of the most promising prospects In the
district. il being a very large ledge forty
feet across aud the mineral is widening
as it goes down. They are running
tunnel IN on the ledge that would tap
this body OF mineral about 500 feet from
the surface. The owners also propose TO

several very promising prospects around
this mine.

Star and others.
Never In the history of this district
has there been as many employed under
pay and as much actual work being done.
Every one is active; every one hopetai.
One drawback of this district Is the need
OF first-ciass wagon road 10 the Column
bia river to enable the miners TO ship their
mineral out at a reduced cost and TO
help the settlers up the Methow get their
produce 20 market here at the mines. The
ranchers want to sell and the miners
want 10 buy their truck, but have no
wagon road TO haul 1t 10 us on.
Now, the citizens here have requested
me 10 make an appeal to the business
men and others at Spokane for aid 10
build this wagon road-Seattle has prom
lsed TO help US. Cannot Spokane do some
thing? We of Spokane feel that the trade
OF this promising district belongs to Spo-
kane and expect Spokane to help us.
Work Is now being done on this wagon
road and we need money now TO help pay
these men .or their work. VIII not
some interested parties at Spokane take
hold OF this matter and try TO raise us
money for this purpose? Any money
raised can be sent 10 Thomas Warren or
Lee Ives. at Neva postoffice, Wash.
The high water caused by the melting
SHOWS on the Cascades has made the
Methow river a raging torrent and wash
ed the new bridge at the mouth OF Ives
landing away. The bridge was only built
last year by Ives & Blacksmith. This is
very unfortunate for every one. The
water has been higher now than for two
years. Reports reached US that the new
hotel. also at Ives landing, was In great
danger This Is new building OF forty
rooms. The Columbia and Methow are
both above extreme high water mark.
