Indian Tr0ubleA

Governor Stevenson has received Pc
titiou with one hundred and four sigma
lures of the citizens of Owyhee county
stating that there are about three hundred
Indians (nostly bucks) camped in the
jumpers about thirty miles south of Sill
yer City, and that they have killed
number of the settlers cattle, besides
getting drunk and terrifying the women
and children and acting in a very hostile
manner. The settlers earnestly request
that these Indians be returned at once to
their reservations, as they are terrorizing
the people of that section, and causing
them to abandon their ranches and in
many instances leave their homes and
stock, to the mercy of the Indians, in or
der to reach some favorable place where
they can fortify themselves. On receipt
of the petition the Governor at once sent
letter accompanied by the petition to
the Secretary Of the Interior, at Wash
ngton.-Democrat, Gath.
Troops have been ordered to the
scene of the disturbances and will
no doubt rapidly check the hostile
propensities of the redskins.

We learn that parties from Ogden
are. prospecting for placer mines
aldhg Snake river, in this county,
and that the outlook in placer is
very encouraging. If ground can
be found that will justify the ex-
penditure, a wheel will be built to
elevate the water from Snake river
that may be needed to prosecute
the work. We certainly wish them
abundant success in the enterprise.

A vein of natural gas has been

The Ramshorn mine yields about
80 tons of dry ores carrying from so
to 1900 ounces per ton daily, and
the Beardsley about 80 tons per day.
The yield could easily be doubled
if the works could turn it into bull
ion; but they cannot. Besides,
there is much trouble in getting it
out of the country. Several car

A FROST covered the ground II

A FROST covered the ground in
some parts of the valley one day
last week, and few patches of po-
tatoes were nipped. It is notable
fact that those on Trail creek and
other localities showed no signs of
it's effect, and from this the con-
clusion is drawn that the frost ex-
tends in streaks over certain por-
tons of the country, leaving others
untouched. After determining its
usual course, the ranchers will here
after locate their potato and other
vegetable patches accordingly.
