CLAIMS ON THE GOAT RIVER
A Condensed Description of the Gold
and Silver Fields to the North
of Bonner's Ferry.


tention, is the SLOGAN district. 1t
takes its name from that of the
lake, which is located about twenty
five miles west of the Kootenai
Lake. This district, although only
discovered last October, has become
famous throughout the entire coast.
From Kaslo City on the Kootenai
Lake, at the mouth of Kaslo Greek,
to the SLOGAN Lake, a distance of
about twenty-five miles, it is one
belt of rich mines, with the great
est surface indications ever yet dis
covered. The first group of mines
west of Kaslo City are situated on
the north fork of Kaslo Greek, and
are known as the Jardine group,
owned by A. Jardine & Co. There
are also quite number of other
promising locations in that vicin-
ity. About five miles further west
comes the Brennan group, consist
ting of six valuable claims. Cross
ing the divide from Kaslo Greek is
Carpenter Greek. Next comes the
Prairie group and the Washington
group; also the SLOGAN Star group,
consisting Of five claims, owned by
Charles Chambers & Co.; the No
BILE Five, owned by Hennessey
Bros; the Great Western, by
Thomas McGovern and William
Franklin; the Sadie, by Seattle
parties; the Ruby Silver, which
has just been bonded for 100000;
the Chambers, which is said to be
over 100 feet in width at the base
and to project IS feet above the
surface.
Prominent among many other
claims and locations in this dis
trict is the Evans and Montezuma
groups, consisting of a number of
high grade galena veins of unusual
size and extent.
With all these. vast mineral de-
posits, and with the best of rail
road and water communication
from Bonner's Ferry to within a
few miles of the mines, SLOGAN will
be numbered among the great and
prosperous mining camps at an
early date.
The East Kootenai mining dis
trict, beginning at Bonner's Ferry
and extending up the river into
the western part of Montana, is one
continuous chain Of mining camps.
In the Moyea district, eight miles
east of Bonner's Ferry, are num-
Der of valuable locations which
will be developed during the COM
ing summer.
In the Boulder mining district,
few miles from the mouth of
Boulder Greek, are the famous Eu-
reka and Homestake lodes, the
property of the Boulder Greek
Mining Company, who have had a
large force of men at work for
many months driving tunnels and
sinking shafts; also the Keller lode,
which has been quite extensively
developed, a tunnel of 100 feet
having been driven on it and the
ledge has been uncovered for $50
feet, showing an immense body of
galena ore. There are many other
valuable claims in this district.
Several were bonded last fall, and
the owners have kept force of
men at work on them all winter.
1t has every indication of being a
lively camp during the summer.

Marcos Moving to the North.

We DO not suppose that the report is true
that large numbers of negroes are leaving
the Chattanooga section of Tennessee IN
search Of work and homes IN the northern
and northwestern States. The negroes
have been free to 60 whittier they would
ever since the war between the States
ended; but they have shown no DISPOSE,
ton TO remove from the South to the
North. Thousands Of them have gone
from Virginia TO New York city and other
places, but many OF these thousands
have returned TO their old homes de-
spite the tact that they were paid much
higher wages in the northern cities than
in the southern. Virginia negroes soon
become dissatisfied amongst the northern
strangers. and long for the old folks at
home" They are not accustomed to beng
treated with silent contempt. We do not
mean that anything is done by the north
ern people which they intend TO be indica-
tive Of contempt on their part for the
negroes. but that the northern people
never take the negroes living among them
into their thoughts.
The Richmond negroes, for example.
have splendid public schools, fine
churches, good dwelling houses, and what
ever else they need. How could they be
expected TO be satisfied in New York city
They have also ali sorts Of secret societies,
building associations. and such like things.
They have associates In abundance. How
can they be expected TO give up all these
things to become in New York nonentities
everywhere They call themselves "YIr-
ginians." and feel proud to be able TO claim
that name.
The Tennessee negroes are like the Vir-
einia negroes. "Seven hundred" of them
may have left Chattanooga at ono time
during the past month, as stated. bat
"seven hundred" will soon como back.
Moreover. the natural increase of the
negro population is greater in proportion
where there are only few OF them than
where there are many of them. This is
true more particularly in the South.
II would soon solve the negro problem
for them to DO distributed eonally over

