ROAD TO THE SKAGiT MINES.

the IyTELLIGEsCEE that H. Brewster &

object of Brewster & Co in getting this

git mines. Such q road will Of course
Gc n toll road, and people will be
charged for going over it. In the ab-
scnce of public road, opened By the
county or Territory, it will be a very
desirable thing. AMI We rejoice in the
enterprise Of the Company named. We
hope and believe that thti. road will
pay thom well. The necessary expcn-
diturc will not be above twelve or IF
teen hrnlrcd dollars. and at five dollars
head tie thous md or two thousand
miners going over i. during the next
eight or ten months will make it an
investment to Brewster & Co. Of the

acter. Wha'com county could very
we'll afford unaidel TO open tho road,
u, could also the d.y Of Seattle, or the

as follows from an Olympia exchange:
Mr. J. s. Conner, Of Whatcom coun-
~. Informs us that about two thousand
dollars worth Of coarse gold WAS
brought down from the Skagit river
mines within tho past week. and that
tho miners are daily meeting with much
to encourage them. The great need
now in the way Of pushing forward the
work OF prospecting and developing
those gold fields is good trail adapted
to pack trains. Within a short time
evidences have come to light which dis
pei all doubts as to the existence Of
payirg diggings at various points along
the hcadwnters and upper tributaries Of
that river. We are decidedly Of the
opinion that our Legislature could not
more wisely appropriate u few Thousand
dollars than tor the purpose Of cutting
aud maintaining substantial trail from
the head If steamer navigation TO the
mines, There is time nJugh yet for a
bill to to introduced aud thoroughly
