Earnest Gordon, an ex-editor,
and one of ye old time prints, has
made some very rich strikes in the
Buffalo Hump and Summit Flat,
and Rabbit creek districts. Mr..
Gordon stopped Monday night on
his way to Spokane to negotiate
with some capilatist there, and will
at once return and begin the active
developement of his numerous
claims. Mr.. Gordon has been the
foreman Of. the ."Comstoek" mine,
of Dixie, and ranks high as prac-
tical prospector and miner.
He has abjured type sticking
and pencil pushing, and will devote
his time aid energies to assist in
developing the resources of this,
the richest mineral conntry in
America. Mr.. Gordon is confident
that the richness of the finds al
ready made will attract a vast num-
Der of people. to this region, and
interest many millions Of capital.
He says that it needs only to be
known to be convincing.

WARNING.

A warning to prospectofs and
all those who contemplate pros
pecting, or mining in the Buffalo
Hump, Summit Flat, Dixie or Bad.
ger mining regions, are cautioned
against attempting to go in before the
middle of April or the first of May.
AS the snow will range in depth
from fifteen and twenty feet, and
from this date ON the fall lie a wet
heavy snow that impedes travel
and renders the attempt dangerous.
Wait until the middle of April or
first of May and then you can hope
to prospect, but there will not be
bare ground before the middle of
May or the first Of June. some design
ing people, for purely selfish motives
are encouraging people to start in
now, but this is wrong and will re-
suit in much suffering.
Don't attempt to go now as there
are no accommodations, and no chance
for prospecting while tho snow is on.

The big steel bridge between
Lewiston, Idaho, and Concord,
(Vineland) Washington, is already
we'll advanced. On January 20 the
masonarY of the piers was about
one-third done, and many carloads
of the steel superstructur ewas on the
ground. This will connect the rich
est town, Lewiston, with the most
prosp erous rural community on the
Pacific Coast, that is Vineland.
The bridge being built to carry a
street railway, is 1900 feet long, and
will cost $4,000; 1t is owned by
the Vineland company, which is
investing nearly a half million dol

Engineer Kenney, with right-of-
way agent Hammill, made tour of
inspection into the interior during
the past week. They looked over
the proposed road by the way of
Big Canyon, and closely reviewed
another proposed extension that will
put this Toad better III line to reach
the Buffalo camp at an early date
than to go to Mount Idaho. The
Big Canyon grade is not altogether
satisf actory, and if the heavy traffic
to great mining center is to be
handled an earnest effort will be
made to secure a better route to the
interior beyond Camas Prairie.
The Northern Pacific railroad
will extend the Clearwater branch
up the south fork to the Buffalo
mining camp. This proposition has
been dependant upon the develop
ments in measure for the past three
months. The investment of 100000
by a great mining syndicate prac-
tlcally assures the future of the
camp and the destination of this
railroad is there by determined. The
extension to Buffalo will be feeder.
The main cutoff will follow the
Middlefork. The feeder to Buffalo
will consist of an extension of about
thirty miles. Lewiston Tribune
This does not sound like some of
the statements made by the "nnre-
liable" The Cottonwood route is
fixed fact and all of the lines that
are heading for the great gold and
copper fields of the Salmon, and
Snake, and to reacn these rich de-
posits the roads must go down the
most accessible grade, and the best
route is down the valleys that head
very near Cottonwood. This is un
doubtedly the course the roads will
take, as the Prairie can be drained
of all product and passenger traffic
