THE OLD NEz PIERCE TRAIL.

l.
On another page in this issue of the
Mining News is an article on the old
Nez Perze trail, the old prairie schooner
route connecting the country east of
the mountains and that west of the
mountains, which was the first roadway
followed by the white man in the early
settlement of the northwest territory.
The article also deals with the history
of the Elk City Basin. 1t tells us that
it was the 49er bound for California who
discovered the traces of gold in this dis
trict and later showed the great wealth
in placer deposits in this basin. Placer
mining was followed for a number of
years, and the district became famous
as the richest placer field in all the
northwest. For years several hundred
men with the primitive gold pan shifted
and worked the light soil in search of
the yellow metal, and an estimate from
the state mining department places the
amount of their reward at $40, 900, 900,
the actual amount not known. This
wealth was secured with comparative
ease and without the expense of ma
chinery used on the quartz mine of the
present day.
The placer mines played out in time
and there was ushered in the present
era of extensive prospecting and de-
velopment in quartz mining, and the re-
wards of the persevering and persistent
miner in the quartz have been so great
that, in view of the poor connections
with the outside world, the miner of the
present thinks of the Nez Perez trail
and the amount of travel over it in the
early days and wonders if it could not
be revived and so improved to be a
connecting link With the smelter cities of
Montana wherS the ore would find a
ready market
It is an idea Of d number of mining
men in this district that the old trail
could be revived with comparatively
little expense and made an interstate
road. An appropriation by congress
would be necessary and probably sum
from Montana and Idaho. .Appropria-
tons were made for such improvement
a few years ago, but political graft dis
sipated the fund before the work was
accomplished.
Such an Interstate road through the
wilderness of the Bitter Root range
would prove an easy route for the sur
veyors and engineers of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St, Paul to follow. In
case that company decides on some
route farther north the citizens Of cen
trail Idaho, and particularly the Elk City
Basin, may well ponder the old proverb,
"Procrastination is the thief of time.

WnOlly upon spokane aS source VI
supplies, but now the hustling and
promising little city of Lewiston is ris-
ing to claim her own in the commercial
world, and if being railway center
and situated in easy reach of immense
water power is indicative of the growth
and Importance of town there is
plenty Of promise in and about this
little city of Lewiston to assure the
patriotic citizens of this section of Idaho
that the day is not far distant when
we shall have jobbing and wholesale
center at our doors, and the money that
is now going to Spokane merchants will
be kept at home to build up home trade.
There is much in Lewiston upon
which to base the hope of having
commercial center within our state, in
spite of the fact that Lewiston has now
reached the half century year of it's ex-
istence and is still small place. Lack
of transportation facilities has retarded
its growth. Eight years ago it was
small place, but it took on new life
from the building of the railroad and
the opening of the rich Nez Perez In
dian reservation to settlers, and now it
is busy, hustling little city of several
Thousand people, exerting an influence
over all this section, with great promise
for the future. The impetus the place
received from modern transportation
facilities eight years ago will be weak
compared with the boost it will get
when the railways now building shall
have reached the city. Lewiston is
destined to be a great railway center
1t now has two lines of the Northern
Pacific, with the Portland and Puget
Sound line building down the Snake
river, the work on the Culdesac branch
being pushed to Grangeville, and the
construction work on the Huntingdon
Lewiston line of the Oregon Short Line
in full swing. This fine equipment of
railway service is to be enjoyed by Lew
iston before another year, and in less
than two years the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul, opening the rich valleys
and vast stores of mineral of the inter
ior of Idaho and linking the city with
the far east and the far west on the
shortest line between the two coasts
will be another means of transportation
that will be enjoyed by Idaho's coming
metropolis.
All that is in sight in the way of new
railway facilities should not be the end
of hope of the Lewistonite. With the
different railway systems in contiguous
territory, where before there was only
one, competition will be keen and will
result in each company building new
lines and extending old ones until all
the valleys of central Idaho that can
supply the tonnage will have railway.
This new territory will be Lewiston
territory.
With all these opportunities, and ad.
vantages there is much hope that in the
near future Idaho win have CONNER
cial center of her own. Northern Idaho,
from the nature of the country, will
continue as Spokane territory, but the
Snake river and the Riparia extension
offer field. for the Idaho city that
has heretofore been monopolized by
Spokane.
No inland city in the northwest has
the opportunities for future GREATNESS:
that Lewiston has.

IpAHO,s COMMERCIAL CITY.

lDAHO'S COMMERCIAL CITY.
Probably no other state west of the
Rocky mountains does more trading
outside and is more dependent upon
jobbing centers in neighboring states
than the state of Idaho. This is so for
several reasons, chief of which is that
there are no large cities or commercial
centers in Idaho, while around the border
in adjoining states there are large cities
that are easily reached by the people of
Idaho. The PEOPLE of northern Idaho
pay tribute to Spokane wholesalers and
jobbers, principally, though the terri
tory outside he mining district, which
is controlled by Spokane men, is divided
with Montana merchants. The south
part Of the state is Portland, Ogden and
Salt Lake City's territory with a little
business controlled by the small iobbers
of Boise, Pendlet9n and Walla Walls.
The people along the west central part
Of the state until recently depended

for these lands can be partly ac-
counted for the route of access.
At present this is from the west.
Were there a wagon road from
the east, so that eastern home
seekers and investors would not
have to go around the proverbial
Robin Hoods Barn. things
might be different in central
idaho.
Probable Course of the Milwaukee.
This suggests the possible or
probable route of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St Paul road in
transferring its western terminus
from Dakota to Puget Sound. 1t
seems to be generally accepted
that the Milwaukee junction with
Snake river will be at Lewiston,
but whether it will go down the
North Fork Of the Clearwater, or
the Middle Fork or the South
Fork seems to be at present legi-
innate food for gossips.
Two passes in the Bitter Root
mountains are available: The
Yolo and the Nez Perez. Should
the Milwaukee engineers elect to
take the former, the probable
course would be either the North
Fork or the Middle Fork; if the
latter, running about twenty
miles from Elk City If the Nez
Perez Pass should be chosen, the
route would undoubtedly lie
through the Elk City Basin, pass
ing down the South Fork, by
Stites,' the present terminus of
the Northern Pacific Clearwater
short line.
When non-railroad men are dis
cussing the problem of probable
tiles and offering their solutions
to the Milwaukee engineers their
line Of thought runs something
like this: Railroads are after
business; they seek tonnage. If
the Milwaukee road takes either
the North Fork or the Middle
Fork of the Clearwater, its prin-
cipal tonnage will be timber,
which will be cut away and haul
ed out in few years. This route
for heMilwaukee road will leave
the way clear for the Northern
Pacific to extend its Clearwater
short line up the South Fork and
corral the traffic along that route,
leaving to the Milwaukee road
the traffic that would be furnish
ed between the two Northern Pa
cifc lines.
Proposed Route Offers Tonnage.
A hasty survey Of the situation
suggests that the tonnage for
railroads furnished by the South
Fork must be immeasurably
greater than that furnished by
either the North Fork or the Mid
die Fork, or even both combined.
/ AS suggested, the latter must be
largely timber. The South Fork
also flows through a heavily limb
cred section and taps the well
4 mineralized districts of Elk City
and Buffalo Hump, whose mineral
wealth has only begun to be dis
4 closed. 1t would enter the wheat
! fields and stock ranges around
Grangeville and on Camas prairie
and compete with. the Northern
Pacific for that heavy tonnage
traffic.
Following these lines Of thought
it can readily be seen how the
conclusion creates a presumption
| in favor of the South Fork, which

camps in direct Zine of promo
