EDITORIAL.
The fact that pay is being taken
out on Seattle and Omega creeks
should settle the question as to the
extent os the new district finally.
There is no doubt that a few more
months work will develop an area
of still greater extent. This being
the case, it is but a step to realize
what this mean? to Rampart; to
cur business men and merchants.
The miner has found the gold: the
rush of new-comers will consequent
. lv ensue, thereby increasing the
business and profits of the camp.
Now let us townspeople do our
share and put the trails in such re
pair that the miner can freight his
goods to his claim with a minimum
amount af exertion. '
The forum has arranged t© have
a map of the G}en district made.
<\ number will be reproduced by
photography, and will be p a *ed on
sale snortly. The map is -being
drawn by an experienced topog
rapher, who is throughly acquain
ted with every foot of the country
being mapped. The map will be
accurate and reliable in every way.
The first mail since the river
closed reached Rampart last Wed
nesday. Mail should now arrive
everv two weeks.
