Judge Wyche is old official in the Territory,

ter addressed to DR.. She'll, and dated Fort Shep-
herd, January 9th, furnishes the following items;
1--WE have new dggingG on tributary Of the
KootenAi River, within Al miles Of this place.
About thirty claims have been recorded on
Forty-Nine Creek, but the stream has not been
thoroughly tested. The discoVerers took out
S45 whilst prospecting. Another stream little
below Forty-Nine prospects we'll, and so think
we may expect small mining camp up there
somewhere. A man named King, was drowned
whilst running a rifle on the Kootenai. No
particulars. Another man named George Tin
line, was found dead on the Salmon River trail,
about three weeks since. He had been out trap
ping and had starved to death, at least we think
so. as he had not an ounce of food on him when
found. By letters on his person it was ascer-
tanned that be has a brother living At Union,
Union county, Oregon. We have had a very
mild winter no frost to hurt, and only four
inches OF snow"
