Wood River News-Miner July 15, 1882
  Mrs. Zac Turner is opening a lodging house in Vienna.
  
  Columbia and Beaver mill passed through Galena last Wednesday.

  Plenty of teams, but no feed about the gulches, near the summit of Sawtooth.

  Too many laborers, and too little for them to do, if they want coin is the 
cry.

  The grading for the Columbia and Beaver mill site is nearly ready for the 
heavy timbers.

  Four sawmills near the summit, and their lumber sells readily at the rate of 
$45 per thousand.

  Only five lodging and boarding houses in Galena at present. Bob Murry has 
the largest one.

  Harry Hoakes came from Vienna to Ketchum, with a slow team, in 8 hours, 
during the past week.

  John Gowan, of the Columbia and Beaver mines, was in town Thursday, but he 
was too busy to talk.
  
  It's a stand-off between Vienna and Sawtooth city just now. Each one 
supports nine first-class saloons.

  Contracts for cutting and delivering many thosand cords of wood were let in 
and about Sawtooth city and Vienna the first of the week. "It makes work for 
the boys."

  Joseph King is employing twenty-eight men in the Senate mine at Galena, and 
last Sunday they ran into a 16-foot vein of carbonates. The strike is 
considered a good thing for the camp, and will cause a renewal of work in many 
prospects, which have long remained almost in their natural state of 
development.
