GOLD DI&.CINCS.

CITEMENr,
STAMPEDE GOING ON.

EDITOR STATESMAN At present there
10 , bis inning excitement on the Middle
Salmon river; every day inen with
hoeses pass here post-haste for the noun
tAins where 80 much gold has been before
taken. How large the camp Is do not
know, but tie miners q by way Of Loon
creek down 10 tie mouth Of that STREAM,
thsn down Salmon river to the Middle
Fork, then np that stream to thr dig
gingA know there are god mines there
and they were struck t~o years ago by
parties VIII, were in there with the sol
dien- Men with whip-saws and every
kind Of mining tools have been going in
for weeks. The fifst men to g. in this
year were from Silver Cry. Yours
truly, HENRY RrHL.
From personal knowledge We have no
doubt but that guld exists in the country
above described in more than paying
quantities and the chances are that tine
ground il exceedingly rich. When Col
Bernard, OF the lst cavalry, was in there
scouting two years ago many favorable
indications we're observed in many places,
and quarts ledges in which gold could be
plainly seen were discovered. 1t is in
this same general range Of mountains that
the immense quantities Of gold were dis
covered which laid the foundation of the
prosperity Of this upper country. In
Florence il wss very Common event to
rock out 100 ounces Of snlI dust per day,
and in Wsrren's, where the ground was
deeper it vas also very rich. With what
We know OF this country and Judging
from many circumstances, We do not
hesitate to state that there is better
chance for men to make raise there
than in any mining excitement which
has occurred for the past teh years. The
best way to reach there would be to 90 by
way Of Lewiston to Mount Idaho, thence
over the Nose Melnor trail to Florence,
then down to the wire bridge to Warren 5
via the Hot Springs, and when there
thsre are good trails leading everywhere.
A good rifle or shot gun, with fishing
tackle will materially assist the adven-
turer in having good time, even if he
does not strike anything.

activity, enterprise and liheraIity, was

by the hour, because he couldn't make
Rogers Immediately wrote Burleiyh a
note, telling him that if he couldn't

ope with Rogers signature cut out from
the letter and paisted upon it and "care
