The tide of pilgrims continues to flow
into the country in an almost unbroken
stream. Quite a number, mostly from
Missouri, passed through the city during
the week.
Last week considerable excitement was
caused in this city by the announcement
that an immense lode of gold-bearing ore
had been discoveredabout the head OF A!tlcr
creek, which is believed by the finders to
be the mine from which the greater part of
the gold in the gu!ch first came. The mine
is variOusly stated to be from forty to sixty
feet in width, and il It proves to be ''the
father of Alder gillch," some extensive OPP
erations may be looked for in the vicinity.
We hope that developments will prove the
new discovery to be all that ''flncy paints
it, Several parties from town have al
ready staked ''eXtcnsions'' on the lode,
and there are more prospective millionaires
around now than can be counted on a
mans fingers. The progress of the work
of opening the mines will be watched with
great interest.
