From a private letter received by a
citizen of Bozeman from A. +. Schmitz
he says in reference to the Occur d'Alene
mines, II have been in the mines and
think there is nothing yet to warrant the
excitement. Snow is five feet deep and
will take long time to get off. No
money in the camp, in fact everyone
thinks there is no gold either. Shall
leave in few days for Washington Ter

Writing from Bozeman, Montana, A.C.
McComb, the former principal of our
school, in his usual glittering style says
Times are jolly and very promising in the
west. This is truly the home of prosper
ity for the young. Encourage all the
young men and women of your acquain-
lance to locate in the west. Gold cannot
be picked up on every hill, nor placer
nuggets be seen shining in the bottom of
every creek, but the country is new and
rich in resources and is yielding and will
continue to yield unlimited wealth for
many years. The citizens are of gen.
erous and sociol spirit and the very air
seems an inspiration to activity. Truly,
Mr.. Editor, think this to be a most de-
lightful country to live in. We had four
months Of excellent and, with the exccp-
ton of less than half dozen DAYS, nice,
sunny, clear, and genial weather, such as
never before witnessed in the winter
time.
As usual I am in love with the city
schools.
Give to all my good friends of Centralia
a golden wish from these golden hills of
the far west. Afectionately thine,
A. C. McCoMB.
