Hor SPRINGS, May 25th, 1876

dcI cPHfNSe, May zouf, losc. kl EDITOR MISER:-Lazlly reclining unde 1. the friendly branches of a gigantic cotton wood, possessed of some of the ills ard ail that human flesh is heir to, concluded t, I write my letter from here instead of th, ' Tiptop. There are several patients here & ] the present time. all seeming to do well although in a great measure we fail to per ceive where the remedial virtues of these springs merit any especial attention, being utterly devoid of any mineral properties such as the famous springs of Colorado possess. There are two springs, situated in a narrow canyon, having an outlet on Cas- tie Creek. The heat of the upper spring is about 20 degrees hotter than that of tn . lower, yet neither is so warm as to render it uncomfortable for bathing purposes. Notwithstanding the apparent absence of any medicinal properties in the waters of these springs, they seem to afford copside- rable relief to all who seek health in them. We cannot explain it, unless on the hy- l pothe.is, that rest from labor and excite ment, strict adherance to plain living, the proper use of medicine. and that good cleaning of the skin occasionally, produce salutary effects upon patients.
 TPToP ITEMS.
 By this time the No. winze in No. ? tunnel has connected with No tunnel at the depth of little more than 100 feet, costing six weeks labor for six men-pretty good work, considering the rock that was passed through. StopiDg wlll commence from each side of the winze, and though the mill has not lacked sufficient ore, vet the quantity that will come out now will necessitate increased facilities of reduction. The connection between the main shaft and No. tunnel will be made in about five weeks from now, providing no bad luck occurs.
 About 50 men are employed at the Foy, making three shipments a week to the mill, amounting to about IS tons.
 MT. Urfer, on the 76 mine, is shipping about two tons per week to the mill.
 new strike has been made on the exten- sion of the Legal Tender, by Messrs. Smith and Bernard, which proves to bs one of the best little strikes so far-being about six inches of a ledge of nothing but yellow chloride of silver. They cali their claim the "Water Witch"
 There is r,mor that the boarding house will again change on the lst of the month. finders & Rowe have moved their store in one of the unoccupied rooms of the Bost- l wick building, with A. NJ. Belcher still hav- l ing the management of affairs. Ali Ber- nard has associated with him as partner MT. | John Gilbert, both of whom arc clever gen. | tlemen to deal with. A party has start. | ed barber shop here, and seems to be do- | ing pretty we'll
 GILLETT DoINGs.
 On trip to Gillett we found matters stir ring at rapid gait. The mill is running night and day with plenty of good ore. Anderson & Single have their hotel about completed. and are getting large share of the business. Hayden's new store bui ding IS not yet completed, but is partially occu- pied, and as the construction has been let by contract, 1t will not take long to finish the work. Peter Arnold has purchased the McAllster building from Tom Cusicks and started brewery to furnish the thirsty deni- zens of Humbug district with good beer.
 Recently complaint was filed before udge Crooks by the keeper of little frame house against two loose characters by names or Brown aud St. Clair, who, in connection with their "fellers," purloined basket of wlne, but before his Honor had an oppor- tunity of asserting the stern majesty off the law, the matter was compromised by the parties paying for the wine and the costs of suit.
 Another case was that of Silsby vs. Sils- Dy-a suit was instituted by Mrs. Carrie oilsby, nee Anderson, to recover from her husband, Edward Silsby, the sum of $25O. li It seems from the evidence adduced that Silsby borrowed his wife's jewelry and put t in 'soak," in order to raise money to make trip East, and when he came back Mrs. 'ilsby desired him to return her jewels. but ; hey were gone, and consequently the plain. | a lff lifted the articles from "soak," expend- ng Tn SO doing about $250. Hence the suit I Politics aoes not strike us very hard in hls camp, as we are kept pretty busy at r ther things. and we would never know there h 'as such u thing as Democracy or Republic. $ nism, If 1t were not for the fact that every V lme one of the boys goes to Prescott he rings ba copy of the "other paper.nl ' he head of which seems to be crying for P 'ah, wah!
