Trappers who arrived in Ellens
burgh from Lake Chelan inform tht
Capital that prospectors have beer
prospecting the mountains along the
shores of the lake all summer anG
fall and have met with success, SC
much, in fact, as to induce them tc
put in the winter developing theil
prospects. The ore is similar in
character to the Salmon river ores
and the veins are quite extensive
carrying gold, silver and lead. The
trappers describe the lake as over
sixty miles in length and width from
one to four miles, surrounded by
rugged mountains, while the depth is
from 100 to 1000 feet, and abounds
with fine large silver trout from one
to two feet in length. There is
plenty of game, consisting of bear,
deer, elk, moose and wild goats. The
elevation of the lake above sea level
is 500 feet and the climate is mild,
with but slight snow fall. Ranchers
have taken up ranches at the lower
end of the lake and are making a
comfortable living. The trappers
describe the country as simply grand,
and IN time Lake Chelan will become
a great summer resort.
The waters of Puget Sound, the
Georgian gulf and Pacific ocean,
along its entire length to the Bebring
sea abound in an unlimited supply
of food fishes. Among the first of
these is the halibut, which as yet
has scarcely ever been disturbed in
its deep home At this moment ex-
perimental fishing is going on off
Cape Flattery and the Vancouver
coast by Seattle fishing schooners.
No effort has ever been made, until
quite recently, to- test the practicable +
lty of halibut fishing on the north
west coast. The time is ripe, however
and no doubt within another year
It's success will be assured. Two
schooners, the Mollie Adams, 1T
tons, and tho Edward L. Webster.
93 tons, are now due, having cleared
from Gloucester, Mass, for Seattle
some time ago. These vessels are
thoroughly equipped for their proposed
project of deep sea fishing in every
particular, and perhaps some details
will interest. They cary between
them seventeen boats. eighteen feet
long, to be used in the fishing bust
ness, five treeeh-loading rifles aud
shot guns and a large quantity of
mackerel seine, trawI
line and hooks, and numerous other
of fishing outfit. Each YES
sci is provided with three suits of
sails, spare booms and gaffs; rigging
of all kinds for halyards, etc, paint
and everything necessary to rig a
!essei; also provision to supply each
Iessel for one year. Among the out
it are boots, shoes, rubbers, dry
FOODS, hardware and other articles to
