their splendid properties to the
front.
GREATEST DEVELOPMENT.
The Blewett district easily
leads, not only all others in our
county but all in the state. Here
can still be found the placer
miner on Peshastin creek. Here
is seen the old crude Mexican
arrastra method, which consists
in placing the rich ore in round
troughs and dragging hard
rocks around over them and
here can be found regularly or
ganized stock companies, using
everything known to the science
of modern gold mining. The
Tip-Top Consolidated Mining
company was, at last reports,
going in on the base of the ledge
at Blewett on the opposite side
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1905-07-21

Last Monday evening our citi-
zens were given treat, which
those who were wise or fortunate
enough to attend will not soon
forget. We refer to the stere-
optican show and lecture on gold
mining, which was given by
Messrs. Rogers and Harris,
under the auspices of the Wash
ington Meteor Mining Company.
Our people Of course had an in
terest in nthisentertainment much
beyond its entertaining and edu-
cational value, which were very
high. Situated as we are, at
one of the termini of the stage
and mail route to Blewett, where
the property of the Washington
Meteor is located and being the
chief trading point of the great
mineral region in that section,

hold of Washington properties
and prospectors were rapidly
making new finds. But with the
discovery of gold in the far north
came a great change. We al
ways seek that which is beyond.
Distance lends enchantment to
the view" 1t has always been
SO. 1t probably always will.
And so our miners flocked to the
north, whilst leaving our own
known mineral possessions in
the hands Of the non scientific
miner, or, in many cases, others
totally incompetent.
OUR OWN FIELD.
Blewett rich as it is and well
managed as it has been in many
ways has suffered in common
with the rest of the state by the
stampede nor Inward of the ex

perienced miner. But Blewett at
least has proven its great money
producing value, for it is a fact
that more wealth has been taken
from those properties than has
been produced by any other
single Chelan county industry.
This fact is testified to by the
governmental geological reports
which show that over s., 900, 900
worth of gold ore has been taken
from this great mineral region.
OUR MINERAL FIELDS.
The mineral region contiguous
to Leavenworth, lies practically
all about this city. North, north
west, northeast, southeast and
south. In this field, ranging
from 45 miles one way to % the
other, is found rich gold and
copper deposits, whilst abund-
ant traces of silver, lead and
other metals are noted. There
are any number of claims held
by both residents and nOnresi-
dents of our county, on which
assessment work is being done
to hold them, but which, for lack
OF capital are not being brought
to the front. In the Red Noun
tain district, the North Star
Mining Company is actively
pushing operation, is shipping
in machinery and all indications
point a SPLENDID mining camp at
an early date. On Icycle river,
Frederick & Nelson, of Seattle,
have a large crew of men at
work, have long since passed
the "guess- work" stage and are
steadily and rapidly bringing

which will now come rapidly to
the front, it means much to our
citizens and to our community
to get a true conception of the
great possibilities which are now
ours and which can be retained
by US, if we will but rise to the
occasion.
HISTORICAL.
1t will be news to many of our
readers, especially new settlers
in this part of the country to
read that the first gold discover
ed in Washington was found on
Peshastin creek which flows
northward and empties into the
Wenatchee river at Peshastin
station, five miles east of this
city. The early miners return
ing from the Cariboo country
(Which is across the British
American line) in passing south
ward discovered and washed the
first Washington gold along the
shores of Peshastin creek. This
was in the early seventies and
from that time ever since more
or less gold mining, either in
placer or quartz, has been car
ried on in along that stream.
THE KLONDYKE INJURY.
Situated in the northwest cor
ner of the United States, while
we have been benefited com
mercially as has been no other
state, by the great Alaska gold
strikes, yet we have been equally
injured in the matter of our own
mineral developments. For,
just at that time, experienced
miners were beginning to take

of the canyon from the Wash
ington Meteor and was taking
out aich ore. This company is
operating on property, from
which over $4,000 has been
taken and has traced the true
lead on the surface in a south
westerly direction from their
present workings for about four
miles.
THE BIG COMPANY
of the district and of the state
however is the Washington
Meteor. This companys hold
ings adjoin that of the Tip-Top
on the north. Several compan-
les have in the past operated on
the properties now controlled
by the great Washington Meteor,
into whose hands they passed
last February. Since that time
the Meteor people have been
busy installing everything mod
ern known to the science, and ex-
pect to start up again in couple
of months in a manner and with
a production which will justify
their title of washington S

The End of Niaqara.

Harper's Weekly: In two thousand
five hundred years hence the discharge
of the Niagara will have become inter
mittent, ceasing at low stages of the
lake, and finally the Niagara river, on
the rising edge of the basin, will have
it's waters turned back and southwark.
and no water will flow over the Ma
CARA escarpment Of that day. Through
this agency alone Niagara Falls will
cease to exist long before the escarp-
ment has been worn away to the river
level at Grand Island, but as 1t is even
now iessening the volume Of water
poured over the falls the erosive power
Of the stream is diminishing, and we
must therefore, increase the period
necessary for the retreat Of the Cana
dian falls to the south n of Goat
Island, and the stealing of the waters
OF the American falls. Assuming the
continuity OF the forces named We
might outline the probable future life
and the death of the falls thus:
With progressive loss in water vol
ume the Canadian falls will reach the
south enc of Goat Island in from one
thousand to fifteen hundred years; the
death of the American falls. The flow
Of the waters will now have become
intermittent, and at first only by per-
iods of mean and high water in Lake
Erie, eventually at high water alone,
will there be any dis barge over the
escarpment. This will continue for a
period of from fifteen hundred TO two
thousand years. The entire flow to the
north will cease, and the river will run
back into Lake Erie, leaving the es-
carpment dry at a point not very far
south of Goat Island. and with a height
of about n hundred feet. This will
be thirty-fiye hundred years hence
the death of Niagara Falls.
