A $0,000,000 dredging contract , between '
the Scattlo South canal and the Lake
( Washington Waterway company nnd the
lowers Dredging company has Jutt been
Blgncd by C. H. ' Frcscott , president of the
dredging company , and vice president of
the Northern Pacific railroad , says a Tacoma -
coma special to the San Francisco Chron
icle. The Scattlo company has already
! elcncd.
U Is the largest dredging contract over
uwardcd to ono nrm In this country. The
contract calls for the excavation of 35,000,000
v. cubic yards of earth , of which 9,000,000
yards are to bo dredged from the waterways
through the Scattlo tldu lands and 26,000,000
taken out of the three-mile canal connect
ing Kiiko Washington and Puget sound.
This canal will cut through a bluff 200
feet high for half a mtlo. The excavation
at this place will bo done by sluicing. The
company has live.'yearn In which to do the
work , and expects to keep the largo
< l * dredgers busy on It for most of that time.
The earth excavated will fill In 2,000 acres
of tldo flats. The dredging company IB
planning to build a third dredger to bo
used In filling In the Tacoma flats and on
government work.
When the woik Is started two dredgers
will \\ork ut Tacoma part of the time and
part of the time at Seattle. The tldo lands
to bo tilled In hero and at Seattle will he
used for railroad terminals , manufacturing
and wluilc'ulo purposes , as heavy business
can be transacted tnoro cheaply on the fiats
than on the hilly streets.
The Seattle South Canal company ha.i ob
tained a contract from the slate of Washing
ton by which. In accordance with the state
law , the company can fill In the entire flats
and secure a Hen on the property , to bo rc-
leased only when the upland owners , having
the first right of purchase , pay the average
cost of filling , with 15 per cent added and In
terest , after the work Is completed. This
plan will also bo adopted here. Uy It the
flats can bo filled In under ono contract and
the co.it lessened , the streets and waterways
balng laid out In a systematic way.
Hy the use of Improved dredgers the dredg
ing company expects to make largo profits ,
nnd the canal company will make money by
the 1C per cent bonus or sale of the lands.
The money for the Scattlo contract Is being
furnished by St. Louis capitalists through the
Mississippi Valley Trust company. The
dredging company Is a Chicago corporation ,
having Its'western headquarters here.
The Tacoma Land company haa Just raised
$1.000,000 on bonds In Philadelphia with
which to buy of the state- and , commence fill
Ing In the largest part of the Tacoma tide
lands.
I3ELCHINO FIUB AND MUD.
The Cocopah mountains In Lower Cali
fornia nro again In a state of eruption ,
doorgo Ncal , a mining man who has Just
returned from the Juarez placer district ,
r.ports having seen , a volcano In eruption ,
says a San Diego dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Call. It was the central butte of the
three Isolated Pleaches , about twenty miles
southeast of Signal mountain , and not far
from the mouth of New river. Ho was
on Cantlla. mountain at the time , twenty-
flva or thirty miles distant.
Heavy stnoko was seen to ascend , at first
thought to be from a Colorado river steamer.
Accompanying It were heavy sounds like
cannonading , and the column shot high at
Intervals. Indians working at the placer
told Ncal that the Cocopah mountains were
ngaln shaking , and that the Cocopah and
Santa Catarlna Indians had left the moun
tains to await a cessation of the disturb
ance.
Ilcsldes fire volcanoes , the Indians said
mud volcanoes , gas holes and hot springs
were spouting with greater activity than
ever before. At some of the gas holes
whistling sounds were made , to be heard
miles distant. U IB said at the times of
the greatest activity In the Cocopah coun
try the Collnm volcano Is also to be found
in eruption.
SILVER STRIKE AT HAHN'S PEAK.
Halm's peak , the rich placer camp. Is at
present the scene of a rush of prospectors
that almost equals the stampede of the early
days of that great gold field. The excltment
Is caused by the discovery of an Immense
blow-out of silver bearing rock , said to como
from a blanket vein , and the street corners
are alive with excited men talking over the
rich bonanzas Just uncovered at the peak.
The first discovery was made two weeks
ago by Stucky and Ward , two prospectors
from New Caatle , says a Steamboat Springs
special to the Denver Times , and now the
country la staked for miles and digging goes
on at a lively rate. The ore scorns to bo a
black lime and , according to tests , runs made
all the way from 300 to 500 ounces In silver
to the ton on the surface.
