Hon. J. L. ONDERDoNK returned to
Boise City last Sunday from Coeur
d'Alene and tells the Statesman that
he thinks the mines will prove good
and durable, though they will be OF
slow development, owing to the heavy
timbered character of the country.
There is a population of about two
thousand in the district now, which
may probably be increased during
the season. The boundary line ques-
ton was decided by the District
Court in favor of Shoshone county
which decision is probably hna
though there was some talk OF taking
an appeal. As the matter now stands
the greater portion of the area Gov
cred by the mines, including Eagle
City, is in Shoshone county.
