have but little snow on the mountains or
wales, and the under jaw Of We placer
miner hangs low down, and he also casts
his eye shywari very often to see if the
beautiful snow will come down to give
HIM head of water, early in the des of
March. The prospect of water for
placer mining is very low, indeed, at
present. There is still a rushing for the
new camp at Pen d'Oreil!e lake, and
Wardner, Wallace and South Fork towns
lose many citizens daily for the new
camp. But little prospecting can be
done in thele for some time, as the
snow is deep and the vision of mothc,
earth limited, and prospectors must, Of
necessity, have bare ground. Provisions
are plenty and at reasonable prices, as it
Is near the n. p, railroad and freigh,
does not cost az much. There is only
eight miles of packing from the LIME
Kiln landing to the first location mad,
in that new, but lively camp. Already
as bond for sale has been given of 500,
600 and $4,000 paid down, the par!ie.
are Fred Webber and Cy Donnelly, OF
Eagle. Webber is one of our count,
commissioners elect. There is great
push to have our county commissioners
open trail up the north fork to the new
camp, aud it is believed it will not b.,
over forty miles from Murray and tn,
same to the Mission. Already active
steps are taken for the same. Now OF
roads we will give an item the Wash
ington 4 Idaho railroad has had great
difficulty in getting right Of way across
the Occur dAlcne Indian reservati,n u
and we hear it is settled and they ar,
now at work sn it, and We suggest the,
come up the north fork to Beaver, on Il,
easy and natural grade; thence VI,
Beaver creek to its head, and they viii
have the Sunset Group right at IT,
dump, and also have good fu4rcia
hold on the purse strings Of their warm
friends, the N. p, and then by comm;
up the north fork they can, by an easy
route up little north fork, so right into
the new Eldorado, whose trade and
carrying out put, from present prospects
will be no mean item, for there is a very
large area of territory, from the little
north fork to the lake, Of rich aud
promising character; in fact it is rich
mineral country, and the railroad com
papy, who first taps it wi h band Of
steel, will find good pay in the road bed
The district court adjourned on the Stl
inst, and his honor, Judge Logan, ant
his lady left for Boise. The contested
election case, for the auditor, went ovel
till next term, aud we do not know VIII,
is or ought to be Just now. Their,
seems to be u just move to divide tn,
county of Shoshone and let our friends O
the tar eastern portion take unto them
selves home; We are lad to see i
thus, for they can never be part O
Shoshone county only in name; they ar
isolated aud cut off from US, and do no
get any benefit only to collect and sent
their taxes over here, and yet deprive'
OF all benefits, if any there be. We ar
glad to see them willing to bear and tax
to themselves county Of their own, an,
We hope those hardy pioneers, who hav
stood by Shoshone county, in its palmy
and sad and dreary days, when it trie'
the brave souls of those hardy rus,Iers
who, for nearly decade, have stood b.
the old land mark, and held the count
intact and paid off her limited debt an,
kept her credit financially good, for |
these many years. Yes, gentlemen o
the Legislature, give them county, on
only their share Of the public debt, a
justly belongs to them, no more. The
are deserving Of all good, so do not with
hold from them the rights dear to tree
man and pioneer. If they are willing t
bear county organization, let them as
sume it; they will maintain its homo
aud dignity they will perssvere an
build up and make it, in time, a rich an
prosperous community and organization
DO not daily but give them tho righ,

own choice. The solous and bouors al

the state will get fixed up and We apple
