LETTER FROM ROARING RIVER.
ROARING RIVER, June 25th.

ROARING RIVER, June 25th.
Ed. COURIER :-Thinking few items from
the southern part of the county might prove
of interest to some of your readers / send
such as can gather.
The Bald Hills are the most peculiar feature
Of this part of the County. and occupy con.
siderable extent of territory between the
Middle and North Forks of Cottonwood -
| They are not, as their name would indicate
destitute Of vegitation, but in the contrary
are better supplied with clover, grass and
wild oats than any other part Of the surround
ing country. If these Hills were. fenced off,
they would prove much more valuable than at
present, even for grazing and stock raising
purposes, as the range would thereby be
protected from rowing stockmen and preserved
from the benefit of permanent settlers. If
these lands were sold by the Government to
actual settlers the county would be greatly
benefited by the change.
Roaring River and vicinity possesses many
natural advantages which certainly ought to
attract a large population. The three mining
bitches traversing this section are now in
good repair and cover some of the best placer
mines to be found lin the State. The best
diggings here are now found lin the banks
and bars from five to fifteen feet deep and
can be worked to the best advantage by using
blasting powder and hydraulic pipes At
Al e.. ~ Al
stream for the reason that theditches afforded
but a limited amount of water until recently.
Now the supply Of water is more abundant
than at any time during the past six years
and is sold to miners at the low rate of eight
cents an inch. There is any amount of un-
claimed ground covered by the bitches which
will pay steady and industrious miners ex-
cellent wages.
Roaring River and Middle Fork of Cotton
wood run nearly parallel and are only half
a mile apart where they empty into the North
Fork of Cottonwood. The Middle Fork is a
beautiful mountain stream and a number of
fine farms are located along its banks. There
is also few rich mining claims on this
stream which are worked every season.
The fact is our miners, farmers, and stock
raisers are all prospering and we'll satisfied
to remain in this locality.
Stock is raised here with scarcely any ex-
pense or trouble, no barns or sheds being re-
quired to protect animals from sleet and snow.
Here is certainly the place for those to come
who desire to engage in raising horses, mules,
CATTLE sheep and hogs. Two schools are
taught in this neighborhood every summer
and fall, and community is pleasant and
social Let those seeking homes come this
way. Yours,
WAKE UP.
