Bound to Come.

Some time ago the TIMES received
letter from J. NJ. Moriarty, the well
known photographer OF Austin, Ne
vada, stating that he desired to come
here, and inquiring after the pros
poets. The reply was that there was
one gallery here already, that Profess
sor Butler was about to open sec
ond, and that Silvis would probably
be along soon with his car. That
there would therefore be three photo
graph galleries here soon.
This did not dissuade Mr.. Moriartv,
however, and in a letter write n the
18th instant he says: 81 find nothing
in your letter which will discourage
me in the least. Competition is the
life of trade, you know; and, as you
say, the best photographer is bound to
get the most work. | shall try it, and
will be there about the first Of April.

About II O'Clock yesterday morn
ing a bullet crashed through the win

Reliable News from that Locality-N0
Estimate VI Its Future Can be Formed
Yet.
a Wood River mine owner whose
name is known in all the mining and
financial centres of the United States,
as we'll as in London, England, writes
to Judge V. S. Anderson, Of this city,
from Eagle City, March l6, as follows:
"You ask about this camp. From
all l can learn l am satisfied good big
pay has been taken from some of the
claims up Pritchard creek, and | have
seen some very celooking quartz
but the gulch may prove spotted and
Of no good at all. The chances are
fair here for good camp, but certain
ly there is nothing as yet to justify
any such an excitement and rush as
has been caused The town here is
growing like magic, building as fast
as houses can be put up; and town
lots are held at fabulous prices. Have
seen 81, 900 offered and refused for a
30-foot front lot, with an ordinary
rough log cabin OH it, that may not
be worth $40 in the fall. Prices are
absurd. No USE of people coming in
here now. The town lot speculation
is certainly overdone, and no mining
can be done before the LIST of June tc
amount to anything. It will be July
or August before any correct estimate
can be made of the real value and flu.
ture of the camp.
These are about my views. The
snow is melting very little yet, anc
lies four feet deep--of packed, settled
snow; SO you can form your own ides
of what can be done in the mining
an6 prospecting line. No way Of
getting i'll or out yet, but by the
trails. l pulled my toboggan load il
with the rest Of the boys, and was
over two days on the trail"
