We learn from MT. Hotaling that the winze in the Silver Prince, Peck district, is now one 100 feet below the surface,
 The owners of the Black Warrior are running a drift north on good ore.
 There has been quite heavy rain on Lynx and Big Bug creeks, too heavy, intact, for the requirments of the placer miners, the flood having;in some instances, washed away the gravel piles.
 Placer mining on Lynx Creek, is being prosecuted with great vigor and with the most cheering results. Harmon and Parks are taking out nuggets by handfulls,
 Lewis will clean up an average of twenty-five cents to the pan, and Johnny Kennedy fifty cents per pan.
 Mr Poland informs us that he saw a So nugget, yesterday, from one of those claims.
 The Big Bu g saw mill is running on full time, and it is the intention of the owpers to add a ten-stamp mill to the machinery.-Artzonan.
 D. R Poland is building a new house at the head of Big Bug Creek, where he has some very valuable claims. Mir Poland is q gentleman who has been more closely identified with the mining interests of this i'm mediate section than probably any body in it, he has wavered in his faith in the ultimate success of Yava pal, and we are glad te he able to chronicaI the fact that his tenacity and indomitahle perseverance is about to bear sAe rich reward which if deserves

Assuming the particulars of the

Assuming the particulars of the sinking of the Columbia, in mid ocean, as given by Captain Larson, to bc correct in description, his first notion that the animal that struck his bark was one of the two whales engaged in combat is probably the true one. Whales do fight and dis play tremendous power. There is an account of whale fight that oc cured just off the town of Nybster. Scotland, which was witnessed by number Of fishermen. The two whales rushed against each other with great velocity; one would leap twenty or thirty feet in the air and fall upon his foe with crushing force, and the sea around him, lashed into foam, soon exhibited bright red tinge. The battle lasted three hours One of the whales was killed in the fight, and this, when drawn ashore, was found to be sixty feet in length A monster like that, moving with velocity that would carry it twenty to thirty feet out of the water, might stave in the blanks of an old vessel such as the Columbia was.-Phtta- delphsd Ledger.

OUR PLAZA.

We would respectfully call the attention of the town authoEities to the present unsightly condition of the plaza. This fine square, instead of being an ornament, as it should, to our city, is, from it's constant use as a rendezvous by Indians and other riff-raff, an eye-sore. A person on entering our city, would be at once struck by the air of desOlation pervading it, and would reasonably conclude that the citizens of our town cared little for the tawn's ap- pearance. With little expenditure of money, and the facilities at hand it could readily be transformed into blooming spot, which besides em- bellishing our city, wouI give to the public a resort where, after the hours of labor, recreation might be sought. Let us have somezaction in the matter.
