Mr. J. iist returned to tho city
this morning from a trip 'to Lake
Valley and the Percha country,
lie says the testimony of people 11
the Percha district is very conilict
ing regarding the permanency ol'
the mines there. Thus far, 110 rich
mineral lias been develojud oth-.;r
than the rich sulphide lloat of which
so much has been wriiien. Mo
shafts have been sunk on the loca
tions yet and it is not positively
known that tfiere are any g urine
lode. Those interested in tin;
mines of course say there are, while
the bulk of the testimony of other
people is to the contrary. Seve ral
wr.goij oad Hot' the lloai, have been

on the mad. Some new strikes are
reported, runnirg from (0 to Si;oo
to the ten.
Regarding the towns ami the

Valley mill has starhsl ui again,
after being thoroughly repaired.
The fact that one company controls
all the minea there militr.te against
this r.s a very large miring ramp.
It is said by some that the town is
notan lively ay it wui three months
ago, owing, probably to the iloatmg
population going in a body to the
Percha. About 4!) or .K people are
coming daily, passing on to
Kingston.
The latter town lias a population
of from .'350 to 500. Jt is laid out
in a narrow canon and can never
have more than one street. Con
sequently, ii it should become a big
town, it will necessarily fie a very
long one. There has been a scar
city of lumber throughout that
whole country, but considerable is
now coming in. Kingston town
site was located as a mill site and
there is trouble about titlei- to town
lots, as the parties who located the
site can not, under their location,
r.cipiiro title for that purpose.
Lots, bow-ever, are selling at from
&;',.() to i00. One woman has
taken a lot and built on it and rc-fu.-;es
to pay for it. She is not
being molested.
It is probable there will be a lull
in the boom this winter; for, as
soon. :r; people find out there are no
mills and no way to reduce t he ores
and put money in circulation and
that there is great doubt, about the
permanency of the mines, it is
probable that immigration will
cease. At present, people are liv
ing o.T the immigrants arryir.g
daily, every one of -whom brings a
few dollar:) with him. Jf immigra
tion should stop the country would
