BEAUTIFUL ATLANTA.

Surveyor Towne returned from
Atlanta Tuesday, where he had
been on a professional visit. He
reports everybody happy q. the
ssGarden City Of the Mountains"
and full Of hope for the future Of
this noted mining camp.
Rudolph Buehren's success in re-
ducing Buffalo ores is the talk Of
the town, and Rudolph has already
been voted the title Of general.
Since putting in the new Frue
vanner, with only five stamps drop
ping, Mr.. Buehren has crushed 200
tons of ore, which yielded sufficient
gold to pay for the vanner and all
improvements at the mill, the open
ing of the old mine and expense in

ing to over 1880. Besides thin
about 5000 worth of concentrates
from the same run Of ore have beer
shipped TO Denver for reduction.
The vein in the Buffalo mine
and from which the above men
toned ore was taken promiscuously
lis from ID To 20 feet in width, ane
the mine is now in such favorabl,
condition that but few men woule
be required to keep 20-stamp mil
running continuously. Indeed, thu
greatest expense, per ton, now at
| tached to the mining and milling o
the ore is that of hauling, which
costs $125 per ton.
Mr.. Buehren asserts that he car
now reduce ore at an expense no
to exceed 90 per ton, and that whei
he gets more stamps and vanner
at work the cost will be much less
Considering that the Monarcl
mine has a vein of good ore mucl
wider than that of the Buffalo, II i
reasonable to suppose that tn
Monarch owners will, after learning
Of Rudolph's success commence op
erations again in their mine ant
mill, with improved machinery.
Mr.. Gaetz's 5-stamp mill wa
about completed when our infor
mant left, and in all probability !
now in full motion.
Mr.. Towne believes that Atlanti

will eclipse all former ones.

THE ormIn MILF.

Notwithstanding the Indictment
weather Of the past week, Colonel
Thexton and General Manager j. G.
Boyd are pushing the Ophir new
mill building with redoubled energy.
The foundation, which contains $50
perch Of stone, is a solid and mag
nificent structure. The concentrate
ing floor was completed Tuesday
and the battery flsor is doubtless
finished by this writing. The
mill building lie 95x130 feet, the
frame work Of which will be COM
pleted within tho next ten days.
The frame timbers are of immense
size and when completed it will be
the most secure structure in Idaho.
Colonel Thexton hopes TO have the
mill and hosting works completed
by the first day of January next,
and will do so provided no unfor-
seen drawbacks occur.
The new lodging house. 24x4O
feet, with reading room lSx24 feet
attached is completed and occupied
by the laborers.
A nice company Office, 24x36 feet
has also been recently built, and
the managers can while away their
leasure hours in comfort.
The new three compartment shaft
has been started, and with three
shifts Of men is going down rapidly
1T is 5x13 feet in the clear. Steve
Oglesby is experimenting the shaft
and mine, which alone is guaran
tee that each will be conducted in
manner advantageous to the
ophir stockholders.
A large tank is TO be built for the
reception Of water from the Ophil
ditch, and many other improvement
are to be made as fast as lumber
and carpenters can be obtained.
Casey, Holland & Shoots sawmil
below town and Correy's mill neal
the Ophir works are each running
night and day to supply the Ophil
demand for timbers and lumber.
Seventy-five men are now EN-
ployed by the Comfort Con. Com
pany, and the many shareholder
scattered throughout the United
States who have been writing to thu
editor of the BULLETIN for informa
ton regarding the Ophir, are as
sured that their splendid mining
property is in good hands here ant
that they will eventually reap
rich reward for their investment.

MISERABLE WHEELS.

The following from the Wood
River Times is so applicable to
Rocky Bar and vicinity that we re-
publish it not only for its truthful
ness but TO let our readers know
that the reliable newspapers Of the
country are showing up such scoun-
drels in their proper light. How
ever, we can say, with pardonable
vanity we trust, that by the efforts
of the BULLETIN and good public
sentiment this class OF people has
been materially thinncd out in this
section:
There is in HALEY as there are in
every mining community q class Of
men who make business OF forcing
themselves in on every mining sale
and il they are not satisfied in some
way they will injure property by cir
culating damaging reports about 1t.
One may say that a mine ought 70
stand on its own merits and defy adj
verse criticism; but no mine does
ositively none--because Of the weap-
ons made use Of by this class of peo-
pie. There is n sufficient amount oil
uncertainty about mining, which they
their purpose. II is true that the un-
certainty has been reduced TO a mini.
mum by modern methods OF examina.
/ tica; yet mine Is like woman's
reputation--a breath Can blast !. In
the palmy days of the Comstock
when shares were selling as high Al
$500 and $1,000, when the Bonanzs
mines bad in sight 500, 0O0, 900, Q
whisper among the San Francisc.
brokers ON Pine street adverse to the
property would frequently, in tho
course OF an hour, send stocks down
800 per share, and cause shrinkag'
OF millions. The fact is, no mine viii
stand the attack Of professional
blackmailer. As a consequence oul
legitimate mining men are compelle.
TO shroud their movements with th,
greatest mystery, cover up their foot
steps, and when they approach the
contamination OF deal IL is with feal
and trembling. Even then, when q
trade Is regarded as about closed, on'
OF these tin-horn experts will insin
uate himself ON the scene, and il husl
money is not Immediately forth-com
ing or guaranteed, he sets TO work in
the most sneaking and centemptibl,
manner to break up the transaction
This business has been endured b,
our Wood River mining men unit
patience has ceased TO be virtue
II the sale OF well-developed an,
meritorious mining property was ,
merely private transaction, in which
the public had no concern, 1t nigh
be out OF place 10 refer 10 the subjec
here, but we are all concerned in se
curing capital for the purpose OF de
veloping our mines. This ieurna
stands ready at all times TO aid in thf
laudable work and to denounce III,
injurious and sneaking methods of ~
