TURNED UP AGAIN.—The man Robinson, who led off the San Francisco party after quartz last season, in the vicinity of the Palouse, has again turned up in San Francisco, with a large amount of rich quartz, and is "hand and glove" with those whom he spirited away last season. Persons in this town saw him there, and report that his representations there produce much excitement among quartz men. He declares he will not define the locality of his lead, till he can do so without being followed by a crowd, but only by those whom he chooses.—Lewiston Journal.
