We have been permitted by Mr.. J. L.

from q letter just received by hun from
J. A. Savage. . we'll known resident Of
this county. Who left here for Snake

about three veeks ago. The letter was
Penned nj BonAssa City. the mining
center Of the district, and dated June

Ogden to Blaekfoot in one day. next
night took the stage for Challis; rode
all n'gA. laid over on the route the
next, and the following evening arrived
in Challis. Laid over one day in Chal.
lis and took a saddle train for this place
where we arrived after n ride of ten
hours; the distance is about tbirty.6
miles from ChGllis over q very rough
road or rather trail; the hills are very
steep and the mountains high. There
is no snow in town. but on the noun
tRins it lies about as it docs on the
Ruby range. This vi and vicinity
contains about two thousand persons
who are IN town and scattered through
the hills, are coming and going all the
time. Town lots are selling for from
$500 20 $4,000. Since 1 arrived one
was sold for Sl,T50, and another for
$1,000. A person must be possessed OF
a good bank account TO be able to buy
a lot. Board is $40 per week; l sleep
in a room about l0xl2 feet dimensions
with eleven others; it leave but little
unoccupied space on the floor. I have
visited several of the leading mines,
aud judging from what 1 have seen,
this will be a great mineral country.
The mines are tha richest and largest
that I have ever seen. This. however,
there will Se a mill here this Summer.
The road from Challis will not be COM
pleted until this Fall; it Will then be
too late for bringing in mills; one ten
stamp mill is, 1 am told, on the way
here. II the road is not completed
until Fall there will be a great STAN
pede out of here. Men are coming by
the hundred with no money and moth
ing to do. They must leave here before
Winter sets in.
The mines are generally high.priced,
some are called worth as Ligh as $780,
600. but there are many prospects hat
can be bought at reasonable figures that
may III out as we'll as the form er ones.
This Summer is the time to get into the
mines, men are hard up and interests
can be bought reasonably, considering
the kind OF prospects.

In the matter of the Iowa Mining

Company Of this State. in which the
latter applied for a United States patent
for ground to which the former held an
adverse claim. and for the maintenance
OF which bad entered suit, the Secretary
Of the Interior has advanced . new and
important principle for the government
of such cases. The General Land
Office touching this case. decided that
the Iowa Company had, by failure to
prosecute b suit with reasonable dill

consequence, the Bonanza Company

"ExrRA ORDINARY" a Eureka cor
respondent of the Leader. INDUCES in
the following pointed bit of irony:
I wish to suggest to the County Com.
m~issiouers that there is another chance
for extras on the Courthouse Job. Ills
this. The sloepers are being put in
place with one edge down; by having
them turned over 1t would be extra
work. for which an allowance OF $500
could be made, and as they will have to
be spliced IN the canter. $500 more
could be allowed: then have them com
mence laying them on Main street first,
$500 more could be added. These
changes are more easily made now than
after the floor is laid down. As the
work progresses some other suggestions
may be made for the consideration Of
the Commissioners. for which no extra
charge will be made.
1t is apparent from the quaint pleas
antry Of Extra Ordinary that the
radical changes permitted by the Board
nre no ordinary extras"
