Alton District Coming to the
Front-Primitive Method of
Reducing Silver Ore,
Etc, Etc.
WARRENs, I. T., July Goth. 1885

| AN"HNS, 1. IL July zUtn, 1886.
EDITOR PRESS "A few days ago we
had the pleasure of meeting L. M.
johnson, of the Alton district, thirty
miles east of this place. Mr.. j., with
some partners is developing q silver
mine there, the name of which
escapes me. He says that their vein
crops ont boldly for about 100 feet on
the surface, and is from six to ten feet
wide, OF good milling ore, with a rich
streak on one wall from eight to twelve
inches thick that assays from five to
eight hundred ounces per ton. He says
hat the extreme inaccessibility Of the
district is all that prevents it from
coming at once boldly to the front.
Prominent mining men however, are
either on the way there or are coming
soon, and there may be something
more than mere representation work
done the present season. There are
numerous parties of prospectors through
all that section. In Warrens consider
able ore has been or is being crushed.
Your corr espondent has bene6ciated
on of the Bulldog silver ore at his mill
ately. The process is peculiar. The
ore was broken small, piled up in heap
with abundance Of wood and
thoroughly burned. OF course every
'iece showed some metallic silver. 1t
"as then carefully ground in the arastra
md treated the same as gold ore would
10. The resulting amalgam made bar
pf AZ ounces worth $50, as the ore con-
aims some gold. A sample of tailings
as been forwarded to Boise City for
,ssay. Such process must necessarily
cause a smile on the visages of silver
workers, being theoretically very baS,
but the naked fact remains that the
rock will yield $50. ton with tuilings

REGULATION this spring of the discovery
{ rich placer mines on some unknown
tributary of the South fork. Many
from the south and west in search of it.
but without avail 30 far as is known,
Two men were caught in there by tho
approaching winter and managed to
survive till spring losing their horses.
One fell sick and his partner made his
way out over the crust to the Basin after
medicine and grub. having 500 in dust
in his possession. OF course he had
made it by some fortunate strike. He
left notices in various places stating the
facts and location of his sick pard. But
his pard did not die. He entrapped
various unwary squirrels. and fool hens
and got abou' again. In due time the
other one returned, and they both left
supposedly for supplies and equipments.
Undoubtedly there must be very rich
mines in that section.
P. s. 1t appears that they had 500.
apiece making Sl40O. for the little work
they did. Since writing the foregoing
am reliably informed that the two
men rocked all winter near the forks of
tue east branch of the South fork and
took out altogether twenty-seven
dollars. How are the mighty falienl

A SUNsHINY SoUL.-There are some
people who are always bubbling over
with humor, in season and out of season;
everything is turned by their Midas
touch TO sparkling merriment. What
unconscious physicians these people are!
II doeth one good like medicine to hear
their voices and 10 see their faces, always
running over with laughter like noun
tain spring. The healthiest and longest
lived persons almost always have a twig
of humor in their makeup. There is
something wonderfully preservative in
laughter. A man who cannot laugh is
like arree from which the worms or the
winds have stripped all the leaves. 1t
soon grows feeble and sapless, and dies
before its time. The healthy tree laughs
with its myriads ofleayes for generations,
sound at the heart and beautiful to look
upon; and when the woodman cuts it
down he finds the allotted number OF
rings in the firm, white wood and core
as sound and sweet rs the sapling's. So
it is with the man whose disposition is
one of sunshine and laughter. He lives
merrily and dies cheerily. and the world
is better for him. His memory does not
pass away like that of the, sour, grum
misa nthropist. There may be grande.
things about a man than his humor, but
there is nothing by which he will be re-
mem bered SO long. After his lea ming
is forgotten. has he ever laughed. that
laugh will 90 ringing on when every
other uiterance has died away. Happy
are they who are happy.

Confession of the Late Dr. bio Lewis.
 Thousands of people all over this country will hear with keen regret of the death of Dr. bio Lewis. For many years he has been the inspiration of good health to thousands and has ministered comfort to those who would very sadly have missed his cheering words. Dr. Lewis was one of the most gen. ial and inspiring of men. He did not believe very much in taking medicine, making hygiene great hobby and insisting that if person would live riPht there would be little necessity of medicine; and yet in 1883, his candor above all things else being noticeable, he said, "If found myself afflicted with 8 serious kidney disorder would use Warmers
 Safe Cure.' Adding, 'FThe truth is the med ical profession stands dazed and helpless in the presence of more than one kidney mala- dy, while the testimonials of hundreds of
 intelligent and very reputable gentlemen hardly leave room to doubt that the proprie- tors of that remedy have fallen upon one of those happy discoveries which occasionally bring help to suffering humanity. I am not so narrow that I cannot gratefully recognize the precious value of relief in the form of medicine" Dr. Lewis met with an accident which injured him so that erysipelas set in and carried him off. His testimonial, con- ing as it did from free, frank and open heart, is very important confirmation of what so many thousands have said eff the remedy he so highly commended.
