Bernard's Ferry across Snake River.
We present to our readers an excellent view of the ferry boat at Central Ferry, Snake river, owned by James C. Bernard, a well-known and respected pioneer of this county.
Owing to the gigantic strides of civilization in this part of the country, and the fact that within a short time the sound of the locomotive will echo throughout the canyons of Owyhee, we have been impelled to preserve this view of "pioneer times," feeling assured that it will prove of historical interest to those who are destined to take our places when we have passed away.
This ferry was established by Mr. Bernard in 1882, and is located thirty- two miles from Silver City, twenty miles from Caldwell and fifteen miles

from Nampa, and is the most direct route to any of the above - mentioned points. All of the roads leading direct to the ferry have been constructed. steadily improved and kept in condition by Mr. Bernard at his own private expense.
Givens' Hot Spring Resort, Enterprise.
The above is a view of the "Snake River Hot Springs." which are beautifully located on a bend of the Snake river closely adjoining the Warm Springs ferry, located thirty-five miles from Silver City and fifteen miles from Caldwell, easily accessible from all parts of the county.
The property embraces 154 acres, beautifully shaded by poplars and fruit trees of various kinds, and the springs consist of one large thermal swimming pool 16x40 feet, strongly impregnated with iron, magnesia, sulphur and other health-giving properties. This pool is covered by a fine, substantial building of 24x52 feet, with private rooms and conveniences for the accommodation of the patrons.
The smaller spring is located about 800 yards from the hotel, and contains the same ingredients as the larger pool.
The hotel is admirably kept by Mrs. M. R. Givens, and the table abund- antly furnished with all the delicacies of the season. The springs has a large patronage, and is a great resort during the summer season for private picnic parties, and the waters have been highly recommended by the leading physi- cians of the state, and have proved of great benefit to all those afflicted by rheumatic, cutaneous and nervous disorders.

THREE CREEK.
Three Creek is located in the southeastern portion of the county, about fifty miles south of the Snake river. On account of its elevation, there is but little attention given to farming, but it is specially adapted to stock raising, and is thickly settled by stock men.
The first location was made in the 'zos by Joe Scott, of Miles City, Mont., who gave the country the name of "71," it being the number of the first range located, and the brand adopted by Scott in branding his cattle.
The principal stock company in this section is the Sparks-Harrell Com- pany, of Visalia, Cal., who, for their untiring attention to the improvement

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF PIONEERS.
ADAMS, DAVE, was born in Darwin, Clark county, Illinois, in the year 1843. Emigrated, with an uncle, to Pocahontas, Arkansas, in 1857. Left the unele a year or so afterward and went to Fort Smith, in that state. There he started in to learn the printer's trade. Worked a year or so as "devil" in an office there, and then went to the Indian Territory for a short time, locating finally at Sherman, Texas, where he worked in printing offices until the fourth day of March, 1861. On that memorable day in American history, the day on which Lincoln took his seat in the presidential chair for his first term, when states were seceding from the Union and war clouds were gathering, he joined a party whose sympathies were with the North, and, with mule teams, went to Chihuahua, Mexico, thence to Arizona, and, late in the fall of that year, landed in Watsonville, Santa Cruz county, California. Here he worked at his trade until 1864, when he enlisted in the army .... in Company A, Eighth infan- try, California Volunteers, and served until the end of the war, being stationed most of the time at Fort Point, San Francisco, and the mouth of the Columbia river. Was discharged at the Presidio in 1865. Remained in California until the next spring, when he drove a horse team, loaded with flour, to Humboldt county, Nevada. Here he engaged in various occupations, among which were "keeping station," operating pack trains and burning charcoal for smelting companies, until the spring of 1868, when, in company with seven or eight others, he walked from that point, through a portion of Oregon, to Silver City, Idaho, a distance of nearly 300 miles. The greater portion of that summer was spent as a laborer on a farm in Snake river valley, known as the Ike Jennings ranch, on Catharine creek, and now known as Oreana. That fall he was employed with a government surveying party-surveying township lines and subdividing on both sides of Snake river, between Walter's Ferry and the mouth of the Bruneau river. After being discharged at Boise City late that fall, he returned to Silver City, and soon afterward went to work on the Tidal Wave, a newspaper then being published by the Butler brothers. Quit the office in July of the next year (1869) and went on a prospecting tour into the Sawtooth, or Salmon river, mountains, in company with a man by the name of Henry H. Knapp, a printer and assayer. That fall the famous Loon creek placer camp was discovered, and the subject of our sketch and his partner were the first men on the ground besides the discoverers. They located several claims, and, as a town was soon started, they took in another man (M. A. Wentworth) as a partner; built some houses; bought in a stock of general merchandise on pack animals from Boise Basin, and started a store, and soon afterward started an express line between Loon creek and Idaho City-a distance of about one hundred and forty miles; carrying mail and express matter on horseback during the summer months, and on snowshoes in the winter time. Flour sold as high as fifty cents per pound. The charge for taking out or bringing in letters was fifty cents each; newspapers, fifty to

