MARSHALL LAKE, via Resort,
Idaho, July 18.-rhe largest ledge
thus far discovered IN the Marshall
Lake mini g district was unearlhed
a few days ago by A Harper and j.
Duerden. The ledge is said to be
from 80 to 81 feet wide by actual
measurement.
The discoveries report that the
rock assays from 81. 40 to $25 per
ton. The ore resembles the Bear
creek rock. The ledge runs in a
northerly and southery direction, ex-
tending in a direct line TOW ard the
Buffalo Hump mountains, which can
easily be seen from this district
All the Bear creek leads run in ex-

Idaho looks most inviting for invest
ment. Since the reports of Idaho's
new gold camp have obtained public

through the 'knocker stage. Irres-

anything good about the camp. But

Nebraska City proper was laid out
by Gen. H. P. Downs, s. F. Muck

in the summer Of 1854. Previous to
March, 1854, the land in this vicinity
was claimed by the Otoe Indians, but
by treaty with Government they
were subject to settlement in June Of
said year. In the same year Kearney was
laid out by John Boulware and John

It's Location.
Nebraska City, comprising within
it's present corporate limits what was
formerly Nebraska, Kearney, and
South Nebraska Cities, is the County
Seat of Otoe County, and situated
about the center of it's eastern border
on the Missouri river-735 miles
above St. Louis by water and 500 by
land. It's distance from the Kansas
line is As miles and miles from the
Missouri line. 1t is nearly on the
same parallel with New York City
and with the great bend to the North
of the Platte river, at which point the
various Emigrant and Government
trains converge, from Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa,-on the route up the
Valley Of the Platte to the different
Government Forts on the frontier.
From Nebraska City on the Missouri
is the nearest and most direct route to
Forts Kearney, Laramie, and Bridg-
er. 1t covers the ground upon which
old Fort Kearney was situated. Out
and westward from the City leads the
famous "Ridge road" to Utah and
California, deeply trodden and still
bearing marks of the thousand weary
footsteps vending their way for the
