Gold Near Mount Adams.

For many years it has been known
| to few that placer mines existed in
the vicinity of Mt. Adams near the
headwaters of Lewis river. Every
summer parties have gone from The
Dalles, spent a week or SO at the
mines, aud came back saying they had
takhen an outing. These trips have
dat cd as far back as ten or even ff-
teen years bat nothing was thought
of the matter until quite recently.
About twenty years ago, Mr.. N.
Matthias lived in this city aud had bis
place of business east of the Umatilla
House. He was well fixed as regards
this world 3 goods, and made summer
trips to Mt. Adams, coming back NJ
ways in renewed health aud increased
wealth. Some years ago Mr. Matthias
left The Dalles, having sufficient mon
ey 10 satisfy him while sojourntng on
this mundane sphere, and nothing has
been heard of him since.
About two or three weeks ago, some
Indians hunting berries near Mt.
Adams found an abandoned cabin,
with full mining outfit in it. The
Indians brought some papers and let
ters out, leaving no doubt that the
cabin was the summer resort OF our
tailor, N. Matthias, and that this was
the place where he constantly replen
ished his boarded gold, and which
finally gave him competence for
life. As soon as this was known in
the vicinity of Trout Lake, where
there we're several persons camping,
the mining fever spread, and several
prospecting parties were headed In
Lha direction. Before our informant
left, TIE Chapman brothers, two
young men from Glenwood, Lad re.
turned Mt, Adams, having picked up
from the bed Of IA dry creek nuout 500
wort h of nuggets. ,LIying in size iron
81 to SO chunks, Hey say there IL
no water in the creek and tho pieces
of old can be gouged out of the creV-
ices in the rock with an ordinary
pocket knife.
Thtre can be no doubt that gold ex-
lists at he headwaters of Lewis river
in paying quantities, and t at this
has been known for years. Unuues-
aso ably thtre are other places equal Y

is too near home TO cause much OK
citement. If the same reports had
been circulated about some region
500 OF 1000 miles away, thoutandt
would have flooked there from lbt
Dalles before this time. Distance
lends enchantment to the view" il
gold mining, as well as everything
else.
Wo do not believe this mine will re
main a secret much longer. Ii there
is an Eldorado within 100 miles Of
The Dalles, our people should know 1t
and reap the benefits. The Matthias
cabin has been located, and the wealth
he dug out of the soil can be acquired
by others. This summer a party will
leave The Dalles or the scene of these
gold discoveries, and correct report
may be expected Chronicle.
