Mr. Smith, Of Idaho City, will be at
this place in few days with bis dal-
nv cows to make butter for the sea
son. A kiln Of 100000 brick was

about a mile distant, There is a

south Of More creek summit and
north; the former being much lar

latter. There are large tracts north
of the summit covered with very
thick growth Of a species Of tamarack,
about the proper size for railroad ties,
very tall and very straight. Along
the route to-day we have passed some
beautiful groves Of q species Of fir or
spruce, with the tips of the limbs hay

trasted with the deep green foliage Of
the trees, gave them charming aD-

where to the disgust of the horses, the
feed is mainl y pine and tamarack.
