Editors Uvrald: By notice posted in Ophir mining I district, and which the recorder also sends to Salt Lake city for publication j in the Herald, aud probably in other papers, it seems that the miners of! Ophir, and the recorder have taken' a fireat fright over a friendly meeting of their neighbors down in Stockton. ; Tho holiday reason in this locality, generally dull, is likely to bo spiced this year with a paper bullet skirmish. The recorder of Ophir in his notice says that the mines of this district are I "changing the southern boundary line j of said Rush vallry milling district, and i intciicriu! with the northern boundary line of Ophir mining district." Now the fids are tiniply imt the dividing j line bet wet u t lie two districts has never i been mn and mnrkod, until done by the recorder of lui-h valley at tho re- i ijuest of miners in this canon, nnd they happen to bo the only men directly ! and nirt interested in finding out I where the line actually would run. : Oplii'. district was termed out of a ; p;rt ul Huh Vailey di-trietiu August, j iS, and ti'y iiA on a place known . ;i- lljd l.iuii's, at tho loot of the West ' .'lount.ii.i tor a .Urtitig point, then to 1 run exue.ly e:t." lo the ctiuimit of the nni'Jiiuiiis. This lino was never run wii'i correct surveying instruments , until this week, and it is found, just what we have always claimed, that it nuts acro.vi Dry uaiion, and throws ! all the luiues in the north part of this canon into Kuh Valley district.
