THE ROCKFORD MINES.
Deadwood Times.

Mr.. w. n. Crane came in from Rockford
on the 4th inst, and gives the following
account Of that camp:
The Minnesota mine has been sold, Mr..
Enos, of Lead City, paying $4,000 for one
half interest, and will put his mill on the
mine at once. This mine is near Silver
creek and about two miles from Rockford.
The Charter Oak mine, owned BY Tom
Jones, was bonded to a Michigan company
for $4,000, the company having the parivi-
lege,of prospecting the mine before paying
the money. They ran a tunnel, and before
going i've feet found the vein to be SO feet
vide. The ore, it is claimed, will run $500
to the ton, and resembles the Homestake
ore. The company are we'll pleased With
their bargain, and will have an s0.stamp
mill completed before winter sets in.
Some parties while mining, thought they
had struck crystslized quartz, . short time
ago, but On pounding up some Of it found il
TO be salt. The bed il three feet wide.
Mr.. Crane has been running q tunnel o
104 feet on the Racine lode. which is owned
BY Utley and Beemer, of Lead City. HI

We have for some time observed the
fact that cattle were becoming scarce.
The best evidence of this is the fact, OBJ
servable by everybody, that an unusual
ly large number of young cattle and
COWS have peer marketed during the
past year. The improved means of ship
ping slaughtered and live meats to Eu-
rope and the immense number of cattle
consumed by the canning establish
ments, have made a great drain upon the
cattle of the country. and the
rearing of cattle seems now to promise
more certainly remunerative results than
anything that we know of. That the
cattle OF Texas are becoming scarce may
be seen from the following paragraph
taken from one OF our well posted ex-
changes. The concluding sentence, we
think, will not be long of realization
Texas cattle men estimate that the
''drive" of Texas cattle for 1879 will
reach $4,000 to 200. 900 head. Thf
greater portion OF these will be yearlings
and two year Odds. Cattle in western
Texas are becoming scarce, and many
ranchmen advocate the stopping of thu
"drlve' for a few years, IN order tina!
Kansas and the north may be drained o
its surplus"

TO SALINE.

EDITOR INTELLI0ENCER:-Last Saturday. at
Odessa. we stepped aboard the train on the C.. Il
A. for a visit to Saline, Slater being our desti-
nation. 1t is unnecessary to describe the coun-
try, the rolling prairie farms dotted here and
there with neat dwellings and comfortable
barns; the endless fields of waving corn which
promise the most abundant harvest ever known
The officers of the road were as usual, kind and
accommodating. We arrived at Slater at 9 a. m.
and were much surprised at the appearance, but
not agreeably surprised. There is no passenger
depot, 80 we were landed on a platform and
literally "mudded'' from there to the nearest
plankwalk, some seventy-fve yards from the
landing. There had been a heavy rain, and IN
the absence OF a ''bus'' we had to take the
mud. Slater, it is said, is the highest point in
Saline, but it is so fiat that the water will
hardly run from its streets. Joe Walton, of the
Slater House, took us in, and by his kind treat
ment and good table reminded US that he knew
his business. Business is lively in town. The
new mill, which is the best building we saw, is
receiving an immense quantity of wheat. The
yield OF wheat is about 20 bushels per acre. There
are some nice dwellings in the town, but the
majority of the business houses In the way Of
room and ~neatness do not compare with those OF
our town.
