One of the most interesting person
ages in the camp is Mrs. A, NJ. Edging-
ton, who came here early last spring as
the veritable widow for whom Prichard
located the valuable claim at the east
end of the town of Murray. She is a
woman apparently As years of age and
of herculean proportions, but of a quiet
and dignifed mien. In conversation
she is peculiarly apt and courteous, and
evinces knowledge of western parlance
that shows she is no stranger to mining
life. She came here from Missouri, and
had resided with her husband at Yir-
ginia clty, New. for seventeen years.
At that place she was reputed to have
been quite wealthy. The decline of
mining securities and the death of her
husband left her with limited means
and since then she has been engaged in
various pursuits in the mining camps of
Montana and Idaho She claims to have
advanced money to Mr.. Prichard ON
sundry occasions, in the hope of retriev-
ing her fortune and by this means luring
her to preserve in the task of finding a
mine.
Last Friday Mrs. Edgington, in COM
pany with several lady friends, paid a
ffriendly visit 20 the widow boys OF
orphans as they are pleased to be
4 called. 1t was her first visit 70 Murray,
+ and the party were agreeably astonish-
ed at the little city which fills the valley
t.at this point.

DIFFERENT VIEWS.

An Eastern Washington exchange. the
Dayton Joarnai, while in favor Of the
forfeiture of all the land grant to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company
not earned. inclines TO the opinion that
all sections Of that railroad inspected
and accepted by the Executive Depart
ment prior to declaration of forfeiture
by Congress. carry with them the grant
OF lands under the Law of is64, notwi,h-
standing that such sections were not
constructed until after the time fixed
for completion Of the whole road had
expired. This view may be correct. 1t
is held by some. for whose opinions we
have much respect. Yet IL il he admit
