IDAHO MINES.
A General Revival Ina Business An.
ticipated.
[From the Idaho Avalanche !

From the Idaho Avalanche
The general prospects for this and
other portions of the Territory are quite
encouraging, and we shouldn't be sur
prised to see a general revival of bust
ness all along the line long before win
ter sets III.
The Black Jack and the mine known
as the Hastings mine are being worked
jointly. Rock is being shipped to,the
Gilmore and Golden Chariot mills, there
being nearly dozen teams employed.
The outlook for Florida Mountains de-
cidedly encouraging, and the hill bids
fair to resemble huge beehive before
long. The Chariot mill starts up next
week
Nearly 100 tons of rock from the
Owyhee were crushed recently. Sun
dry improvements have recently been
made. in the vicinity of the mine.
At, the Clearbrook there are some
eighty. tons ready for crushing which
will average $50 to the ton.
At the Ruth mine, worked by ST..
Clair, Newcomb and others, quite a
bonanza has been unearthed within the
last week. The ledge, at point about
500 feet from the mouth of the tunnel
and $50 feet from the surface, turns
out to be immensely rich. It is about
Is inches in width and is. literally
streaked with gold. Samples of the
rock which we have seen will assay
away 9p into the thousands, and the
boys report that there is gooa.supply,
and we are glad to know that they are
about to be rewarded for their long and
steady perseverance and toll.
Some of the mines at Shaw's Nouns
tain, near Boise City, are reported to
be quite rich.

YANKEE FORK.



The Boise Democrat has the follow
ing relative. to Bonanza City, in the
Yankee Fork mines:
ga gentleman just in from Bonanza
City says there are three stores, threa
saloons and two hotels in Bonanza.
Board is $40 per week. The popnla-
ton Of the place, he thinks, is between
300 and 400, and great many more ar
irving daily. Lumber for building pur-
poses is very scarce. John Hempburn
is clearing off site for saw mill on
the Yankee fork, near town, and in
tends to erect mill capable Of saving
5000 feet per day. Water will be the
motive power. He also intends to put
up brewery this Summer. Town lots
sell from $50 to.Sa00, and still on the
increase in value.
The distance between Bonanza City
and Challis is about forty miles. The
Wagon road connecting the two places
is very rough and is. not passible for
machinery or heavily loaded wagons.
A good road is now being built, and it
is thought will be completed inside of
three months, when. quartz mills and
other machinery can be taken in.
''Our informant says it is no place for
a person. to go without means, for, until
hosting works, mills and other ma
chinery can. be taken in, there will not
be much chance for men who depend
on daily labor.
"There is an immense mineral field
in'thst section awaiting the pick of the
prospector, bat he must have either
provisions or cash to sustain himself
until he makes strike.
"The,Summer will be devoted mostly
to getting in and putting up machinery,
and making general propositions for be-
ginning work early in the Spring"

w, A. Rodifer has discovered ledge
in the mountains ON the west side of
Paradise Valley, which, we are in
formed, carries two feet of ore that
assays $2l2 to the ton in silver. Should
this new find prove to be rich and per-
manent, it will encourage prospecting
in the west range of the Paradise
mountains, which may result in de-
veloping mines as rich as those in
Mount Rose District.

Errigafing with Hot water.

Henry J. Pratt, of Glover Valley, in
forms us that his experiment with. hot
springs water for irrigating purposes,
shows it to be equal in every respect to
barley, wheat, alfalfa and vegetables
this spring and irrigates them with wa
Ter from the hot springs in that vicinity.
Gram, grass and vegetables are doing
well, and the prospects for a good crop
are excellent. He says there is sutfi-
cient water flowing from the hot springs
in Clover'Valley to irrigate 20, 600 acres
and that it is his intention to utilize it
next Summer.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHERS.
They are Enthusiastieliiy Received at
the Depot ami Highly Gratiiied,

s4At OObDh ana my
The special train, consisting of eight
Palace Sleeping Coaches, aud day and
baggage cars arrived at the depot at 5:l5
o'clock, last evening. All the Sunday
School children, dressed in holiday at
tire, and nearly one-half of the grown
people IN town had assembled at the
the depot to'receive the Ezcursionists
according to the programme adopted on
Sunday. As the train drew up, the
Brass Band struck IN an appropriate
air, at the close of which, Rev.
Mr.. Carver, Chairman of the Re-
ception COMMITTEES which went to
Golconla to meet the train, intro
duced Rev. j. r. Berry, of Iowa, the
originator and manager of the excursion,
who expressed his qualification at the
interest taken in the cause, which the
excursion was intended to advance, by
the people of Winaemucca. Mr.. Berry
called on the Rev: John II. Vincent, of
New York, Manager OF the National
Sunday School Convention to be held
at Yosemite and Monterey this month.
This gentleman male brief speech in
in which he said, that the excursion had
no political significance, but was in
tended to make good citizens of the ris-
ing generation, no matter which party
they affiliated with, by intoxicating
moral precep5s on their minds. He said
their was but one fluent political speaker
on the train, and his eloquence was
equalled only by his excessive modesty,
his Baptist friend, Rev DR.. Peltz, of
New Jersey, Elitor of the Sunday
School Times IA voice on the plat
form remarked, that this was too dry a
country for Baptists, especially this
year,. DIR Peltz then addressed the
crowd in a very happy mood, saying
that during the late war those who
went by water served the country fully
as well, and were as highly appreciated,
and as acceptable to God and the people
as those who went by land. He was
pleased to see such and assemblage of
haiies, gentlemen aud ,children; such
sea OF strange faces, and although they
had been favopably received at different
places along the railroad, they must ac
aord the palm to Winnemucca, whose
citizens he thanked in behalf of the
Excursionists.
Judge Berry, Marshal of the day,
was then called on and responded in a
few pertinent and happy remarks which
were applauded by the Excursionists,
after which the Band struck up lively
air, the Conductor cried "All aboard, +"
all waved hats and handkerchiefs and as
the train left the depot, the three hun
dred Excursionsts joined in the refrain;
In-.he sweet Bye and Bye,
We shall meet on that Beautiful Shore"

also the policy which, in the opinion OF
the directors Of this chamber, should pre-.

both countries Tho imports from the

Tile Railroad business OF the Country.
Reviewing the railroad business OF 1878,
the Railroad Gazette dates the point ofim-
provement at the second half of 1877, and
says it has slowly bettercd ever since. The
great crops OF last year rescued the rail.
roads from the dullest period of tho dull
times, and the greater crops Of this year
assure them continuance Of profitable bus.
iness. The competition OF water routes has
prevented realization Of profits COM
mensurate with the increased freightage,
but rs less cutting Of rates is probable this
winter, fair returns are probable. During
the year there have been 1888 miles Of
new road constructed, which arc about
$50 miles more than were built in 1877.
The new lines are chiefly in the West, and
have been constructed with more regard to
the needs OF the country than formerly
characterized railroad building. Tie econ
omies that have been introduced in man.
agement arc expected to hold with i'm
proved business, and give returns that
will compensate for past losses. The Ga
.ate says in conclusion: "Thc year ends
quito favorably, with almost the certainty
of large traffic for large part Of the
roads until after the next harvest, and with
good prospect Of making much moro out
of it than was done last year. Rates are
likely foreman low, however, and expon.
Ses arc not likely to decrease by lower pri.
ces for materials or labor. Tho prospect
is OF greater stability than has been known
recently. Tho country seems headed in
the right direction, and most are satisfied
with that, even il the progress made is
very SLOW"
