Despite the fact that we have tined TO
hold back u crowd OF prospectors from
rushing into this camp until the snow is
of the hills and out OF the Canyons, and
the wagon roads SO that supplies can be
brought in, men are rushing in here like
flies to a carcass. :
There Is no need Of all this haste
We have d big miueral belt but scarcely
scratched. The ore is iere in plenty for
every one. and il is good. But those
coming IN O should be hearty, strong
men % stand the hardships OF this new
camp. None but the bravest. youacest
aud heartest should attempt to tigh,
the SHOWS OF thus camp.
The snow Is now from three 10 seven
fset deep hero, Part Of the time the
mail Is brought in ON horseback and no
treight:nG Is beng done. 1t will be at
least thirty days before men can get
over the hills. unless our spring should
be unusually early.
Those Ia come Is from Mountain
Home. Idaho. report no snow between
that point and here. with the exception
Ut 4 little near Mountain Home. They
also report the wagon road 10 fair con
ditoB between that point and Aura.
They give as their opinion that 1t Is an
ideal automobile route between the two
points. The merchants Of Mountain
Home have been looking into the merits

with the showing that some attractive
inducements Ia soon lie made Ia Or
business men. =.
