The pack train has arrived and we
are once more happy. Weather ha
cleared ap and every one has gone to
work. A party from ft a ten came tip
last night, and like a great many oth
ers expected to find the root of all evil
hanging on every tree and bush in the
country. But they are no more, two
hour in the woods tcok all this energy
and longing for the precious metal out
of their bodies, they folded their tent,
dumped their flour and oats on the
ground, and departed, sadder but wiser
men. Rutteuberger miners had better
stay outside of Golden City district,
this 1b not the land of milk and honey.
To prospect la this heavy timber and
brushy country takes work, and lot of
it There is a larger and finer mineral
belt In the Cascade mountains than
in any country in the whole north
west But many a head, will turn
gray looking fur ledges and leads of
gold and silver before it will be all
found, hills so high and gulches so
dep and dark that the sun has never
shed its light since these big trees have
put forth their foliage. You have to
coon logs "over deep ravines that are
higher than a no limit game, and aa
dangerous. Nothing but grit and a
good constitution can ever prospect
these mountain, for It is not like Col
orado and the upper country, where
you can take your pack horse with
you. Here no horse can live, for there
is no grass for them to live on noth
ing but moss and brush. "otMug but
cougers can stay here, and they are
scarce.

It was a big m Intake that there was
ever any dispute over the Red Bull
mining claim; the parties would have
made money if tbey had dropped the
suit, for by this time he wonid have
had a saw mill and a lot of men put
ting ia tramway, and by the first of
July would have seen a big stamp
mill running in full Mast, and that
would have added a hundred per cent,
to every mine in this milling district
As it is there will be no mill here this
summer. Nothing but men with plen
ty of money and experience can work
quartz. If there is a mill built her it
will be done by Portland or eastern
capital
If any one coming to this catap have
any packing to do, they will find Jo.

gentlemanly packer in the county to

all coming to Golden City.
It will not be lung before one can
hear blasting on every side of the

But you can hear the pounding of rock

Lloyd Magruder is registered as the
Mayoi of eur city and all disputes are

one is satisfied with his decisions, ex

jovial and Campbell the most digni

get our dog Bob, last night, and he,
like a sensible dog, kept close to camp.

THE ONE PRICE Cash
Store is an immense success;
the sales are very large and
increasing rapidly. It'istrue
the profits are very small, but as we
can turn tho money many times dur

run it pays mucli bettw than the cred
