Hailey, Alturas County, Wood River News July 15, 1882
MULDOOM MITES-
 Pay-days make the little city look lively.

 Thirty men are employed in the Muldoon mine.

 The woods are ful of prospectors and men hunting for work.

 The Philadelphia Company paid off in greenbacks on the 10th instant.

 Col. Greene has a large force of men on tramways, trails and in the timber.
 
 Pete Weis has gone over to Camas Prarie after beef steers. He kills one every 
morning to supply the Muldoon demand.

 There are more buildings under course of consruction now at Muldoon than in 
any other Wood River town.

 A big strike in a free-milling ore vein is reported on the East Fork of 
Little Wood River, over from Garfield gulch. How big; or who the stikers were, 
we failed to learn. 

 Miss Annie Gallagher has done with her school accomplishments after spending 
several years in California academies, and is now living with her mother, at 
the new and beautiful young city-Muldoon.

 Mans Coffin, Tom Madden and John Parker, owners of the famouse San Francisco, 
were over to look at the mine on Monday. They sit two shifts at work 
immediately, and intend to take out all the ore possibly.

 Last week they had a HORSE RACE IN THE MAIN STREET  OF Muldoon, the first on 
record. The horses were owned by an Oregonian and a Lemhi Indian. Injun 
outran, and gobbled the coin with a complaisant, "ugh!"
