PROBABLY no mining district in the
West is being more extensively and
gfaluitously advertised than the Sev.
en- Devils country. Huntington.
Baker City, Boise City, Weiser and
Payette are all striving to discover
ways and means of securing a road to
the mines there and each of these
towns realizes that tie one which se-
cures the first aud best inlet to these
remarkable deposits of mineral will
become the depot and entrepot for a
trade which will be very extensive
and permanent. 1t is to the interest
OF Idaho that this future trade should
be retained within her boundaries.
Some time in the near future great
smelling plants will he constructed
to work the Seven Devils ores.
Where these plants are erected will
grow up second or larger Anacon-
da than the famous Montana town by
that name. Experience has shown
that the most successful smelters are
those built where variety of differ
ent ores can be obtained from differ
ent districts. For this reason we
would suggest that the point for the
smelling town is somewhere on the
Short Line road, where the road from
Owyhee county will reach that line.
A road from South Mountain passing
DeLamar, crossing the Short Line at
Nampa, Caldwell, Payette or Weiser,
and extended OH to the Seven Devils,
is the line which should be built
Owyhee miners need timber and fuel
and must some day have railroad tc
the Payette, and now, while an inlet
to the Seven Devils is being discussed
is the time to unite the two enterpris
es. The South Mountain galens
ores, the refractory ores of Flint dis
trict, some Of the DeLamar and Sill
yer City ores would attain their bes
results with the copper and gold ore
of the Seven Devils. To bring an(
work all these minerals at some cen
tral point, means building a city a
that point. All the towns nance
herein should bear this in mind
Some move has already been mad
by Capt. DeLamar and the citizen
Of Caldwell or Nampa toward tn
construction of road to reach De
Lamar. We hope they will exten
their scheme to take in the Seve
Devils country, and carry it to sue
cessful issue. The time is ripe fc
the consummation, and if it shoul
be long delayed one of the Orego
towns will get the start of them o
their short line to the great coppe
district and materially cripple an
delay this very important enterprise

THE people of this place, on learn
ing that Ben Solomo and Jas. Cole
man, who are developing mine near
the Golconda, had not been seen
since Jan. 8th, thought it probable
that some accident had befallen the m.
VIM. Hall and Fred Garrecht went
up yesterday, and will return some
time to day. Ben and Jim have a
mail box on the Banner road, on the
More Creek summit, and have not
been there for their mail since Jan.
8th. The distance from their cabin
to the box is only mile and quar-
ter, and from the mine it is less than
mile. The box-a large sized can
die box-is now full of mail. Ben
has been living on and near the Ban
ner road for a number of years, and
has always been very regular in 60
ing for his mail. He is a man who
reads a great deal, and Coleman is
also man who likes to keep posted
on current events, and for this reason
it looks as if something has happened
to them. Ben, until this winter, has
been alone, and it may be that now
having company, he has not been SC
anxious for his mail as he would have
been if he had been alone, and being
busily at work, and the snow pretty
deep, did not care to go down for it
1t is short distance, but the noun
tain is very steep from the mine tc
the More Creek gap. The people
here, however, concluded it would b'
best to send out couple of men

For the first time for many years this
town continues the summers preaching
services during the winter. Students
from the Bangor Theological Seminary
contemplate supplying the pulpit of the
Congregational church here, continuously,
until the return of rosy June brings with
its sunshine and gladness summer pas
tor.
Mr.. John Grover has opened a new gro
cery store. This enterprising tradesman
seems destined to reach the summit of
prosperity. Another new store is being
Quilt here, which in due time will be
stocked with merchandise. On the whole
this town is well supplied with emporiums
where the necessities of life may be pur-
chased. No less than five to a population
of some five hundred men, women and
children, is very oblixing. Unless the
owners are very economical some one
must go TO the wall"
The continuation of almost summer
weather prevents the men here from en-
gaging in the numbering business This
community to a great extent depends up
on this industry The hardy sons of Maine
welcome accordingly, that kind of weather
that the weaker sapling> of humanity APP
prehend with adherence.

we hope will be an unprecedented success.
