(jin., TUESDAY A UGUST IH\ ", 881 • 111 Official Orjfan of Talbot County. 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.
