and number of families have ar
rived, which, in addition to those al
ready there, makes quite permanent
community. Arthur McGowan has
store, postoffice and hotel at Valley

name Of the postofice and new town
is Stanley.
i Many tourists, hunters and pros
pectors have been along the line Of
the road this season and considerable
ground has been Iocated-principally
gold quartz and placers. Harry
Friend and Catlin (the latter inter-
ested in placers at Deadwood) are
piping on Rough creek. on south side
. # the Salmon, below mouth of Basin
creek. 1t is a new gold field. Ground
has been located at different points
along the Salmon below Stanley.
The mines at Stanley and vicinit,
| have produced more gold dust the
present season than heretofore, ow
. ng to the opening Of new ground.
t The old camp is quite extensive in
t plscers, and will not be exhausted 70,
| years to come. Wood River gets a
/ large percentage of the Stanley ana
Upper Salmon trade, as there is y
: fair wagon road from Ketchum to the
D different camps as far north as Sea-
0 foam and Bear valley.
Very rich gold samples of quartz
> have come in from the D-adwood
Z Basin this and last season, and if the
road had been built this year there
r would have been several new camps
: fopened at once. A large number OF
: prospectors have gone into the Mid
i die and South Fork countries, shor,
q distance north of the State road sur
g vey. Without doubt there is much
. rich country tributary tn the road
e which will he opened to location and
j. settlement in the near future.

re Gently worked in the Morrison
h. Pearsons mill. Several men are
,a work on the Fourth of July mine
of Mt. Custer, but the mill will not

10 tons.
