A Journey Under Difficulties. Correspondence of the Democrat.

-@-~ Correspondence of the Democrat.
 Early Sunday morning, June l4th, quite party Of RusselIvilIites, forty | five in number, boarded the s'trunk- | line. passenger for Dardanelle to en- | jev one Of Rev. Robinson's very in- teresting discourses. There were some members Of the party who had never heard him and hence it would be quite treat to be granted that pleasure.
 After travelling at a desperate, break neck speed for some time we arrived at point called Shinnville, river side station, where we were to change our conveyance from land to water. It IS now 9:20 o'clock and we all have bright anticipatlons delightful day; feeling that we soon be there, but woe be unf
 extremely bright hopes, for cient unto the day is the eN
 off," Imagine our perplex..
 chagrin, after two hours waiting u find that we were compelled to cross l in an old leaky flat boat, which for the oars men was laborious task l If we had had sail, by the assist ance of good BowlIne, we might have succeeded in crossing more easily, but as it was, we finally land ed at sand bar on the opposite side of the river within twenty feet ol shore. Time passed on, as one by one the 'sLittlc Martha (who by the way proved herself more faithful 1T time of need, than did her prcdeces sor,) carried us across from the boat to the shore.
 l Well, to make long story short we found ourselves at the arbor IT in time to form perception of the discourse, in which much interest seemed to be manifested on the par of the congregation at large.
 A great many who had dinner witt them partook of their repast under the arbor, others allowed themselves to fall prey to the generosity O their friends, while we, a party Q seven, are due MT. and Mrs. Adams many thanks for their kind hospital ity during our stay.
 It is needless to say we had pleasant time considering the cir cumstances.
 At o'clock we attended afternoon service, which was the most scath ing to the toperd drinking church members and saloon keepers, bu thrilling to the christains. We wer compelled to tear ourselves away be fore the close, and was soon to b found homeward bound at greaset lightning speed.
 To those gallant young gentlemel
 who were so kind and attentive. ant .. to that estimable young lady, Mis Maggie Adams, we would tender ou especial thanks, and assure then
 that this Sunday will always be re
 membered as one of the most de
 llghtful ever spent, and will alway
 be a green spot in the oasis of a
 otherwise barren life. EsHAM.

William Jay offered to make final
proof en- lands, on Camas Prairie, last
week, At the United States Land OF.
Zee, in this city, and one johnson put
in an adverse claim. The contest
showed that Jay had claimed the
lands for two and one.haIf years, last
past, and had improved the same by
building house, corral, ETC., and had
resided there from time to time, but
had been absent on several occasions
for two or three months at . time.
johnson holds the land by virtue of .
right OF purchase from Deputy Sher-
ii. A judgment having been OBJ
tanned against Jay his interests in the
improvements were sold, and upon
his return he found Johnson in pos.
session.
The Land Office holds that the resi-
ldence of Jay was not sufficiently
shown to enable him to enter under
his application. Jay. however, claims
the land ~ his homestead, aud that it
is exempt from seizure aud sale. The
Land Office requires him to show. +.

VIENNA, Dec. Is, 1885.
To THE ED1roR OF TINE TiMEs
For the past few months our camp
has been decidedly quiet. With the
mill idle, tho Mountain King mine
closed down, the Solscs, EmmA and
Lion mines working but from two to
four men, and no prospect Of an in.
crease Of the force at the Vienna mine.
the outlook was far from encouraging,
and the old timers viewed the ap.
proach Of winter with clouded faces
But there is ligh, ahead; change
has come o'er the spirit Of our dreams,
and the silver lining to the clouds
commences ~ appear. Tbs music Of
the stamps il again heard in the camp,
ore-teams are again being brought
into use, men are being put to work,
and the camp will rapidly assume its
old.tims appearance Of prosperity. and
the citizens OF Vienna can to-day
2sth-partake OF their turkey with a
better relish and in . happier frame Of
mind. Tho principal cause of the
change for tho better in the prospects
of the camp is tho starting up OF the
Lion mine, owned by T. e. Clohecy /
Co.. Tho ore is to be crushed at the
Vienna mill, which, with the ore from
the Vienna mine. assures = steady run
through tho winter, and steady out.
put Of the white metal that makes
Secretary Manning tired. Robert
Wheeling Is in charge of the Lion, and
it i: reported to be IN an excellent
condition, having an abundance of ore
in sight, and judging by that now be.
ing hauled to the mill, Of high grade
for this district. There are undoubted.
~ good mines in this camp, only
waiting to be developed by two OF
three more companies showing the
energy and perseverance, Of the Lion
and Vienna. Then the camp would
rapidly push to the front Is the ban
ner camp of the upper country.
The general belief is that 1886 will
close with record of bullion output
, surprising any previous year since the
discovery of the district. Even The
. ancient village of Sawtooth antici
pates a rush in the spring.
A light fall Of snow, and beautiful
| weather thus far, gives promise of =,
early opening Of the coming summe

A number of the boys who left her
