Commencing March aIst, the Northern

the present special cut rates. Such was
the announcement wired yesterday by
General Passenger Agent Charles S. Fee,
Of the Northern Pacific, to the local
agent, R. B. Hooper. A proportionate
reduction from the present taS rate ID
made for other points along the line oil
the road between the eastern and western
terminals. The text of Mr.. Fees mes
sage il follows:
Northern Pacific coast lines recently
announced a second class rate of {25 from
st. Paul and Duluth to North Pacific
coast points to encourage immigration.
The rate has attracted 50 much attention
that it has been determined by the
Northern Pacific railway to place all
portions of its line on an equally
favorable basis so as to hasten the sale Of
its lands and settlement of unoccupied
lands in all states through which its line
runs. Commencing March al and until
further notice second class tickets will be
sold from eastern terminals to any point
on the Northern Pacific railway west Of
Little Falls, Mimi, daily at one-half the
lowest first class rate"

our fruits on exhibition and he appre-
ciated their excsllences. and he said he
could satifry his incredibly no way ex-
cept to come and see such fruits on the

filed with wonder. He found fruits here
which grew to perfection on which the
government had spent Thousands In

He said this whole Lewiston valley should
be utilized as a government sxperimeu
garden. He. unhesitatingly, af.cr care

The Buffalo camp grows in interest
near home, and its fame is spreading to
all quarters Of the globe. There seems
to be no more doubt but it will be the
greatest camp in the world, within the
present year.
1t Is singular fact that this ledge had
been 'prospected" hundreds of times.
One of the oldest trails in the country
crosses Buffalo Hump and crossed this
very ledge where it stood up 4 conspicu.
Gus landmark of quartz.
The methods of the prospector Of q
few years ago were primitive. Great
progress has been made in quartz
mining in the immediate past.
The old school prospector used
pan and mortar and believed all the gold
could be saved by that process. When
he tested by this method piece Of quartz
and it did no show free gold he gave it
no farther thought. This test had been
applied a thousand times with only
showing Of small values which would
not justify development in a remote
mountain region. In the past three
years all prospectors have learned that
all values are not revealed by the simple
process Of pan and mortar. The dis
covery Of Buffalo may be said to have
come as consequence Of the dis
Summation Of knowledge that justified
the application Of other than the pan and
mortar tests.
When late last summer some poor
prospectors were passing over the Hump
they camped at the spring in the shadow
of this ledge where every mountaineer
in the north west has csmped at some
time in his career and they decided to
apply some FIRE and chemical tests to
the ore. The result was>fhe revelation
Of the greatest mineral deposit in the
world.
When the report Of these tests and the
results Of assays were made public q
couple Of hundred prospectors rushed to
the scene and made locati ons. About
two, hundred claims were located. The
lodges are the largest and the most
uniformerly rich that have ever been
known in any camp in the world. The
Buffalo group consisting Of three clsims
has been sold for 100000. Other claims
sold will bring the sum up to $4,000. 900.
Aud all this in the winter when an
ordinary mining camp would not have
attracted visitor. The snow fell to q
great depth before the value Of the claims
were established and it is fifteen feet
