CAPTAIN GUNsoN, of the ship Patter-
dale, relates thrilling story of the es-
cape of his ships boys from the nav
of shark. The ship was in the trop-
les, with wind enough to keep the can
vass from Topping, and one of the APP
prentices was over the weather side,
cleaning off. The Captain, standing
on the poop-deck, noticed that the boy
was careless, and warned him to look
out for himself and not tumble over
board. The ship was going about three
knots an hour, and the sea almost as
calm as q mill-pond. The lad, in q
moment of carelessness, lost his bal
ance and fell from the platform slung
over the side. The Captain saw the
accident and threw him ladder,
which the boy grasped, and clambered
up on the rounds as the ship left him
astern. No sooner had the boy set
tied himself on the ladder than brace
of large blue sharks ranged up along
side, and actually reared their heads
out of the water in their eagerness to
taste the young sailor. The boy
screamed Justify, and grew half fran
tic from terror. The ship was hove to
and a boat was lowered. Still the
boy hung on the ladder. trying to keep
his legs free from the snapp ng of the
vicious sharks, which seemed actually
Ito Jump out of the water to get at
him. After some twenty-five minutes
of horrible suspense, boat was low
cred and he got into it. As soon as
the boy found himself safe he tainted

THERE is true dignity in labor,
and man who honestly obtains his
livelihood by the sweat of his brow,
deserves the respect and confidence of
the community. If he loves and cher
ishes his wife and children, and con-
tributes to their welfare to the best of
his ability, he nobly fulfills the cid for
which he was created, and is deserv-
ing the applause Of the world. It has
been remarked that men and women
who think most highly Of themselves
and most despairingly of others, are
those who render to society the small
est return for the benefits they enjoy.
Those who fulfill the highest ends Of
life are those who do their duty to
themselves and to their families.

FROM parties who have just returned
from San Francisco we get the follow
ing items regarding the Atlanta mine,
Alturas county:
Captain Bledsoe has sold the 500
feet on Atlanta lately bonded to him
to a San Francisco company, who will
begin work on it in short time.
Mr.. Hussy, who has tho Monarch
and Buffalo mines bonded to him fol
81 100000, will in all probability sell
both those mines to San Francisco
capitalists, who are negotiating fol
them. A large sum has been offered
and may be accepted, for the Buffalo
ground
San Francisco capitalists keep them
selves well posted on the mines of AL
turas, and the Atlanta in particular
They look on the latter named az equa
to the famous Comstock.

The Boise Statesman, to say the
least, is very inconsistent in its dis
cussions Oh the Atlanta road question,
and varies as often as the four winds.
One issue contained a long article
marked communicated" but which
was most likely written in that Office,
declaring that there were high and
rough mountains between Banner and
Atlanta-th that they were much higher
than those between Rocky Bar and
Atlanta. In the next issue the article
is almost fatty contradicted, and it
recommends the building of all three
roads. Almost any one in this part
of the country knows that Southern
Idaho is not able to build two hun
dred miles of road this year. When
this is considered the matter is to be
looked at on all sides, all the routes
considered, and the people put their
money in the road that will do them
the most good. When rich compa
MES favor one route and the people
another, we consider it our duty to de.
fend the people, not because we wish
to injure such companies, for we dc
not. When they prosper, the country
prospers. The road from Atlanta to
Rocky Bar can only be travelled in the
summer time, but the one to Atlanta
via Banner can be easily kept oper
the year round, and this is the roaG
the people of Atlanta want. Let then
ljoin with Boise county and build it
Then if they can afford the outlay, LEI
them join with Boise City, and builc
one down Boise river, and another by
Rocky Bar.

The future prospects for a large and

The future prospects for large and
famous city where the little town Of
Atlanta now stands, near the great
mine that is attracting the attention
of San Francisco capitalists, should
impress the business men, laborers,
farmers and mechanics with the neces-
sity of the immediate construction OF
the wagon road via Banner. Men
cannot sit down and expect fortunes
to come to them. They must work
for it, and work with energy and skill,
and take advantage of every oppor-
tunity that is offered. To insure the
travel through Ada ard Boise coun-
ties, and to procure good market
for the farmers, the road must be built
Immediately. Take hold and go tc
work, show your faith by your works,
and build the road. 1t will be the
means of opening the greatest mining
region on the coast.

LETTER FROM NovUs HOMO.
ATLANTA, /. T., April 16, 1877


Ed. WoRLD:-Our beautiful little
town-is growing slowly, the popula-
ton increasing from two to six daily.
"A great many old settlers are coming
back from winter quarters. Among
the recent arrivals are John Simmons,
Gates, and VIM. Solomon.
Capt. Bledsoe has not arrived yet,
but will come in as soon as it is posi-
bic for packtrains to get through
from Rocky Bar. He will bring in
supplies and commence operations on
the Preston and johnson ground.
Madam Rumor says that the firm of
Flood & O'Brien, of Nevada, will be
represented here in a short time by
the former member of the firm. We
are only too glad that this is true. If
we had one or two such companies
this camp would soon loom up and the
resources increased to millions. Mr..
Algewahr is expected about the 25th
inst. He is bringing men from Cali
fornia and will start up his new mill
as soon as he gets in. The Monarch
mill will also start about the same
time; perhaps sooner. All it is wait
| ing on is feed for their teams, wher
they will commence hauling. Hav
ing no hay nor grain we are com
PEELED to wait tor the grass to grow
Henry Casey came in about ten days
ago with his teams, but drove bach
down the river twenty miles or more
to where the feed was good.
Mr.. Johnson, the proprietor of The
saw mill, will be in and start up hi'
mill in few days; then building will
commence. Mason Chapman is going
to build q city hall. Gilbert Bigsb.
intends constructing building 70
merchandising purposes. He is
young man of steady habits, and W
think he will do we'll, and establish
good business in a short time. Franz
Carothers has surveyed and is dig
cling ditch which will come in abou
one hundred and fifty feet above towr
1t will be used for milling purposes
We had quite social little part,
at Carothers hall last Saturday ever

FROM a private letter received at
this Office from S. r. Stewart, who is
at Golden City, Black Hills, we CLEAN
the following items:
Prospects are not very fattering in
this country. The country is spotted
and hard to open 1t is next to al
impossibility to get to the bedrock
without drain race, and as the coun
try is very fat, the boys are going il
blind a little more than they care
about.
Mr.. Willis is on Battle Creek open
ing up q claim. 1t is said that there
are some good claims now being
worked at that place, paying from
two to six ounces per day to the
hand. So far Deadwood carries of
the palm for good diggiDgs, and
think probably always will.
The military is doing nothing. AL
it does is to take horses away from
white men that are claimed by Indians
They have taken some horses that were
brought from Montana and the East
If they make another raid they will
most likely meet with opposition
Crook has the condemnation, and
think justly, too, of every man in th'
| hills.
