Snow Ii Deep ON the Ground.
SPOKANE FALLS, March 6.-The an
nouncement from Washington City that
the Cnur d'Alene Indian reservation was
not thrown open by the passage Of the
bill, but that presidential proclamation
would have to be issued, fixing the date Of
the opening. has disappointed many. A
few of the more impulxive, who have been
waiting for months and know just where
they want TO go and how 10 get there, are
weary of delay, but many others who are
not as familiar with the reservation are
pleased with the delay, as the snow lies
deep in the mountains, and trip into the
wilderness just now is not desirable.
The land is chiefly valuable for its min
erals, timber and grazing. Along the Ceur
d'Alene and ST. Joe rivers a few good farm
ing claims are to be found, but these are
exceptions. Already two thriving towns
are built upon its borders-Cost Falls and