Specimens which were brought down by
Colonel I. G. Voice , clerk of the district
court , and John Murphy , the veteran stage
driver , after being tested In a blacksmith's
forge , were literally honeycombed wlt\
globules of silver , In size all the way from
a No. 1 to a No. 8 shot , and were estimated
by experts to run Into the thousands.
The same character iff rock Is found over
a vast territory. Doing on the north slope
of Halm's peak and extending from the Smith
claims on Willow creek to Red Park , a dis
tance of over five miles , and as far as pros
pected the belt seems to be several miles In
width.
It , If estimated that there are from 400 to
COO men on the ground at this date and
every stage adding to the list. Parties from
Crlpplo Creek who have been In town for
supplies pronounce the strike one of the rich
est known In the history of the stato. The
Whlpple & Shaw stage line Is preparing to
jiiit on six-horse Concord coaches In order to
meet the rush.
A CO-OPERATIVE RAILROAD.
George W. Vroman , president and promoter
of the San Diego , Pacific & Eastern railroad ,
is now In Salt Lake City , engaged In making
the preliminary arangomonts for this now en
terprise , says the Portland Oregonlan. The
road Is projected to bo built from the port of
San Diego to Salt Lake City , through the
fertile valleys of southern Utah. It Is unique
In Its way , as It Is organized to bo built by
railroad men and operated for their benefit.
The capital stock will consist of 100,000 shares
at a value of $10 each , and assessments will
be called until the shares are all subscribed
lor.
lor.Mr.
Mr. Vroman states that great progress has
6een made already In the contemplated en
terprise , and the company Is hearing from out-
dido territory every day. The object of his
visit to Salt Lake la to call the railroad and
' /justness men of that city together to fully
explain the project to them , and to obtain
their support.
li , The road 1s Intended to pay as high wages
es any other line , and , as the employes are to
< wn and manage It themselves , they expect
to derive dividends , In addition to earning
their salaries.
The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
at Salt Lake Ctly has Indorsed the project , It
Is said , and will take an active part In the
proceedings.
Already COO shares have been taken In
blocks ranging from one to twonty-flvo shares ,
and orders are said to bo coming In dally.
A MAMMOTH WATERWAY.
The purchasers of the Victor reservoir as-
Bets will commence work et once with a
largo number of teams constructing a canal
fifty-two miles long , seventy-five feet wide
and ton feet deep for Irrigating 200,000
acres on Mojave plains , on the north side
of the range of mountains , extending from
Victor to a point on the Atlantic & Pacific
road west of Darstow. says a San Ber
nardino. Cal. , dispatch to the San Francisco
Call. Six hundred miles of lateral canals
will bo constructed , on which Bottlers will
do tbo work , being paid by the company ,
thus supporting their families whllo their
ranches and fruit farms are being devel
oped.
The lands to be watered are mostly gov
ernment land taken up under the desert
land act. The company offers settlers the
following proposition : The settler takes up
3:0 acres , making a first payment of 25
cents per aero. The company will furnish
him water and pay the balance of the price ,
Jt per acre , when proved up , give the set
tler forty acres with water right , ono inch
to five acres , and take the balance of land
for the company. Tbo settler thus reserves
a forty-aero ranch with good full water
right , the whole costing him but SO , or J2
per acre. .The land U very rich for farming
and fruit raising , but too cold for citrus
fruits. Apples and peaches yield a remarkably -
ably fine crop and are fine flavored.
This syndicate , called the Columbia
Colonization company , Is very wealthy and
has a large colony In Georgia and ono in
the Antelope valley , this state.
It In simply a land and water syndicate ,
but furnishes colonists as soon as land and
water Is ready fur them. General 0. 0.
Honard Is ono of tbo principal managers.
The office of tbo company IB crowded dally
with applicants for lands , and Inquiries are
coming In dally by the hundreds through
the mall , As the company will push the
work -actively , prospects are excellent for
the establishment of thousands of settlers
In the colony within two years , adding
great wealth to this country , and San
Bernardino being the nearest supply point ,
business of all kinds will be actlvo here.
WYOMING CATTLE SHIPMENTS.
The shipment of cattle over the Denver
Gulf to the ranges of Montana and Wyo
ming has been about completed for this year.
