MILLIONS IN ORE TO LINE ITS WALLS rutiiro or Ortpplu Creek A Hemnrknblo lion Story Poor Io * Tombstone IJcut sucar In Colorntto r r WeUern Iteim. Uegular sli.if t. regular drift , regular lor- els , In fact , n regular gold mlno right In the heart of Sunsnt Ctty. There was n nnnlncr exhibit , of course , In Chicago , Just as Micro always li in every exposition - position , but the mlnlmr exhibit to bo dis played dt the Midwinter fair will bo to all previous exhibits as an International expo sition U to n ill mo rausoum , says the San Francisco Kxamincr. The men who have boon placed in charge bf the mining department have resolved to make their exhibit the most remarkable and attractive of the entire fair , an exhibit that will ho worthy of n state that Is producing more than $1,000,000 in gold every month. A shaft fifty foot deep -will be sunk In1 some portion of the fairgrounds nnd will befitted fitted up with the most approved and Inter esting appliances that are In Die at the mines. It will bo n double compartment shaft , anil will bo made to illustrate the systems of timbering that are common in California. Uul that Is not to bo all of the mine. A drift 150 feet la length will bo extended from the main shaft , and In that drift all of the processes of mining will bo illustrated with exhibitions of the machine drills nnd the finest Implements that are manufactured for the purpose of breaking Into the bowels of the mountains. On u Worltlnc Scale , The shaft and drift will bo made largo enough to conveniently accommodate the visitors and adequate precautions will b taken to make the mlno absolutely safe Elevators will bo run as they are run in the larger mines , but they will bo constructed seas as to bo comfortable nnd secure for passen ger trafllc. The drift will extend In a circle nnd the cars will continually move about on their subterranean route. For the purpose of plainly exhibiting the underground system the mlno will bo lllu- minuted by electricity. In addition to the mine Itself there will bo n mill and as thorough nn exhibit of all the mining processes as could bo found on the coast , it Is intended to show the world just what mining Is and to maka this exhibit an educational feature as well as a means of attracting people. A live-stamp mill , a roclc-hrcaitci- oro-fccder and n concen trator will bo In full running order , and gold the actual hard pold of California will bo actually extracted from thcrougn-looking rock that is brought from the mountains by tlio carload. The visitors may see the ere before It coes Into the mill , they may follow every process , and they may sco the bright gold as it is cleaned up. And then if they want to follow the line of California indus try they may nuike a trip to the government mint and sco how the barrels of big , round | 20 coins uro turned out. Every system , old or now , connected with California mining will booxnlbited , and contrasts of half a century will bo sharply drawn. To most of the Caltforiituns this Trill not bo lose interesting and wonderful than to the mild-mannered Esquimau , the gold expert from the Bank of Kngluna , or the World's fair authority from Chluuro. Life and motion will bo unending in the mining camp , nnd oxcltoment Is sure to run high in the contests that are proposed. < 5iei < t Drilling Contest. * Each of the sixteen or seventeen mining counties will send teams of its best men to compete for diplomas in the ordinary work that minors do. The contests will include : Single-hand rock drilling , one man wield ing : tlio hammer while holding the drill. Double-hand drilling , with one man strik ing , while the other holds the drill. Triple-hand drilling , with two men strik ing , while a third holds the drill. Good hard rock will bo provided and plenty of It , but when those selected minors got down to their work the ablest quarrymen - men of the world will bo surprised to see how rapidly the holes are driven. Decisions in the contest will be based on the rapidity of the drilling and the condition 01 the worlr. The mining exhibit , aside from the mine nnd the machinery , will bo by far the most massive that has over been known , it Is estimated by W. C. Halston. secretary of the commission and one of the most active men in the project , that the ere and specimens nlono will amount to moro than $1,000,000 in . value. Ten thousand square feet of space has bean sot apart for the exhibition in machin ery hall , and the commissioners declare that they will flii that space with minerals worth looking at. People who could not > iavo boon induced to loan exhibits for the Chicago fair Imve declared that they will bring their cabinets with them , nnd , furthermore , that they will stay rlcht with the cabinets. The mining neoulo will feel at homo here , and the eastern pickpocket who concluded to escape with some of the liner specimens will need to previously borrow a bullet-proof suit of clothes from the hlppoi > otaimii depart ment. Gold will bo by no means tlni only feature of the mineral exhibit , and there will also bo silovr , lead , quicksilver , borax , chrome , antimony , manganese , lime , marble , build ing stone , petroleum , nsphaltum , bitumin ous rock , clays , coal , salt , alum , asbestos , bismuth , tin , cement , plumbago , gypsum , iron , infusorial earth , kaoliu , metallic paint , micu , nickel , ochre , rock soap , slate , sul phur , tula aud other substances. The com missioners say In this connection that m the ' immigration literature1' issued in this state few if anv of theao substances are oven mentioned ns products of California , yet in several instances they uro produced no- * vrhoro clsu in tliu United States. Thovutuo of the total mineral production of California is about $ 0,000,000 per annum. In forty-thrro years the gold has amounted to $ lM5,000XX ! ( ) . The output last year was $13,000,000 , notwithstanding the decrease caused by the prevention of hvdraullo min ing. Watt-rut I.ml. The future destiny of Crlpplo Creek was finally determined yesterday , says the Criwhor , when water for tuo first time flowed through the main of the Michigan Pipe Line company. From now on and for all time it , will bo impossible toviest from Crlpplo Creek the right to the title of the metropolis of what is destlnoil in the near future to become everywhere icrogulzod PS the greatest gold mining camp in the world. In the past business men have not had the courage to bring large stocks of goods hero or to invest but little inonuy In building on account of the utter lack of tire protection. JJtit all this Is now changed. The very pur est water in the world mid in endless quan tity , having a pressure of moro than eighty pounds to the square inch.

