LETTER FEOM IDAHO
Centerville, Idaiio, Ang, 12 th, 1881.
Rsuikteb k Standard: Please pardon
my seeming negligence in complying
with the dot let of n -'Special correspon
dent, “ lor I have found pastime and em
ployment in placer mining, the chief
pum ut of the p ople ot this section, and
one ho fascinating nml confining that I
h tvo ha l little time ami no inclination
to M hW the mighty pen.** Tlie pick,
well piled, and me pipe, well handled
are powerful weapona, and afford more
profitable employment tbun the pen, es
pecially where brawn m better developed
than bruins (no honest confession.) They
add new pleasures to the pill >w and pal
let, and yon can sty with Solomon, “the
sleep of n laboring man is sweet,** wheth
er bo eat little or much.** They would
destroy the appetite of a Oriscoin or
Tanner for a diet of water and wiggle
tails, to such an extent, that either would
rather attempt the feat of I'olonel Mar
ct-llus Thornton,the hero ot thirty quails,
than to De the hero of u hundred quacks.
If you want to know how mining is
t arried on in this country, come with me
und take a bird's-eye view IVe will go
up on that little hill out there, about six
thousand feet above the level of the sea.
Now look to the west that town high up
on the mountain side is '*Quartzburg,*
; eight miles off. There is a onartz mill
i there, amt it is run profitably—and we
j won't bother it. Tn it town lower down
1 on the mountain side is PI toerviile,about
lour miles irom us. Look now to the
north, well, that town is Pioneorville,
known to the natives as "Hognai," be
cause of iho inordinate acquisitiveness of
its first settlers. That is Grimes Creek i
near by, and the same stream that Cen
trevilb is on. Higher up in the rnoun
tains it has its origin. Near Hognm it
has water enough to warrant the building
of a ditch. Do you ee it? It common
ces there where the miners have seen
proper to darn the stream. It is a large
ditch and carries 1000 luches of water.
You see as it comes this way,it leaves the
creek and gets higher up the hillside.
That bridge like structure, you see south
ot Gentreville, is a flume carrying the
water of this ditch across Henry's creek,
and is one hundred and two ieet high.
The ditch to this point is about fifteen
miles long and about five miles on a bee
line from where it started, arid about
150 feet higher than the water in Grimes
creek opposite this flume. You can
mine any claim with the wa er from this
ditch, that is located below , provided
you have permission, and will pay 12 1-2
c nts for each inch ot water you use in
24 hours. In 1860 water sold hero at one
doll ir an inch. The price has declined
gradually until the pie<eut time, and
unless more vain a bled aims c in be found,
yon can soon get it like you can in Ueor
gin, ‘Without money and without price.*
Now let us go down there and look at
Ah Lun and his Chinaman. They will
great yon with a smile and ‘halloo, John'
You mast grin and endure it, for that i*
all tbe King's English they have accu
mulated m thirty years, if they get go
they can say, ‘Good by, John,* in thirty
more, they will bo considered apt China
men. These six boxes you hoo here are
'sluice boxes,' each box is 12 feet long.
10 inches wide, and 12 inches deep. You
nolice the ends where they loin each oth
er are woll clunked. They have dug
into the lnllaivlo yonder, and put the
bead ed these boxes on the bed rock.
These plank fitted in tLo mouth and di
verging lorra a ‘dutchman, 4 to force the
wAftbiusß into the -sluice boxes.* These
scantling iu the bottom of the sluice
boxes form tho riffles that cause the gold
j t.o settle. They are 3x4 inches, and put
in lengthway of the boxes, and about one
moll apart. Now, that little flumo you
see jonder, bringing the water from that
ditch, direotly over this claim, is a ‘tele
graph* to this is a 'penstock,' and to this
tbe hose,' is attach oil, to convey the wat-
era to the bead ot the aluioe boxes. This
hoao is Bix inches in diameter, and made
ot heavy cot to u ducK. To the lower end
of the hoao is fastened a metal ‘pipe,* the
noxxle of which is adjustable. They are
now using one 2 inches in diameter. It
is suspended as you see from a ‘tripod/
with feet about 8 foot long, Get out ot
: the way now, if you don't won't to get
I spattered—that Chinaman at the ditch
yonder lias turned on the water. The
man at the pipe don’t mind it, his rub
, ber boots and apron render bun water
proof. Now, look liow it has cut its way
into the hillside, there is a hide you eau
hide a h audio ul in. made iu a few minu
tes. That is ‘surla e* he is now washing,
; ami there is little or no gold in it. The
gold is lower dowu iu a streak ot gravel !
next to the boj rock, and iu the surface j
ol the bed rock. You see ho is going
toward the center ot the hill, as Jaoon as
he j'ipt'B down low enough, he under
wines the bank in front of him by cut
ting under with tne pipe along the sur
face of the bed rock—this causes the j
bank to cave in, and it is rapidly washed
into a race dug m the bedrock, leading
to our dutchuian, and into the sluice
boxes Quicksilver has been sprinkled
in the riffles—thus ea‘ehea the gold and
keeps it from washing out of the boxen.
