Opinion Of an Experienced Mining Man on
the Prospects of Tnst Region.
A reporter of the Review met Mr..
James McCaw, u well.known mining man
who has travelled the mineral regions of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Cali
fornia, and spent last season in the Okla
hogan district and requested his opinion
OF the now famous Sail mon river country.
Mr.: McCaw said that during last summer
the time and visited nearly all OF the prin-
cipal mining properties, opened up in the
Salmon river country comprising Ruby,
Salmon, Toads Coolie and Wannacut
Lake districts, and his opinion was that
a. q prospective mining country this belt
from Lake Chean to the British line had
no equal in thetcountry. Mr.. Nc
Cav has charge of the Columbia mine
at Conconully which is very promising
property and upon which considerable
work has already been done. A shaft has
been sunk about q hundr d feet and shows
ore from the grass roots down of galena
carbonates. It is intended to do much
larger amount of work on the Columbia
the coming season. Mr.. McCav says.
speaking OF the country generally, that sil
it needs is capital and transportation IA.
cilities TO make it one of the greatest
mining districts In the world with an out
put of bullion that will equal the biggest
camps on the continent. Referring to
Spokane this gentleman said. ''she will
be as Denver is to tue mines of the Rocky
mountains. The wet ores from the Ceur
d'Alene and the dry ores of Indian river
will Hux and smelter here will control
the business of all the surrounding camps"
Mr.. McCaw leaves for y visit to Chloride

again to renew operations as soon as the
snow falls and he expects big things from
the developments on the Columbia mine

giving the advantage Of opening by tun-

ABUNDANCE OF WATER
and an inexhaustible supply of timber for
mining purposes.
As to the extent and permancy OF the
camp there IL every reason to believe that
1t will be very great The grade of ore is
undoubtedly very high. took some sam
Piles OF primary ore from the lower works
on the Weber claim that would yield not
less than $500 per ton and it
seems TO be the predominatine
ore. The veins are large true

will probably produce ore az far as the av.
erage workable silver mines, or modern
miDioR appliances will extract 1t.
The Importance OF this camp TO Spokane
Falls can hardly be estimated, but it prob.
ably will not be the least of its resources,
and Is evidence that the people Of Spokane
should bestir themselves and cultivate more
intimate acquaintance with their mineral
resources with view to securing the trade
of those camps and establishment of
smelters and reduction works for these
ores. H. w. H.

One of the anomalous features of the
civilization of this continent, and one pe.
cuiar to the Dominion of Canada as we'll
as the United States, is Mormonism. We
call Mormonism anomalous because there
is nothing in the organic laws OF either of
the two governments to legalize it, much
less TO tolerate it, and yet it exists.
The citizen of Victoria may not TAX.

by simply transferring himself to Salt Lake
and becoming convert to the Mormon
faith, there Is nothing to prevent him
from emulating Solomon. So far as the

have nothing to say. inasmuch as all ex-
perience goes to show that the quick

A Charleston correspondent writes: Be.

called upon by number OF young colored
republicans, representatives OF the party
which In this state is waging war against
the carpet-baaRer white element 10 the
party, The young men asked him TO say
something about the negro question In
politics. Ia reply General Malone advised
them not TO draw the color line too tightly,
as IT would drive of great many demo.
Gratis who would Otherwise be pscifed and
won over to new political organization
which would more evenly distribute party
and public patronage. He was equally az
plain, too, in advising them that the col.
ored element should act wisely and not be
imprudent or unnecessarily aggressive. IL
they pursued any other line OF conduct,
In his judgment 1t would be injudicious
and might prevent the coalition which he
looked forward to between the negroes
and the conservative whites in the Solid
South. General Malone was asked what
he thought about having colored man in
Harrison's cabinet.
II have heard" was the reply, that
the colored race desire representation ia
the cabinet, but they are too advanced In
asserting themselves in that particular.
such a step is not approved of by the re-.
publican party as whole. There are IA
natics who desire such q contamination,
but none other. In unity OF sentiment
with the larger and more liberal element
OF the republican party, do not approve
Of any such pretension. In fact, TO be can

surd to enter to any appreciable
degree into the discussion Of the political
situation. There will be no colored man
in Harrison's cabinet. The time for that
has not arrived. do not approve OF col.
ored men thrustin9 themselves forward as

ever correct 1t may be In theory. such can.

colored man is entitled to all the rights
that properly pertain to him, bnt his place
is not ut the extreme front yet.
