Mr.. Naanan Johnson returned from
the Hughes creek placer fields yesterday,
where he has been for several weeks eX-
mining placer prospects for certain per-
sons who contemplate investing in the
mines. Mr.. Johnson was a pioneer placer
miner of Madison county and found
much cause for encouragement in the
conditions prevailing in the upper Bitter
Root. He states that there are very rich
claims there, both developed and indie
veloped: that from the Canyon claim
which has been we'll prospected and de-
veloped, Messrs. Orb and Mallory took
out over $500 in four days and that they
average from twenty to thirty dollars
per day to the man. The Word Placer
company also has very rich ground which
has been thoroughly prospected and
which yields equally as we'll as the
Canyon claim. Many other claims are be-
ing prospected, on all of which gold is
found in the gravel. The great draw
back to the development of the camp is
the fact that it is situated on the forest
reserve and thus far this year the miners
have been obliged to whipsaw the lumber
they use.

was more serious. Because he was refused
a drink he wilfully smashed a window

as a consequence will lanluish in Jail for
60 days.
Frequent showers. plenty of huckleber-
ries and great catches Of mountain trout
is the bill of fare offered by Dame Nature
during the closing days CT summer. The
farmers make wry faces at the rain, Which
is sadly interfering with the ripening of
the grain, and the campers force a sickly
smile and pretend they enjoy it, but the
berries and trout tickle the palates Of all,
and are a welcome delicacy..
