The CGur dAlene country is strug-
Cling bravely to reach creditable posi-
ton as mineral camp. The thousands
who rushed to the country three years
ago and found surplus Of poverty and
scarcity of nuggets will be surprised to
hear that one of the mines near Murray
named the Gold Hunter and was pur-
chased by St. Paul parties. 1t is be-
lieved to be one of the most valuable
properties in the district and the rivalry
| of capitalists to secure it forced the price
up to a high notch. The Spokane Falls
Journal of late date, In an exhaustive
review of the country, reaches the con-
world" The ore taken out is OF high
grade and many of the ledges are
very extensive. The Hunter, the
Tiger and other mines are now
being worked protitably. The great
drawback, however, is the lack OF capital
and the cost of transportation The town
of Murray is growing steadily, and Ward
ner, u new camp. promises to lead all
others as it will be railroad terminus.
The country will not be thoroughly pros
pected for five years. The mountains are
steep and dangerous. Many of them rise
up at an angle of 45 degrees, and
others are so precipitous that they would
make black bird turn pale ut the pros
pect of climbing them. In some places
the SUBMITS are not more than few feet
wide and in treading the dangerous paths
along their tops the prospcctor can see on
either side an almost uninterrupted des
scent of 1000 or 4 900 feet. TO II great ex-
tent the mineral bearing ranges are GOV
cred with loose shale which conceals the
outcrop, and it is believed that many
blind ledges will be discovered by the
driving of tunnels The Dermanency of
the camps and the wealth of the district
is enthusiastically conceded by veteran
plospect0rs, and this fact will cheer the
hopeful miners of the Second infantry
now at Fort Omaha, who grub staked the
country in search of gold galore"
