Boston Special: Gen. Grant, who

hand, and when the ex-President was
told of Bntler's success he remarked
pleasantly: Yes, the people want a

"And Indiana, Delaware and Penn

reporter.

Another good effect of the late cleo
ton is becoming apparent at Wash
ington. Secretary Lincoln, it is said,
will recommend that Congress pass
no River and Harbor bill, as it is plain
ly apparent that the people are in ia
vor of economy and have emphatical-
ly declared against such extravaganza
appropriations as were made by Con-
gress last summer. AS the appropri-
atoms for River and Harbor improve
ments have been made for the next
year the recommendation of Secreta-
ry Lincoln can have no effect except
to emphasize the verdict of the people
on the 18th ult. against axtrava-
gance.
1t is said that the discharge of De-
tective Miller is the first step in the

ton of the Star Route defendants.

LETTER FROM LOCKWOOD.


LETTER FROM LOCKWOOD.
Mr.. F. Lo :kwood, who put up the
Golden Fleece mill near Centerville,
has been up to Alaska, and writes to
John Lamberton of this county, from
San Francisco, under date of Noyem-
Der 1st, as follows:
"After taking in the great gold field,
mammoth quartz mines, mountains of
wealth, GLACIERS and icebergs of Alas
ka, | have carefully studied and look
ed into all the organs of the camp, and
think | have it simmered down to what
1t really amounts to, and for short l
would call it nothing. AS for the pla-
GERS, there are but small spots of
ground, very rocky and small pay.
Perhaps there is enough ground to
make one good claim. The mountain
OF quartx, as represented, is similar in
character to some of the "bull" or
barren quartz that lies on the surface
of portions of the Idaho country. The
quartz amounts to nothing. There are
no lodges there, but stringers Of quartz
running through the country, but of
no regularity, and only few carrying
gold. The gold is found on the inside
of the stringers, in small pockets, is
fine and not much of it. The best of
it pays only 500 so per ton. The for
nation is green stone, and very hard.
There have been several tunnels start
ed in on what they call veins, and all
failed to show up. Contracts have
been let as nigh as $ll 40 foot, and
the parties couldn't make wages at
that, and backed water" put up

tor, and took others word for it. 1t
cost us $1,000. AS soon as the snow

were badly sold. There is one ledge
about ten or twelve miles from there
that promises to be mine. 1t is large
but contains low grade orc. There is

don't remember his name. There were
two fellows from Quartzburg on the

ital to explore some of the Idaho coun.
try. Expect to be there about the
first of April. | will take my assay
ing implements and tools, and with

something there yet.
Please write as soon as you receive
this, and tell me all about the Elkhorn

Fleece and the country,in general, and
of any chances known to you for a
good investment.

Turbulent Tramps.

On last Tuesday morning four
tramps, named Peter Hess, n. B.
Harrison, j. w. Anderson and Mil
lard Butler, were put off the accom-
mediation train just as it started west
from here. After they had shaken
tke dust from their clothes, they be-,
gan firing their pistols inside the cor
poration, shooting at apples on trees,
telegraph posts, etc., with great dan
ger of wounding people at the houses
on the road side. Marshal Gray was
informed of their behavior, when he
summoned Mr.. j. P. Weatherford to
help make the arrest. They were
caught in the edge of town, one of
them having his pistol out at the time.
Marshal Gray "got the drop on them" "
though, by presenting his pistol in
their faces and ordering them to ground
arms, which they promptly did. They
were carried before Mayor Hale, when
Butler and Harrison were each fined
ten dollars. In default of bond, they
were then sent to Jail as state offenders
for carrying pistols. Judge Carthel
will probably (and properly give
them six months in Jail and fine them
fifty dollars each. Hess and Ander>
son were released, there being no evi,
dence against them.

A Cutting ARRAY.

On last Saturday night sgd. Har,
ris, colored, bought some -four and
started home. Near the section house
on the l.. u N. road, he came across
George Patton and Louis Lusk, white,
who are said to have been drinking.
He got into a dispute with them,
when they attacked him with brick.
bats and stones. When they closed
in on him he stabbed Lusk seriously
in the neck, narrowly missing an ar
terry. from which he bled copiously.
Patton received a severe stab in the
back. Both are improving and will
recover. Harris came back to town
and surrendered. but, no prosecutor
appearing, he was released.
