THE SNOQUALMIE DISTRICT.

TIE great watershed Of the Snoqualmie,
which embraces the whole northeastern
quarter OF King county, was among the
earliest districts into which explorers
went from Seattle. II was through the
Snoqualmts pass that the first tran was
cut by the early settlers n order 20 make
q way across the range TO Eastern WASH
ington, and over this route the hrst wagon
road was made. Naturally, after thus
opening the country, Seattle people pur-
sued their explorations in Il and the dis
coysry OF coal measures was followed by
that Of deposits OF Bessemer iron ore OF
great size and high quality. Then came
discoveries or ores carrying the precious
metals, together with lead and copper, and
the organization OF the Summit mining
district was the result. Mining has lam
guisned for some years, from the same

Figures which Tell Of the Great
Activity Prevalent In the

The surest indication OF the activity
which prevails IL mining throughout ire

IS to be found IN the amount or business
done by the two srnel1ers on Puget sound,
those OF the Tacoma Smelling and Rein

An impression often prevails among those
trclined TO carp that activity in the mil
Ing business does not necessarily imply
activity In the production of minerals;
but there is no gainsaytng the output OK e
smeiter, ard the business done by those
two shelters in the year 1856. during
which most OF the ores which they treat
ed came from the Sound country and the

OF the increased production OF the precl-