As much, or wore gold, settles on the
bedrock and in the race as is carried into
the boxes. To clean them requires much
time and labor. It is most success!ally
done by picking, scraping aud sweeping.
1 There the bedrock is very hard, it is
Dcce&t&ry to go through the process sev -
end *ime, Tire cleanings are carried in
wheeloorrows to the mouth of the sluice
boxes, aud piped through. The amal
gam is now taken from the boxeo,and the
quieksilrer filtered out tbiough buck
skin, or stout cloth. The remaining
quicksilver is removed by retorting
The dust is then ready for the assay er.
It is alloyed with silver, and assays from
twelve to twenty dollars an ounce. It is
current here before assaying, at sixteen
dollars an ounce.
The more extensive miters ol this seo
tion use a “chief, “ instead ot a pipe, and
iron pipes instea l of hoee.
Quarts mining has received bat little
- atttßLon here,. The lew small mills now
jin operation are doing welL Th< recent
discoveries iu the Wood River region, in
I the 8 atbenKtfni part of th Territory,
arc said to be the 1 ichest silver deposits
ui the Ufteat West. Bellevue and Haley
arc its two cities, that have risen in a day
und want no higher renown than to rival
Lend v life, Colorado.
The white ui ncr lives well, in a good,
comfortable cabin, furnished with all the
j necessaries of a well ordered household,
excepting a wife, unless you count her
among the luxuries. He does his own
cooking, and enjoys it with ns much rel
ish, as thoae who are fond of a neighborly
stew, on a family broil. He does his own
washing, with the aid ol one cat to clean
the plates and dishes, and likes his
clothes unstarched und don’t burn them
out with a hot iron. He does tiot growl
if a button Is gone troiu bisr shiit, nor
darn his socks, on account of a bole in
the heel. His hospitality is unbounded,
and ho is not afraid to ask a frit nil to
dinner. The butter's out, the *ugai‘s
out, the bams oul and I wish I was out,
sung in sweet sopranno, has never sent a
thrill ol terror through his soul. It his
friend is a modern inieuwber, he wont
have to wait long for something to ‘turn
up.* The miner does not hide it in the
wood shed, where bis son can‘t find it.
He keeps it handy, and while he prizes it
highly for its many medecinal qualities,
it is valued chiefly at this time as an an
tidote for the bite of the mosquito. It is
applied internally, like the Southern
fishermen use it f >r the bite of a snake—
-Ihe more taken before being bitten the
less you have to tike. Mosquitoes are
abundant here, and hardy. A dozen
heavy frosts in July did not dissatisfy
them with this section. They continue
to settle here and put in their claims,
and make the poor miner so mad he
can‘t sec, till he gefs an eye opener
nqoa vitea. The miners are anxious to
spare their present bliss with the fair
sex, and and are ready to do honor to
that prophet who shill successfully
preach, ‘Go West, girls, go west!*
Wages are good here; a white mange:
lour dollars and a Chinaman, two and a
half dollars per day. There is not that
much difference, really, for the China
! man refuses to wear Hngr nails that will
accumulate less than a dollar and a half***
worth of gold dust per day And yet.
with these wages few of the day laborers
are prosperous. For six months in each
year profitable employment is hard to
find, and the necessaries of life are so
high that a reconstructed rebel seeks
consolation in singing, ‘When this cruel
war is over.* The successful tew nr- no
ted for industry, euergy and economy:
qualities calculated to win success in any
u-icful calling.
My sojourn here has satisfied me that
lain not suited to the civilization of
the Great West* The future holds no
hope of preferment, no pinnacle of fame
for that pioneer who In six m -nths, has
struck no bonanzi, hung no heathen
ehinee, scalped no friendly Indian, nor
murdered ‘nary Mexican 4 My inclina
tion is to ry the enlightened East and
take mv chances, ns the model cashier
of a modern bank, or the discreet presi
dent of a prosperous star route.
Please see that the fitted calf is secure

car conductor* to keep that civilized
clothing convenient the prodigals coin
