Ed. WoRLD:-ln my cool aud hur-
ried letter from Galena / forgot to
mention an important enterprise in

road now being built from this camp
to Galena. This road is owned by a
Rocky Bar company. The Hon. '. 5.
Anderson is at the head, and Hon.
NJ. j. B;ddy and J. B. Foster are the
contractors They have quite a force
of men at work. Mr.. Foster informed
me last evening that it would be COM
pleted in four or five weeks. This
road will be of great benefit to the
mining interests of the country, as at
present this point is as far as wagons
can go. The distance from this camp
to Galena is about thirty miles through
rough and rugged conntry-mineral
on all sides. with sufficient timber for
all practicable purposes.
: Parties are now here biddiRg for ore,
and should the mines prove a success
this will be one of the most prosper
Gus and exciting countries on the
coast. Among the heavy business
men here at present we notice Messrs.

| of Boise City. These gentlemen have
stores in Bellvue, Leadville Cor Ketch-
