from Salmon city.
Four years ago this SUNNI II, left
Boise city in the employment of Mr..
A. M. Thompson, Deputy surveyor
The other members of the party were
Messrs. j. M. Thompson, VIM. b.
Thcws, Campbell, and Kossu.h Gal
Undo. These gentlemen are all alive
and able to speak in reference to tie
work done OH the trip.
The Surveyors Generals instructions
were to extend the Base Line of the
Territory for enough east to allow a
meridian run north to pass near Sal
mon city. A weeks walk from Boise
City brought us to the eastern terrni.
nus of the Base Line. We extended
it till our furthr progress was rem
dered impossible by the lava beds, and
again turned east. ,'nce more we
were compelled to turn north on &C.
count ofthe lave beds. Turning east
again, the surveyor continued in his
course till he thought he was about
in the longitude of Salmon city. The
The compass was turned to the north
and the running of the meridian line
was begun. One evening after two
months hard work, we descended a
steep mountain side and found our
selves as we hoped, in the long looked
for Lemhi Valley.
We saw our camp making for a
house away in the distance After
finishing our days work we set ont to
reach camp, arriving late in the even
ing. You may imagine our surprise
when told that we were at Red Rock
station in Montana. Next NOR, ing
we returned to our work and ran west
from the last corner we established.
We d d not retrace the line to the sum-
init of the Rocky mountains and then
make the Offset from that point. ''De
mos" speaks the truth in his state
ments III reference to this fact. On
this offset west we crossed the upper
portion of the Lcmhi valley. O1set-
ting north we passed near Salmon city
and ran two tier of township lines
none of whicll included the city.
In reference to the map u,ust ac-
knowledge that your correspondent
from Salmon city is correct. The map
represents the line as it should he and
not as it is. Why this contradiction
between the work and the map of the
work leave the readers of this arti-
Gle to deter mine. 1t was much easier,
Mr. Editor, to correct the mistake on
paper than to retrace line on which
you had to Chamber up steep noun
tain side. You will readily see the
force of that argument; and yet it
would be much easier for men to re-
trace the line to the summit of the
Rocky mountain and then start west
than to make map of the above de
scription. Doubtless Mr.. A. NJ
Thompson, the deputy Surveyor, can
clear up all of these points to the sat
isfaction of Demos" and great many
Others.
must say that Demos is to be pit
ted. He should remember that sur
veying in Idaho is not an exact science
aud that little mistakes like this are
liableto occur. He should try to cul
tivate his patience aud pray earnestly
for souch additions to his faith as will
allow him to see things as others see

the hired men ON that trip. They had
nothing to say. They did their work

MI. McFadden is interested in sew
eral lodges, bothin Yankee Fork and
Bay Horse district, and has lived in
that section for about a year He
thinks Yankee Fork will in time prove
to be as good, if not better than any
quartz camp on the Pacific Coast, and
having made quartz mining his bust
ness for the past twenty years, his
opinion is worth something.
Over one hundred men will winter
in Yankee Fork; most of them will
work claims of their own.
The Gen. Custer N. 2. owned by Mr..
WcFadden, is one hundred feet in
width, and seven hundred feet III
length, and the ore assays from 5000
to $500 per ton III silver, and there
is also a large per cent OF gold.
Lucky Boy, owned by McAdere,
is ten feet wide, and it assays from
$500 10 $500 per ton. The Anna lode
owned by Culver & Co., averages
about the same in width and value OF
ore.
The Continental is exposed to the
sight far distance of six to seven
hundred feet. The vein is from ten to
twenty feet wide, and the ore worth
all the way from 500 to $1,000 per
ton in both gold and silver. This
ledge is owned by Chris. Mowyer,
Larry Sexton and Mike Myer.
Esq. Falls owns the Badger. He
has struck ore worth from twenty-five
cents to twenty five dollars per pound,
and silver rock from 500 TO $500 per
ton. The vein is from five to fifty feet
wide, and is exposed a distance OF
500 feet.
The Eureka lode, owned by Meyer,
Mowyer and others pays from 5000
$500 per ton. The pay seam is from
SIX to eighteen inches wide.
All the above named lodges are on
t! same mountain with the Unknown
and Gen. Custer No. |; and bear a
CO resemblance in quality of ore.
Several good lodges lodges are To-
cat d on Jordon Creek. across Yankee
Fork from those above mentioned.
Among the principal ones is the
Charles Dickens, owned 10y Norton &
Co, the bonanza of the Yankee
Fork district. The ore is worth from
5000 to $4,000 per ton.
The Chas. Wayne, Sonotia and
Lake lodges arc owned by Curtis Els.
ties. They are from five TO ten feet
wide, and can be traced for distance
of one thousand feet in length, and
prospect equally as we'll as the sur
rounding lodes.
The hidden Treasure owned by
Capt. Varney and others, is five feet
wide and the ore worth $3.50 per ton.
The Montana lode is vein from
FIVE to six feet wide, and assays all
the way from $3.50 to 81, 200 per ton
this ledge is owned by Jas. Hooper
and others.
The Idaho lode is from five to eight
feet wide, and contains both gold and
silver Specimen assays have been
made, the lowest being 5000 and the
highest $1,000 per ton. Sandburn
Il McFadden are the proprietors.
The Fraction lode runs parallel with
the Chas. v ayne, and commences at
lie north stake of the Montana. As
says have been made OF the ore which
goes $500 to 500 per ton, III gold
