It is now reported that Pritchard, the original Coeur d'Alene boomer, has gone least to stay, and that he does not own a foot of ground in the alleged mines. It is also hinted that his pockets are well filled, and that his "raise" came from railway town lot boomers. "Pritchard evidently does not want to take chances on another interview with disgusted stampeders when spring opens, probably fearing that his neck would not escape the rope this time.-Madisonian. Some prospectors in the mountains ave struck "ile." At Quartz creek, hich lies about forty miles north of icking Horse river, in British Colum ia, have been discovered placer dig ings, which, it is anticipated, will pay rom ten to twenty dollars a day. They at first imagined they were the first dis coverers, but further observation proved that this was one of several mines which had been worked some twenty years ago, but had to be abandoned on account of the cost of transporting provisions and other necessaries. The approach of the Canadian Pacific railway will, how ever, put an end to this difficulty, and there is little doubt that there will be a pretty lively stampede in that direction as soon as spring opens up. The excite ment among miners is intense, and all of them are longing for the disappear ance of the snow, which now impedes their passage.--Calgary Herald. From Friday's JJailr. v .

DEAR SIR :-By the published items in your paper there is a wrong impres sion or meaning attached to said articles which needs correction. Now, sir, the reason why I left Sun River when I did was from the fact that evidence was against me to the effect that I was not divorced from a wife in Ohio, as I 'have believed I was for a number of years, and it was necessary for me to leave Sun River at the time I did in order to settle-the trouble.