Ho commenced upon it only | lvo mouths ago nnd although ho has been handicapped in a thousand ways at different times ho hua quietly overcome all obstacles. MuiicUuiiiMi'ii Hennery , The fablu of the geese that Jala golden eggs has at last bcou outdone ba Butte journal upou wliosa veracltv wo rely for the following story : J. A. MeCotivlllo , who lives ou Montana street , Uutto , Mont. , killed one of his chickens for dinner , and on cluuulng it was surprised to find a quantity of gold nuggets in the crop and gizzard. Having about thirty moro chickens on hand ho reRau killing nnd examining thorn. In each ho found a pro ruta of uuirgots. the total amount being gathered from the thlrty- 1 ouo bolus tSS.5 , an average of $13.0n head. The gold was sold to the State Na- tlounlbunk nnd pronounced ItU llao. Mr , McConvlllo bounht some fifty moro chickens and turned thorn out in iho gold Hold iu the Yiolultyol hi * hau coop. Ai au experiment , ono wat killed and 12.80 In gold was taken from its insldo works , the result of a four days run. Mr. McConvilto tins a virtual bonnnui and expects to bo a mlllonaira If the chickens hold out. Stuck on the Moon. Some of the orders for goods received by the merchants of this city , says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer , are extremely lauahablo and cause no end of amusement to the em- plover who have the fun or the work of sup plying whimsical pustomnrs with what they want. Ono of the Jobbing houses recently ro- col vcd a letter from Alaska from ono of Its regular customers , who had Just returned from a visit hero , ordering a tombstone for a living Indian. The letter said : "Before I lof t homo nn Indian wanted mete to get him a toombstono four feet high with the figure of the moon on top. Ho brought mo a picco of cardboard cut thus , ( an oblong surmounted by a circle ) so I would bo sure nnd get It Just right. Uolow the round part , or moon , ho wishes a pair of hands claipeil. Well , I did not think of the ntono while at Seattle. Can you get the stone and send it with our goods ? A face is to be cut on the moon to rcsomblo the man in the moon , also the name 'Kohllce.it' to ha cut on it. An the man is still living , nnd I do not knoxv when ho will die or when ho was born , I think wo will put no dates on the stono. " If the Indian should refuse to accept the stone it will bo an easy matter to name some other Indian as the stone is lettered and snvo the tombstone for him. But there Is no danger that an Indian will ever allow anything to escape him if It can bo used to ornament his grave. lieot Sucnr Colony. Utah , Nebraska and California are not to bo t lie. solo cnntors of the boot sugar Indus try In this country , says the Denver Times. Negotiations are now In progress between Counts Lublonskt of Warsaw and Wozesln- ski of Poson , Husslan Poland , nnd Colonel A. O. Fisk of Denver for the possession of 15- 000 of 20,000 acres of suitable lands in this state for the growth of the sugar boot and the manufactures of beet sugar. The scheme is to move 500 Polish families to Colorado to cultivate hero the boot farms , and the dis tinguished prospectors have boon roving over the states of Minnesota , Dakota and Nebraskft under the conductorshlpof Colonel Lunn of Grand Island , Nob. , who is much In terested In the beet sugar Industry. . The projectors of the movement have at their command 100,000 left by the will of a distinguished Polish woman for this purpose - pose , so that as far ns cold cash is concerned the now colony will bo "strictly in it. " Count Liubtenski , In speaking of the mat ter , said : ' Our people all understand this culture thoroughly , and the fact that their women nnd children work in the iiclds gives them great advantage over ordinary Americans , who could not stand such a system. Of course the action of congress on a sugar bounty law will bo of gro.it importance to us. but only its repeal without the replacing of the sugar tax would seriously hurt our enter prise. Wo don't look for that. " They oxpccl the colony to bo moving early in the spring. The count and his associate have loft for Chicago to bo present at the closing of the World's fair ; but they will return to this city in a few days to complete the prelimi naries for the Immigration. Sportlvo Whale. Ihe quiet nnd serene waters of Monterey bay have boon disturbed by nn intruder for the last week or so , which has afforded much pleasure and amusement to the people of this vicinity. This intruder Is a hugo whale , which seems to enjov the situation also. Ho has been continually emerginir from tuo water and spouting to a great height. It Is thought hois of the bone-be.ir- ing species and several fishermen have been in pursuit , butowlnsrto the cleverness of the whale they have failed to capture the prize. It is said that it. is the largest of the kind that over came into Monterey bay. Owing to his bolng here at this time ho must have been sidetracked In some way , as most of the whales have retired to the warmer re gions of the south to rear tnelr young. A SucofSslill Miner. J , Henry Longmald , who last week visited Butte , is ono of the most successful young mining men in.tho statp , which ho has dem onstrated bv'hts work in the Empire mine In Lewis nnd Clarke county , says the Inter Mountain. Ho took hold of this property where others had failed and mined and milled 150.000 tons of ere at a profit. lie is now working the Penobscot with a small crow of men. The profits for September wore $1,000. The mine shows many stringers of ilch gold ere in places from the 800 up. Mr. Longmaid is upraising on these aud is well satislled with the result * . The Ponob- scot was the famous bonanza mlno of the ' 70s. At ono time 800 men wore employed and the mine had but a forty-stamp mill. Little or no timbering was done and In 1830 work ceased. For over ton years the prop erty remained idle , and in consequence of the caving of ground and filling up with water it was no easy taste to resume opera tions when Mr. Longuialu took hold of the n-operty. Search for koit Kxplorcrs. In May , 1893 , T. C. Clark , an engineer , loft Vancouver to take a rough topographical survey of the Squamish Valley river , empty- nginto the Gulf of Georgia , forty miles 'rom hero. The sources of the river are among rugged mountains , full of glaciers. Clarke was accompanied by A. K. Braydan , a young English artist. Clarke's expedition was speculative , his object being to find u feasible route for the iroposed Peace Valley & Alaska railway on Ills own account and sell the knowledge to Its promoters. They uover returned. In July Stanley Smith , nn explorer , was sent out by the attorney general of the pro vince to find them. The only trace ho got was a cloth cap belonging to Clarke , found at the upper waters of the Squamish. Doubt less both perished in the river. Smith wont ou to Clillco lake , thence to Knight's Inlet , ,200 miles north. During a greater part of the Journey he subsisted on ground hogs , mountain goats , muskrais and tlsh. Ills cloi lies and sliced were torn oft by the undergrowth , and .ho arrived at the coast after terrible suffering , almost naked aud famished. Ho reports the route Impracticable for a railway. The In- diaus killed three settlers , names unknown , living u few miles from Kuljjlit's iniot. Old Army Kollc , The government buildings at Fort Craw ford , a few miles below Ouray , Colo. , on the Uncompahgro river , are advertised for sale , and in it few weeks the old buildings will DO torn down and what remains of the fort will bo destroyed. , Old Fort Crawford has a history Intensely interesting , as It was in the vicinity of those barracks that the renegade Utes committed heartrending murders and the most atro cious and blood-curdling depredations. Within sight of tbo fort was the homo of the icncgado rhiof Coioiow , also that of Chief Shavono. The old homo of Chief Ourny , "tho whlto man's friend , " Is almost within a stoim's throw of the crumbling barracks. Adjoining the Fort Crawford reservation on the south are yet to bo seen the crum bling walls of the old adobe buildings of the UncompaliKro or Ute agency. But instead of being the homo of the bloodthirsty In dian and carnivorous animals , as it was less than u score of years ago , thocountry 1s now changed to peace nnd quietness nnd both the Uncompahcro and Fort Crawford reser vations are now well watered farms , produc ing abundant crops of hay , grain and fruit and Iho finest horses and cattle to bo found in the west. About ton years ago the Uncompahgre ngonuy was abandoned , and immediately James Hptchkiss pro-cmpted the land and commenced to convert it Into ono of the finest farnib In the Centennial stato. When Fort Crawford was abandoned four years ago Jumos Fouton , the old post trader , inovoci on to the reservation , und when it was thrown open for settlement , two years ago , ho took possession under the homestead laws and at oaco formally notified the gov ernment to roroovo its buildings.
