Work on the trail from Florence to the
Hump commenced last week. Twelve
miles had been completed by the evening
Of the second day. If stormy weather
does not interfere the trail will be COM
pleted to the Hump by the 10th. This
trail is being built by the joint efforts of
the citizens Of Florence and Grangeville
and about $1,000 has been subscribed for
tor its construction. The indications are
that there will be travel enough to keep
the trail open but it is earnestly hoped
by those familiar with the camp and the
Climate that winter rush may not set in.
II would be useless. Laborers and pros
pectors should not 20 to the camp.
There is no employment for them and
the snow is far too deep to permit of any
prospecting. Those going in must carry
their own supplies as there are no accom-
modations in the camp save for those
who have established themselves there
tor the winter.
