Salmon City there are a great many
OF them, and they are easily access
sble. There Is scarcely any Of the TIRE
which Is not worth from $50 10 edo
per ton. Many of the creeks carry
gold In their sediment, ahd some pen

stem deposits, known to be the rich

be stockraising. Grazing land is
boundless. 40 much of the country
is mountainous and grassy. and th-re

country Is especially we'll adapted for
cattle. Stockmen never have 10 feed
more than three months during the
year. The hay ranches show some Of
} the must beautiful stands Of timothy
aud clover ever seen. Sheep are
numerous as well as cattle. The t~o
} Industries do not interfere seriously
with each other o. the range is divid-
ed between them. Horses, hogs aad
daily cnws are abundant also. Grain
is not raised in great abundance on
j account Of the expense OF shipping ~

c Yield per acre IN ahundant-in fact
= surprising. Any kind Of temperate
fruit can he raised. The Lemhi
