SOME OF OUR QUARTZ MINES.
A Visit by World Reporter to the Mines in
the Gambrinus District-Rich Lodges. Ex-
tensive Developments, &C., &c.

The Sub Rosa was first discovered
about two years ago by Hooten and
Elliot. 1t is distant about nine miles
in a north-easterly direction from Ida
no City, by the road travelled; but in
an air line not more than six or seven
miles. From the date of it's discovery
up to the present summer but compar-
atively little prospecting has been
done, but for the past two months our
citizens have displayed commcndable
zeal Ia that direction, and to their in
dustry the public is indebted for the
most important discoveries ever made
in Boise county. 1t is a well-estab-
lished fact now that the Sub Rosa is a
true and permanent ledge, continuous
in depth and length 1t has been
traced for a distance of more than two
miles east and west and the following
locations made: The first location
west of the Sub Rosa is that of Messrs.
Bryon, Barry & Geary; the next is
Rush & Fosters location; Stewart
& Holland; and then comes the Forest
King, owned by Daley & Geary. The
extreme western discovery is the Ida
Toland, owned by Tincher, Tolalld and
Strong. There are points along the
ledge where it disappears beneath the
surface, but in the distance named il
does not fail to crop out in a true line
at such short intervals as to make it
appear that it is one continuous, main
lead, of mammoth proportions and
great richness. In every instance
where developed welI-defned, clay
scanned walls are present, with a reg
ular, uniform dip to the south, the ore
having the same characteristics, and
in all cases containing free gold. The
Magma Charta Mine,
which is situated between the Forest
King and the Ida Toland, does not APP
pear to be on the Sub Rosa ledge, but
is adjacent to it. This ledge is small
50 far as prospccte1, bat very rich.
Sufficiently 50 to pay we'll for work
ing, even though it should not increase
in size.
The small lead recently purcha ed
by Robbins, Reynolds and TravilIion
from Brvon & Gcary is little to one
side of the main ledge. 1t is small,
bat richer than any other lead in the
There is little risk in
saying that the whole vein will 20 up
into the hundreds by ordinary work
ing process.
There are innumerabe small spurs
and lunches Of goId-beariug quartz all
the hills in that vicinity, and
the old Gambrinus mine that paid so
largely years ago while it lasted, was
simply one of those lunches. The i'm
preston has prevailed to a large ex-
tent that all the quartz of this county
was superficial and lay in cash veins,
but recent developments show that the
Sub Rosa is a true assure vein beyond
doubt The @ S
Ida Toland
Mine is the furthest west of any Of
the discoveries made in that vicinity.
1t has been worked by an open cut
and only to the depth of about twelve
feet, and in Hngth not more than
about thirty feet. 1t presents the APP
pearance of a double ledge, not less
than thirty feet wide, the greater por-
ton of it being paying ore, some of it

TROUBLE ALL RoUND.-Whie the
strikers and rioters in nearly all the
eastern cities are creating alarm and
spreading dismay by stopping rail-
road trains and making demonstra-
tons, threatening the peace and safe,
ty of life and property; and while the
Indians on our borders are DESTROYING
lives and property of our people, the
hoodum element of San Francisco is
creating alarm and CONSERVATION by
their unlawful demonstrations against
the peace and security of that city.
The pretext is opposition to Chinese
labor; but the jist of it is, everlasting
cussedncss, carried on by irresponsi-
BILE hoodlums who never work or do
anything else but mischief.
Fourffths of the people of this
coast are opposed to Chinese immigra-
ton, but tour-ffths Of them are also
opposed to lawlessness and violence
as remedy for existing ills.

\ Revision Of the Common
school NYAicIn Needed.

The defects OF the common school sys'
TEN in Massachusetts are attracting at,
tention 10 that commonwealth. The sys
TEN is costly and cumbrous, but the bet
ter opinion seems to be that II is over
done. There is too much cf it. 1t covers
80 much ground that it is thin. The
scholars are taught twenty branches Of
education between the ages Of four and
fourteen, whereas two OR three would be
all sufficient. Their attention is scattered
upon crest variety OF irrelevant learn
ing to the detriment Of u practical and
sound foundation. Substance is Sacri-
feed to show, and the graduates are
turned out accomplished noodles Much
Of this criticism bears with equal weight
upon the System everywhere, which is
rapidly advancing along the same track
and substituting precOcious examining
for judicious instruction in the commoner
branches Of education. There cannot be
too much haste in arresting this vicions
style Of teaching, which gives to children
n smattering knowledge Of many things
and sound instruction in no single branch
OF learning.

that by accident they were made to bear

better prepared for by the warning light
Of the Pittsburgh Conlagration. They
claim that disturbance which had

Pittsburgh.
Gazette Of yesterday.
No important alteration can be noted
in the movements Of business in banking
circles. Everything is quiet, although a
slight ripple OF improvement may be
noted in connection with tho resumption
OF trade in some quarters. Counter bust
ness and discount transactions are alike
limited, with rates holding easy at Gas
per cent on gilt.edged to prime CONNER:
,cial paper at the banks. This state OF
affairs Is likely to continue during the
greater part Of August, when it is to be
hoped the fall trade will find our banking
interests in good shape to aid the re-
sumption Of activity. Although money
is very abundant and discounts are dull,
we believe that our banks are very gem
orally avoiding the danger to which
plethorio and stagnaut money markets
are likely to lead. For the present We
hope for nothing more than continue:
ton of the usual routine business, and
cannot expect any visible improvement
in affairs until the month draws to a
close.
Some fears are expressed that the pass
ing OF the Pennsylvania dividend, news
Of which was received here to-day, may
cause trouble through banks and tinan'
cial institutions whose rules no not per.
nit to loan on non.dividend paying
stocks, throwing on the street the shares
held by them as collateral. The amount
no held is considerable no doubt, and this
with other causes is likely to cause some
depression, but the main effect Of the step
has already been discounted, and We do
not anticipate serious complications as
its result outside Of the Interests imme-
diately connected with the stock.
