SLEIGH RIDING UNDER DIFFICULTIES good Joke
Is told on our Boise City friends. Messrs. c. W.
Moore Cy. Jacobs and Austin Savage, who visited
Inc BASIN during the past week It appears that our
capital friends are well supplied with cutters and
sIeishs, and during the present Winter have been
anxiousy waiting for ae to fall deep enough in
the valley for them TO enjoy the luxury OF ride be-
hind the jingling bells Long and anxiously did
they wait aud they We're beginning 10 realize that
hope deferred maketh the heart slck" when 10 and
behold, they aroused from their slumbers one morn
ing last week to find the ground covered with aeecv
coat and the beautiful snow" stu falling. The
mercury indicated that even without chinook
wind, but little snow would be visible after few
hours. and determined be swiudlei out Of their
sleghr:de they had their team and sleigh ready
and providing themselves with the necessary aliancts
in the way Of refreshments etc. they started out on
The road TO Idaho. The weather had in the meantime
moderated TO such extent that friends who are
anything but light-weights. found that they would
have 70 hunt for more snow before getting into the
sleigh. Accordingly they started on foot each pro-
vidtd with umbrella, aud in a soaking ram
trudged through the mud for distance of five or
six miles up the canyon, driving the empty sleigh
until they reached the snow line when they gladly
bundled themselves into The sleigh thoroughly ex-
hausted. and thence continued their journey 10 the
Basin. In early days it said that. in crossing
the Basin, people walked over on the stage" but
think capital friends entitled to the credit
OF walking TIP to Idaho n sleigh. We admire their
pluck and perseverance, hope they enjoyed their ride

MORE SSow.-The snow covers the ground around
Idaho City the depth Of ut least four feet. while at
the other camps in the Basin it will exceed FIVE feet
in depth We have had several storms during the
past week, and during that time about foot Of
fresh has fallen. Miners can have no reason to
complain either rs to quantity or quality Of snow
now on the ground; and the only thing that pre-
vent from having prosperous mining season
this year, will be late breaking up Of Winter. An
early Spring is all we anxious for.

By their occasional use, the blood is purified, the corruptions of the sys tenn expelled, Instructions removed, and the whole machinery of life restored to it's healthy activity. Internal organs which become clogged and sluggish are cleansed by Ayer,s Pills, and stimulated into action. Thus incipient disease when reckoned on the vast multitudes who enjoy it, can hardly be computed. Their sugar coating makes them pleasant to take, and preserves their virtues unimpaired for any length of time, so that they are ever fresh, and perfectly reliable.
