BIG LAND DISCOVERY. Hon. Geo
W. Tibbetts. in company with two
other gentlemen. have been cut for the
past week or ten days on land ex-
ploring expedition, and their efforts in
that line have been crowned with the
most gratifying success. They worked
their way into and through an unsur-
veyed tract Of land at the head waters
Of the S4uak Creek, upon which the
foot of man has never before troddeD.
1t is about fifteen miles from Renton,
and from five to eight miles distant
from the Cedar Mountain coal mine.
Mr.. Tibbitts states that there they
found very large body Of splendid
rich bottom land, lightly covered with
vine maple and alder, and hardly any
underbrush. capable of sffording large.
comfortable farms for at least fifteen ar
twenty families. besides thousands Of
acres Of rich and fertile uplAuds jo,n-
ing this samc valley. These three
gentleman. Mr.. Tibbetts. Mr.. Rifle and
Mr.. Wilson, the discoveries. were 90
much pleased with what they had
found that they are now having it sur
veyed at their own expense with the
view of each securing for himself as
large . portion Of the prize Us the law
will allow. This party spent several
days travelling over aud exploring this
land and as they are ell thoroughly
competent judges of ouch matters and
perfectly reliable gentlemen, there can
10 no doubt but what this section is
just what they represent it to be. We
have been promised more minute par
ticulsrs concerning this fne tract OF
country as coon Is the surveying party
returns. We doubt not that within the
next few years this heretofore unknown
section will present the appesrancs Of
of one the most thrifty little farming
communities to Be found on this north
west ccast.
