Heruweare In the uew mining district dis-trict of Cache county, Thli camp has now about fifty claims all showing ore, but asyet thero lias not been any no of them proven to be very rich, In fact, only ouo has Assayed 12i uunct-o of liver; the rest go low In In J. The showing thus far la good, but Uoco not Judlfy the nolso It hai received. Tht re are about 200 meu at work In the tnlurs and rosinctlng and aliout 100 coming and going a day. It Is well that lluy are clone to home,so that those that are disappointed do not lose much time. One thing noticeable Is that Halt Lasers are but few and far belwteu. today there were only seven men. This might lw railed Og. den's ailtlltlou, as most of tho comeroaud gowonruOgdinpeopIe, It might lo called OgdenV lento ground. We havusten the father with his wlfo audi hlldren, and tho young man with hleiwtetheatt shoalng hir around the mlueo as though their future hstitms dtjinded on them. The old man of 80 uud the youth of 13 aro seen with phk or shovul on their shoulders ilhublng tho bill', smiling aud swelling, happy lu the morning, dlsat tainted at night, somelravliig next day the others tr lug It again. The tamp Is situated In the mouu-talna mouu-talna as most of mining t ami a ure, but ItlaaUautlfulslght. Cuming down the hill all at ouiu you see forty or fifty tents, small aud large, ranged on ilthir side of Main street, wll lithe tamp fires on the hllli on every side. Illsllrelmhcd. Humtr over iarh, the evening Is siieui In groups In front of some toot that hai a lira In front of It, discussing the day'rt llnd, ttie value ol Ihu llnd, the formation, the future of thu camp, with here aud thtre a soiM,and once In a whllua yell something some-thing like a Commaucho Indian. Thu town has four restaurants, six stores, one tutcher shop, where cue can buy luef chtaperthau In Halt lake City, Iwo bakers' shops with bnad at ten cuits a loaf, lour whisky shops, ami one blacksmith shop, with prices but little higher than In tho city. Hire old timers meet.

To give you iitenn short, skttch of their life aud habits wnulJ take too much time now; will try and do so liter; sufllce tossy give mean old time msiei(or, and I will show you not only a good man but una generous to a fault. The city wai surveyed yesterday and li bilng graded today, but nototi thesametlan of gradaas Halt Lake. This one does not destroy the property AdlscenU To give tho leader an Idea of the corners and goers, there never was a wagon ur btrggy or carriage mado that the Ilka has not arrived lu tills camp. Willi Ihls the reader can only draw on his imagination to get an Idea olthe belter skelter of getting here aud getting back again. II J.Kaust. La l'LATA.Atlg. 27, 1BIU |
