Mr.. S. o. DUNBAR,-Dear Sir; am happy to
hear that your preparation of fuid Magnesia is
coming into general use. While IT is more econo-
mical than other preparations of Fluid MagnesIa,
have found ii vastly more eticient, and not only
an antiseptic and anti-acid upon the stomach, but
a very considerable tonic. II is beautiful medi-
cine for the bowel arrangement which so often af-
icts young children, and for females of debilita-
ted and sour stomach particul rly those encentc
tits invalu sble Being a scientific preparation and
open to the profession, 1t needs only acouaint-
ance to become with them favorite medicine.

At least, tho adjacent country
is large enough to sustain town Of q
respectable size at each Of these sites
Bellevue and Haley are doubtless the
liveliest towns Of their size on the
coast, and Ketchum, situated thirteen
miles above HALEY, is not far behind.
The arrival and departure Of heavy
freight teams, the storing Of goods,
the groups Of miners, the coming and
going of prospectors, the outfitting OF
prospectors and newcomers, all tend
to give their streets the appearance Ut
considerable activity. Building is ac-
lively carried on at all three Of these
towns. A large number Of structures
Of different kinds being under way.
The growth Of HALEY has been very
rapid. In the latter part Of April the
writer crossed the site Of Haley and
found bnt ono building under roof, and
but three or four in course of erection;
three weeks later over fifty buildings
were up, aud quite a number Of others
in various stages Of completion. The
scarcity Of lumber has been great
drawback to all kinds of improve
ments. That barrier, however, will
soon be removed, as three mills are
now ripping up the fir at a rapid rate,
and the machinery for ano her (the
Lewis mill). is on the ground The
mills have orders for humber two and
three days in advance of their cutting
capacity. One mill is situated about
two miles above Ketchum, and has
been running about month. The
Robinson boys erected their mill about
three miles up the river from Gimlet,
and have been saving about two
weeks. The other, a small portable
mill, started up few days ago in
Greenhorn gulch, about two miles
west of Gimlet. The Lewis mill is
going up about two and half miles
below ketchum. Among the Idahoans
variously employed about the Robin
son mill are Messrs, Geo. stuck, Geo.
Miller, Foley Abbott, Sam. Davis, Mrs.
Sue Hill and Miss Nette Moulton.
Galena was first discovered on
Wood river in the year 1878, by the
late John Callahan, OH the opposite
side of the river from Bellevue, and at
present this locality embraces large
number Of the richest veins found in
the country. The best developed
mines, however, are located in the
Bullion district, several miles north
west of the first discovery, on the
same mineral belt, and include the
Bullion, Idahoan, Maytlower, Jay
Gould, O. K. and others. The Bullion
has been sunk on to the depth of over
one hundred feet, and otherwise de-
veloped. 1t gives employment to 100
men at present, and it is said the force
will soon be increased. The other
mines have small forces at work, which
it is reported, they will soon increase
and commence the shipment Of ore on
a large scale.
The country, from a few miles north
west of Bellevue to Bullion, is one
vast field of prospects" which, if one
fourth of them prove valuable, it will
take years to exhaust. Ore was found
last year in the mountains east OF
Bellevue also, and quite number of
valuable locations made. This spring
several very rich strikes have been
uncovered. In fact, the mountains are
so full of prospectors that from every
quarter comes the echo Of new strikes.
