Mrs. Rachael Johns is now in the city,

Earth, and will be pleased to see all her
friends. She still bears up well under her

Judge S. w. Beall of Kalama has been
wrestling with the measles of late. His old
Vancouver friends are surprised that he did
not have the discretion to make that fight
in the fowery days of his youth.
James Jamison has purchased the Bat
tersby house on b street west, which he has
had raised above high water mark and
otherwise improved. Some one ought to get
hold of the wreck north of it, and raise that
up also.

CANYON CREEK MINERAL DISTRICT. 1t
has been known in Vancouver for some time
that pretty good mineral prospects were be-
ing developed on the headwaters of the
South fork of Lewis river by Messrs. Her
man, Cotton, Proebstel and others. On
Monday the party came in with samples of
ores, base bullion and buttons, which were
placed on exhibition during Tuesday at this
office. They were viewed by many old
miners aud Others, who expressed them
selves favorably towards the samples shown.
The parties engaged in the enterprise have
the utmost confidence in developing rich
quartz Mines and are forming a company
to proceed with opening the leads, of which
none but samples near the surface have been
so far smelted. We are informed that the
work will be vigorously prosecuted this sea-
son on leads already discovered.
