forthwith. to the good of the perpetrators
those that have known Staples for years
are not backward in expressing their
opinion of him, and if it is fight he is
after he can get accomm odated at any
tlMc. One man in particular is 80 bitter
over the matter that he publicly states
ne will give Mr.. Staples gold eagle to
remove his location from Baldwin's to
MS ground that they two could thus set
tie the whole matter. When we passed
through Seafoam Mr.. Staples was not to
be seen and it is presumed he has de-
parted for more congenial cline; it so,
he will he wise not to return, and, if he
only knew it, could seek consolation in
the old proverb:
0, wad some power the giftie gle us
10 see Oursels as others see us.
Col. Matt. Womack, Of Challis, was at
Seafoam looking over the ground with q
view of taking in a saw mill in the early
spring. He expresses his confidence in
the camp, and has already secured some
interests there.
Nose Storer believes the camp will do
to tie to. He will build this fall if he
can get his logs hauled; if not he will
cache his goods, winter in Custer and re-
turn in the early spring. Like all the
rest of US. he has firm belief that Sea-
foam will make lasting camp, and is
willing to do his share to that end.
SUMMARY.
In concluding this, our last letter for
'88, we wish to thank all those who have
kindl y aided US in cleaning information;
our motive has been one of but good for
the camp. and in our humble way have
tried to publish nothing but facts regard
ing the mines. We believe that camp
should I've built up strictly upon its mer-
its to be lasting and for the good of the
country at large, and not upon paper, as
was the greater part of Ceur d'Alene
and the renowned HALEY gold belt. The
reaction is too great for a country to
stand. Seafoam, or, in other words, tho
Sheep Mountain Mining District, is a
good, healthy yearling with at least Is
paying mines and innumerable prospects,
any one of which contain more pay ore
in sight than the entire Camas gold belt,
and if two years from now does not prove
her one of the wonders of the American
continent / miss my guess-and miss it
badly, too.
With wagon road already within
eight miles of the camp, and an easy
grade established the balance of the way,
the country is easily accessible; and now
all we need is milling facilities, and
the sooner we get them the sooner the
T,o~ halt mi no oIoocoN

Northwest.

No Chickens.

Our enterprising county dad, Mr.
T. w. Gillette, entertained Mr.
Pearsons, of Bonanza, when he was
here a few days since, and took him
out for chicken hunt on Lake
creek. Provided with an abundance
of ammunition, guns. dogs, etc.,
the two gentlemen were on the alert
for the willy sage hen, and expect
antly wendell their way to the ut
most regions of the gulch. Failing
to see any chickens the gentlemen
concluded that they were too early.
and that in all probability they
would find plenty Of the desired
fowl along the road on their return
as it was about the right time OF
day. The only thing they found
in the road, however, was a very
deceptive mudhole into which Mr..
Gillette took a dive over the dash
board as Mr.. Pearsons caromed on
u wheel. Extricating themselves
from this unfortunate predicament,
it was discovered that the vehicle
was badly damaged, and the hold
back straps bursted. The gentle
men resumed their seats however,
ond by a judicious manipulation Of
the whip, managed to keep the horse
away from the blackboard as they
went gaily sailing down the gulch.
1t became necessary, however, for
Mr.. Pearsons to get out and hold
the vehicle back as they descended
some of the sleeper pitches, and in
performing this manly service,
which resembled man snow-shoe-
ing it, he wore the soles of his boots
to an extreme thinness. They didn't
see any chickens, neither has any
one else in Lake creek for a fort
night. Other parties going out
from town provided with every
equipment have suffered just the
same experience, which is made
doubly aggravating when they dis
cover some kid who has brought
down eighteen or twenty within a
half-mile of town with an old
musket.

nlNlNe SUMMARY.
BuTTERCUP.

DOX LhNO
The recent developments in the
Buttercup have attracted quite gen
orally the attention of mining men
and others interested in the mineral
resources of this country. There
is no longer any doubt about the
Buttercup being the richest galena
mine, not only on Wood River, but
in any mining country. Yesterday
sample of ore from the face of the
tunnel, on the ground of the recent
strike, was assayed and it went 1873
ounces silver per ton and II per
cent lead. This is probably the
richest galena ore ever discovered
in this country or any other
Haley News-Miner.
Divide it by six, brother Rich
ards, and if it is continuous you will
have a mine worth half million.
The Weiser Leader says that all
of the experts who have visited the
Seven Devils district agree in the
assertion that it is the largest and
richest copper camp in the world.
A rumor is current that a rich
strike of high grade ore has been
made in the Kentuck mine at Shoup,
specimens being taken out richer
than any heretofore seen. Free gold
in solid nuggets as large as peas
were found in this body. Placer
mining in the various gulches has
been more prosperous than antici-
pated in the spring. What was
lacking from the light fall of snow
last winter has been made up by
the frequent showers during the
summer. Most of the placer mines
are cleaning up for the season.
Salmon City Recorder.
The Red Warrior gulch difficulty
has been settled. J. NJ. Patterson
has been reinstatcd as superintend-
ent and H. N. Thomas appointed
foreman. The building of the mill
is progressing.-Mountain Home
Bulletin.
Popham Bros. have recently dis
covered a ledge in the Boyle noun
tain region which carries about two
inches of very good looking lead
ore-carbonates and sulphate. Mr..
Popham says they have sunk ten
feet on the vein and taken out three
or four sacks of good ore; ore that
will assay from 100 to $50 ounces
silver and so per cent lead. The
prospect seems to improve with
depth and may turn out to be an
other good property on that noun
tain. The discoveries are very con-
sentative in their estimate of the
ledge, and justly so, for, as Mr..
Popham says, "it never pays to lie
about a prospect"
The Relief force Of IA men was
laid off this morning. Unable to
see II. Z. Miller on the subject, a
learned from good source
that the shutdown is to allow Of
an estimate of the ore taken from
the Relief ground by the Minnie
Moore. 1t is said compromise in
a certain prominent mining mans
estimate is likely to occur as a re-
suit of damages, and to allow of an
accurate surveyit was thought best
to close the Relief until his arrival.
This explanation indicates that the
work will soon be resumed.-Belle-
vue Herald.

SUNDAI. huSuos A~'
Since the above was written we have
concluded to quit Seafoam for the season,
so to day finds us in camp at Red Fish
Lakes, on our way out. We find here
Bill Mcqueen and two other gentlemen
from Custer, and host of HALEY kids
who are having more sport than anybody.
The boys have freed two bears, chased
several elk and all the deer out of the
country, and caught three little trout the
past week, butt day they are at Salmon
river after the first run Of salmon. and
Judging from the report of their guns,
which we can plainly hear, are having
scads of fun. and are playing even on
their whole trip. What wonderful yarns
those kids will spin to their companions
at home! We were somewhat d;sap
pointed in not finding any ketchum PEG
pie here, but presume it is too early. We
can see an occasional red Ash swimming
about, but they have not commenced "to
run" as yet. Salmon fish are running.
however, and the main stream is full OF
them. 1t is great sport killing them with
rife, and it is surprising how fish OF
such magnitude can navigate q stream so
small. Members Of our party shared one
yesterday five feet long, and weighed
some IS pounds, and it was no extraor-
binary day for fish either.
