chisel work out
the desired forms and holdings. The
peculiar fea ure in the operation, how
ever. is the marbleizing. The materl-
al for the latter is prepared in vat,
and the slab is let down upon the
composition, which adheres TO the sur
face of the slate; the slab is next
baked in an oven for one night, then
coated with a varnish manufactured
for this special purpose, and after six
repetitions of these processes, it is
finally removed and polished, the sur
face presenting, as Is we'll known, a
beautiful appearance; and SO firmly
united to the slate is this coating that
it cannot be scaled or Clipped off with
out taking the slaty particles with it.

Brothers, are working one large tract,
by stripping the ground, and are do
ing we'll. Wolf creek, which unites
with Boyles gulch at Placerville, is al.
so several miles il length. Hosting
works were erected in Boyles gulch
several years ago, but as the dirt was
SO loose that it was impossible to drift
to any advantage the work had to be
abandoned, although the ground was
very rich. There is enough ground in
the creeks we have named to last
many years with the fastest means
employed for working the ground.
The facts we give are all after care
full consideration, and from the lowest
estimate made by the mining commu-
nifty, which we consider lower than o
close investigation would prove.
What we publish we desire to be per-
fectl, reliable. We ask capitalists to
send their experts to examine the
country. When this is done we are
satisfied the fumes will be built.

LANGUAGE OF THE TURKs.-The Turks
are of Tartar origin, and their lam
guage is Tartar dialect, and while
the language is very regular in its
grammatical construction, it is poor
in words. To remedy this defect the
Turks have drawn from the Arabic
and Persian languages to such an ex-
tent that. a thorough knowledge of
the Turkish cannot be acquired with
out a knowledge of the other. The
Turks use the Arabic characters, and
write, after the manner of the Jews
and Arabians,. from right to left. Like
the French in Europe, the Turkish
language is, in greater part of Asia
and on the Northern coast Of Africa,

A FoLDING BoAT.-A few days ago

eight feet in length, aud two feet
eight inches in breadth, is composed
of hickory wood and constructed in
such way as permits Of its being
folded up till it assumes the appear
ance of somewhat large travelling
case. When packed it contains the
oars, seats, canvas covering, with suf-
ficient space left for other necessaries,
and as the whole weighs but little
over fifty.six pounds, it can be easily
carried about from place to place. Be.
fore being put into the water, the
frame of the boat is drawn out to its
full length, and covered on the bot
tom and sides with a strong water
proof canvas covering. The process
of unpacking and fitting the boat with
its covering ready for the water occu-
pied only the space of three minutes.

THE BEDROCK FLUME.

capitalists there to believe that the
fall in More and Grimes creeks is not
sufficient to work them to advantage.
This idea is erroneous. A survey was
made.a few years ago, and the fall
was ascertained to be over two inches
to the rod. With the amount of wa
ter that could be brought into requisi-
ton the fall is sufficient. As More
creek, af,er its junction with Grimes,
has still more fall, and passes through
a narrow gap to Boise river, the
spring freshets will clear the bed of
all taiIings that may collect during the
summer and fall. We have, in previ-
Gus articles, mentioned the vast
amount of wealth that lay in the creek
bottoms, the convenience OF timber,
the large amount of quicksilver tn
tailings contain, and have always, in
the unanimous opinion of the miners,
underestimate the profits to any com
PAW that would take hold and build
the fumes.
The beds of all the creeks were ex
ceedingly rich, and were worked in
the early history Of Boise county,
when wages were Sc per day and 81
per night. Provisions and mining
tools of all kinds were very high.
Lumber during the first year or two
sold at thirty cents per foot. Any
amount of rich ground, but which
would not pay then owing to the
enormous expense of working, was
covered with waste dirt and tailings,
and remains so at present. 1t was
not unusual to see dirt worth ten and
fifteen cents, and often more to the
wheelbarrow load carried to the dump.
Besides this immense amount of
ground that will pay largely now,
considerable was lost from the dirt
that was worked From two to four
boxes were used, with small heads of
water, d but little care was taken
to keep the boxes clear. Since the
abandonment Of operations in the
creeks tailings that contain gold have
been washed in from the mountain
sides. To make an estimate Of the
amount of gold the creeks contain is
impossible-we can only say that it
must be enormous. The tributaries
of all our creeks were very rich, and
the b DIS of them have also cen, after
being very carelessly worked, covered
with tailings. The amount of ground
In this condition is not small, but
there are a great many miles of it
Five or SIX miles of More creek will
average two or three hundred yards
in width, and probably more. 1t can
be worked a distance of about twelve
miles. Above this limit some rich
mines are at present being worked to
advantage, and bedrock fume may
pay still farther up. Elk creek, from
its junction with More, is in a rich
mineral belt to its head, nine or ten
miles, but probably the successful
working of it by bed rock fume
would not extend above six or seven
miles; but for this distance it has
quite number of tributaries, and the
bed of the creek, which was worked
in early day, was very rich. Then on
the other side Of the Basin is Grimes,
Granite and Ophir creeks, and Boyles
gulch that equaled More creek in rich
ness. These creeks contain much
more ground than both Elk and More.
Grimes creek, from the canyon six or
seven miles below Centerville, is in a
continuous placer district for sixteen
Dr. seventeen miles. Granite creek is
