A letter written by Lew" Munson,
one Of the Olympia boys on the prospect
ing expedition Ia the Samilkameen
mines. dated 10 miles from Granite
Greek. on the Goth ult., reports the
party well and in good spirits. They
performed the journey from Ellensburg
on foot, packing their animals with
ample supplies for prolonged existence
In the mountains. Some Of the days
experience, IL described rs "pretty
tough" but Of the kind which is doubt
less " nothing when you get used to it."
The party have not yet fairly begun
prospecting, but as an after-dinncr diver
sion. just before the letter was written,
had " washed pan OF dirt" and found a
few atoms Of gold, which they regard as
. very favorable showing Tor results
when they get down to hard-pan bust
ness. Lew" promises to keep his
friends informed Of the doings Of the
party.
Mr.. VIM. Reidt, who returned from q
visit 10 Coal Harbor few days ago,
gives an exceedingly discouraging report !
Of the prospects Of those who have been
drawn to that place by the big stories
circulated by spectators in terminal
property Of the Canadian Railway. He
says that the hope Of obtaining remunera-
tive wages has attracted many men
there who had barely the means for
reaching their destination, and are
now willing 10 work for their board
until they can devise some way for
returning to their homes. He was
told that bakery would pay well,
and sold out his established business |
here, % avail himself Of what he had |
been led TO believe was an opportunity |
Of life time. lie returns cured of the |
speculative fever, and says that Olym-
pia Is by far the best place he has yet
seen for lsboring man to make q livli-
hood. Such practical testimony as this
should iispel in some degree, at least the
spirit 81 discontent which stagnation of
business always produces.
