j. +. McLinn and ID. ID. Zook called
Oh the Record yesterday and gave some
interesting facts about Il portion of
country lying between Vermillion and
swamp creek on the Swamp creek side
aud north of Clafk's Fork some 35 to 40
miles northwesierly from Murray. The
nearest route to the foot of the noun
tain which our narrative will be-
limited to is by the Trout creek trail,
a distance of not less than 30 miles
across Bald mountain. and In line dHe
nearly northwest. by the way OF
Thompson Falls. which at present is the
easiest route, The distance is about 90
mile. The mountain rises in abrupt al
most perpendicular, craggy walls or
benchos,7 rs TO 100 feet or more in height.
with marshy plateaus considerably
broken and overrun 10y slides. These
benches rise without marked variation
for u distance Of Il miles TO the sum

above the sea. The water, which comes
plentifully from springs il The rocks, is
soft and warns and so highly impregnat at
ed with mineral that it is slippery, es-
p~ec!ally near the foot of the mountain,
which is extremely difficult of ascent
owing TO the almost perpendicular
places. The marshy flats extend to the
very top, where there is a big swamp.
These flats are covered with grass and
several bushes resembling chapparal,
and are infested with black gnats and
mosquitoes. which keep up a constant
torture. Large trees standing well
apart are distributed all over. The OBJ
ject Of Messrs. McLinn and Zook being

course endure almost any hardship TO
get ahead of less ambitious adventures
But to their astonished they found not
only mineral IN the rocks but pieces of
pure metal and ruins of a crude smell
