we concluded to take a little recrea.
ton and ramble over the mountains
The first object OF attractive grandeur
to meet our enraptured gaze, in wild
natures solemn sublimity, was the
famous majestic Barabola Fall, with
romantic, natural scenic surroundings.
and Its roaring, rushing, gushing wa
ters dashing wildly down to the
Blaine quartz mill, which had lust
finished crushing III tons of ore from
the Illinois mine, owned by J. w.
French and Julius Linstadt.
We must not overlook the accident
which happened the other night. Jim
Brooks is night walker. He climbed
onto the roof of the cabin, and, i'm
agining himself Presidential candi-
date, addressing the great mass of
Americans on the burning question
OF the day in all its phases-free
trade, protection and tariff for revenue
only-he made wild and emphatic
gesticulations, got overbalanced and
rolled off. Drs. Knapp and Graham
were present, made an examination
eft Jim's anatomy, and found no bones
broken. Better that way, Jim, than
have the boys smoked out.
Ralph Calderwood has returned
from the capital, where he went to
attend the Republican Territorial
convention. Sorry to say that his
chaperon lost him. He wandered off
down the valley, disturbing district
schools. One of the teachers took
charge of him, and he Jared well after
that.
Quartz mining is hourishing, and
everybody well.
Miss Ida Stahl. who has been
down in the city for few days, re-
turned home Tuesday, accompanied
by Misses Annie Ryan and Emma
Jones, who will remain in the camp a
few days, the chief attraction being
Al. Graham and Colby Knapp. There
is quite a rivalry between Al. Graham,
Ralph Calderwood and Will Orchard.
Colby Knapp and Jim Brooks are
trying to compromise on the house
logs. The terms of the compromise
have not yet been satisfactorily ar
ranged, so the log question is still a
live issue.
Maurice Connor is engineer in the
mill.
The hills are looking charmingly
lovely, clothed in their fresh, vernal
garb of brightest green.
Mr.. VIM. Oliver is working in the
timber.
Messrs. Robbins, Pharriss and
Stout are the chief miners. They oc-
cupy the parlor under the ground.
Rock is now being hauled from the
Blaine mine. The mill will start up
Thursday or Friday on said rock.
Seeing our kind and accommodate
ing friend Louis Garrecht coming
along, we jumped into the meat wag-
on and took little ride over to Dick
Cunningham's mine, the Cleveland
and found things lively there.
The Washington mine is looking
fine. As Mr.. Balbach has arrived, il
is the supposition that work will be
pushed ahead at a rapid rate. We
also took trip up to the Forest King
and found the force driving theil
tunnel ahead. James Ryan took
sick there Tuesday and had to go tc
town.
Passing johnson 4 Webbs mine
we found them getting out rock neal
their residence. Mrs. Webb is get
ting quite domestic. She is busil,
occupied raising chickens, and has
very interesting time fighting tn
hawks. She shot one on the fly th'
other day.
Three men are working at tn
Lucky Boy. George Chapman, Q
that mine, is seen at the Blaine min
daily. He comes over to water hl
horse, so he says, but he never fail
to ask for a letter at the blacksmit
shop.
Our trip being ended, we arrive
, in the quiet little village OF Idaho
took supper there and started on fc
the fair Damascus of the Plains,
the capital of the Gem of the Mour
, tains."
