WOOD RIVER LETTER.
GALENA, March /. 1873:

GALESA. March I, 1888
En-. WoRID.--At present the outlook
fnr t entire Wood River country il
brighter t.an at any time previous.
aud especially for this camp me thinks
/ see Curious future, and too, ut no
far distant day, although at present
times are quiet and bur little or no,h-
ing doing, as it is yet in its infancy.
There is no one that il 40 prepared ~
to work tl,rnilgh the entire winter,
bnt it may be hoped that the coming
season will so develop anr properties
as to make them practicable thu. year
round Up to date there are IN the rec
ord of this district over four hundred
locations. Out of that numher there
are about fifty that are bein { worked
more or less. There are eight differ
ent Companies already located in this
district, cnmpri~ing the Alps. High
land Chief, Conway. Castle, Senate.
Sims Sanford, Altnras, Western Homo,
and the Qnenhy Hill Mining CO., all
wealthy aud well hee'ed. 1t is the
snpposition that these companies will
commence operations as soon as the
coming spring will permit. The SEN
ate Companies smelter is fully pre-
pared to do good work and lots of it,
the capacity being thirty tens per LAY.
The ores Of this district are principal
ily Galnna and carbanates, and Of a
very high grade. Assays have been
made, showing our ores to be worth
from so ounces to 1910 ounces per ton.
The country is supplied with an album
dance of fine timber, and the finest OF
mountain streams, fie grazing for
stock, and any amount of game, such
AS deer, elk mountain sheep and goats
bear, some few antelope, and plenty ol
grouse. The streams contain any
amount of fine mountain trout and ii
the summer time the Sawtooth Lakes
are filled with the delicious red fish
So the prospector in this section car
have any kind of meat the heart coulC
wish for. 1t is estimated that not less
than 10000 people will take up theil
abodes III the rustics Of the Saw,ootl
and Wood River mountains during tht
balmy months of this year The snow
fall here this winter has been unusual
ly light, the deepest not exceeding five
feet and at the present time does no
exceed two feet and half. The pas
: two weeks have been warm and pleas
ant, with every Indication OF an earl,
spring. We have had some extreme
y cold weather, the thermometer de
: noting as cold as siyty-four degree
below zero. Now, as spring seems t.
: have returned, everybody is prepar
ing to open up his business in far bet
ter shape than ever before, feeling tina
i the coming season will be one Of muc
/ life, and an ocean ofprosperity.

A Hard case.

The Express says: 1.-THE other day Mr.. A
ID. Sawyer, the agent Of the society with the
endless name found the horse O. Isaac Rich
ardson in an old shed in BOWS Court, without
anything to eat and with no protection from
the weather but broken and leaky roof. He
took the animal to stable and had him cared
for, and then hunted up Richardson who was
on protracted spree. Richardson was taken
before the court and fined $40. He still kept
mp his spree and Mr.. Sawyer went up to the
place in Dow's Court to see if anything else
was suffering from lack of care. The place
where Richardson, who is single man, lives
with bis horse, dogs and hens, beggars de-
scription. The Express called there yesterday
and must confess that it has never seen auy
place where human being lived SO filthy. In
two rooms in an old shanty lives this man
Richardson with several dogs and about sixty
hens. The floors, the windows and what few
pieces of furniture there are in the rooms, show
that the dogs and hens have it their own way
In the house. Richardson is a hen pedler, and
when sober makes, three or four dollars day.
But he spends his money for drink and neg
lects his horse and hens while on a spree. The
horse he embarrassed the other night and let
loose. The animal strayed into the grounds of
Mr.. Malcom Hammond and was taken BY the
police to an old shed and tied. Mr. Sawyer
then took him to stable and if Richardson
don't claish him he will be sold at auction.
His actual cash value is about $40.
