CROWDING INTO THE MINES.
Struggling Mass of Humanity at Bumpter

"You never in your life saw suoh a

bis mining properties In the Bad Boy
distriol. "People are crowding into
tbese camps by tbe tUousand," said be,
"mjd snow and oold weather are no ob
stacles io tbe way.
"I was surprised beyond measure to
see such a stir this early in the season,
although I waa ooufideul tbe rash would
begin early. Every bote), lodging bouse
and available plaoe is crowded and
scores of people are compelled to sleep
io chairs at 8am pter.
"Granite is beginning to attract a big
part of tbe influx of population acd here
I saw many teuta sffording shelter to
people, the soaroity of hotel accomoda
tions and lumber with wbiob to erreot
buildings necessitating the introduction
of oaovas as protection against cold and
storms.
"A very noticeable feature of tbe rush
that is oo is that tbe majority of the
people have money and are prepared to
make investments in both mine looations
and real estate. This gives tbe move
ment substantial backing and makes
lively business for those who early got
in on the ground floor and will give
them tbe ohaooe of their lives to make
money."

SHEEPMAN 18 TROUBLED.
lie Fears Sheep Knnges will be Leased to
BtuckruUf rs.
Morning Orcgonlan.
J. I. Carson, a Wyoming abeepbuyer,
wh has his headquarters at the Belve
dere, while looking over tbe Northwest
with a view to sheep purchases, says he
is worried over tbe proposed leasing of
government lauds to stookmen. Mr.
Onrson wants 25,000 yearlings, wbiah be
expeots to drive over the trails through
Idaho and Western Wyoming tbe ensu
ing summer and fall, but it tbe govern
ment leases vacant lands to stookmen,
he will not be permitted to drive bia
bands across the hitherto free ranges ot
the Snake River valley. He therefore is
decidedly opposed to any ohange in tbe
present condition of matters along bis
route. '
"If that bill beoomes a law," he said
yesterday, ' I will have to go baok home
without any sheep, as I can't afford to
pay freight on the railroads for them.
We have been driving sheep over the
trails for several years, and have thus
been enabled to summer our flocks along
the roud, arriving at the Wyoming winter
ranges with tbe sheep in fine condition ,
though, ot oourse, after a series ot fre
quent olaahings with tbe farmers and
stockmen along the route. A band of
7U00 head ot sbtytp will cat a wide swath
in a patch ot grass, and four of such
bands would make a trail of their own
as they travel over tbe country. I thick
the stookmen of Oreguu should oppose
such a law in a body, as tbey will have
a time trying to sell their sheep, unless
the bands can be driven over tbe trailu."
