THANKS. We tender our thanks to
the ladies and gentlemen Of Phoebe and
the surrounding places for the generous
manner in which they responded to
our call for assistance, in aiding us in
liquidating the small debt that had been
incurred by the public schools. We are
happy to state, that financially, the Ball
and exhibition was complete success,
as we have been able to pay all indebted
ness, and have surplus Of twenty dol
lars, with which we intend to buy pres
ents as prizes for the scholars, to be
given to them at the end of the school
term. Respectfully,

D'ALESE MINING DISTRICT, January
rs, lSS4.-In answer to our many friends
we will answer through your columns,
giving the facts in regard to the mines as
they appear to us or any other men not
Interested in some whisky.mill, or some
other traffic along the road, to catch the
honest miners who have been lied to by
the traders who fixed for them last Fall,
and have been lying ever since to get
big crowd to come, so that they can make
few dollars off the travel, which they
are doing in good shape. You will re-
member that = man by the name of Coy
put piece in the paper while stop
ping at the st. Charles Hotel, giving q
flattering account of the mines, but the
dirty cur did not mention that he was a
trader and had stock of goods at the
mines which he expected to make money
out of. When we landed at Rathdrum
we happened to meet Coy there and he
went on to tell us that he had got big
fortune in ledge and that the placer
mines were paying big, all of which is
false. There is only one claim open,
which is called the Widows claim, and
they take out from s. to SIS day
while cleaning up the bedrock, but don't
forget that it takes them four or five days
to strip off what they can clean up in
day or less, SO you can see it does not
pay wages the best they can do.
A word to the people of Washington
county, with whom we are but little &C.
quainted, but they are all we'll known to
Courtney Meek. Meek told us at the
Occidental Hotel that he had claim on
Eagle creek that would prospect IS to
$5 to the pan. Now we will tell what
Dave and J. Clark told US: When Meek
left the mines he was in with some other
men in whip.sawing business, and sold
out to his partners, but did not have
money enough to come out with, and got
Dave Clark to 60 to = man in the Wild.
owls claim and buy him $26 worth of
specimens to raise big excitement
among the boys in Washington county.
Without exception, it is the most out.
rageous excitement that has been for
many year, and is bound to ruin many
a man. Gentlemen, take our advice and
stay away from the mines. If you 60 ia
any station or town along the road and
express an opinion that you intend to
write to the papers and stop your friend,
from coming, they will almost Jump YOU
for a fight in a minute. Theae are facts
and we don't ask anybody to take oul
advice, but come along and see; and il
any one says that we have not told the
truth after he comes and sees for him
self, as we have done, he can call us 8
set of liars. But there are hundreds il
the mines to-day who express themselves
as we do. We don't offer our advice tx
any one except our friends, and to then
we say: Stay at home, and don't b.
foolish, as we were, to believe every lii
you hear, because there nine lies to ever,
truth in regard to the Ceur d'Alen,
mines. Yours respectfully,
A. SUNDERLAND,
s. SEELYE,
MAT. WHrrE.

SAVING FINE GoLD.-The Alnador
Sentinel understands that V. Yelmini,
at the Oneida mine, has discovered a
process by which the fine float gold may
be saved in placer and gravel mines.
By this process, it is said, that mines
which heretofore would only pay about
twenty-five cents to tho hand will now
pay from from 81 to S.. He intends to
patent his invention, and then we may
expect revival in placer mining in this
vicinity. Under this process Mr.. yell
mini is successfully operating his mine
in Oneida Valley.

The Nugget claim, situated at what
was formerly known as the Chinese Gar
den at old Tuscarora on Mccain street,
about two and half miles southwesterly
from this town, says the Times-Review,
has been prospected long and faithfully
by George Redsull and VIM. Ford, its
owners, and their perseverance and in
dustry have at last been crowned with
success. Last week they commenced
drifting on blind ledge about 80 feet
from the mouth of the tunnel, which
they were running into the hill. Before
they had advanced North more than ten
feet the ledge had developed into an Is.
inch vein Of solid ore, assays from which
yield at the rate of $500 in gold and $50
in silver. The present breast shows a
lode Of fully the above dimensions and
containing scarcely a particle Of waste
rock. ~

A YOUNG lady, who was born and

removed to Los Angeles, California, was
there at the time General Hancock passed
through that town. Having never seen
a man of national renown, she, out of
curiosity, went to get peep at the Cen

of him: "He was sitting in the car
riage, looking worn and tired out, and
did nothing but chew filthy tobacco all

OLD TIMES IN WEST pENNsYL-
WANNA.
boys and Hog Drivers ON
the Frontier.

