A correspondent, writing from Bellevue
has the following to say in regard to the
Wood river country:
"Further up the river III the vicinity of
HALEY and Bullion, are the best mines and
the best developed, so it is said. This is no
place to come to look for work. Those who
are thinking of coming here to work for wages
had better remain where they are. A good
enterprising business man, located in the

goods, would get away with all the one. horse
stores that are here. The country is full of
prospectors, and there is but little doubt that
thisp place will be a bullion producing camp
before long.
