MINING ACTIVITY IN DIXIE.

Dixie, Idaho, Feb Ia, 1895
EDITOR +. P.--Doubtless your read
ers will be surprised at communica-
ton from this snowed-in camp, but ii
we are showed i'll we have not been idle.
A great deal of prospecting aud develop
inent work has been going on here this
winter, Notwithstanding that we have
from three to five feet of sn NV TO buck
against. The prospect for busy times IL
the spring is very good. Among the
notable properties in the camp are the
Blaine, Cummings & Piitchard bedrock
fume and placer Co. They have every
thing ready for an early run, and With
their push, energy and ability, and good
ground, we predict good results. They
are the right men in the right place.
The Couist ok M. & NJ. Co. have a
new mill in operation and if they do not
make a success it will not b. because the
gold is not in the ore, or that they have
not got the proper facilities and machi-
merry for working the ore.
Slab Johnston, with force of men,
has been sinking two shafts, each 90
feet l am told that both are looking
we'll.
PHI McEntee from Elk has had a
force of men working on several claims.
Your correspondent visited one of these
the Valentine; it makes a remarkably
fine showing and predict that it will
be one of the best mines in the district.
Among the other good properties are
Johness & Greene's several claims, all
looking WELL
Other parties holding claims worthy
of note are T Prichard, - Haslett, Reset
g. Frink, Radclihf, Sillgee Manning and
Yankee Sam. Sam is no relation &c
Uncle Sam, but there is such a strong
facial resemblance that one might be
deceived.
There are other claims, too numerou:
to mention, in which ore is plentiful
and in most cases they are good looking
prospects, and with development thlnl
Dixie will be able 10 make shown,
that will attract attention from the out
side world.
We have very good wagon roac
completed last fall from Elk, and it ha
been kept open SO far this winter 70
sleighs, but the business of the camp i
not sufficient to keep them well broken
The business part of Dixie consists @
hotel, store aid two Juice mills.
Tom Bollman, of the hotel, looks atte
the interests of the travelling public
The health of the camp has been goo
this winter. Only one case of fever; w
NJ Manning was very low for severe
weeks, but is all right now, thanks t
the treatment of DIR. Cullen, who wa
called from Elk to attend him. TIL
patient is now able to eat and to sto
away more grub Under his saddl
eirth than any other man in camp.
Hoping il the near By and by to b
able to give you glowing and fayorabl
reports of prosperous camp
Yours truly,

Tm SPANISH SYSTEM
Perhaps This Il Open and Honorable
Warfare

ATLANTA, Ca, May 10.-A special to
the Constitution from Mobile says:
A second dastardly attempt to poison the
infantry regiments at Camp Mobile has
been made. Six days ago some soldiers
found in the creek which runs alongside the
grounds, a sack filled with absorbent cot
ton which had been saturated with arsenic
and tied down beneath rock which juts
put into the stream at point just above
where the soldiers get their drinking water.
BY accident trooper detected the trap and
removed the sack, and upon the contents
being revealed, reported the find to the
commanding officer. Strict orders were
given not to mention the incident, so the
matter was hushed up. Since that day,
however, the creek has been watched.
and vigilance was rewarded when Corporal
john Sullivan Of company A, Nineteenth
Infantry, found a second bag loaded with
arsenic anchored just as in tin first in
stance. Spanish spies are known to be
lurking in the neighborhood, where a num-
ber Of Spaniards reside. They are all under
strict surveillance.
