of decomposed quartz across Sal

est dust ever found in this Clear
water basin and is worth $3.50
per ounce.
"a Citizen" writes us as follows:
l listened the other evening to
some rare and beautiful music
sung by Mrs. Wetsell. The lady's
voice has powerful compass, and
her singing is superb, both in style
and voice culture. Mrs. Wetsell is
an accomplished lady and fine
elocutionist. We hope to hear her
sing more in public, as she certain
ly deserves public attention.
Two teams arrived in town last
Friday from Boise City, having
came over the State wagon road
via Payette lakes, Warm Springs
and Florence. They were three
weeks making the trip, and it took
them two days and a-half to climb
the II mile grade from the Salmon
river bridge to Florence. The men
in charge of the teams have a
mighty poor opinion of this State
wagon road.
