THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE IDATILO. Rich Mining Region in Alturas County. ** Cities” In the Valley of Wood River. Old-Timo Prospectors—Mr, Oroy’s Wintor- Experience in 1879-'80. A Mineral Relt Forty Miles Long and Twenty Broat Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, HaAinay, Iduho (Wood River), September, 1851,—Appronching this land of promise from the Enst, the best route Is yin Ogden and the Utah & Northern Nond to Blackfoot; thence hy a fine line of four-horso stages of the Gil- mmer & Salisbury Company. ‘This route saves ‘suveral hours’ staging, aud is the one most patroulzed und best equipped, The Inva- beds, teross which the ruute leads, are dreary enough; but, once past them, the face of the country is suddenly changed; the monotonous dull red’ and yellow of the burned-out lavaallstrict gives way to rolling, fertile valleys, frowned down upan by lofty: qmountuins; pure mountain-born streams dnsh across the rond, supplying the mvenl- stations with mottntahietrout In the greatest. abundance: and everywhere, even far up the mountabisides, Is & rich cont of evergreen grass, “crrirs.” Entering at last the Valley of Wood River, We roll past numerous ranches; then comes the Town of Bellevue; four miles beyond is Talley; tet miles above Is Ketchum; still farther beyond, under the long shidow of the lofty Saw-Tooth Range, {s the prosperous indvlng camp of Galena; and over the Divide is still another “clty—Saw-Tooth, The first thres of these are prosperous towns, with 4 population each of about 800 souls; aud cach Is well supplied with stores and sa- loons, newspapers, ete,; but cach is stl! tuo young to support a school, although ench now hasa conskterable and rapldly bicreasing juvenile population. Gatena and Saw-Tooth partake more of the character of camps us yet; but, inasmuch as they are in the very heartof the best mining reglon, another sea- son will see well-puilt and poptilous towns there too. Bellevue ts situated at an altitude of 5,000 feet above sea-level, Halley 5,600~ the altitude Increasing until Saw-Tooth is reached, which lies atn probable altitude of 9,000 feet, WHY THEY CAM This valley from Bellevue up fs from three to. s miles In width, hemmed iu by lofty mountains, all through which are “mines in abundances; and the present season has demonstrated that the hardy crops and vegetables can be suc- cessfully grown here. ff many will ask, Why Js it that all those people have tloeked futo that far-away country? Twill answer, Like go much of our Western country, this ls the old hunting-grounds of the nite merous Indi tribes now quartered upon aumerous reservations scattered about in every direction, ‘Chesa ald dwellers here clung to the country with a grip pul. less tenuclous than that of the Sioux to the Black. Hills and Yellowstone regions, because they were mumerteally powertul; they resisted mil encroachments upon thelr dto- imuin to the bitter end.

They came, and fought, and worked; but etvilization was far in their rear, and there only was enpitals and so they went again—that is, sone of them did. Some of them staid; but who they were, or whore abey sleep, we cannot tell, We find their trafls, and shafts, and” tunnels upon every hand; but the diggers and the trail-makers are seldom mot.

Mr. Parker scomed in grent distress, 1s- suring ine bls wife—tho step-imother—would no Jonger uttempt to coutrol or care for this little girl, asso ran away from thom, aud they had grest troublo in tinding her. It had come to this point—that elthor Grace or she must leave tha house, for his wife told bin when he atarted off with Grace that he brought Grace back she should leave. And then who coud take cure of tho two little ones that sho was wilflig to still keep? Itdld not seem right to me to try to get thls girl Into our achool under tho provisions of our lnw, for he was able to carn good waxes, and was, apparently, not tssiputed. ‘The girl was bright and intercsting, and, J was contident, could orsily be managed in a pood home, .8o1 told Mr. Parker of the exeel- Jent home the Belvidere ludles hud tuld ine of at this dtr.

Parker gladly cousented to this, and as be sald ho knew of no place where be could leave thao eblld while cominunienting with Belvidero friends I offered ta keep her.
