Party to Penetrate the Bitter Roots TO
Find placcrs OF Untold Richness
Again an effort will be made to
locate the rich placer mines IN the
Bitter Root mountains Of which the
Nez Perce Indians have told so many
tales. The Spokane Spokesman Re
view in announcing the proposed
trip into that wild and almost i'm
passablc country, which has furnish
ed a grave for more than one white
prospcctor says. .--..
The proposed trip Of A. Mcleod,
his NeZ Pcrcc wife, and an old In
dian, Norman Of kamiah, into the
Bitter Roots to find the wonderful
placer mines from which it is said
certain members Of the Ncz Perce
tribe annually take gold nuggets Of
marvellous size recalls the former un-
successful ventures of white men in
to the Wilds Of these mountains in
search Of the gold fields. That a
placer district-marvelously rich and
probably similar to old Florence and
Piercc-cXists somewhere not far
from the 10 Lo trail is believed by
those who have Investigated the
matter. 1t cannot be altogether a
wild tale, it is said, since old Nor
man has in his possession large mug
gets which came from the mine,
while other NcZ Pcrcc Indians Of the
older generation arc known annually
to make pilgrimages into the Bitter
Roots, ostensibly to hunt the big
game abounding in the wilds, but in
reality to bring gold from the m1nc.
One oldIndian at Kimiah has $50, 900
in the bank-lcss than what he lost
IN the Moscow failure--which he has
accumulated by series Of visits tc
the Bitter Roots. ~
AS above stated many unsuccessful
trips have been made by white men
to locate this mineral wonderland.
Several years ago the George Amber
son party attempted to penetrate tc
that district, through the St, Marias
country, from Rosalia, Whitman
county, Wash. Later party under
the leadership Of Frederick Saunders
left Pennington, WASH, to enter the
Bitter Roots by the way Of St.
Marias, but the country was toe
rugged. Another party from Colfax,
WASH, attempted to go southeast
from Florence, Idaho, but the under
taking was finally abandoned. Again.
at Il later date, sold Buckskin," az
Old sQuawman Of Spokane was. close
ly followed while making his annua
visit to the placer district by a white
party, but the latter was given tbt
slip in the mountains and lost thu
trail. sold Buckskin" is "a Wellknowr
character. and it is firmly believed
that tho rich placer which he ycarl,
visits is the same that old Norman
has agreed to pilot Mcleod and hi
Indian wife to.
1t has leaked out here that part,
has been organized to secretly fol
low the Mcleod party. Mr.. Mcleod
says that in case his party was fol
lowed, old Norman, who is very sus
picious, will lead them merry chas
through the mountains, and at th
proper time and place eludc them
Mrs. Mcleod is a relative Of olt
/ Norman, and in return for care which
she is to give to his children he pilot
the McLcuds to the mine.

To the Mothers.

Nearly all of our school buildings have
excellent desks. but many lack black
board space. On both sides and in front
all the space between the windows and
doors should be used for blackboard. A
very good board, and not expensive can
be made OF plastering mixed with cement
instead Of lime, and then coated with
liquid stating. To give a firm backing,
the walls should be ceiled before lathing.
believe there is no other way in which
a few dollars can be so probably ex-
pended as in providing sufficient black
board. The better the teacher the more
space will be needed. During the com,
ing winter | hope no school will fail TO
do its best work for lack of blackboard.
A GOOD school pays a LARGE dividend.

Millions In It.

Seattle, WASH, July 2O.-C. B. Nc
Intosh, governor of the Northwest ter
ritory, in which is included the. far
famed Klondyke district, is in Seattle.
The governor freely subscribes to the
truthfulness of the stories sent out as
to the richness of the new diggings.
He estimates that the Klondyke and
its tributaries yielded over $4,000, 900
in gold last winter. OF this amount
he says $4,000, 900 and upwards came
via the steamships Portland and Ex-
celsior. More than a million dollars
in dust, he says, is now stored away
in the cabins of miners along the
creek being developed.
'The British Yukon yield of gold
for 1897" the governor resumed, Twill
not be less than $40, 900, ,O0O."
He says the surveyors are now at
work trying to ascertain the feasibili-
ty of construction of railroad into
the Yukon. One route contemplates a
line of steamers from Fort Wrangle
up the Styken river.

"A gold andard has the ad.

"a gold stan dard has the ad-
vantage of making prices steadi-
er, for. as compared with silver,
gold is more staple in value, and
if tho standard of value is steady,
prices as measured by the stand
ard must also be steady. Rising
prices make markets active for
a time, but will soon effect the
material and wages, injure the
productive power of the country,
and tend to decrease exports;
while suddenly falling prices
cause losses to the commercial
and economic world. Then it is
best that prices do not fuctuate
violently, but it is impossible to
avoid such fluctuations with q
silver standard, and the only
remedy is to be found in a gold
standard. Secondly, a gold
standard will tend to increase ex-
ports. for, while it makes COM

countries adopting a similar

Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease has de-
cided to be q candidate for gov
ernor, and to seek q nomination
on the populist ticket, which
leads the Minneapolis Tribune to
remark: "Mrs. Lease is one of
the ablest populists in Kansas, if
not the very ablest, and there is
nothing in the constitution or
laws of the state to prevent her
from being governor. Great
Britain has been rnled by a
woman for 60 years. Kansas
might be a good deal better off
with a woman in the executive
chair than she has been for sew
eral years past with the kind Of
males who have occupied that
position. -

cZAR REED.

Washington, July 2o:-Telegrams
are pouring in upon Speaker Reed
from every section of the country to-
day congratulating him upon the ex-
peditious manner in which he disposed
of the tariff bill and upon "his victo-
ry over the sugar trust.'' While the
democratic organs are vigorously de-
nouncing the sugar schedule agreed
upon by the conferees of the two
houses and calling it a victory for the
trust, it is conceded by fair minded
people that Speaker Reed has clipped
the claws of this monopoly as far as
it is possible to do at present. Reed
stock has taken big rise within the
past two weeks.

State Treasurer Nichols has
fled his semi-annual statement
of the states finances for the
period ending June 80, 1897, with
the governor. The balance on
hand December 81, 1896, was
1882, 1911. The receipts since
then include the sum of $180,000
from the sale of funding war
rants for state current and legis-
lative expenses, and the total
disbursements have been $623,
763. 80, and cash on hand in some
% different state and national
banks is 1863, $3.50. The gen.
eral fund was not overdrawn.
but it had a very small balance
$42.O9.-Alert.
The Alert should have given
the balance left by Populist State
Treasurer Nomland-the com
parison would have been good
reading for the taxpayers. The
balance then was on the other
side of The ledger.

Despite the enormous inn
portations of manufactured
goods, the manufacturers of the
country are showing an i'm
proved business condition. Re-
ports from various sections
show an increase in the number
of hands employed and hours oc-
cupied. Reports from Dun's
Review covering the failures for
the month of June show that the
failures among the manufacture
ers were only 238 against 284 in
June of last year, while the liza
bilities were only $6, 1865, ,O10
against Sc, 2O9, ,984 in June of last
year, and $12, 1856, 4O8 in June,
1895.
