Challis-the town which takes
its name from Mr.. Chall;s, he
being one of the earliest settlers
in this valley-last week. Mr..
Challis, and his partner, Henry

the best and most valuable claims
in Stanley Basin. On their
claims they have labored most
untirelingly, year after year for
many years-from early Spring

driven them to their Winter

at times, they have never relin
Iquished their hopes, or in Other
words, showed the white feath

limited means and developed
their claims to that extent thai
they could, knowing full tina

had been done, reservoirs bull
