AN IMPORTANT MOVE,

Shall Spokane Falls Fight tho Northern
Pacific Before the Interstate Comm erce
Commission.
The committee of the Merchants Union
of this city has had under advisement the
subject matter of the appeal to the inter-
state commerce commission against the
unjust discrimination of the Northern Pa
ci6c railroad against this city and have
now prepared a CONF plete statement of their
case, under the advisement Of the Hon.
George Turner. The complaint was last
evening submitted in rough to the execu-
tive committee of the Merchants Union
and the board of trade committee on
freights, transportation and tariff, and it
was decided to prosecute the case with all
diligence and bring it to o final issue The
proper submission of the case will entail a
considerable expense and the committees
determined to make general appeal to
the merchants and citizens of Spokane
Falls for their cooperation in the fight.
Undoubtedly the community generally wi
heartily respond to the appeal which will
be made to them. Subscription lists will
be opened on Monday and the committee
will make point of calling on the citizens
as early in the week as possible.

The above brief extract ia taken from
the CBur d'Alene Record OF March 20, and
is but a slight aIlusion to what bids fair
to being one of the largest placer mining
enterprises on the face of the globe. 1t has
been pretty thoroughly demonstrated that
tons of placer gold lie hidden on the bed
rock and in the ground of an old channel
or ancient river bed that in past ages
flowed through that section, leaving it's
debris on what are now hills. ut u con-
siderable elevation above Prichard creek.
In times past since the existence of gold
was discovered in that part of the country,
many miners with rocker and small
amount of water. often obtained from the
melting snow. have taken out thousands
of dollars worth of the precious dust.
Many large nuggets have also been
found. But large amount of capital
was required to open up this placer terri.
tory and work it in q systematic
manner. For this purpose the Mill a
syndicate WAS formed, and it 10 composed
