4 SIR: | have the honor to submit
the accompanied copy Of report,
dated Oct. 1892, of Capt. Thomas
w. Symonds, Corps of Engineers,
of the preliminary examination of
Kootenai River, from Fry, Idaho,
to the international boundary line,
made to comply with the provis
ions Of the river and harbor act APP
proved July 10, 1892.
Capt. Symonds states that in his
opinion, the river is worthy of i'm
provement by the General Govern
ment, and submits an estimate of
$400 as the cost of survey of the
river to determine accurately the
number of snags which should be
removed He remarks, however
that
Gas new snags are constantly
| coming in and some Of the old ones
are being carried away now and
then, such a survey would not nee
essarily give correct idea Of the
work to be done at any time in the
future.
The Division Engineer agrees with
Capt. Symonds that The river is
worthy Of improvement, and in this
opinion ! concur.

Preliminary examination of Koot-

international boundary line.
, UNITED STATES ENGINEER OFFICE.
Portland, Oregon, Oct. II, 1892
GENERAL: | have the honor to sub
nit the following report of a prelim
mary examination Of the "Kootena
River from Fry, Idaho, to the inter
national boundary line" In my
opinion the Kootenai River from
Fry, Idaho, to the international
boundary line is worthy Of improve
ment by the General Government.
DESCRIPTION.
The Kootenai Rive rises in Brit
ish Columbia, in about latitude 81 ?
longitude 1902 1t flows in ;
southerly direction into the Stat,
of Montana, crossing the interna
tional boundary line in longitud,
1852. When the river reaches
latitude 48o pom it makes sharl
Nbend to the westward and north
westward, running into the State 0
Idaho and again crossing the inter
national boundary line, in longi
tude 116o 36m.
Just beyond the boundary line
empties into Kootenai Lake, a mag
niricent body of water about Z
long and four miles wide, and {
very great depth. From the mid
die of this lake an arm leads off t
the westward, and the river leave
this arm and flows a distance {
about 80 miles into the CoFumbi
River. The Kootenai is the chit
branch of the Columbia in the VI
ner portion of its cource. Tt
river from its headwaters to i
most southerly point in the Stat
Of Montana is ordinarily known {
the upper Kootenai, and consiC

the State Of Montana to what is
known as the town of Fry, or Bon
ner's, in Idaho, the river is said to
be unnavigable, being broken by
many rapids and falls and flowing
through deep mountain canyon.
From Bonner's or Fry, which
places are identical, northwardly to
the Kootenai Lake, the river
is stream exceptionally suited for
the purposes Of navigation, the wa
ter is very deep and the current
very slight. In this portion of its
course, the river runs through a
valley averaging about 4 miles wide
the bottom lands on each side, be
ing Of a very fertile character
My examination was limited to
that portion of the Kootenai River
northwardly to the boundary line.
At the town of Fry, which is prac-
tically the head Of navigation on
the lower Kootenai, the Great Nor
thern Railroad, in its course from
west to east, first reaches the river;
here connection is made with the
steamboats, for the fertile country
along the river, both on the Ameri-
can or Canadian sides, and for the
rich mining districts of the Kooten-
al and SLOGAN countries.
1t is now practically certain, that
the Kootenai and SLOGAN mining
district embace some of the richest
and most extensive deposits Of min
eral in the world, and their devel-
; opement will add to the Importance
Of the watery highways Of the Koot-
enai Lake and river.
Besides Fry, or Bonner's, the
principal towns on the river and
lake are: Nelson which is the ship
ping point for the Toad Mountain
, mines, and from which railroad is
being built to the westward, con
Meeting the navigable waters Of the
Kootenai Lake with the navigable
J waters Of the Columbia River; Kas-
10, which is the shipping point on
the lake for the SLOGAN mines;
Ainsworth, which is the shipping
} point for the hot springs mines,
and Pilot Bay, at which large
smelter is being erected for the re-
duction Of ores, tributary to the
lake. All these towns, except Fry.
are in British Columbia.
The Kootenai River freezes uI
each winter about the first of Janu-
airy, and remains closed until about
} the middle OF March. The lake it.
self never freezes. There are, or
lake and river, a number of steam
boats plying. Those of which
earned and saw were, first, the Mel
son, of about 312 tons buren,; tn,
! Spokane of about $50 tons burden
the Galena, Idaho, Surprise anC
, Alton, of smaller capacity thar
those first named.
The banks Of this portion Of the
: Kootenai are lined with large cot
tonwood trees, and the wash Of tn,
steamers and general river currents
! undermine the banks at differen
points and permit these large tree
a to slip in the river, where they il
e many instances form troublesom
! snags. Nothing has ever beer
e done toward improving the river
5 and the number Of these snags nov
p existent is very considerable.
