making improvements in Haley.
This town is not the first example
wherein the desert has been made to
bloom as the rose. There must al
ways remain necessity for a small
dinnsr-bucket camp FIVE miles below
HALEY, to supply the needs of miners
employed in the surrounding mines,
as much as there is need for thriving
city on the river to be the center of
all the surrounding camps whcrefrom
shall emanate the controlling spirit Of
the entire section, and all the capital
and brains requisite to maintain the
prosperity of the county-and that
city is Haley. Here will be the sup
ply center and distributing point for
the town which will rcdistribute to ad-
jacent camps.
The village below should not ex-
haust itself worrying over the titles to
HALEY property, as the purchasers of
town property here have been fully as
competent to determine the validity
of their titles thereto as the editor Of
the circular referred to-if not vastly
more. Jealousy, and not laudable
interest, prompts the suggestions as to
lack of good titles, and as it is very
apparent that it only assists investors
g in determining the best points of loca-
t;on-which is the one always most
envied by it's neighbors, slandered
and traduccd by men interested To-
cally, the circular might cease its at
tempts i'll this direction.

Bullion, Deer Creek, and East Forl
mines. In fact, no other town is s.
centrally located, and accessible to tn
most productive mines Of the Woo
River country as is HALEY; and tina
