THE 0. $. l..
II is Probably Completed to Naples by
this Time.

Two physicians who arrived from
Colorado yesterday came in over the
Oregon Short Line to Naples, thence
by kelton stage.
They state that passenger and
freight trains run regularly to Ameri-
can Falls, but beyond that point only
construction trains are running.
Jumping on a construction train at
American Falls, our physicians were
"a hours in covering the so miles be-
tween that point and the end Of the
track. Arrived there they were COM
PEELED to walk over four miles to get
to Naples. Their trip across the lava
beds was an exceedingly cold one.
They say the end of the track is prob
ably at Naples by this time.

NAPLES.
Hundreds OF New Arrivals Per Week
The LivelieSt Town in Idaho.

Chris. Hannicker arrived last nirht
from the Junction of the OREGON
Short Line, otherwise Naples, and re-
ports that hundreds-actuallv hun
drcds-of men are arriving there ev-
cry week, some to engage in business,
Others to work on the railroad, while
not few are chronic buns, who drop
in town utterly strapped and seeking
country where they may live without
working.
Some forty teams and wagons have
also arrived at Naples and started out
for the end Of the railroad grade to-
ward Boise City. Fully 500 addi-
tional men and IS more teams will ar
rive there i'll the next two months.
and 90 forward with the o. S. l.. to
Boise valley as rapidly as materials
can be delivered to them.
a train-load of provisions arrived at
Naples last week, and more is en-
route. A large force of men is now
working on the Wood River Branch,
completing the grade half mile
above Patterns station, and the track
layers will soon be on the road for
Haley. The construction train is
now within three miles of Naples
The recent cold snap compelled sus-
pension Of work on the line, but to-
day it is going ahead at lively rate
Naples is at present the most active,
boisterous young camp in Idaho. Sci
dom day passes without several
fights. Men are seen at all hours
with raw beef and court plaster on
their faces. Every variety of gam
bling is in full blast. The stores and
tents are crowded with business, and
the ~ saloons and bars with Gus
toners. During the next two months
the town will increase in population
and experience lively times.

lowing letter, which was received yes
tcrlav from Il former resident Of
Wood River. may be implicitly relied
on:
SoccoEo, \. NJ, Jan. "a, 1883.
FRIEND CHAsE:-I have been to
nearly every mining camp in New
Ne xico, have taken careful obscrva-
tons, and can assure you that Idaho
is as far ahead of this country, both in
finances and business generally, as
night is Of day.
There is no property changing hands
here at all, and dcader or more God
forsaken lot of mining camps do not
exist. The trouble is the id rough,
tough population, want Of water and
the instability Of the mines. The lat
ter are exclusively pockets.
am writing this 80 miles from So
zorro, westerly, on the Magdalena
Mountains. Here they have deposits
of lead ore that do not carry an aver
age of four ounces OF silver to the
ton.
! have not seen anything outside OF
the Horn Silver, and some mines in
Utah, that have the scmblance of
mines. They have no snow here to
speak of, bat it is quite cold.
| GOT a smeltcr ready to run here
and the Il ID thing got about forty at
tachments stuck fast to it the dav she
was ready to blow in.
Yours, etc,

Ter arrived in HALEY yesterday from

day at the village of Bellevue, where
they were advised to tie up as Haley

railway terminus, and all the narrow
gauge lines, and all the public offices,
and nearly all Of Wood River val
lev for suburban residences for the
leading merchants on Main street.
The Bellevue residents tried the usu-
al plan to keep these gentlemen from
coming to the city of HALEY, and
were again, for the four-t housandth

Miller are eminent in their profession,
