ROAD TO THE MINES.

With the frst good news from the
Skagit gold mines Seattle enterprise
must again as.er, i.self The easiest,
best ard most feasible route thither is
frcm Seattle by way of the Sksgit
river. Other routes, however, are
possible and very practicable; notably,
one 10 the direction of Wslla Wslls. If
the mine. pan oct rich this trade will
be well worth looking after, and the
route that is fret developed ard the
locality that is most enterprising, will
get and hold it. The way TO do this is
to open a road, start pack trains and
stock the market. Ten thousand dol
lars will 90 q long way toward doing
this, and that amount can be raised
here for such a purpose without trouble
whatever. Only lie. it be known that
the mines will pay, and that the ven-
ture will be O reasonably cafe one, and
we'll answ for the rest. A few more
days will decide these questions, and
the momen. their decision is definitely
known our merchants must be prepared
TO act. A plum Of this character, SO
near home, must no. be allowed to fall
to the share Of people elsewhere.
