MORE GOLD. From the present outlook
we are on the eve of gold excitement
hitherto unknown in this part of the coun-
try During tour of about two weeks in
the northern sections of the county, met
with many individuals on their way to and
from the scenes of the looked for Eldorado.
| | have conversed with several of them upon
the subject, and from what information
have been able to obtain, it is evident that
gold has been found in paying quantities at
various points, and that we live on the
verge OF ainera field that will ere long
rival the famous deposits of California and
Nevada. Mr. Kulrer, of Chelatchie vet
eran miner, and whose judgment few who
know him will be disposed to question, is
fnlly enlisted in the work, and relates some
interesting facts connected with his recent
travels in the mountains near the sources of
the east fork of Lewis river He informed
| me that he had come across several places
where mines had been worked some time in
the past. In one place he and his party
found sluces three miles in length, where
numerous buildings had rotted down. and
the stumps We're covered with moss. AT
another point he found fiat rock resem-
bling tombstone setting up by tree, evil
IDENTIFY placed there to mark the final rest
ing place of some one whose name will never
be known. Rich prospects have also been
found in Cowltz county on the north fork
of Lewis river, and are being opened as fast
as circumstances will permit. The noun
tains are filling with gold seekers, and it is
hard predicting what few months will re-

the mayor and the town, welcomed the new
craft to Vancouver and presented flag in
scrbed with the name she 10 to bear. After
happy speech by Mr.. Fletcher the flag was

pleased with the craft. The ferry will make
