the same. The petition sets forth
that an extensive and valuable mining
region has recently been discovered at
the headwaters of the Occur d 'Alene,
Idaho territory, to which large and
rapidly increasing population is now
tending; that the district is without
railroad and other transportation fa-
ciIities; that the most available route
by which the district can be reached
would be by a line from Spokane
Falls. Washington territory, easterly,
via the Occur d'Alene lake, and Spo-
kane and Occur d 'Alene valleys, with
branch lines to the several mining
districts. the length of which would
be about seventy five miles; that the
Occur d'Alene, Spokane, st. Joseph S
and st. Mary's rivers, and the Occur
d'Alene lake contain navigable waters
which could be used in connection
with arailroad, and that there is no
law in Idaho under which railroad
company can be incorporated.
