A Letter From Err Coz. UUtey.

DUrcH FLAT, Placer Co., Calf.
April 10, 1S95.--MY DEAR PAR
KER Il have been here three
weeks hunting up old friends and
making new ones. Have bonded
some mining ground hoping to
effect sale in the east or Europe.
There is more mining going on
here than in Idaho; larger and
more numerous deals and transac-
tons being taken in hand. But it
is no place for prospectOr. All
the land is covered by agricultural
and mineral patents. This partic-
ular part of Placer county is also
developed into wonderful apple
country ! never saw such apples
as l am now eating, grown right
here. The climate is identical with
Grangeyille, only frosts do not come
so early in the fall.
Idaho politics has too much OF
the cloven foot about it. Those
best authorized said when the leg
islature closed that Mcconnell
could not carry single county in
the state again. 1t suits me better
to try and sell mines and out o
the profits rnsticate among orange
groves or icebergs as the case may
be.
/ shall be here some weeks til
a deal ! now have ON hand is con
cluded, and you may, if you please
send me the f. J. at this place til
further orders l feel lost withou
it. However, / hope to get bach
to Warrens by July, returning b.
the way of Lewiston and Grange
vile. / want to look at a mine OF
Salmon river.
Very truly yours,
