Tae Cirar d'lirir Cold ExeltemenL Spokan Falls Review, Sept K.L Ths exciteraant created a couple of weeks ago by the exhibition of gold and the r? ports directly from the Cct-ur d Alcne placer diggincs has been stiff. merited by still further devrlopmen'.s and mors startling discoveries, Untl the gold fersr has reached the highest pitch, and Rqusds of proepectors are currying to the new camp. The ex citemtnt has not wattod iU fore in this place, but is spreading through Washington, Montana and Idaho terri tories. And the wonderful productions are enough to awaken emotion in the most lethargical. There is no exaggor anon in me statement mat it the pay gravel holds out there never has been placer mines c'iscoverod that would sur pass these in richness. Sundsy D. D. Squire and W. J. Knox returned from the scenes ol lalior and their reports have added fuel to the flame. Up ward of one hundred prospectors have left this vicinity during thn week, and, although late in the season, the rush promises to be unprecedented in the history of new mining fields. The mineral bearing dirt is located in the fastness of the Coour d'Alene monn tains, distant aliout one hundred miles from Spokane Falls, The road from hero to the point on the old Mullen road, where the trail turns to the mountains, is very good and can be traveled by wagons, but the mountain path is very rough and can only lie traveled by surefooted animals, and even then the road is so incumbered with rocks and fallen timber that a man has to walk and lead his horse for a number of miles. With good horses a man can make the trip from the Falls in four days. The great drawback is the heavy grade to cross in the moun tains. The snow falls early and to a great depth, making ingress and egress in the winter months almost impracti cable. However, there is no doubt a good wagon road thst is, good in com parison with none at all will bo out through, as there is no obstacle so great that men will not overcome in their thirst for lucre, If those who are going in now meet with the luck they anticipate, wo may look for a per fect flood of prospectors in the Spring. Of course the placers cannot bo workod in the Winter, and those who conclude to spend the cold months on the ground do so merely to hold claims and to be on hand at the first breaking up to work the rainea It is the intention of most of those who struck out this week to return to the Falls after taking up claims. the golden days of California, say the products surpass anything they ever heard of. Of course the mines msy peter out, or be limited in extent, but those who have . been there say that color has been found wherever the pros, pector has sunk a pick. This can only, be determined in time. Now there is ho troublo to find the precious metal. Men are averaging from $20 to $30 per. day and have only the most primitive tools to work with. '. It stands U rea. son that thn find gold is entirely lost; in fact no effort is being msde to save the small particles. All the specimens that have been brought to this city are in the shape of nuggets, running all the way from pieces as largn as a pea to chunks as large as hazle nuts. It is the general opinion that rich quarts ledges exist somewhere in the neighbor hood of the camp. This is supported by the appearance of the gold. Much of it looks as though it had been melt ed by the action of Are and then cooled quickly in all manner of fantastio shapes, Iwing perfectly smooth. These pieces have evidently undergone the action of the water for yrara Other pieces are rough, with quarts still ad hering. We would not be surprised to learn of the discover of rich rock at any time, as we understand an old prospector in the hills has fine spool. ' mens in his postwiwion. When the lodes are onw struck ths Panhandle of Idaho will be a some of activity never surpassed in the history of mining oper ations in the world. A correspondent says: "Thore Is some smuggled ground here yet, but this next week will let it all out 'I think it will make a good camp when opened out The creek is on a dead level, and will take long drains ' to open it, Everyone takes twenty acres that is eighty rods long and forty rods wide, It is about twnntv-fivs miles long and all taken up, A good many are coming in hers from Spo kane, There are about 129 mon here) now 150 more expected here this weok. Supplies now come in from Ratbdruro. I can not advise any one here, as he will have to fight his way and a hard one at that, Thore is some talk of cutting down the claims to five seres, but before you can receive this etter every foot of ground will be taken." From Messra Squire and Knox, who have such confidence in the camp as to return to-day, to remain all winter if necessary, we have gathered ths fol lowing information: They both state that they are the most promising placer mines they ever saw. When they left there were some sixty or seventy men on the ground. A great deal of land bad been taken up, but not much work done, The miners live in teats, al though timber exists in abundance. A town site has been laid off, which is called Eagle City. The gold is of a course quality, mixed with gravel, and is found on the bed reck at a depth of four to ten feet The whole country shows indications of having once been under water, and thn deposits have been waahed down from some ledge in the mountains. On Pritchard creek, which, with the other numerous small streams that cut op the country, is a tributary to the Cuiur d'Alene river, gold can be picked up in nuggets weighing from 2 upward. On the 1 2tb a man named Fisher found a nug get in his claim worth $38 48. One miner was seen brushing out the crevi ces with a rough broom whittled from a piece of pine, and the amount of gold found by this crude means almost filled a common yeast powder can. Sup plies of every kind are very sarce in camp; still it will be but a short time before some enterprising individual runs in a stock of goods. All of the old miners we have talked to are bewildered at the richness of the diggings. Many are willing to doubt thn existence of gold deposits, and would hardly believe their own eyes when the pure, solid nuggets were dis played, Men who bad experience In Irlib Humor. SBStaawsa, 1 'I engagod," said a burly lawyer, chaise at Gal way to conduct me some few miles into the country, and had proceeded some distance, when it earn to a sudden stsndstill at the beginning' on a rather step incline, and the coach man, leaping to the ground, came to the door and opened it 'What art you at, man! Tins is not where I ordored you to stop. Has the animal iibbedf 'Whist, yer honor, whist,'. said Paddy in an undertone. 'I'm only dowiving the sly baste, I'll just bang the door and the crafty ould cartur will think he's intirely grot rid of yer honor's splendid form, and he'll be at the top of the hill in no time.' " On the edge of a small river in the county of Cavsn, in Ireland, there is ' use to be a stone with the following inscription cut upon it, no doubt in tended for ths information of strangers passing that way: "N. B.Vbta ' this stone is out of sight, it is not sa( to ford the river.'' Even the above is almost if not quite surpassed by the ' famous post erected a few years since 1 by the surveyors of the Kent roads in England: "This is the bridle path to Faversham. If you can't read this you had better keep so the main road."' We are also reminded of a dubata ' which took place in the Irish House of Commous in 1795, on the leather tax. in which the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, Sir John Plunkett, observed with great emphasis: "That in the prosecution of the present war, every man ought to give his last guinea to protect the remainder." Mr. Vanda leur added: "However that might lie, the tax on leather would be severely, felt by the bare-footed peasantry of, Ireland." To which Sir B. Rocba re plied that "this could be easily rem edied by making the nnderKathcrs of wood" Chambers. ' A tramp called his shoes corporations ecsuse they had no sole
