 Principally speaking the news to- day is that the two mills at the fisceretss, which arc in stoDe's throw os each other, are running night and day and proving 8 sue cess. The camp is said to be alive and more work is going on in deyel- oPmeni than for yesrs and sone sales are said to be on tap.
 The Bordeaux mine on uppsr Big Bug. under lease and bond 10 Mr. e Cram, and the property Of Fred hIef of this city, is also the scene of active hfe, and a new steam hoist is being placed on it. This claim is saId to be % the same belt as that oi the Crook and is so favorahly rated as to warrant the expenditnra of much money.
