EDITOR TELLER:
We have had considerable rain Of late
and variety of changes Of weather at the
disposal of tAe weather clerk. The rains
have been Of great benefit to placer min
ers, as the increase of water has renewed
their work, and they are taking advan.
tase of this blessing and are earnestly at
work on all Of the bars and gulches.
Accident, Alder, Dream, Missoula and
Dry gulches are all being worked, and
the dust comes into the banks more
plen,ifully, and it has made a marked
effect on the business and trade OF the
camp.
Work in the Golden King uill and
mines is rapidly going on with good
force of men.
The miue Of the idaho company is
vigorously being worked and some good
developements Of rich prospects arc be.
ing found.
On the South Fork work has been
going on for the smeters plant that is te
be put up near Milo City. Mr.. Baidc
the manager, has gone to Thompson
Falls to have the machinery forwarded t
Rathdrum by rail, thence by steamer
up to Kingston, as the sleishing:. via.
Murray has departed and the bottom il
out of the roads, hence the change Of
route for the conveyance Of the ma
chinery.
The boats on the North Fork ar,
running and large portion of th'
heavy machinery for the mines. Their
is two large balge> built which will carr,
thirty five tons Of ir iGht. They ar
managed by small engine aud pulleys
wound by reel. They will be .valua
BILE to merchants and business men
they work satisfactory.
We have new county road frou
Delta over to the South fork, whicl
shortens the distance 10 Milo twelv
miles, and avoids all the rough hig
mountains, and enables freighters I
freight quicker and cheaper.
The bed rock fame is stdtu quo, bu
some signs are to be seen, US the paper Q
the company is asked for at fifty cen,
on the dollar, SO says rumor.
The Galena mines at Niger Prairi
and on the South fork continue to a
tract the attention Of many. Already
good quantity of ore is out and read
for shipment for the east aud west
and they undoubtedly will yiel
quite bcnanz. for the parties operatin
them.
The steamers are now making reguli
trips and the business prospects al
loo1ing promising. All our cities lou
for prosperous times, and all OF them al
trying to out grow each other, and u
, are aspirants for the metropolis.
