Safe Trip to Owl Creek,

Harry Guleke and his assistant Mr..
Fowler returned from the mouth of
Owl creek last Wednesday where they
had gone with a boat loaded with a
cargo of merchandise for Mr.. Finn.
and few passengers, who will go to
work in the mines for the same gentle
man.
Guleke had no mishaps on his voy-
age down the river to Owl creek and
delivered his cargo and passengers in
good shape. This fearless Salmon
river navigator will Immediately con-
struct another boat to be used for the
same purpose as the first. He usually
loads his boat with four tons for this
trip, but with the improvement of the
river channel he can with safety carry
a much larger tonnage.
There would be much greater dis
patch in freighting to the Owl creek
and other points on the river if there
was a trail built along the river or
close to it, so that the navigators
would be facilitated in their return to
this port for fresh load, and also Civ
ing the purchasers an easy opportun-
ity to come here and select their goods
before dispatching them to their des-
tination, and it is wisdom on the part
OF business men located as ours are, to
have this trail put through.
The very fact that platinum, irid-
ium, osmium, gold, silver and lead has
been found in satisfactory commercial
quantities in the newly discovered
mining camps tributary to the Salmon
river, is guarantee of the Importance
OF the trade of that section to the busi.
ness OF this point, and genuine enter
prise should see that it is not permitted
to languish for want of suitable facili-
ties TO secure it.-Salmon City |
