TWO PROMISING CLAIMS.
The Joe Garrison and Black Hawk
Mines In Lees Gulch.


The Joe Garrison mine, in Lees
gulch, about five miles below HALEY,
is opening up better each week. Three
5Ofoot shafts have been sunk on the
vein, and the irst-class ore goes 500
ounces in silver to the ton, while some
Of the streaks run as high us $4,000
to the ton. Men are working actively
on the mine. Yesterday the third
shaft cut through body of black
sulphates and antimonial silver four
feet thick, and Of unknown length.
The ore coming out of this ledge bids
fair to make it renowned mine.
The Black Hawk mine, Oh the same
ledge, which was only considered a
location few days ago, has opened
out fine vein. 1t was not then of
value, and the owners scarcely had
money to buy grub, but yesterday one
of them had $1,000 in greenbacks
thrust at him for half-intercst, and
refused. He considers $4,000 no
price for it.

County Quite Satisfactory-The Issue
OF $4,000 worth Of Bonds to Build
Courthouse at HALEY Authorized.
Lycurgus Vineyard, the attorney at
law OF this city, who left to attend to
certain interests coming before the
Territorial Legislature at the opening
OF the session, returned last evening on
the kelton stage, having had a four
days trip in on the coach during the
severe cold and storm. He is GLAD to
return to HALEY, as he says Boise
City is not such good place to win
ter in as is this town. The mercury
ranged away below zero there during
several days, and it was less endurable
at that altitude than here. Boise is
now quiet and dull.
The Legislature adjourned Satur-
day last, at midnight. The proceed
ings in all cases directly concerning
Alturas county have been very salts
factory. The effort to slice off a part
OF Alturas county and thereby devote
a large portion of the taxable property,
including the railroad, to the revenue
of adjacent counties, was killed. Ex-
Sheriff Gray had two bills presented
for relief, or to compensate him for
losses sustained while in Office. One
bill allowing a small amount was
passed; but the main bill of items.

lars, though passed in the Council and
in fair way to pass in the House.
was killed finally by petitions sent
from Wood River opposing its pass
age, as we'll as by influence cxerted
against it by parties in Boise.
The Courthouse bill was put
through the Council, but hung in the
House owing to imperfections in its
first drafting. 1t was remodcled so
as to prevent jobbcry at the peo-
pies expense by inserting clauses
to the original bill which compelled
the negotiation of the entire issue at
par, and reduced the rate of interest
from 10 to 6 per cent per annum.
With these amendments it passed
the two branches of the Legislature,
and became law.
BY this bill the Commissioners of
AltUras county are authorised to issue
bonds for 100000, having nine years
to run, or until 1891, drawing 6 per
cent. interest per annum, and to be
negotiated at not less than par, for
the purpose of constructing a County
Courthouse at Haley, wherein shall
be the county Jail, District and Pro-
bate courts, Recorders Office, Clerks
and Sheriffs' Offices, etc. Colonel
E. A. Wall, President and Member
of the Council from Alturas, agreed to
place the entire issue of $4,000 in
Chicago, at par.

THE EAST FORK.

Review Of the Principal Mines Of this
Leading Tributary Of Wood River
The North Star, Morning Star, Venus,
and Silver Grown.
The mines of the East Fork of
Wood River, in Warm Springs Dis
trlct' and from six to twenty miles
from HALEY, have until recently been
but little noticed by the press and
public, but many of them have never
theless opened up so pronnisingly that
they must soon force themselves into
recognition.
Among these mines the North Star
stands foremost. Discovered by Will
helm Jaikowski in May, 1880, it made
several shipments of ore, the first year,
which yielded about 1920 per ton.
Most Of this money was, however,
squandered or improperly applied,
and the discOycrer was soon involved in
debt, and finally disposed of his inter-
est in the mine to J. o. Swift. In the
meantime, pending the transfer and
the decision of suit for the fore
closure of a mortgage given by the
principal owner, this property was
tied up for nearly two years, and the
many adjacent properties thus had a
"damper'' put upon them from which
they have not yet recovered.
The North Star lode is perhaps the
most prominent and most clearly de-
fined ore-vein to be seen anywhere in
the Wood River country. 1t runs
northerly and sou,herly, and at the
point where the work has been done
crops out fully 80 feet wide and shows
ore at different places for length of
$50 feet along the lode. Some work
is being done on the property at pres
ent and there are several hundred tons
OF ore out on the dump.
The Morning Star, the first south
extension Of the North Star mine,
was, after few days work, sold by
the discoverer to Mr.. Chesbro, of
Boise, for $4,000 cash. But little
besides representing work has since
been done on the claim, and good ores
have been found OH it wherever
opened.
The Venus is the second south ex-
tension Of the North Star. 1t was
discovered June 1, 1880, by V. Dom.
ski, and is now owed by him and L.
5. Austin, Superintendent Of the F'ris
co Utah) Smelling Works. This
mine has yielded some Of the finest
chloride, bromide, gray copper, car
Donate and galena ore found on the
East Fork, as it assayed as high as
*?,1l3 silver per ton. The work dcne
so far consists of two tunnels 40 feet
in length each, the upper one having
yielded the rich ore just mentioned,
while the lower one has not yet cut
the ledge. The Venus has lately
been bonded to parties in New York
city for $4,000, and is surely one of
the best properties offered in the min
ing market, for the price, this season.
The Silver Crown adioins the
Venus, and is the third south extern.
sion Of the North Star. \ Joint shaft
5xC feet has been sunk on the line be-
tween the Venus and Silver Crown to
depth of 20 feet, all the way in ore
and ledge-mattcr which shows well.
At the discovery point, near the CEN
ter of the Silver Crown, a 3O-foot drift
cut the lode, showing a width of seven
feet of carbonate and galena ore.

influence of trees upon the local climate,

tanning the humidity of the atmosphere

that the climate of a whole region may
