Emigrant rates over the Northern Pacific
to North Dakota have been somewhat re-
duced, Chicago to Jamestown S165O; round

still lower rate would be profitable.

ments regarding the area of placer ground
known to exist in the Ceur d'Alene mining
regions as correct, if it were subdivided in

the report from Washington that the senate
committee favor giving the north half of the
territory some other name than North Dako-

| The officials of the Northern Pacific who
have recently returned from Montana are
very enthusiastic in regard to the mining in
terests and the harvest the railroad will reap
in connection with them One of them
yesterday stated that the Ceur d'Alene re-
gion would be worth $4,000, 900 to the road
