RELIC FROM MINING CAMP
A Record of Events in the Palmy Days
at Florence Camp.

Those who have been talking about
the high cost of living should take a
look at an old day book bearing date
of 1861, and 1862 which was brought
to the Progress office by Guy McMil-
Ian. The book was found by Mr.. Nc
MILAN at Florence, a once flourishing
mining camp of the Salmon river coun-
try. The binding was all disintegrated
and the list is faded, but here are some
of the items recorded: Flour, $50 per
sack; pound tea, SO; los pounds beans,
$1O5; three pair socks, Sc; plug of to,
bacco, So; pair boots, So; 81 pounds of
bacon, s31.50; box of yeast powder.
$3.50; pound of coffee, $3.50; axe han
die, 50; IS punds of cheese, $40; two
pounds crackers, 50; two candles, 81:
shovel, $25; one shirt, So; bar soap. So;
20 spikes, $40; rice, S1.5O per pound:

axe, So; Is pounds apples, $40; gallon
syrup, $l2; nails, $1.25 per pound; two
pounds of potatoes, $3.50; dipper, $3.50;
two pounds quick silver, So.
The first thing one might think of
was that wages were in proportion, but
from other books and papers found it
was noticed that wages were an ounce
OF goid DAY, or about Sl2.50, which
was not in keeping with the prices
charged as compared with prices and
wages of today.
Meals at restaurant were a dollar
and whiskey sold for "pincho a
drink, or enough. gold dust to make
twenty five cents. All the goods were
freighted in from Walla Walla. At the
above time Florence was camp of
several hundred people and many of
the old timers in this commLnitv re-
member incidents connected with it's
rise and fall.-Kamiah Progress.

BUSINESS CHANGE.

1t is with pleasure that we are able
to announce this week another slight
business change in our city whereby
Mr.. Thos. j. Parker becomes affiliated
with his brother, e. L. Parker. in the
mercantile life of Cottonwood. Mr..
Parker came here last fall from
Nebraska with view of locating some
where in this part of the west and,
after spending the winter here and ac-
quainting himself with local condi
tions, decided he could do as well in
Cottonwood as anywhere and purchased
one-half interest in his brother s
store. Mr.. Parker has had consider
able experience in the mercantile bust
ness, having been employed in store
work for number of years as a boy
and young man later spending fifteen
years on the road as dry goods sales
man, and this knowledge will stand
him in good stead.
The change in the firm name will
be practically the only change mott
ceable in the Parker store and people
of this locality will receive the same
courteous treatment and value for their
money as they have in the past
We are glad to see Mr.. Parker be-
come permanent resident of our city
and feel certain he will prove man of
real worth to this COMMUNICATIONS
