are gold and silver mines in the mountains
northwest of the city. and not more than
seven miles distant from the city. This
would indicate that the country is very far
from being thoroughly prospected. The
weather being warm and pleasant has in
duced many of the prospectors to leave in
search of new mines, and to prospect fur
ther the claims discovered at the beginning
of the winter. This promises to be lively
summer for the claimants on the Swauk.
Localizer: The winter has been unusually
favorable tor stock in this county, although {
the grass was short when the winter COM
menced. The per centage of loss does not
exceed, we have been told, four per cent of
cattle. Most of the stock owners have
greatly reduced their herds of late years to
such numbers as they are prepared to care
for. There was lighter snowfall in the
valley this winter than has been witnessed ]
for twenty years. But the snow on the {
Cascade mountains west and northwest of j
us has been heavy.
