For q mining district, the Ceur
d'Alene region is a remarkably peaceable and
orderly place. There have been but two
drunken fights since paying dust was discov-
cred there. This may arise from the fact

the mines from the outlying towns are very
great. Owing to several parties having To-
Gated claims on the same ground, trouble is
expected when the mining season begins.

and that there is no danger OF its spreading
to other sections. The Commissioner accepts
the conclusion as final"
