SUPPLIES FROM SEATTLE.
Enrerprising Firms Reaching Out TO
the Mining Camps.

tne MiHiHk AMPS
o. D. Colvtn returned yesterday from
Spokane and Trail ard Rossland, 3. c..
after an absence OF ten days. He re-
ports that whole section OF country ex-
periencing extreme hot and dry weather.
but rain which fell n Spokane Saturday
night was extensive enough 10 do al i'm
mense amount OF good When asked
about the mining excitement, he said:
you can scarcely hear anything but
mining talk. no matter where you go.
The interest shown is not abaging. but on
the contrary every one you talk With not
only has a prospect but Is making ar
rangements 10 either sink a shaft through
the black cap or drive a tunnel IN on the
ledge and develop mine. Since my first
trip 10 Rossland month ago an immense
amount OF work has been done. The
camp needs more shipping mines and
there viii certainly be twenty or thirty
shippers within the next sixty days.
New faces are constantly arriving
from all parts OF the globe. and without
exception they are well pleased al the
showing made towards a big mining
camp. Visitors so away saying nothing
but kind words for its future and gener-
ally back up their judgment by investing
some money.
''One hears a great deal abou. the Col
vile, the Boundary and the Methow dis
tricts and many practical men who have
visited the last mentioned camp predict
for that as great II not a greater future
than for Ross.and.
Spokane is bene1ltng very materially
from this mining country being developed
and her people are thoroughly alive 10 the
situation. Seattle Is also reaping sub
stantiai benefit. I saw several men repre-
sentlng Seattle wholesale houses and they
were not only taking large orders on this
this side Of the line bar in British Column
ha. competing with a duty as high as 50
and - per cent A Seattleite can see lots
OF familiar faces and without exception
I think all are doing well"
