Informed on the condition OF things IN the
new districts.
The present great excitement is in th9a
Boundary creek and SLOGAN districts. thu
latter being about loo miles north OF the
British Columbia line. Then there IS the
"A sssfar flas.r

substantial evidences OF the prosperity. /
would like 10 suggest trip for a summers
outing from Seattle that would prove
vastly interesting 10 persons who are
thinking al al OF the mines.
For instance. go 10 Vancouver and
then take the Canadian Pacific TO Revel-
stoke. From Reyelstoke 20 TO Arrow
head. at the upper end OF Arrow lake.
where connections can be made with the
fine new steamers OF the Columbia and
Kootenai Navigation Company for Ma
kusp and then 10 Sandon. In the heart OF
the SLOGAN country. The return Is via Ma
kusp down the Columbia TO Trail. the
new smelter town. and thence by rail- over
tins narrow gauge TO Rossland. which. by
the way Is one OF the most beautiful min
Ing camps In the world. After locking at
the interesting sights about Rossland a
fifteen mile stage ride brings one 70 North
port in Washington. From Northport one
takes the Spokane & Northern TO Spokane
and the return TO Seattle from there is
made by either the Northern Pacific or
the Great Northern railroad.
THE accomm odations all along the line
OF travel that / have mapped out are irst
class. and I can't imagine a pleasanter
trip that might be taken In the way OF OBJ

"All OF the state is hound 10 l15ht by the
mining development, and particularly
those portions adjacent TO Spokane. which
are naturally tributary TO IT,"
