enjoys a first-class reputation. and it
Is said to be as good q bank as can be
found in New York city, so that 1t
must have been a difficult matter for
the governor to make up his mind. 1t
is not true that New York Security and
Trust company agreed to take 81 100000
of state capitol building fund war
rants. The company made no promise
directly or Indirectly. and no such re-
quest was ever made OF the company.
1t is also a mistake to state the trust
company cannot accept deposits. Its
deposits now exceed s10.000,00O. al
though 1t is q comparatively new tnsti-
tuition. / do not see how Mr.. Turner OF
Seattle could have done otherwise than
request the governor to do what he
did. Mr.. Gibbs, treasurer of the New
York Life and a trustee of the trust
company. is an old friend and school
mate of Mr.. Turner, and the relation
between the two men Is undoubtedly
cordial. / do not see how II could 9TH
erwise be. and a man who is not true
to his friends is certainly or not much
account in this world.
81 do not know anything about the
contracting firm that is spoken of in
the New York Times article"
All of this is taken to indicate that
Governor McGraw Is I'm with the gen.
tlemen who control the Eastern money
markets; IL he would make a deal OF
this kind as governor of state he
would not hesitate to misrepresent the
sentiment of a majority of the people
OF Washington on the silver question.
The Colville, Wash. correspondent of
the Spokesman-Review says: Prof. j.
Cobaugh and John Pohle have just re-
turned from a trip to Cedar Creek, six
miles east of Boundary City, where
they claim to have some very rich MIN
eral claims. The Cedar Creek camp
has attracted the attention OF mining
men for more than a year last past;
but owing TO the increasing attractions
in other localities. the vast deposits
there have been overlooked. Professor
Cobaugh Is an assayer and mining man
OF experience, and was largely instru-
mental in the early development of the
Hall mines, near Nelson, Il. C., which
he first brought into prominence. and
in which he at one time owned con-
siderable interest. He says that the
deposits of mineral on Cedar Creek are
truly surprising. The ore Is galeRa
and exists in large bodies. and the most
satisfactory thing of IL all Is that Ii Is
high grade, some of the assays rum
ming as high as 4S3 ounces or silver 70
the ton, the average being about 20
ounces to the ton in silver, and from
40 TO so per cent lead.
The Cedar Creek mining camp is at
tracing a great deal of attention now,
and there are many miners headed In
the direction of this rich district. The
ore lies in large bodies and assays run
to nearly 1900 to the ton. The aver
age of the ore, however. will run not
to exceed SIS and 500 to the ton. but
IL is chiefly a concentrating PROPOSE
ton, and the ore exists in large bodies.
The owners of the Opossum mine there
have nearly six feet of ore within 20
feet of the surface and will put in
- r
ing plant at once. The ore has to be
transported six miles, on a good road.
to the Spokane Falls a. Northern rail-
way at Boundary.
William Vaux, a well-known mining
man. has returned from a tour of in
spection of the Cleveland mining dis
trict. The mines there are looking
good, and the Cleveland still holds a
strong position among the ore produc-
ing properties in Stevens county. There
is large force of men employed on
the Cleveland, and owing TO the bad
state of the roads, the ore is being
piled up in the oresheds to await ship
ment over the Spokane Falls & North |
ern from Springdale.

his collar bone. Mr.. Mcmillan will be
laid up for some time, but IL is be-
lieved that the injury will not be per-
manent.

The correspondent OF the Spokes-
man-Review at Pasco. Wash. states
that the Columbia river is now IL or 10
feet above low water mark and still
gaining, though IL commenced to rise
earlier than usual and has been slowly
gaining in volume for weeks. yet no
one thinks OF IL being as high this year
as last June.
