The Mines.

1t is reported that rich new placers
have been struck forty five miles north
east Of Pritehard creek, which would
place the new diggings in Montana, at
the base of the Cabinet mountains and
fifteen miles east of the Northern Pa
cifc. The report, like great many
other rumors about the extent of the
Occur dAlenes. is very probably false
The summit of the Coeur d'Alene range,
where Pritchard creek has its source. is
the dividing line between Idaho and
Montana. Eagle City, in the forks of
Pritchard and Eagle creeks, is not more
than eighteen miles from the Montana
line, and no prospects have been found
on the Montana side up to date. Our
readers will do well to take all these al
legged reports of rich strikes in the camp
with pretty big piece of salt. It is inn
possible that prospecting can be carried
on at this season. The altitude of the
country forbidsit it. The snow is too deep
and the weather too severe, and the
very nature of the country, broken as it
is and densely timbered, gives the lie to
these reports of rich new strikes in the
dead of winter On Pritchard creek big
pay is realized in few places, and
enough has been taken out not only to
prove that the gold is there, but to en-
courage capital TO take hold and open
the deeper portions of the creek. For it
must be remembered that the creeks in
their length are deep and comparatively
fiat, which Will increase the cost and la
Dor of extracting the gold. Whether
gold exists on Eagle creek above the
forks nobody knows, for nobody has
prospeeted. With half dozen exeep-

The Philadelphia Cos v-1ume on
Warm Spring Creek has suffered con-
siderably from the effects of snow slides.
That portion lying under the steep
mountain between the springs and the
smelters has been destroyed by numer-
Gus slides, and it is safe TO place the
length of parts carried away at an ag-
grigate of 200 feet. The cost of con-
strueting this fiume exceeded that of
ordinary fumes, because it was bailt of
plank and extra strong and durable.
The damage however will not be very
great as the plank can in some instances
be again used.

TO the Editor Of the indianapolis Journals
allow no man Il, go before me in support of
morality and sobriaty. But let US view affairs
with sober Thought. There are fifty millions Of
people under our government and the most Of
them have different opinions on the subject of
Temperance. The Republican parity, now, as
always is fully up to and in harmony with the
ideas Of the age. This is the position for the
most effective work, The proper home for tenn
perance people is in the Republican party They
can accomplish more good for themselves and
the country by working with the party and the
party lines Of Republicsnism. Nine4tenths of
their voters, with an independent ticket would
come FROM the Republican party In a similar
case William Fl. Seward of New York, advised
his Abolition friends to work with their old party
And they lived long enough to realize the wis
dom Of his advice. The whisky element and the
Democrats are the same, as parties Should an
independents temperance ticket put the Demo-
crafts in power, they would realize thefelly Of an

THE GREELY RELIEF PARTY.
Possibilities and Probabilities of the Present
Expedition.

New York Sun.
The two advance vessels of the Greedy relief
expedition have probably reached Smith Sound
People who thought the expedition set out too
early forgot that William Baffn, who discovered
the sound in 1916, was near Littleton Island in
his fifty six ton ship before the end of June, and
that. sueh arctic authorities as Clements Mark
ham and DR. Kane believed that explorers should
readh the edge of the middle pack before the
.eloees0f May. The Greenland whalers have
often demonstrated that this great ice field in
Melville Bay. the only serious obstacle on the
way to Smith Sound, can be crossed in May or
early june by skirting along the shore ice
Nearly q month before Greedy sailed from St
Johns in 1881 fourteen whalers had passed Mel
vile Bay, and in 1873 Budington's Polaris party
were picked upip the bay by q whsIler three
weeks before the relief steamer sailed from
New York
1t is possible that Commander SchIey has be-
fore this learned the fate.of Greedy and his men,
if they reached Littleton Island. The chances,
however, are rather against Greely's having left
Discovery harbor. Successful sledge journeys
over long distances have never been made in the
fall by Smithss0und explorers Excellent
authorities, like Dr.. Bessels and Major Feilden,
believe that Greedy could not have made the
journey last fall. owing to the formidable nature
of Smith-sound ice and the advancing darkness.
ftFdoes not seem probable, either, that q party
Of men who have lived three years whore the
arctic night is 40 days long were well prepared
in April and May this year to battle with the
obstacles that woBe out Hayesis fresh sledgemen
in the spring of 1861, and limited them to an
adyanaesof three miles a day. Greedy will, in
al probability, have to be sought at Lady
Franklin bay.
The Thetis and the Bear have probably had
no difficulty inGommnnicating with Esguimanx,
who live along the Greenland coast, and who,
perhaps, have valuable information They can
always be found, i.r the spring, at Cape York,
and also seventy miles Further north, in Whale
sound, "a faxorite resort of the seal and hence
