IT. IV T
LETTER FROM WOOD R1YER.
Bellevue, I. T., April 23d, 1882.
Wood Kiver, a branch of the
S lake, has an elevation of 5,000 ft.
above the sea. The vallev has an
average width of about o ie mile.
Th slope is uniform and pleasing.
The mountains rise hundreds of feet
on both sides of the valley. The
scenery is wild and rugged. Eter.
nal snow rests upon the distant
peaks. w inters are long and se
vere.
The snow has just disappear-
ed from the streets of the town CUrred the popular displeasure. Cnoir for their assistance at the cel
from one to six teet yet rests upon . Mason shot at Guiteau, and his wife Oration of the 63d anniversary of
tne mountains. .Business is
stag-
nant in winter, but active in sum
mer. The people are similar in hab
its and idiosyncrasies to John Day,
Canyon City, and Prairie City
The chief attractions of this region
are j
THE mines,
which are extensive and promising.
The ore is principally galena, raug-
oz- to G5 oz- silver per
ton- The ledges run North West,
boutn iList. JfJacer diggings are
also found at various points of the
river. The writer has been prospect
ing the past month, and considers
himself foitunate in securing one
ledge, the Jay Bird and also has a
- interest in the Maggie May lode.
The principal towns are Bellevue,
Hailey, Ketchum, Galena, Bullion,
Sawtooth, Bradford and Muldoon.
All are in the midst of rich .silver
fields. This is the largest town in
the valley. Jt is well laid out and
will be of considerable importance.
the agricultural interests
of this region are of minor import
ance. It is too hijrh for general pro-
! duce. Some of the hardier vesreta-
les and fruits do fairlv. The soil
;n u,e vaiev js 0f ft sandv and crrav-
oily nature. Grazing is excellent.
fle;rds of catLle aml 8jieep graze
tbriuffWut this region during the
ier montns. in tne jail aJi
k are driven to Snake river to
winter. There is no grazing here of
indi consequence until the middle
ot Mav. lieei cattle here have been
bigh and thin all winter and spring.
THE AMUSEXF.XTS
are various and exhilarating, con
sisting of miscellaneous dances,
balls, gambling, theatres, parties,
etc. Religious services every Sun
day and Thursday. The Sunday
school has an attendance o. about
100; it is the most interesting and
instructive place on the river to the
writer. The race park will be in
readiness on the 1st of Julv, where
all of riotous nature may fiud a con
genial atmosphere. Everything des-
titute of horns is admitted to the
curriculum. The Blue Mountain
Belle would find a host of rivals in
this region of sweepstakes. Th
Wood River people say, if the John
Day Valley spoi ts want their feath-
ers cu aiui their pride in t e dust,
let them bring on their nag.

If one wishes to become suddenly
rich and famous, all that he has to
i do is to shoot some one who has in-
has received as a gift by subscription
more money than the average per -
son accumulates in a lfetime. To
cap the climax, a subscription has
been started for, the family of Jesse
James, who has murdered a score of
people and committed almost num
berless robberies.
A Splendid Success.
The May number of the GiLiForNiAN,
opens with a full-page pro trait of
the poet Longfellow which, it is not
to much to sav. is the finest piece of
engraving ever done on the Pacific
Coast. Prof. Sill has in the body of
the magazine an article on the

appreciative.
