| 1nbEb WIS AAlOEG Lullo llAA vi Ahe
street lately than at any time since
Inst spIIng. Parties had Just arrived
from the silver bearing districts, and
the large crowd In the city which Is
usually the case Saturdays, discussed
late developments and caught the
fever while they talked. Mr.. Be-
moist, Prof. Reilley, and A. @. Ed
wards are just In from the Chewelah
district and report strikes In car
Donates that surpass all other iinds
in the upper country. The parties
brought In a large lot Of rock which
Is now on exhibition in the show
windows of the sales Tonms Oc-
cuplsd by the A. P. Hotaling COM
pany, IN Union block, and a great
many novices and experts have ex-
amined the specimens The new
strike WIS made during the present
week, and is located about 20 miles
north OF Embrey.. The ledge Is well
defined and the rock brought to town
Is pieces knocked of the cropping
with an axe. Ii l. pronounced by
hose who are familiar with silver
bearing rock, to be fne and rich. We
aw fine assays made from this ore,
the lowest running $3.50 ounces with
'ver thirty per cent Of lr d. Prof.
4 'illey, who hrs been In the camp
for mCnths, and who has made hun
lreds Of assays, pronounces this the
'ichest and must promising strike
let made. Ire miners are wild over
he discovery. Scor = uf people are
:Oing into the district, and we have
very reason to expect better finds
nan reported, but the boys owning
ct In the new diEgings are perfectly
itisfled with what they have. 1t
S.ttles the question as to the Perma.
iency OF the district, and lnsures 1t
eing one Of the greatest mineral
ections In the northwest. The time
ill come when the mines will be
Iorth thousands Of dollars, and will
producing Large quantities Of bull
ion.
On top Of the above find Gen. A.
,. Curry and a party that has been
5sent n couple Of weeks returned
is week with the most fatterIng re-
,rts Of finds In gold and silver quartz
de Just back Of Bald mountain, a
hi I peak northeast Of and plainly
Wis le from this city. The noun
ta does not look to be over hve
m - from here, yet It Is. at least
rnty. Gen. Curry prOsPected up
J." Little Spokane and found what
was looking for at a point fifteen
twenty miles beyond this noun
lin. The minernl bearing rSs-ls
ropped out Of the side Of the noun
,ins With frying-pan assay, the
most primitive mode Of working
uartE known, he was rewarded by
lobules Of silver and a great many
rlors Of gold. The men interested
With the general, as well as himself,
will not rest with what their rock
retends to be. They will have 1t
ssayed at once, and then work the
mines for all they are worth. The
new district has been named the
spokane district. Eight miners are
now at work en- the claims Gen.
'urry Is perfectly satisfied with the
prospects,. He has had years OF ex-
perience mining and Is competent TO
pronounce Judgement On ore. He
considers this find to be one Of the
hest that has been made in this upper |
The ledge he has struck IL
a continuation Of the formation now
worked at Embrey. The indications
are that the greater portion Of the |
rough part of Stevens county is a
vast bed Of mineral, and as attention |
Is called to the country old miners go |
In and uncover the lodges that have |
remsined hidden and unknown for |
years. The Spokane district opens
up with fiattering prospects. 1t Is
within easy reach Of this city, and
will contribute largely to the future |
Of the Falls. All the indications
point t. the existence Of a great
belt from Spokane Falls
noTtherly, up into BRUSH Columbia.
It Is to be the future great mining |
Aeld, and that at no distant day.
Once convince capital that the gold
and silver Is there and there will be |
no lack Of money to develop the
