averaged $10 an acre easily, and there
was no need to sell heforo-th y would

Dry (Huh Mininu Camp, "
April 0, 1880.
EDtTOft LkUANON EXI'KKHS !
Bitting In a tent at nine o'clock nt
night on a one leg stool writing for n
paper Is something ntw for me, but as
I have i changed my system" sonie
what and become a prospector in tins
to bo a live mining camp, I will tell
you v hut little news there Is to lie
found hero. There are several men
working ou the Canal Fork mlnu about
live tulles from here, und over at Sil
ver City there Is a new mining camp,
where they are preparing to commence
work on the Galena mine, which I un
derstand Is very rich. At Quurtzvllle
there Is only ono man to he found, and
with our party of four makes up the
population of (JuarUville mining dis
trict No. 8. We rcuched this
place on AnriU, njid pitched our tent
at the mouth of Dry (lulch on II. Ken
ton's quartz claim, as tired a set of men
as over set foot In this locality. This
is my first experience as a prospector
and in camping out, and to come down
to bacon and beans three times a day
has taken all the romance nut of this
would be millionaire miner, We vis
ited the famous White Hull mine and
several more in the. sumo locality,
among them Heed, Itohodcs & Cos.
mine, and found them to be what they
have been represented, liut climbing
up and down mountains and fulling
over logs was too great a task for our
party In one day, and when we arriv
ed in camp from our day's journey and
nothing to eat, found our party in any
thing but good humor. We have lo
cated four mines; the fir.-t we called
"O D," a gold bearing: quartz on Cedar
creek. The second we called file Dull
of Cedar Jrcck. as It is a lineable of
fense for any one to come in here and
take up more than one claim without
bringing the bovine square to the
front. There is the White Bull, lied
Bull, and every other kind and odor of
bulls imaginable among the different
quartz claims in this district. 11. Ken
ton has located a fine goliua ledge bore
and is in a qimtulry whether to call it
the Lebanon Exprets or after iichurnt
ing widow in Albany. .Hut they wiy
the widows never get left, and you can
make sure that in tais particular
quartz ledge the widow will win. We
are all crippled up and invalids. Too
many steep mouutainsand deep gulch
es is the cause of our many ills, but in
lue time I think, bacon and beam will
will declare themselves the victors,
For a change last tight for supper we
changed cur system and tried titled ni
plcH (stewed) for supper. That was
my prescription and I was placed on
the retired list. As an epicurean phil
osopher they say I am a failure. We
have not itiet with any animalu
that infesl the mountains, l;iit we have
heard strange noises at iilgln which
have caused H. Kenton to imagine
they were poking tneir lows up
against the side of the tent where
he sleep:. We have gnat faith
in Iob, our watchdog, to drive away
all intruders and see that none of us
are carried ;;. The oil is getting low
and your humble servant, ufter a hard
day's walk, Is too sleepy tojnlleetupon
the compositor any more of -this my
first. ' J'HOHI'KCTOU.

You Cannot Afford
At this season of the year to be without
a good reliable diarrhoea balsam in the
house, as cramps, colic, diarrhoea and
all inflammation of the Blonmch and
bowels are exceedingly dangerous if
not attended at once. One bottle of
BlKiU'R DIAKUIKEA , BALSAM
will do more good in cases of this kind
than any other medicine on earth.
We guarantee it. M. A. Miller, druggist-
