ED. TELLER-Warm weather and
stray showers has settled the snow fast
and the creeks and streams are high.
Pack trains are coming in. A. Benson
and the Cigarette pack trains were in
town last week, the first trip into camp.
The boys did the town and left good
opinion Of Lewiston tricks. The telegraph
is on the way in and the line will be put
in running order shortly. The trails and
roads are booming III around. The Belk-
nap and Thompson's Falls roads are keep
ing up a lively race to get into camp, Us
th y are rivo's on the highway Of fame
and tolls. The placer mines are panning
out good where sul hes are drainedsso M
to work them during high water in the
melting seasons. Dream gulch still holds
out in the ounces-95, 62, 70 and 81 to
the clean up Of two days aud six to IL
men on SHIFT; Missoula also is one Of the
kind that cleans up the ounces to the
man; NJ Cormick is showing good quail
ties to stay with and the bars and rims
are taking it out fast and claims are be.
ing put in shape to swell the volume Of
dust already taken out and in circulation
here and being shipped out from here.
We have U. s. postoflice and Parker
for p. NJ, boxes arc put up aud all the
airs of daily mail is to be seen around.
Arrivals are plenty, and stampcdcs is the
order, one over on the CGur d'Alene,
Pritchard is at the head Of it, and many
have gone to see th ANIMAL one up
Eagle creek and another up the North
Fork-placer and quartz. There is a
heavy amount of prospecting being just
now for quartz and some Of the boys have
it good, from the specimens seen. The
Kate Barnett is new rival for honors
in lodcs, also the Montana, both mort beast
Of the Mother Lode which still continues
to show her fine prospects in golden col
ors and is the one attraction Of the camp
as very nearly all new com.rs visit her.
The croakcrs must i've up that the camp
is solid for pay ia gravel aud rock and
many predict that it is large gold field
in place Of camp, FOR it is extending
out all around and some good paying
prospects are found over Oh Beaver and
some east Of the Bitter Root noun
tains, as there was stampede there late
ly and now the snow is going of and
getting beautifully less, provisions and
supplies will be cheaper and more plenty
and freights far cheaper and tools and
supplies will he more .guit and pros
pecting will not be such costly affair as
it has been all last fall and winter, and
tests and developments will be more
thorough and solid There arc three
papers here Eagle, Nugget and Pioneer.
The FIRST copy of the Eagle run off was
auctionod off for $50, so the literary wants
Of the miners will be allotted to right
smartly. Eagle is lively and going on,
Murrayville also is on the boom, Battle
City is putting on airs and getting into
position on the line. Everybody seems
to be busy and the Recorders Office is
kept warm. Parker is deputy county
recorder, postmaster and editor, SO he is
quite busy around the place. Mr.. Linn
is in the recorders Office. Spring flowers
are blooming by the way side.
Yours, NEz PIERCE.