Cor, Of the New York Times.
Brought up ON the banks Of the Mo
nongahela river, in western Ponnsylva.
mia, | remember when Ohio was q from
tier state. Among my earliest recollec-
tiOus are those Of the stsgo coaches of
Stockton and Stokes on the old national
turnpike, between the express line be.
tween Baltimore and tho west and south
west. Trains of the white covered emf.
grant waguna en- route to Ohio and lndi.
ana were never out of sight. Later !
remember wildly what q furore the &C.
counts of the wonderful fertility of
the prairits of Illinois created
and the exodus of settlers from
western Pennsylvania. A fow short
intervening years, still u mere boy,
journoyed on horseback from the Mouon-
gahela to tho banks of the Illinois river,
bearing on my person the money to pay
for 800 head of cattle. The money was
in bills of the Monongahela bank of
Brownsville, and the Farmers and Dro.
vers bank of Wsynesburg, Pa The is.
sues of theae banks were current in
Illinois where tho bills of eastern banks,
and Of all but one bank in ptttsburg,
wers at n discount. At Wheeling, w.
Va, | secured Ohio bank notes to pay
my way acroes the state, and repeated
the exchange for Indiana. Thank God,
tho day of wildcat banks is gonel Tho
800 head of cattle had been fed on the
cheap Illinois corn, then often used as
fuel by the farmers of the prairie coun-
try, and were driven to Philadelphia.
From the time the grass was. as the
farmers used to say, ''knee high to a
duck, in the early spring till late in the
fall when the corn is ripe, droyes of cat.
tie, sheep, hogs, mules and horses made
endless procession along the old drove
road across Greene aud Fayette counties,
Pennsylvania. But the cowboys of those
days was an humble individual who
trudged on foot either in the lead or
bringing up the rear of the drove. He
was armed with a long whip made of
plated leather strips fastened to a short
hickory stick. The whip lash from a
half inch in diameter at one end gradu.
ally swelled to more than an inch and Ia.
pered to an eighth of an inch and termi-
mated in a silk ''cracker." The hickory
whip stick was about two and a half
feet long, tspering from an inch at
the butt to a half inch at tho top.
How an expert COW boy could handle one
of these instruments of torture! Many
Of them were ambidextrous. Swinging
the long lash above their heads with a
quick jerk they would produce a report
as loud as that of huntsman's rifle. lu.
deed the similarity of sound gave rise to
the saying: "Whip like report of the
kentucky rife" TIE ordinary drive
ola drove of cattle was from ak to ten
miles a day. A long and tedious journey
from Illinois to Philadelphia! But tho
cowboy was a superior being to the hog
driver. The latter was a digpised crea'
ture. The former boys always saluted
them with "Slong! forty cents u day
AMI no dinner"

Madison (Nebl Chronicle.
The big corn story liar la abroad in the
land. One Of our South Plat country
exchanges gets off the following; THE
little son of Mr.. B, living west of
town, got a ladder the other day and
stood it up against a cornstalk. He then
took a saw and climbing up about
twenty feet to the first ear, he proceeded
to straddle the ear and saw 1t off, but UNI
fortunately he sawed between himself
and the stalk, and was thrown to the
ground, breaking his arm" That's the
story. Now, then, somebody hold our
coat! We didn't intend mentioning n
fact that has come to our knowledge, but
when a South Platte prevaricator at
tempts to down this section on the corn
question, we will read him facts. Last
Saturday, while in conversation with Mr..
Ed Jenkins, Of Kalamazoo, the reporter
learned that an illicit distil
lery was in operation in one
of the %ravines near his residence, aud
the government was therefore being
defrauded out of a large amount OF
revenue. 1t appears that a man ar
rived in that neighborhood some time
since, and one night, with tho aid OF
a gang of laborers, dynamite, orowbarg,
etc no succeeded in prying off a kerneI
of corn from a big prize ear In Ed's field.
1t was then loaded on toa atone-boat and
hauled into the %ravine. The man then
bored into the kernel of corn with a two,
inch augur, put in a faucet, and now has
an unlimited supply of pure corn juice on
tap. The revenue officers should look
into this matter. When n first. class lie
is to be written up commend us to the
average South Platte editor, but when
you want to read the broad gusge truth,
our little George Washington pencil can
dish it up in quarter sections.

his wheat. He went homo and loaded
up another load of the same wheat and
got a neighbor, MI. Brown, to haul 1t to
kearney, aud Mr. Brown sold the same
identical wheat for SO cents per bushel.
Tho elevators had been stealing from
Mr. Olson q cents on every bushel Of
his wheat.
