BANK OF ENGLAND orEs.-Few of
the persons who handle Bank Of Eng
land notes ever think of the amount
of labor and in .enuity that is expend-
ed on their production. These notes
are made from pure white linen cut
tings, never from rags that have been
worn. They have been manufactured
for nearly two hundred years by the
same family. the Portals. Protestant
refugees. So carefully is the paper
prepared that even the Number of dips
into the pulp made by each workman
is registered on dial by machinery,
and the sheets are carefully counted
and booked to each person through
whose hands they pass. The print
ing is done by most curious process
in Mr.. Goes department in the bank
building. There is an elaborate ar
rangement for securing that no note
shall be like any other in existence.
Consequently there never was du.

LETTER FROM r. M. VALENTINE.
New YoRK, January 90, 1878.

prised and pleased on taking up a
package of the World just received
this evening, to open one of January
18th and see an item headed Sixty
Thousand a Day." which l knew had
been taken from your namesake here
in New York; but what pleased me
more was the little paragraph on the
inside, which you devoted to it, show
ing that / had not yet reached that
stage spoken of in the Bible which
says that "The places that knew him
shall know him him no MORE" or
words to that effect, as Josh Billings
says. I have had the WORLD right
along, thanks to the kindness of my
respected mother in-law, and although
it is six years since | left Idaho and
the paper has changed hands since
then, still enjoy reading it as much
as I did when / stretched myself out
behind the stove in the old st IRE of
Vantine & Co., in the cold winter
nights and had nothing else to read.
I always GO for the locals to sec if
they make mention of any of the boys
that used to gather around our big
fire of an evening. AT that time |
used to hand in my little "ad" to
George Ainslie or "lke" Bowman with
as much pride as I feel now in giving
it to our World or Herald here, and
used to spend more brain power in
composing it, probably. George used
to drop into our little back cellar oc
casionally in a neighborly way, and
might be seen Shaking his lips in
contented manner shortly afterward,
as though the sight of the hams hang
ing up there made his mouth water-or
something else that was there. l see
my old chum Silsby, who used 10 beat
me at whist every night, has risen to
the dignity of Postmaster, and Bob"
Tompkins to County Treasurer, and
Kroeber to manager of the bank, and
number Of the boys that probably
hardly remember me have secured
their little "claims" and are working
them to good advantage. Once in a
while one of them drops in on me
here, and | am always glad to see
them, your old friend Dave Cougha-
nour among the number. Ny little
claim here has PANIED out very liber-
ally, and, believe, in the long run
suits me better than quartz lead.
We cover about as much ground as
the whole of Idaho City, and work
about 800 hands, and make very
satisfactory cleanup" every six
months. There are only two of US to
divide and the rock gets richer the
deeper we get Some time promise
myself three months trip to CaIifor
MIA and shall take in old Idaho City
but we don't have az much idle time
here as we used to there. One has to
work every minute here and carry his
business to bell with him, or his neigh
bors get ahead of him; but believe
It pays better here than anywhere
