This valley we found about ITO
miles northeast of Lewiston, in the
Ceur d'Aleile mountains. The valley
has an area of about two miles square.
Through the center of it runs a small
creek which the Indians call Ka-kak-a.
1t is surrounded by the best of timber,
and the soil appears extremely fertile.
From the number Of deer tracks it is
evident that great numbers OF these
animals resort to this valley for feed.
We saw a number of elk and the
tracks Of the cinnamon bear and the
California lion To one of a very
romantic nature this valley would
make a beautiful home in the wild
wood and good stock ranch, provided
hay for Winter feeding was secured

MERRY Observation-Disclosures another issue
of the TELLER Christmas will have come
and gone, SO this is our only opportunity to
wish our many readers Merry Christmas.
Don't you remember at home in the long
gone by how our hearts swelled with ioy
upon the advent of this hallowed eve! These
holidays are pauses in our life at which we
turn our thoughts backward and mediate.
The miner at his campfire on Christmas
Eve will poke the Goals and tell the stories
OF the big stocking and the frosted cake in
the years passed away. The rancher, too,
will muse upon those boyish dreams and
call to mind the picture Of his early home:
and we in shops and at the desk can also
cherish memories dear, and say with some
regret, we wish we were q child again.
Christmas is the child's day, and to cele-
brate it Alright we must be as little ones.
Now is the time to presents get
And in a stocking put them,
On Christmas, then, your little pet
Will find it hard to foot them.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON d. G. Dec. LIST 1879.
The message of the President is very
long but he does not recommend much
legislation of Importance. He asks
for the retirement of the greenbacks,
and that request will attract wider at
tsntion than any other In view of
the fact that General Butler and rep
resentative Chittenden have case be
fore the Supreme court in which the
right of the government in time of
peace to reissue legal tender paper to
be tested, the most important practical
question connected with government
issues by the way. 1t is not believed
that Congress will enter upon financial
Legislation on the subject. He wishes
the amount of silver dollar coinage to
be subject to the opinion of the secre-
tary of the treasury. He speaks at
length of civil service reform, and asks
an appropriation for committee to
consider the subject. Congress will
think twice before voting the money.
He says our foreign relations are
satisfactory, asks for money for the
Washington monument, and other
purposes here.
The message will undoubtedly be
distasteful in some of it's parts to dem
ocrats, and the National Republican
raises this morning q complaint in be-
half of the Republicans.
The session of Congress commenc-
ing to-day will probably be a business
one. The appropriation bills will be
ready for action soon, and from what
am able to learn, will, with the other
necessary work of the session, be dis
posed of rapidly. There is a general
desire on the part of the majority to-
avoid protracted political debates.
During the first week ministers to En-
gland and Russia will be named, and
secretary McCrary will be nominated
for judge of the Circuit court of the
United States If, as there is little
doubt will be the case, Mr.. McCnry is
confirmed, ex-senator Ramsey of Min
nesota will be made secretary of war.
There is an apparently proper wish
for the establishment, in connection
with some one Of the departments, Of
o mining or mineral bureau. The call
comes now from the older states in
which gold and other mines exist, but
the greater order and stability which
would everywhere be introduced will
commend the scheme to miners every
where.
Great interest is felt by all in the
the experimental lighting of portions
of the Capitol by electricity. The
hall of the House will not at present
be supplied with the light, as the in
ventor is not wholly satisfied with his
work; but it is believed that not much
time will elapse before the whole vast
building will have its only light from
electricity.
Of all the cities in this country
Washington has the most churches in
proportion to its population, viz: one
for less than each thousand Of its pop
ulation, besides being the handsomest,
best paved and severed, and most
moral city, and having the best
public schools. This should be known
as the City of Churches. 1t is rapid
~ becoming what the capital Of a
great country should be.

FEUD BREwING.-Some of the settlers on
the Potlatch say that certain Indians living
in that vicinity are claiming quite strip of
country outside of the survey Of the Nez
Perez reservation; that the boundary line
run does not correspond with the treaty
they made, as they understood it: that they
are determined to have limits of the reser-
vation extended so as to conform to their
understanding of the matter, and that they
will not peaceably submit to anything less.
This little strip of land they claim outside
may become just enough of bone of con-
tcntion to produce much i'll feeling between
the settlers and the Indians, and may lead
to serious difficulties in the future, unless
the matter be soon settled in such a manner
that both Indians and the settlers shall
know their rights and observe them without
infringement, the one upon the other. We
suggest that the agent inquire into this mat
ter, and if there be bone of contention
forming, that he take early steps to remove
the same. We want no more Indian wars,
nor even the apprehension Of wars in our
midst. If the whites arc trespassing upon
Indian rights have them duly restrained,
and if Indians conceive themselves wronged
where they are not, have them also know
the limit of their rights and make them OBJ
serve that limit.

rehs INFORM US unat tne work on the Rescue
is progressing vigorously. A contract has
been let to extend the east level, which is
now $50 feet east Of the turn table at the
inner end of the tunnel. one hundred feet
further east; that work is progressing on
this extension, and that three-foot creyice
is disclosed, with twenty inches of solid
quartz, Of good quality: that it is also in
contemplation to sink the main shaft 100
feet lower, and extend levels from that
depth. both east and west, and thus be able
to stope out the valuable ore that appears at
the bottom of the present levels, both east
and west. The mill is said to be in better
condition than ever before, and that Mr..
Dickinson, who manipulates the ores in the
mill, exhibits more skill in saving the metal
than any other operator who has ever been in
the camp. We learn that there have been
three clean.ups from small lots of ore, and
that they have averaged over 81 900 EACH 1t
is confidently hoped and expected that this
mine will soon show rich yield if the men
who have the lease will provide their en-
ployees with what is necessary to do the
work in operatingit. Wccan find no one who
doubts the permanencc and high value Of
the mine.
