The Crooked River Strike.

The strike reported in the FREE
Press last week as being made by
Sherwood McGibbon and Ike Max
well on Crooked river, south of Elk
City, is giving better values in the
crucible than the discoveries ever
anticipated. Assays made here
last week show values OF 1894
and s56.42 in gold per ton, besides
a small showing in silver. The
ore is very similar in appearance
to that from the richest chutes on
the Cleveland group, and there is
no doubt in our Hind; knowing

The town of Nome, where the
buildings are, is about one mile
long and / of mile wide, but the
tent town is fully 6 or 8 miles long
but not so wide, and they are
scattered up and down the beach
as far as you can see. Town lots
are staked and claimed over a large
enough space to make two such
towns as Portland. The streets in
the main part of town are very
narrow, not over 30 feet wide, and
the sanitary conditions of the place
are something frightful, and il
things remain that way until the
hot weather sets in I have no
doubt but that people will die by
the hundreds, We are informed
that, when the soldiers get here,
everything will be under martial
law, and as Uncle Sans men have
made q reputation, through the
Indian and other wars, Of getting
there, we feel pretty sure they will
be here iu time to save all and gel
the town in good shape, but it is
q general superstition that q great
many will have to be sent home by
the government as there are *
many here broke, and fellows who
could not rustic for themselves in
any country.
There are supposed to be about
so, 600 people here, all on the sam,
errand, and they are still coming
and some few going back.
Several men have been killed

AN OPEN LETTER.
Statement Of Expenditures on
Salmon River Wagon
Road

Corr, IDAHO, July 5, 1900.
EDITOR FREE Press:
Herewith find statement Of
funds, etc received and expended
in the construction of the exten
sion Of the wagon road to this
point. The same is respectful ly
submitted for the information OF
subscribers to the fund.
The work done consists Of one
mile and four rods of
completed road, over which
l hauled $500 pounds with an or.
binary four-horsa team and crossed
the outfit on the ferry to the south
side of Salmon. There is about
450 feet remaining to construct
from the ferry landing to connect
with the new road up Little Sal
mon; this portion OF the road is
now passable for wagons 10 miles
south of here. The work necessary
to complete the connection will be
done by volunteer labor, and will
be completed with little delay.
AS it is. the dangerous and dizzy
trails that have been the
terror to outsiders in the past
are now done away with forever.
and the new ferry is in shape to
cross safely anything from a foot
passenger to q ten ton outfit.
Notice of the above in your val
liable paper will lie due NOTICE that
we in this section are wide
awake to the Importance of better
roads, and think the fact has been
demonstrated that the matter OF
cost OF roads has been largely over
estimated. Yours truly,
