Mr.. Hathaway is employing 70

Mr.. Hathaway left this morning

beat him out in his vigilance on
guard, lacking only the means OF de-
fence, which he expects you to sup
ply. This fact lessons the risk of
the individual who may be keeping
vigil, from the fact that the guard
can lay fiat on the ground and in
that position can ''sky" any approach
ing object, and all the guard has
to do is to watch the old mules ears.
AS soon as coyote or an Indian
approaches near where the animals
are feeding or resting the old mules
ears will drop and with unerrng
certainty point out the exact locality.
But as space is valuable l must
get on with my story.
! Late In the fall of 1862, on our
return trip, we pitched camp for the
night on Burnt river. The night
was cold and windy and something
like an inch of snow fell during the
night.
Other parties had camped along
the river both above and below us
and there were perhaps two hundred
and fifty animals turned loose on the
range that night without guard.
We were out next morning by day
light and soon found our animals,
which had been driven by the storm
to take shelter in the willows that
lined the little stream on either side.
1t was soon known that not a
single animal belonging to the other
parties could be found. 1t did not
take long however to find their trail,
which led down the river in the di-
rection of Snake river. A party
was at once organized, well equipped
with irchester's pistols, ammunition
| and provisions sufficient for several
days Ali of my animals had an
swered to the roll call so rendered
mount to each volunteer and the
boys hit the trail They had not
4 followed the tracks far when they
4 came across one of their animals,
\ that perhaps had given out and was
| killed.
| Continuing with as much speed al
| possible they crossed the Snake rive
and overlook their animals, whicl
, we're being driven by the Indians
on the Weiser river near its confu
ed ence with the Snake. A sharp rur
ar ming fire was kept up until the Ii
ed difns we're driven from the field.

In your issue of July 25th you
recite the fact that while workmen

earthed some human bones, land that
the death of the original possessor

1t may be that as the cold bones"

Gold was discovered in the Boise
Basin in the autumn of 1861, but
the stampede to that section did not
occur until the spring of '62. At
