Contrary to reports already pub
Hshed, the trail leading into the
CGur d'Alene mines is yet open to
travel. The snow is from foot and
half to two feet deep, but the con-
stant travel on the trail has kept the
snow well packed. On Saturday
last pack train Of sixteen horses,
loaded with provisions were well on
their way into the mines, and were
making good time. There are about
900 miners in the camp, and provis-
IONS are plentiful, although high
prices are demanded. Whisky, 2j
cenis a drink; -four, $50 and S25 per
barrel; bacon, 80 and 40 cents per
pound; coffee SIPS and Sl.5O per
pound. Board, without lodging,
Sl4 per week. Only one claim is
being work at present, the "widOw's
claim" and Is paying from $40 to
$50 Coarse gold to the man per day.
Mechanics Of all kinds better keep
out Of the mines until at least June.
The miners are putting up their own
cabins and hence there is no demand
for men at wages. Gold is found
from the grass roots to bedrock,
which lies at an average depth of
eight feet. Our informant was Off
cred 81. 400 for an unopened claim,
but the tender was promptly refused.
Hayes City is situated at a point
where Eagle creek bottom widens
out to a width Of five miles. There
are now six saloons, two general
merchandising stores, two hotels, a
blacksmith shop and several minor
establishments. The "mining
ground" so far discovered on Eagle
and Pritchard creeks, is about twen-
ty-two miles long by the width Of
the streams, which will average
about mile and a half. On Pritch-
ard creek, above the grBvel claims,
several well-deffned quartz ledges
have been found. A saw mill is
now in course Of construction at
Eagle Cityl the promoters Of the en-
terprise being residents of Cheney.
On Lake CGur dAlene large force
Of mechanics are engaged in setting
up two steamers, which are destined
for the passenger and freight trade
to the mines. The keels are laid
and the mechanics are now setting
up the knees. At Rathdrum the
snow is about fifteen inches deep and
still falling, while at the mines the
snow is twenty inches in depth.
The miners do not expect TO begin
operations until the last Of April.
