worthy citizen.
On the 9th day of the same month,
late in the eveing, mans voice was heard
in the direction of the Florida Mountain
calling for help. Immediately party of
twenty-five or thirty men proceeded has
tily to his relief; Mr.. r. Ii. Tregaskis
volunteered his services and took with
him two bottles Of genuine spirits fer
medical purposes, and after a desperate
struggle and tedious journey, they reach
ed the sufferer he had been there all
day wearying in the snow, but as the day
was so boisterous he could not be heard
until late in the evening of which the
storm had somewhat subsidized The
spirits was applied property, and then
he was brought to town, and by PROPER
care, he was soon sound man again
These little incidents we will pass over,
and refer our readers to the excitement
that prevailed in Owyhee in regard to
the scarcity of provisions.
AS we mentioned before, in the month
of March our camp was almost destitute
of supplies; and the people became very
much excited as to what would be done,
providing the storms continued, to rescue
starving people, But during the e.
citement, news was circulated that car
go CT flour had reached the foot of the
mountains and could come no further
Immediately large party started to Sc
cure the -four in hearing, some on snow
shoes, some with hand sleighs and some
footose, but they did not all get over,
some of them froze their feet and hands
and some gave out and had to return dis.
appointed but those who reached their
destiny, met with success, and accom-
plished their designs by advancing $40
per cwt. in coin or an average per cent in
dust, and returned much fatigued of their
journey.
1t is but proper to say, those men
who fortunately had sufficient quantity
of provisions, perhaps for themselves,
but owing to the scarcity, delt it out to
his craving neigbors without regard to
Partially, deserves credit even now for
their generosity and kind deeds and we
feel it our duty not to pass them unno-
ticed. Among these particular individ-
uals, We find Col. d. II. FOCUS, of at that
time, Silver City, first on the list. Il is
Familiarity known to our readers that Col.
FOCUS and Marian Moore were carrying
on an extensive business in mining and
milling processes in Owyhee, and, in fact,
the only firm that added any thing favor
able to the future prosperity Of the camp.
Consequently the good will ola the peo-
pie were conferred upon them as their
guiding Star, ard for their maintenance.
and as it we're, they had under their EN-
ploy at the time, about one hundred men,
and sufficient provisions for home COM
modify; but as a man and a gentleman,
hesitated not one moment to share with
his unfortunate friends, who we're con-
stantly at his hands asking for bread. -
No, we venture to say be did not turn a
cold shoulder nor deaf ear to one who
came to him for assistance.
And on another occasion, we noticed
that A. P. Minear, was not found lack
ing, but generously subjected himself to
share the burdens of his fellowman BY
dividing his only scant supply, without
any distinction or partisan feeling toward
any.
Many other instances of similar occa-
