and dug them in February. He got
twenty sacks, which, with potatoes at

Jumping Chinese Placer CLAIMS in Pierce CITY.

Jumping Chimes L Placer CLAIMS in Pierce City.
Cnur d'Alene SUM-
Sheriff Cunningham has received a
letter from II. Hammond, Pierce city,
under date February 13, which states
that an effort had been made there by
two men from Mt. Idaho to jump the
placer claims owned by Cinnamon. The
men put notices on two water rights
and on one C aim belonging to China
men. and then left. stating that large
crowd would soon make their appear
ance TO jump the rest. Mr.. Hammond
says they will have a tough time carry
ing out their scheme, and that it is a
great injustice to take mans property
from him by force, after having legally
obtained and paid for it. The jumpers
are undoubtedly relocating these claims
under the impression that the Chinese
have not the legal power to hold them.
1t is feared that if the white men at
tempt to carry out their scheme fierce
fight will occur between the Chinese
and whites, and as the former are largely
in the majority the jumpers are liable to
get the worst of it. 1t is stated that
there is not mining claim around
Pierce city that half dozen white men
could go into,at the most favorable time,
and make 81 day over expenses, and
the most favorable time would not last
over two months, which would be en-
tirely too small to induce any one to do
u mean act.
Since the above was in type large
number of deeds and locations have
been placed on record in the recorders
Office, whid dh show that the white citi-
zens of Pierc city have taken hand
in the affair and propose to protect the
Cinnamon and their property by having
the claims transferred to them and
placed on record in their names. This
will virtually keep the jumpers from
carrying their scheme into effect,

The following is the report
of the delegation who visited
Spokane Falls to interview the
railroad magnates. It includes
also the demands Of the rail
road company as to right-of-
way, depot grounds and pay
ment Of the subsidy:
On the 18th, we, IA a body,
repaired to the private car,
Montana, occupied by the said
gentlemen and found them
ready and anxious to meet us.
We made our wants known to
these gentlemen, whereupon
they informed us that the
Northern Pacific would re-
quire the right Of way guaran-
teed, extending from the west
ern boundry of the reservation
down the Clearwater to Lewis
ton; also depot ground, and
when the road is completed
and in a condition to carry off
our produce, then they would
ask our subsidy, based on the
ten per cent. plan. Then, as
soon as we could procure said
right of way and depotgrounds,
require us to rotify them and
they would immediately
present the matter to the
Eastern management, and as
soon as they receive a favor
able report, would send their
engineers and locate the road
work to be begun as soon
thereafter as practicable, in
order to be completed by
January 1st, 1891, as far as
Lewiston and probably to the
mouth of Tammany. They
assured us also that next wear
they would extend the road on
up Tammany and in that event
would require the people of
that section to conform to the
same stipulations which bind
US, namely, right of way,
subsidy and depot grounds.
Mr.. Huson, during the con-
versation stated that if the
right of way was assured, the
generosity Of those giving SAID
right of way, would not be

of way over much the greater
portion of the route has been
secured, and depot grounds
will also be donated. A private

editor Tuesday, in which it is
stated that the subsidy now
reaches the sum of thirtv-six
thousand dollars ($36,OOO),
and that the Northern Pacific
officials have been advised to
that effect, and a reply is ex-
pected at any time. Mr.. Howe
