George understood him to say "Bip

energy OF speed the anticipation of a
galena location puts into the average
lrospector. "Uncle Georges physi.

great expectations when he came to a

him the uncovered prospect. The
man went on to explain that he came

and that his eyes were SO intently
fastened on the uncoverine business
SO as to get glimpse of the develop

RALPH GooDLIFFE. who was up to
Banner last week, says the mill was
shut down couple Of days, SO as to
clean out the boiler and repair the
furnace. The shaft that was sunk in
the face of the main tunnel, is being
extended on down. They have finish
ed stopping out from the level run east
from the bottom of the shaft, which
was at depth of thirty feet below
the tunnel and between three and four
hundred feet below the surface. As
soon as the shaft is down a sufficient
depth another drift will be run east
and stopping resumed. Ten or twelve
men are extracting ore at The Banner.
and have out sixty or seventy tons
that will mill nearly 5000 per ton. A
tunnel has followed this vein dis
lance OF three hundred feet. An son
foot tunnel will be run next winter,
and will tap the vein at quite depth
below where ore is now being taken
out. Both the Grown Point aud Ban
ner are turning out ruby silver ore
and never looked as encouraging as
at present. The ore bodies are both
rich and extensive.
Coz & CARTER, railroad contractors
were here the other day endeavoring
to get force of men to go to Wood
river aud cut ties, to be foated down
the river next spring. They didn't
succeed, as the price that was offered
twenty cents each, the ties to be
eight feet long and 5x5 inches-was
not sufficient to induce any one to
take a contract. Grading is being
pushed ahead this way from Granger.
and the track has been laid distance
of forty or fifty miles. The road will
strike Snake river just above Americ-
an Falls, that point being the least
expensive to bridge, as the river there
runs through very narrow channel. |
The company expect to have the track
laid to Boise by next fall. Whether
it will strike the town or miss it
few miles, is not positively known, bu,
generally believed that it will miss
and cross the river ten or fifteen miles
below.

an old flint lock Z. S. musket. manu-

was found by James Grew, on the
head waters of Big Smoky, in the
Sawtooth range, recently, and brought
to this office. 1t now occupies place
among other wonders of the world in
the beautiful cabinet of VIM. Tincher.
at the Miners exchange Mr.. Grew
spent some time looking after other
portions of the musket to which this
had been attached sixty-four years
ago, but could find nothing. He says
ne was astonished when he found it,
or he had thought he was traversing
