Sprague, Amos Lee and several
other mining kings interested in
Neal district are making prepar-
atoms for working their claims this
spring, and in anticipation of big
results these gentlemen have al
ready engaged the best accommoda.
tions to be had in Chicago, which
they will occupy during the hold
ing of the Worlds Fair in that City
To judge from a meeting Of the citi-
zens Of Mountain Home, held ia
form a board of trade while Mr..
McCarty was there, he thinks that

asks its publication in these col
umns on account of the BULLETIN
large circulation in that section.
II doubtless would be interesting
reading to some people down there

it is necessary that we should know
who the writer is before we can pub
lish any communication. A pub
Usher has trouble enough without
assuming the responsibility of every
anonymous communication that
might be sent to him.
Lee Abbott came over from At
lanta last Saturday and has gone

The town of Sehome, Washing
ington, gets fresh water from bar
rels sunk at convenient places, and
last week some wretch doscd them
with croton oil. The result was
that Sehome presented a lively ap.
pearance that day.
1t is something of mystery tc

everything the home paper contains
