WEST SHORE. 189 THB SILVER KINO. Look at a map of Washington and British Columbia, and you will ob serve the outlet upon the Columbia of the Eootenay river, not far north of the British boundary; and there, a little to the eastward, joa will tee Eootenay lake, a mirror set among the high alpa, and reaching away be yond limit north and south. You will see that the lake has an arm branch ing a score of miles westward, from which the river finds its course down a stairway of white cataracts to the Colombia. And now look upward from these nameless falls strung like great diamonds about the bases of the southward hills the foot hills that spread from Toid mountain like the rays of a star that reach outward from the central crags and snow fields over the valleys of Cottonwood creek, 8almon river and the Kootenay. Three years ago some Colville men were prospecting, and some of the horses were lost. Two young half breeds went in search of them over the high shoulder of the eastern spur In the deep snow. They found mineral, and on the return of the party to Colville the specimens proved to be very rich In silver. Rumor was soon abroad, and very early in the spring, upon such slight clnes as were to be had, a party set out to discover, if possible, where the mineral had been found. The original discoverers, the Hall brothers and their party, Informed and helped them to such a degree that they were presently Involved in a river trip that would take several weeks at least, by way of the Columbia and Kootenay. Meanwhile the Hall party set out overland, and took but very few days to reach the ridge of the east ern spur, where they camped by what is, in sumnur, a lovely lake bordered with alpine lilies, but then a deep snow field. Two hundred feet down the north face brought them to where the stakes were planted of the Silver King, the Kootenay Bonanza and the American Flag; and another pros pector, who found the party in camp, located an extension called the Dan dy. These, with the three locations made by Dick Fry, of Bonner's Ferry, form the nucleus of the camp at an elevation of 5,400 feet above the sea. Dr. Talmage says that we would all be rich but the Lord can not trust us. Still it is not pleasant to think that the Lord can trust some of the millionaires of this country in pref erence to ni.Chnmiclt-TcUgraph, AJ.?.n.T9.

Superior. o r OLODOH JAT PORAVW CLOUGH & GRAVES A depotit, supposed to be sixty feet wide, of copper ore assaying $400 per ton in silver, has been disclosed by a little digging, and this extends 3,000 feet. It is a treasury of gleaming violet with lustres of ruby and cobalt, every fragment a jewel save the dull rough patches of brittle silver that de face the surface. The peacock copper has from twenty-seven to forty per cent, of the bulk, twenty-two per cent, is sulphur, nine per cent, water, and earthy matter, and there are smaller quantities of antimony, magnesia, nickel, Iron, gold and other minerals. From the summit of the mountain, a bare crag at a height of 7,600 feet, the course of the Silver Kinj and Iro quois ledges may be seen reaching across the forks of Glveout creek and over the northeast spur some two and one-half miles. On the northern slope extends the vast gold belt, looking down upon the Kootenay and its cataracts, with hundreds of claims, in most of which free gold may be seen in the quarts. Opposite, under a high crag on the north side of the river, is a copper belt with ledges from 100 to 200 feet wide. Another gold belt covers the eastern slopes of the mountains on Cottonwood gulch ; and joining that is the fourth great mineral region of the camp, the galena belt. Thus there are In one mining camp five distinct mineral districts totally un like, and It would take too much space to tell of curious nickel and Iron dis coveries and divers complicated ledges that give scope for the varied mis information of " experts." This wild and lonely crag, the star of hills, so rich a treasury of hidden wealth, the web of tangled torrents seeking the Cottonwood, the Salmon and the Kootenay, these glittering streams them selves, and the wide west arm that leads to Kootenay lake, seem to be set at the nucleus of the world. Wide and wild, to north and south and east and west, one stormy sea of hills, vast, dark, terrible I and behold the crested seas beyond their gleaming waves of snow spectral beyond the limits of the world, with glaciers and Ice fields reaching away, like the sea's white tracts of foam, Into tin haze of white light Into the Infinite I II.
