THE CGUk D'ALENE MINES.
A Very Favorable Account OF
the New FL Dorado.

Mr.. W. Y. PembertOn returned yesterday from
Eagle City where he has been attending court
iu that city during the past three or four weeks.
Mr. Pembertnn declares in the most emphatic
t. rms that the Coeur d'Alene country Is the
the Pacific slope. kec. nj decisions by the Judge
of the District Court, the first term Of which has
just closed there, have removed cloud which
has long hung over the place. Heretofore own.
ers of many Of the pri, cipal mines there have
been silent concerning the output of their
ella ms, aud have done but little work, from the
fact thatth ground was in litigation and they
didn't care about developing it not knowing but
it might pass in'o other hands through de-
cision of the court. And then again as the title
to their claims was in Dip tie, business men
were not inclined to extend credit to the claim
ants, aud hence doubt aud uncertainty. were
felt upon every hand. This is now all reno ed.
Claimants feel secure in the title to their ground
and the work Of development and extracting
the ecious metal has CONNER ced with re-
newt vigor and attended by the most .ncourag-
ing results.
The GU put of gold has largely encreased.
credit Is extended to claim owners who de,ire
it, more men ere be ng employed in the mines
ard a successful mining season is assured. Mr..
Pemberton says that wher. yer bedrock has been
struck gold III IA ing quantities is found with
out exception. very important fact r in the
prosperity of the country is the "tld channel
dig ing," di covered upon the mountain side
ab-v the creek Th-se diggings have been
traced for a distance of 25 miles and the
erouud located Men pack the DIRT in sacks
down to the creek and make goo wages every
day in their clean ups A ditch is being built
which will cov-r sll these old channel diggings,
When it is completed and the hydraulics get to
wolk the output of gold Mr.. Pembertun thinks
will be enormous.
B.drock has been reached upon but one
claim in Eagle creek-The Maggie 1t is % feet
10 the bedrock, and 3 feet of gravel yie ding 81
to The pan was found upon it. The SIDE gulch-
es all p vi 6 well where water can be OBJ
tuned But little is being done In developing
quartz Il des. The 'Nother Lode has
been stripped for distance of about
60 feet a. shows free gold in profusion.
Keeler & Co the owners of the famous "Wid
Qw's Claim will increase their working force
to seventy five men. Other companies will
also employ a larger number of men. kTown
property is not much IN demand. 1imher Is
p'enty water abundant all the facilities
for mining Al hand. Mr.. Pembert0n thinks the
cou try will not be wol ked out during the next
twenty five years.
