MINING OUTLOOK GOOD.
Col. Frederick Meissner Talks of the
Kettle Falls Country.

Col. Frederick Meissrer, of Seattle,
was in st. Paul yesterday. on his way
East on a business trip. He is a we'll
known Western mining expert and is
heavily interested in properties in the
Republic, Kootenai and BlackfOot dis
tricts, as we'll as in several paying prop
critics at Leadville, Col. In speaking of
the Republic gold country near Kettle
Falls in northern Washington, he said:
Prospects in the country north Of
Kettle Falls were never better. 1t IS safe
to say that not in the past twenty years
has there been a better mining outlook,
generally speaking. in the West than at
present, with the exception, of course,
of the Cripple Creek and Leadville booms.
The Republics properties are paying we'll
and several new deposits have been dis
covered. Mining men in Seattle and other
coast cities are of the opinion that the
Republic fields promise the best of any
west Of the rockies"
