EDITORS TRIBUNE Il have moth
ing of special importance in the wa,
of news to write you to-day that vii
be of interest to you and your nu
merous readers. South Pass City, a
the present time, does not exhibi
that life, hustle and activity in tn
way of business 1t did one month ago
The building for this season, 1 pre-
diet, is over and many of the journey
men carpenters hayepulled up stake
and taken their departure for Other
parts. There is not the same rush o
trade among the merchants that Their
has been for the last two months
and, judging from the present stand
point, there ia not likely to be any
improvement before next spring
Dry goods and clothing merchants
are weeping and Wailing for custo-
mers, and better times. They carry
too heavy stocks for the condition Of
the country, which is blunder OF
their own and does not exhibit as much
foresight and sagacity as should
characterize shrewd business men
This state of things occurs in all new
mining camps, which is in manner
made up of class of rowing popu-
lation from all parts of the States
A better state of things will prevail
next season I; trade will come down to
a more regular system-establish con-
fdence among all good citizens who
have east their .ot here for the devel.
opment of the rich treasures conceal
ed in the bowels of the mountains. The
wealth is here in abundance all that
is wanting are men of capital, energy
and will and determination to go
ahead. There are quite number of
good go-ahead operators here at pres
ent, but there is plenty of room for a
thousand more to make safe and
profitable Investments in the mining
business. Good lodges are numerous,
and can be discovered by the most in
experienced But that is not all af-
ter you have discovered good paying
lodges, (and in many cases these
ledges are found by poor men who
are unable to develop them, it re-
quires capital to develop them, and
test their richness. Nov, it is the
capitalist that is wanted in Wyoming,
and when the right men possessed of
a will and determination to come and
to join hands with those capitalists al
ready here, this mining region will
make such rich disclosures, I an free
to say,as will astonish all other mining
regions on the American continent,
and perhaps the world New discov-
cries are being made almost every week
in the Sloshone Mining District, and
On the California side, some twelve or
fifteen miles from South Pass. Among
the numerous lodges in this region
that are paying, viii be found tho
Young America, now nWnaa and work
ID by company of capitalists from
fifin, Ohio; the CarisO by company
rom Salt Lake; the Lone Star, the
Silas Wright, the Atlantics, the Man,
uUti1J ana the MINERS Der1gnr. The
Miners Delight is considered, so far,
he best in Wyoming--averaging
lbOut $40 per ton in gold, The east
md of this ledge, 7O3 feet, purchased
BY Col. G. M. Ogden, of Seneca Co.,
Ohio, Mr.. Metheny, of this place, and
others from Cheyenne, proves to be
very valuable. A shaft has been
sunk to test the richness of tho
quartz, and it yielded, l am informed,
s52 per ton.
The Young America Company have
their mill, which is now In
successful operation, and are crushing
heir own quartz. The mill works
'plendidly, and reflects much credit and
good judgment on the part of Capt.
NJ: NJ. Barnes, the builder. 1t has been
thoroughly examined through all its
ramifcations by experienced men from
Colorado and Montana, and was pro-
nounced the best mill that they had
ever seen.
1t is predicted that the quartz from
the Young America mine will turn
out a larger yield of the "ready" than
any other in this region. 1t is de-
cidedly the richest looking quartz,
showing much free gold, and the deep
er the shaft is sunk the more valuable
it proves to be.