Shall Wa Write History 2

Professor J. b. HENSEMAN's paper, IN the
Hampton idney.Md7dzine, entitled shail
yirginians Write Vrginian History has
been reprinted In pamphlet form, and we
trust will have wide circulation.
The Professor IS as practical as he IS
learned (bis scholarly rank Il very high)'
and the object OF bis paper IL TO incite our
people 10 collect and publish historical
material relating TO families, manors'
parishes. boroughs, colleges. towns cities
and counties. &C., &c. He gives good al
vice as to how Investigations may De
made best, and suggests 4 number OF sub
lects which would repay the historical
inquirer.
Professor HEysEMAS says that he can re-
call but one county in Virginia-Augusta-
that has had its history written. Slngu-
larly enough. as he observes, that has TWO
histories. lie mentions also as remarka-
HE fact that some of the most valuable
work that has been done in the way OF pre-
serving historical data of Virginia was by
men who werenot natives of this Common
wealth.
The Professor might have added that the
preat CITY OF Richmond has never bad her
history written; a history which would IN

ment of the English in America; stirring

Tho Risn in Cotton.

The present price of cotton IS very en-
4coureging to the southern planters, al
though this years crop is far below the
average yield.
We trust that it las come to stay and 70
20 M higher, and that it is not the mere
result of speculation.
Cotton-planters have been in i'll luck Tor
many years. Their produce has been sold
at Liverpool in competition with the cheap
labor produce OF India and Egypt. while
all the goods that they have had to buy
mad 10 be bought in protected market.
Under the new order OF things we hope
that they will get fair price for their cot
ton and that their purchases may be made
at lower rates than heretofore.
Virginia - not much of a cotton-pro-
ducing State, but Richmond has O large
trade with the Carolinas and Georgia. and
therefore has a direct interest in the well
fare OF those communities: but indepen-
dent Of any selfish interests of ours, we
wish to see our southern neighbors pros
porous and happy, because they well de-
serve to be.

Gen. Weaver and the New Cure ncv
The Thrd-party men are rather encour-
aoed than discouraged by the results or
the recent elections. They exult IN the
hope which b1ightens their pathway be-
cause of their success in few States, and
make extravaCant predictions "a to what
they will do four years hence. Neverthe-
less. though they are Silverites, they have
not taken up with the proposition to dena-
tionalize the paper currency OF the coun-
try. General WEAVER said on this point III
his recent speech:
"One of the most valuable results OF the late
civil war-that Of uniform legal-tender cur
rency issued by the goyernment-is TO be sacri-
feed and abandoned and serious attempts VIII
be made TO force he people 20 return TO the
fraudulent system o. State-bGnk issues which
existed prior 70 the war, and which periodically
swindled the industrial classes OF the fruits OF
their toll. This is 10 be sprung upon the people
by a sudden stroke Of policy by leaders who have
carefully X opt their motive concealed IRON the
public. The crime is TO be enacted into law De-
tween elections and before the people can have
time TO pass upon the question by the selection
Of representatives chosen for the purpose
But "the crime cannot be enacted into
law so long as Mr.. CLEVELAND occupies the
Executive chair-that is. supposlng the
enactment Is to be done by Congress
General WEAVER knows that the " iraudu-
lent system Of State bank issues" IS eX-
peoted TO be adopted. if ct all. by the seve-
raj State legislatures. lie probably got
his subjects mixed, and had in his mind
the proposition to do away with the Fede-
raj tax upon State-bGnk issues. But SIR.
CLEVELAND would no doubt veto bill for
the free coinage Of silver, and ldproba-
bly, discourage the Democrats III Congress
from denationalzing the currency. 1t is
worthy of remark that the Weaverites
threaten to unite with the Republicans
on this latter proposition. They fused
with the Democrats IN the States which
they carried on the 8th instant, but now
range themselves along with the Republi-
cans rather than with the Democrats.
