Rush to the Colo FIELDS.

Duluth, Feb. 28-Altholgh the ground
is covered deeply with snow and nothing
can I've done. for many weeks yet in the
way of prospecting, the rush for the gold
fields Of the Rainy lake district is daily
increasing, and it is nov a comparatively
easy trip to what many are convinced
is a new Eldorado as regular stage
lines have been started from Tower, on
the Vermillion range, and Mountain Iron
Oh the Mesaba range, both about the
same distance from Rainy lake. Already
Rainy Lake City has been laid ouc and
plated, and when spring opens building
ope rations will he rushed in the new
town. and docks are to be built aod
ware houses erected, and arrangements
have been perfected for starting news
paper, without which a new mining town
would be incomplete. and as strong
rival Of the Arizona Kicker we will have
tie Rainy Lake Herald. The first num-
Der will be issued next week. There is
no. doubt that valuable gold discoveries
have. been made on both sides of the
international boundary line on the lands
in the Rainy lake region and around the
Lake of the Woods. Geologically. the
district presents many interesting feat
ures, and to the student of geology no
better field can be found wherein to
PR secute his studies. The whole coun-
| try is scrubbed eff h. glacial action,
| leaving bare the solid rock formations.
IEls enables the prOspectOr to readily
frd the veins and to trace and prospect
til n at a slight cost, whereas in many OF
lie Western mining districts, and, i'll
fact, most Of them, the surface is COW
cred up with debris and the prospector
has to resort to tracing up foat and then
Gig and dig and take chances on finding
q vein after spending lot Of work and
Il oney. There is no such exhausting
work ahead of the prospector here. In
Rainy lake are innumerable islands on
which are found gold-bearing quartz
veins as we'll as on the mainland. At
present there are several camps ut work
en- the Canadian side and all are meet
ing with success. There are several
shafts down nearly 12O feet, and all
showing strong, we'll defined veins, and
there has not single instance been re-
ported where u vein was pinched out or
become barren.