seventy-five cents; magazines, one dollar, and small packages in proportion. No work could be done that first winter, and, supposing that everybody in camp had a bonanza, Dave (as he was then, and had always been, familiarly called) and his partners sold out their goods to the miners on credit. The next spring, when mining operations commenced, it soon became apparent that the rich ground was not extensive. The miners could not make their claims pay expenses. Consequently they could not pay their bills contracted during the previous winter, and the firm of Adams, Knapp & Wentworth was "broke." That fall (1870) Adams went to Boise City and again assumed the role of a typo. In 1871 he again returned to Silver City and engaged in mining on War Eagle mountain for a few months, when he got a situation on the Avalanche, then published by W.J. Hill, continuing thus employed until July, 1874. Then, being in poor health, he went to San Francisco and other coast towns in California. Speculated unsuccessfully in mining stocks and returned again to Silver City about the first of July, 1876. Went to Boise City a few days later and took a situation on the Statesman, as foreman; the paper being published at that time by Judge Kelly. The next year, however (1877), he returned once more to Silver City, and worked one year on the Avalanche for Major Hay. The winter of 1878-79 was spent in an unprofitable mining venture on War Eagle mountain, but in the spring and summer of 1879 engaged in successful speculations in and about Silver City, and in October of 1880, in partnership with Guy Newcomb, he purchased the Avalanche plant from Major J. S. Hay. In May, 1882, he disposed of his interest in the Avalanche to Charles M. Hays. From the editorial tripod he entered other lines of trade, purchasing the Silver City iron foundry, engaging in the wood business and speculating in real estate, which he followed for several years. The foundry, which he still owns, was operated up to 1886. In the winter of 1884-5, Mr. Adams represented Owyhee county in the territorial legislature. In 1889, in partnership with Ira S. Allen, he opened a furniture store on Washi- ington street, but in 1892 a full line of general merchandise was put in and the furniture closed out. The same year his partner, Mr. Allen, absconded. Mr. Adams is now sole owner of and conducts the largest mercantile establishment and business in Owyhee county. His fine store room, in Granite block, is 40x70 feet, and practically fireproof. He also owns two warerooms in the same block. and several other houses in different parts of the town. He is local agent for both the Hercules and Safety-Nitro powder companies, of California, handling three carloads of powder in 1897. Also superintendent of the Morn- ing Star Gold Mining & Milling Company.
Silver City not having banking facilities, the deficiency has been supplied for several years past by Mr. Adams, in the way of buying and issuing checks, receiving deposits, etc. For the year 1897 this branch of business (checks cashed and remitted to the Boise National Bank) has amounted, in exact figures, to $237,619.84. and has been of inestimable convenience to the mining companies operating here, as well as to the general public.
The foregoing sketch of Mr. Adams' life, while barely touching the pass- ing changes and experiences of the same, will show to the rising generation the possibilities of reaching honored and successful positions in life, however humble the beginning may be. He very often met with discouraging reverses, and suffered innumerable hardships, but, with an energy that knew not fatigue,

and with indomitable pluck and perseverance, he solved the problem and is now enjoying the reward.
ADAMS, MR. PETER, was born in Dunkirk, New York, in February. 1837. In 1864 he crossed the plains to California, and came to Idaho in 1866. Mr. Adams is a carpenter and millwright by trade. From 1874 to 1878 he was engaged in the furniture business in Silver City. In 1876, in partnership with Mr. T. W. Jones, he erected a custom quartz mill at Wagontown. For the past fifteen years Mr. Adams has followed mining, and is the owner of the valuable Garfield group of mines at Wagontown. These properties are opened by fully 3,000 feet of tunnels, and were the first to ship ore over the Oregon Short Line railway after its completion.
BABINGTON, MR. JOSEPH, was born near Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, August 22, 1837. When at an early age, his parents settled in Illinois, and subsequently in Iowa. In 1862 he crossed the plains, settled at La Grande, Oregon, and engaged in farming. On March 11, 1864, he located at Reynolds creek, being one of the earliest settlers in that locality. He kept the stage station near Reynolds up to 1871, and subsequently was ranching about nine iniles from Silver. Of late years has permanently resided at Reynolds, engaged in stockraising and farming.
BACHELER, MR. CHAUNCEY DARWIN, was born at Osceola, Liv- ingston county, 'Michigan, December . 8, 1835 ... Was brought up on a farm, and left home February 14, 1854; bound for California by way of the isthmus, and arrived at San Francisco March 25, 1854. He mined in the Secret ravine diggings, in Placer county, until 1861, when he left there for Virginia City, where he remained until the spring of 1864. when he struck out for Owyhec county, reaching that place March 10, 1864. He first located a ferry on the Owyhee river, and in 1865 opened a livery stable at Ruby City, which he carried on for about two years. In 1867 he located a ranch in Jordan valley, which he disposed of in 1869, made a trip home to Michigan, and returned in 1870, and located the Goose ranch, in Jordan valley. In 1879 he disposed of this ranch and purchased the Trout creek station, which he continued until 1882, when he located at Camp Three Forks, where he engaged in the ranch and dairy business, and in 1891 he moved to De Lamar, where he at present resides, engaged in dairy business and teaming.
In 1876 he was married to Miss Martha E. Corp.
While ranching in Jordan valley in 1867, and on his way to Silver City with a load of hay, he was attacked by a band of Pintes and shot in the side, the ball passing through his elbow, but was rescued by a friend, who carried him to shelter. The wound was a serious one, and he still suffers at this late date from the effects of it.
Mr. Bacheler is a crack shot and an old Indian fighter. He participated in the Jordan fight in Owyhee canyon, and since that date has had the felicity of accidentally transporting many a red devil to the "happy hunting grounds."
