IMPORTANT PROJECT.
Estimates on the Upper Boat
Enterprise.

The announcement OF the organiza-
tion OF a company with capital of
100000 for the purpose OF establish
ing steamboat service batween Lew
iston and the upper Snake river min
ing region attracted comment in all
circles in the city yesterday. The
development is looked ,upon as one OF
vast Importance to Lewiston and the
entire region lying contiguous to the
Snake river. While the primary OBJ
jet OF the company is understood to
be to provide such transportation fac
ilities as will enable the development
and operation OF the copper mines OF
that district, it is also understood
that the promoters realize the i'm
mense business that will ultimately
be attracted tc the boat line from the
rich stock, farming and fruit localities
that are now isolated from market.
For many years it has been realized
that the copper showings of the Snake
river country are not surpassed by
those OF any district in the west. but
the great expense met in development
work has dISco-;a ed mining carital
from entering the region. While
located on a navigable waterway. the
absence Of a boat line has made the
district one OF the most inaccessible
IN the entire west. With Il boat sci
vice reaching the tunnel sites of the
important properties, the district will
afford facilities for economical opera
tion not found in any district OF Il e
west. This fact illustrates the in
tiuence that the upper river boat will
exert on the mining industry of that
region and mining men acquainted
with the situation unhesitatinglv ex.
press the view that big boom is sme
to follow the Inauguration OF the
transportation service.
1t Is believed that within one wear
after the establishment OF the boat
line, all the business OF the eastern
section of the Wallowa and Grande
Ronde countries, the immense terri |
tory lying between the Salmon river
and Snake river, and the region living |
west OF the Salmon river embracing
many OF the important mining dis
trlcts OF Idaho county, will be handled
by the river route. At present the
wool. and stock shipments Of the
country are made from
EIgin, necessitating in instances that
the wool be hauled seventy miles over
rough roads. The region between tbe
Snake and Salmon river, is now en-.
tlrely isolated from market. as only
tails penetrate the country. This
section which embraces miles and
miles OF rich agricultural lands is now
reached from sites by crossing the
Camas prairie and thence entering the I
; 'Imon river basin. The lands arc
