ty of ammunition, and should Indian
bravado lead them to raid in the vicin-
ity Of Salmon City they will undoubt-
edly get a warm reception.
Messrs Nasholds and Mcdonald, Of
this place, have been awarded the
mail contracts between Salmon City
and Yankee Fork, and from Bannock
Junction to Bannock City. The for
mer is weekly mail while the latter
is a tri-weekly. There is some talk Of
putting on tri weekly mail from here
to Bonanza or Yankee Fork, as the
mail that accumulates here daring the
week amounts to several hundred
pounds and is increasing daily.
Joseph Fifcr, who owns a two third
interest in the Custer mine at Yankee
Fork, made application, short time
since, for charter to build wagon
road between Challis and Yankee
Fork, but did not come to any agree
msnt with the Commissioners; in 9TH
er words failed to comply with GER
tain agreements laid down by them.
This of course leaves the chance open
for capitalists of moderate means to
invest. A good stock company with
a capital of $4,000 or $4,000 could
very easily double the capital invest
ed before two years. There is no
doubt III the least but Yankee Fork is
destined in time to be one of the live
hest mining camps on the Pacific
Slope. A good toll road from Challis
to Yankee Fork is fortune to any
company or private individual that
will undertake the enterprise.

Nations without Fire.

According to Pliny, fire was long
time unknown to some of the ancient
Egyptians; and when Exodus, the
celebrated astronomer, showed it to
them, they were absolutely in rapture.
The Persians, Phpnecians, Greeks and
several other nations acknowledge
that their ancestors weresonce without
the use of fire, and the Chinese con-
fess the same of their progeuitors.
Pompanion, Mola, Plutarch and other
ancient writer's speak of nations who,
at the time they wrote, knew not of
the use of fire or had Just learned
II. Facts of the same kind are also
attested by several modern nations.
The inhabitants of the Marian Islands,
which were discovered in 1851, had
no idea of fire. Never was astonish-
ment greater than theirs was when
they saw it on the desert of Magellan,
in one of their islands. At first they
believed it was some kind of animal
that fixed to and fed upon wood. The
inhabitants of the Philippine and Ca
nary Islands were formerly equally
ignorant. Africa presents, even in
our day, tribes in this deplorabie state.
