Mr.. n. d. Miller, chief engineer
of the Bonner's Ferry branch rail
way, was in Bonner's Ferry on
Thursday. Mr.. Miller informed
the HERALD that the survey had
been completed and that the esti-
mates had gone in to the capitalists
who are backing the enterprise, and
that it would be three weeks yet
before a decision would be reached
as to whether the line would be
built this year. Mr.. Alexander,
who is one of the promoters,
returned from London on Wednes-
day and is understood to believe
that the matter will receive favor
able consideration. The promoters
have never said that the line would
be built this year and, therefore,
the whole business remains in as
much uncertainty as ever. But if
the road is built construction work
will not long delay, as it would be
the purpose to have the branch in
operation before navigation closes.

Rich Strike Reported on Goat River
Near Port Hill.

News comes of rich strike on
Goat River, bout seven miles from
Port Hill. The lucky discoverer is
J. e. Profit, formerly of Bonner's
Ferry. He has uncovered rein of
ore in the locality named which as
sayed $17S5. 40 in gold and silver,
from a sample sent to G. e. De-
Forrest, the assayer at Denver.
The ledge is described as being
about two feet wide on the surface,
where the samples were procured,
and crops out tor several hundred
feet. OF course only prospect work
has been done, on the lead, and
little is know of the ore body, but
the assay is certainly sumner.
The rock assayed as follows gold,
$43S 40; silver, $17S5.OO; total,
$l7S5.4O.
Mr.. n. d, Miller, the chief engi-
neer o. The proposed railway down
the valley from Bonner's Ferry,
informs us that he witnessed a
mortar test of the rock and saw a
nice string of colors obtained.

confirmation of the strike. He has
recently been on the ground and
had previously located ground
near by.
There has been quite stamped
for the discovery from Port Hill.
Col. w. NJ. Waters came in
from Round Praire Friday with a
hundred pounds of ore samples
which he was sending out for a
test. The colonel claims to have
made valuable strike lately but
refused to disclose its exact location,
but he is predicting a great out
come to the country located be-
tween Bonner's Ferry and the
British and Montana line.
