Dear sir: During tlie past few vours I have see n ninny different kinds of ores, especially gold, copper, lead, silver, zinc and iron, but I never lie fore saw so fine a lot of ores containing compounds of gold, silver nnd copper with so large a per ccntage of these valua ble metals as wits shown in.1 to-day from t lit mines of the Alta-Idaho Mining Company. Anyone of these minerals is there in siillicient quantities to pay well for tin-mining.

HUGH PONNKLLV. PRICES OF COAL. The following are prices of coal delivered: No. 4, 5.50; No. 5, 5.75 ; No. 6, 4.25. It costs 2s cents a ton less at the yard. These prices are far above what was ever charged before, and now t hat the famine is over and the supply is once more far ahead of the demand, there is no reason why the prices should be kept up so high. It is not the fault of the local dealers, who have no control over it. They are obliged to sell at prices fixed by the opera tors. If the Strike Commission should report in favor of increased wages for the miners and an eight hour day, the consumers will have to foot the bill, and the price of coal will soar for .some time to come.
