The editor has written an article from
Little Salmon Meadows, describing the
trails and country, and talks about
wagon and rail roads and Indian trou-
bles, which will have to lay over until

when he will return.
The yonng ladies of Baxter, Kansas.
have formed a society to furnish a
church at that place. Each one must
earn their portion of the money by some
kind of labor. and it is no uncommon
thing to see wealthy young ladies wash

other things of a similar nature.
fthe lady that took Mrs. Greene's
portmanteau at Whites station, will re-
turn the same with its contents by mail
to thus office, she can keep the money
and no questions will be asked. The
party is known and will be exposed, il it
is not returned. Mr.. Greene does not
care for the money, but wants the bal
ance of the things as keepsakes.

out much trouble. 1t is too lengthy to
publish, but we will be pleased to show
the same to any one interested.
Theodore Swartz. Johnny Crooks, Bob
Nngent. Charley and Jack Wood re-
turned Sunday evening from prospect
ing trip on The upper Salmon river.
They discovered the mine they went to
find, after an absence of 81 years. and
brought home some ore from it, beside
that of two other lodges which they
found. The ore has been shipped to
Salt Lake City, Portland and San Fran
cisco to get assays of the same. The
principle mine, the one they rediscov-
cred after such long absence, Is situ-
ated about 25 miles below the Bunker
Hill mine, which is claimed to have more
machinery than any mine in Idaho. AS
1t is on the Upper Salmon, machinery
can be brought down the river within u
short distance Of the ledge. 1t is six
feet wide aud can be traced for over six
miles. and the boys have reason to be-
lieve that they have struck it rich. The
ore carries good quantity of silver.
