Tin Steady.
Again we are pleased to chronicle pm
aele price on silver-and lead very steady
and strong. All mining localities not
cursed with too much law are more than
usually prosperous. In the Cmur de
Alene where the blackmailer and legal
trickster most do thrive, we find the
Bunker Hill and sullivan. Tiger and
Sierra Nevada all closed and owners,
miners and community idle and nearly
discouraged. In Montana, where the
shotgun is used on these mining taredoes,
different state of things exists. In our
own Cascades the prospects are most fiat
tering. New discoveries OF splendid
smelling ores are almost daily discovered.
No mining camp in the remembrance OF
the writer has started with more latter
ing chances than the Cascades. These
mines are not low grade. The average OF
all the ore mined in the Cpur de Alenes
the last six months is about II per cent
lead and II ounces silver. The ore of the
Cascades is much higher In silver.
About $50 locations have been made in
an area OF ten miles square. The discov-
cry made by Mcintosh x Dotv of large
body of high grade ore is next to the Bos-
ton. the most important. Helena people
are interested with us in developing the
property. There is great demand now
/ for good miners and large figures can be
realized for partially developed PROF err
/ ties. We append a letter from George
Rouse. the pioneer of the Cascades:
"RousE. Skaglt County. Wash, Aug. .,

Everything here is going along lovely.

every day. will send you some OF to-
days find. The ore is out Of the Walear
mine. owned by Logan x Gage. Three

walls Ii looks higher grade than any
thing before found. This ledge is just
west of the summit. will send you some
of the ore. Over 100 mines now discov-
cred in this district. Yours respectfully,

The ore received by Mr.. Wardner was
assayed by Mr.. William II Fuller. the
well-known assayer. and the returns gave
the following result: Gold-Ounces per
