Mr. Steers had the misfor tune to get an arm broken in a run-away accident a few days ago and came in to have it attended to.

After the horses had gotten under good head way the brake became unmanageable and threw Mr. Steers out, while his wife held onto one line and caused the team to run in a circle and finally the tongue came down and ran into the ground, causing the wagon to stop, while the team ran on. Mrs. Steers was not injured, which, under," the circumstances is miraculous.

Lew thinks hu has a good thing up there, nutwithstandidg the fact that other people have done much to discourage him. There is no doubt that t hero i good mineral in the mountains in that vicinity, as some of the best ore in Ha state has iinii taken out of siiiik- of the prospects in that camp. AVhat is needed more than any one thing, is money, and a lot of it for the develop ment of the deposits that surely exist in tho interior of the hoary old hills on the head waters of the Oehoco. When the fact becomes thoroughly known what the conditions are that confront the mining man in this part of the world it will be easier to get mining men to 'ake bold of the pros pects, but until this is known there will always be trouble in getting any prospect exploited. Th-s part of the state lias been laboring under difficul ties in the line of mining enterprises ever since the discovery of piineral here, from the fact that the mines here, are, from the nature of things bound to be of great depth, and for that reason are not poor men mines Then again too much vildcatting has been done for the good of the country. For years no oue of means would take hold of propositions in the Similiter district for the same reason. Those having claims in that district were of the opinion that if they could gold brick some one they were doing a good piece of business. and the camp soon became known as a wildcat throughout tho mining world. Now, however it is all changed and there arc numerous opportunities for investment in good properties in that camn. It will be the same in the Howard district, but not until a mine is developed to the point of declaring good dividends. HOIt.N.
