FROM T. S. HARRIS, who returned from Atlanta and Rocky Bar last Tuesday evening, we learn the following items:

The Last Chance mine, at Atlanta, is looking a good deal better than ever. It is from one foot to three feet wide. Gold is plainly visible through all the rock. This mine, which was offered for $1,000 a few months ago, could not now be bought for $50,000.

Taylor and Harmen arrived at Rocky Bar Monday and intended to play there the same evening.

Jo? Yes, J. And his name is Jo!

A lady of color, residing on the Payette, recently was intrusted with the keeping, nurturing, fostering, protecting and rearing of an offspring, and having been informed by christian people, that our Saviour was found in a manger, concluded that she would imitate the example by doing likewise. He was found, and immediately he was named Jo. Perhaps after the Mormon Prophet, Jo Smith: perhaps not. But if he had been called Andy J., we should readily have concluded that he was called after Andrew Jackson.
