When we remember how long a time used
to pass before we could get at the truth of the
result of battles in our own civil war just
across State line, with all the help of postal
and telegraph facilities, we need not wonder
at the hazy accounts brought in our foreign
exchanges of the state of affairs in Kudja, on
the back half of the globe. The news that
the Chinese General Tsao-Tsang had crossed
the Russian frontier came slowly first round
from Cabul, where it mad been brought by
travelling merchants from Kashgar. Another
report stated that the Chinese had invaded
MantchoOria. These reports were treated
with indifference as canards III st. Peters
burg. 1t is evident that the Russian Gov
eminent is disposed TO assume much more ill.,
different and arrogant ground with China
since the Gladstone Ministry came into
power; we doubt whether the recent threat
ened snubbing OF Marquis Tseng would have
been limited before the change in England
took place. The war between Russia and
China is indeed thing OF surmises and prog
nostications, rather than facts which We can
Law before our readers. English journals
sagaclously insist that Russia has been hold
ing off until she could induce Japan and
Portugal to join her. Both Japan and Por-
tugal are now, however, on friendly footing
with China Russian success ultimately, in
either Kuldja or MantchoOria, appears prob
lematc, owing to the difficulty and enormous
length of time required for transportation.
The Chinese have been preparing their forces
at these points for more than year; General
Tsao -Tsang's troops now IN Kashgar being
estimated at $4,000 well drilled men, mostly
equipped with European arms. The arsenal
at Tsien-tsin has been occupied for two years
in the manufacture of powder for this army
alone. Colonel Gordon, the Engiishman who
it was announced had set OH post haste to

once more in shouting for Hancock, the
soldier, when it belabored with abuse Grant,
the greater soldier, and every sober citizen
will ask why its love and admiration are con-
fined to this particular soldier of thas Army.
The country knows. There is one soldier who

The latest news from Afghanistan, though
still very vague, is more encouraging for the
British. The panic seems to have subsidized in
London. although the preparations for as

the recent catastrophe occurred the Secretary Tor

moral sense of the Nation will undoubtedly
concede the equity of this arrangement, but
now that the campaign has been prolonged in

the Tories assert that the disaster at Canda-

charge. The present Ministry have nc

Lord Lytton had begun. General Burrows
defeat is the natural outcome of the hazardous
and illusory policy which is now proving to
be so costly. Lord Beaconsfeld never asked
the country to foot the bills for his numerous

LONDON, December 4.-The excitement
over the Irish question increases. Lord
Cranbrook, & Conservative, speaking at
Beach Hampstead last night, declared that
as the Government had failed to suspend
the habeas corpus act, il further outrages
were committed blood would be on their
hands.
Lord Justice James writes: THE rent
Of Irish holding should be fixed at from
twenty to twenty-five per cent. over Grit
fth's valuation, and any landlord dissatis-
fed with this should be entitled to call up
on the Government to purchase his land at
q fair price," Colonel Gordon, who has
been on a tour of the whole West Of Ire
land, writes that the condition Of the peo-
pie is worse than that Of any other people
In the world; al impossible gulf exists be-
tween them and the landlords citing as o
precedent the measures taken to abolish
slavery in West India. He proposes that
the Government should buy out all Of the
landlords west Of the Shannon, at at cost
OF ESQ, OO0, 900, Of which q great part will
be repaid by the tenants, and the cancer
will be cured. He also proposes that lands
thus acquired be administered by q legal
commission supplemented by N Immigra-
ton Committee.

An outline sketch Of the First Annual
Report Of Clarence King, is already pub
lished in some Of the New York papers.
Professor King is director of the Geologi-
cal Survey. In bis report he outlines the
organization from 1867 under Professor
Hayden and Major Powell, up to the pres
emit years work, and in one sentence, which
refers more especially to our own immedi-
ate neighborhood, he says, In regard to the
general scheme Of work: "By placing
each division under the charge Of a geolo-
gist whose personal experience and ac-
quirements fit him to undertake the inves-
tigation of the chief problems Of that di-
vision, and assigning to him q competent
corps of assistants, a far better result will
be obtained than by any plan Of expedi-
tionary operations with parties moving
from division to division. 1t is intended,
on the contrary to confne each corps to
its own division, and to keep it permanent
ly at work there, except in cases of certain
technical economical investigations. In
fhis respect the organization resembles that
OF the Army and the Coast and Geodetic
Survey. Among the great numbers Of
mining districts which merit rigid investi-
CATION, I have chosen three, which. more
than others. seemed to offer harvests Of
technical information, of which the min
ing population stands in immediate need.

The Ida Gilmore mine, near Rocky Bar,
is working. twelve men being employed by
il. The vein is from twelve to twenty
seven inches in width, and the ore that is
being extracted 10 good. A depth OF 220
feet has been obtained, and tunnels are be-
ing run east IN it. When one hundred
tons are out crushing will ommence.
Last Sunday there were two and a-half
feet OF snow on the divide where the trail
crosses the Saw Tooth Mountains. At the
Saw Tooth Lake there were six inches.
From the latter place to Bonanza no snow
was encountered till within ten miles Of
here, where there were three or four inches.
All efforts to get ministers Of the gospel
to locate here have proven failures. There

Pile have commenced the importation OF
yellow-legged chickens, and If this expert
ment fails to bring the gospel sharps. there
will be no use OF trying any more.
The public school for the Yankee Fork
District will be opened in a good building
midway between Bonanza and Custer next
Monday, with Miss Mary Taylor as teacher.
The yishnu and Idaho have been worked
under lease for the past year. They are
looking well, and a New York company
is negotiating for their purchase.
At Atlanta things are looking about as
usual. Twenty-six men are at work in the
Monarch, and the ore taken out is good.
Vegetables are scarce in the market,
Bay Horse and Challis took most Of the
vegetables from Round Valley.
The Buffalo is at work, and the com
pany's mill is running right along.

The Charles Dick

The lower tunnel Of the Charles Dickens
mine is now in about $50 feet, says the
Yankee Fork Herald, and at that point the
vein is fifteen to sixteen feet in width, and
the ore of the usual good quality OF the
Dickens. A 120-foot winze was lately
completed. connecting the lower with the
upper tunnel at a distance of 65 feet from
the present workings Of the lower tunnel.
The sinking was lone on the hanging wall
and the upraise on the foot wall, and in
prosecuting the vein was found to be
twenty and one-half feet in width. The
ledge shows greater width with depth, and
for most part only the foot wall in the
lower tunnel is visible, but the winze,
where it penetrates it, shows it to be over
twenty feet and widening.

The situation in the northern part Of
Old Mexico may be summed up in saying
that wood and water are abundant; that
the climate permits outdoor operations
throughout the year; that the building OF
the road now being constructed from Quay
mas to FL Paso, and soon to be com
pleted, will bring this region as near New
York by rail as Salt Lake City; that the
lodges are we'll defined, and, as far as
developed by the primitive machinery and
desultory working, very persistent and
profitable; and that the introduction OF
American capital, machinery and skilled
labor will vastly enhance the value and the
output Of the mines.
