Oreana, Idaho, Oct. lst, 1906
Mr.. Editor
Have just returned from trip Of four
hundred miles on horseback over road
on which | came to Idaho seventeen
years ago, and met many surprise.
The first was at Big Springs, it was a
wilderness then, but now comfortable
houses dot the plain and the many
stacks OF hay and the herds of fat cattle
and horses show evidence of success.
| was nicely entertained for an hour or
SO at Mr.. Spencers, then on to Battle
Creek where J camped for the night af-
ter long ride over the lava plains that
remain just as they we're when | first
crossed them. The road is just as rough.
[ camped the next night on the reserv-
alton about fifteen miles from the
agency on ranch owned by the Thomas
boys (Indians) and here was a surprise
indeed to see every little way an inn
proved ranch and seeming prosperity
all done by our red brothers whom a
lew short years ago were wild men on
the. war path. At the Agency the build
lngs are better A fine large school
building, two stories high, with bellfry
aud bell that calls the little red children
all neatly clad, to school. My next stop
was at Edgemont, new mining camp
nicely situated on the side of the noun
tain overlooking vast extent of conn.
try. Here is ten stamp mill running
night and day and has been ever since
it started and they now have ore enough
in sight to keep the little lnill running
for over six years 1 am told tha
Mountain City is now booming towI
and between Mountain City and Edge
mont there is a big excitement over ;
big find that is richer than any in th'
yellow metal. and so it is all over Ne
yada Istopped over night at the Re-
House on the DunphY ranch Oh Maggi
creek. The ranch extends from STAN
pede to near Battle Mountain. Their
are three houses for the accommodate
of the men-the Red, White aud Blu
houses. Such herds OF fat cattle on tn
meadows and in the hills | never say
| before. On my return | stopped owe
night with VIM. Hansel, superintendent
of the electric power plant at Edgmon
and received Nevada hospitality, whic
every one knows, cannot be beater
