far enjoyed a very fine winter. The
cold has beenFvery regular. and CONF
p~aratively but little snow, which is fast
disappearing under the genial rays of
old Sol. Horses and muleslhaye win
tered on tho hills thus far without
grain, and but little hay, and are look
ing as well as those wintered on Wind
River valley, where 1t was colder than
on the mountains. The mails from
Green River City to Camp Brown pass
es here daily, and Is carried from Pa
cific Springs to the head of Red Canon
on runners, a distance of about TWEEN
ty-four miles. 1t will Oon be. carried
OH wheels, as the road Is clear of snow
in many places. We have not had a
winter fur)the last nine years with less
wind than this. We noticed on our
special mail agent, from Denver. He
is looking after twelve registered pack
ages lost some time ago between South
Pass and the railroad. Judging from
the Generals actions, one would be led
to infer that he has the matter down
to Il fine point. He keeps his W
counsel, and this is but surmise On my
part. l hope he may be able to unearth
the cause of the mysterious disappear
ance of the packages. Four mail sacks
have been lost off the coach ut different
times during the winter. but all were
found again except the one containing
the above mentioned registers. The
citizens of the northern part of Sweet
water county thought themselves about
Gu an equal footing with the rest of
mankind, so far as honesty, integrity,
charity and philanthropy are concern
ed, until the advent of Judge Peck,
who suddenly ascertained- TO the con-
trary, according to his celebrated mem
orial, presented to the Senate by Nj.
Edmunds. The people hardly believe
the statement set forth in the memori-
al, and telegram of the Judge. 1 know
of but two men who endorse the Judge.
What their object is cannot be imagin-
ed. We trust people in the east will
not think US all cut-throats, thieves
and bummers until we become better
acquainted with each other through
other channels. The courts of Sweet
water have been presided over by judges
Jones, Carey, Fisher, Blair and Thorn
as, and if those gentlemen discovered
us 80 wicked as represented, they have
kept very quiet. No complaints were
then heard from either party. These
gentlemen gave general satisfaction to
litigants without calling any hard
names, or creating i'll will, quietly and
speedily d~isposing of the business, with
rs little expense as possible. Not so
with Judge Peck. 1t appeared to have
been his desire to add all the expense
possible, and accomplish but little dur
his term of court. We hope the House
will reject the Senate bill. Hon. $. F.
Nucholls, who has been mere superin-
tending personally the Miners Delight
mine, is temporarily absent at Left
Lake on business. The mine is run-
ming smoothly, under the able manage
ment of james Kline Esq, and Mr..
George Bennett.
They are sinking the main shaft and
running a level at the depth of one hun
dred and fifteen feet, and the past few
days they have struck a fine body of
very rich ore, showing Il twenty four
inch vein, with free gold in almost
every piece of quartz. The machinery
is all new and of superior quality. 1t
was put up by practical mechanics and
works admirably. The success of this
famous mine is assured, and will GER
tainly pay the owners a handsome divi-
dend the coming season.
McKary Il Co., who are working the
Young America, being an extension of
the Miners Delight, have some two
hundred tons of quartz now down in
the levels, which will pay good wages.
1t will soon be hoisted and reduced,
and according TO various tests it will

johnson & Burgess are working the
Carrie Shields, with encouraging re-
suits. Norton & Billcox are working
4 new discovery near the head Of Creso
Gulch. They have a good looking vein
which prospects well.
The Sweetwater mining region has
some good and well paying veins, and
some that are entirely worthless.
Fletcher y Co. claim to have Il good
vein in the old Oriental tunnel. but l
am informed that it is very narrow.
Garbanati & Co. claim good rock in the
old Pendleton shaft. Logan & Rick
etts have some forty tons of good ore
on the Little Giant dumps which will
run near MI hundred dollars per ton.
Judge Washington has a fine show on
the extension of the Little Giant, as las
also Budd IL George. Livingston &
Vohn have a good show on the extern
sion OF the celebrated Old Creso vein
at South Pass City. They have a shaft
down about one hundred feet, from
which they have over a hundred ions
on the dump.
We would advise people to come to
Sweetwater and see for themselves,
