that Captain Hart, Of the United States
engineering corps, has just sent to the
war department complete report Of the
government survey along the course Of
the Snake river. The survey was com.
pIeted several weeks ago, and the officials
here have been at work for some time
past on the report. The survey extended
from Lewiston to Riparia, along the
course Of the river distance Of y miles.
At the latter named point connection
was made with the survey made by Capt.
TAYLOR and party in 81, and with the
completion OF the recent report with its
maps, there Is on file In Washington, d.
c., matter descriptive Of the river for I38
miles Of its course. The department also
has definite information relative to the
shoals in this stretch. The engineers will
soon be ready to estimate as to the cost of
Improvement Of the waterway. The re.
cen, expedition was IN charge Of Frank
Gllhim and party of fifteen men. The
party was absent on the survey about
three months.

states having received very favorable re.
ports from number Of samples OF ore
sent on, for ASSAY. He left here about the
18th OF August In 1900 for the Greenhorn

rewarded by the discovery, early IN May,
ol what bids fair to become one OF the
great mines oi the northwest.
Up 10 the present bu, two claims have
been located on the discovery and they lie
parallel with each other, only a thin wall
dividing the veins, which are 10 feet IN
width, on each claim from that on the
other, thus making approximately one

traverses the claims their entire length.
