EDITOR REVIEW We have bad
visit of the beautiful TO the depth of
fourteen inches but building gees on
and foundations arc beiLg constantly
laid and town property constantly
changing hands.
Several new strikes in rich galena
along the lake shore nre reported,
aud as soon rs the snow melts under
the influence Of our warm snow
cutting chinook wind, the prospectors
will at once begin to examine the
many veins Of high aud low grade
galena that are now sealed under the
massive granite cover. An important
find close to tho city and the new
concentrator. will greatly add to the
wealth in mineral, of different grades
already discove ed in close proximity
to the grand mineral centre mining
city. Our regular snow prophets have
bee. trying tU impress us with tho
idea that stage communication with
Spokane Falls WAS now II thing Of the
pust. Alas how vain are hum n
snow prophets, n'inuture storm Wig
gins. To the great surprise of our
local weather prognosticators Misener's
stage, with four spanking, foaming
horses and the veteran swift, (,nd tho
way he made the turn up Main street
proved he upheld his nnme) handling
the ribbons, dashed into the city and
never drew rein until the pos,ofiice
was reached, followed by those who
were on the street. Misener made
good his promise to the citizens Of
Salmon City that he would come in
on time II he could ever yet over the
Columbia river.
The lime belt is showing up well
| and as soon as spring comes the many
mine owners now out OF the district
will flock in and commence opening
up the many prospects discovered late
last fall. Mineral Hill Is also showing
up we'll. Work is being pushed'to the
fore on the Thompson, Lake View,
Little Giant, Mayfower, the Miner
Boy with a. cross cut of Eighteen fec
and 10 hanging wall reached as yet.
| The Buck View, ON the same lode as
| the Sunrise mine, will soon commence
| to sink shaft ON their main vein. The
news from the adjacent mining dis
| tricts go to show that we are all Local
| ted in the centre of one vast mineral
belt and the coming summer will wit
ness such mineral dcyelopment IN
will place tins territory ffigh upon tho
list of mineral producing territo-
ries.
News from TIE gold belt was brought
in by james McGregor, alias Yellow
stone. MIR. McGregor reports ths
wea,her fine and wo k is being pushed
by several companies aud are eager
for spring tn open. The rock w free
milling gold quartz and runs very
high. The Pine Creek district will
find in Salmon City n supply depot.
Mill and sites for reduction works
are numerous, wood, water and every
| thing handy. A great rush is ex-
pecttd, AS Mr.. McGregor states he IL
heavily interested in the Yellowstone,
Maid of Erin and several other pros
poets all looking we'll.
| We are well aware that several in
fluential citizens OF Spokane Fails are
heavily interested in mines i'll and
ar und Salmon City and have secured
some splendid mining property which
indirectly must add to the wealth OF
| Spokane Falls. We hear you are TO
have boom this spring, we wish you
success as our boom is assured and
from date we are getting ready for
heavy mining companies to begin Op--
erutions and soon the bars Of bull
| lion will roll out.
Mr.. Chase has his livery stable full
and also reports II rather lively cx-
change of town property.
Everybody well III camp and pro.
visions plenty Everybody hopeful
and rushing around full of business
