AT ChLURlDE.
A visit to That Much Talked Of Camp.
A representative OF the REVIEW has
been sojourning for the past week in the
Chloride district. Leaving the town of
Hope on the staunch and fast sailing
steamer the Blue Bell, Robert Gray,
master, beautiful run of twenty-five
OF water in America, Lake Pend d'Oriille.
Away on to the east is Manalouse island,
where the Indians have buried their dead
for centuries, while in the west is Mineral
Point, with huge mountain range at
the back, and on which number OF good
prospects have been made, the most
notable Of which is Barnums, turning out
ore assayed from 40 to 700 ounces in silver.
After rounding high promontory we
come In sight Of Granite creek, up whose
banks number Of excellent prospects
have been made, but there are still miles
Of mountain range in this district not yet
proepected, stretching along the shores of
the lake and into the Chloride country.
After run OF two hours We are landed ut
Gold creek, more commonly known as
Gray's landing. at which point the Gray
Brothers have been burning lime and sup.
plying this part of the country for the
last eight years. They also have large
boarding house located here. Northwest
of this landing, away up on the mountain
side, and in full view, a very good loca.
tion has been made inside of week, the
groupings of which show up very
good.
PICTURESQUE VIEW.
Climbing up q steep mountain trail to q
plateau We reach the picturesque town site
OF Lakeview. From this point maRni6-
cent view of the lake is obtained, while
miles of mountain range, one following
the other, are spread out before the gaze,
making 1t one OF the grandest panoramic
views OF mountain scenery TO be obtained
anywhere. From here to Chloride you
follow the trail winding zigzag through
the mountains, rounding a high bluff and
again almost sliding down into deep ra-
vine where the mud is ankle deep, churned
over and over by the pack trains. the only
mode of transportation from the landing
to the camps where dreary silence reigns
supreme in the deep sloped, narrow can
yon, whose sides and bottom are strewn
with matted work OF partly burned and
dried fallen trees. broken only by the deep
toned ''jupe" of the driver which rever-
berates through the mountains with q
The next place of note is the town of
MARSHALL,
situated at the intersection of the Chloride
and Webber trails where, q month ago,
not the least sign of any activity was going
on; now 1t is all hustle. Here is heard
the woodman's AK as he fells the mighty
monarch of the forest, the carpenter with
hammer and saw, and the gang close by
erecting substantial log cabin, jestinR or
slnging, as happy as the day Is long. Ten
good cabins have been built here besides
two tents, and there are more cabins being
erected. Streams of clear, crystal water
course through all these gulches. which
are during the summer months literally
alive with speckled trout.
From Marshall, following the trail
through dense pine forest for mile, we
reat b the noted and hourishinR
TOWN OF CHLORIDE.
Five months ago trapper's tepee stood
on the band of the stream which courses
down through the gulch, in an almost i'm
penetrable pine forest, where now stands
the enterprlsinQ town of Chloride, with
200 we'll built and comfortable lox cabins
and population of 600 people. Here you
meet all classes of society-the Qrizzled
and weather beaten miner. the tenderfoot

housewife and the innocent prattle of chill

started out one morning to visit
THE PROSPECTS
in the immediate vicinity of Chloride, and
after weary tramp up the mountain side
over fallen timber and snow knee.ueep, we
reached the Jumbo. The surface had been
cleared of about six feet square, showing
excellent croppings. Adjoining it is the
Denver, which also shows very good.
Then comes the Eagle, the Cumberland
and White Cloud, owned by w. j. Shell
ton, w. J. Hawkins and George J. Peas,
all of which have q remar kable showing.
On the opposite side of the Rulch 10 the
Silver Safe. which shows S16l in silver