The total number and In sight amounts to
close to 110,000 head , say * the Denver News ,
which Is 10,000 to 15,000 thort of the number
that the road had reason to believe would be
shipped earlier In the season. The falling oft
Is accounted for In the fact that sellers In
Texas , finding there was a brisk demand for
their product , raised the price to a figure
that prevented purchase. ! ,
The ranges of the northwest were never
In better condition. The copious rains of the
past six weeks have made grass to an extent
liurdly known before , or at least not In a
good many years. Cattle landed on the ranges
this year are doing well. A largo percentage
of them have been yearlings and 2-year-oldJ ,
and will not be ready for the beef mar
ket this fall. On account of this fact , taken
In connection with the fact that tha ranges
were nearly depleted of cattle last year , those
owning beeves or cattle to become beeves
this tall are looking for a stiff price.
W. E. Guthrle , one of the best known of
western cattlemen , says that the drouth of
last year In Kansas and Nebraska will have
the effect of stimulating prices this fall. The
farmers of that region found It necessary to
sell off what cattle they had on hand , and the
price to them was no object. It being a matter
of necessity. More poor cattle found their
way to the markets last fall and winter than
have ever been known before. They are out
of the way , and the purchase of stockcra and
feeders has not been brisk enough to cause
the deficiency to bo filled.
CASPER MOUNTAIN ASBESTOS.
Messrs. Currier , Nelson and Johnson , the
well known asbestos miners of Casper moun
tain , the other day brought In 500 pounds
of flber from their new discovery that sur
prised every ono who saw It , says the Wyo
ming Derrick.
The late find Is beyond the old diggings ,
and Is mudh better both In quality and
quantity ; In fact , experts say It Is fully
equal to any of the Canadian product.
We have samples of the flber and also
of the rock , just as It was taken from the
mines. This rock shows fully one-half flber
and comes from a six-foot vein. It Is as
fine as silk and of that beautiful greenish
shade which Indicates the best quality. U
la from one-fourth | nch to three Inches In
length , and can be spun Into a fine thread ,
llko silk , by twisting It In tlio fingers.
The Derrick says that there are tons of
asbestos now on the dumps at the new mines
on the mountain that Is fully equal to any
produced In Canada. It means Just what It
says , and can substantiate Us statements.
The boys have worked quietly for months
to fully verify the value and extent of their
find before making It public , and Casper
people all rejoice that their efforts have met
with such marked success.
Shipments will soon bo made to eastern
asbestos works , which we believe will open
the eyes of manufacturers to the value of
the Casper asbestos deposits.
GOODBYE , POTATO BUG.
Prof. Koebelo , who found out that the Aus
tralian ladybird was sure death to some
varieties of California orchard scale , has again
been heard from as the discoverer not only
of moro useful scale parasites , but of an In
sect which feeds on the larvae of the potato
bug. The Importance of the latter find will
be understood by all who are familiar with
the ravages of the Colorado beetle In potato-
growing states during the past twenty years ,
s-ays the San Francisco Chronicle. The slow-
crawling Insect with Its unappeasable appe
tite for potato vines has cost American farm
ers millions of dollars annually and has en
riched the manufacturers of parts green and
of spraying apparatus.
Prof. Koebelo found the much-wanted para-
slto In Japan , where he Is at work upon vari
ous lines of entomological research for the
Hawaiian government. As yet he has made
no report upon Its scientific characteristics ,
but has mentioned the discovery and dwelt
upon Us Importance In letters to his wife ,
who lives In Alameda.
By a recent steamer Prof. Koebole sent the
State Board of Horticulture a small number
of ladybirds of two varieties peculiar to Japan ,
which , ho believes , will multiply rapidly In
this climate and do great good In the citrus
and deciduous orchards , where the black and
white scale and the moalte bug have been
making their depredations. Some of these
parasites will be ready for distribution In
two weeks , and-some of them cannot be
given out before spring.
It Is highly Interesting to watch the de
velopment of the ladybirds from the larvae ,
as may bo done at the rooms of the horticul
tural board. The Insect , In Its embryotlc
state , Is placed In n largo glass Jar , the orifice
of which Is then covered with thin cloth.
Besides the larvae the Jar contains twigs cut
from scale-Infested trees , BO that when the
Insect Is developed It may find Its natural
food. The ladybirds , which have so far been
Incubated , are lively and Industrious , and are
rapid breeders. The horticultural people
have great hopes of them.
A FAMILY OF SNAKE CATCHERS.
There Is a queer character In Sheridan who
Is called "Rattlesnake Jack , " says the Buffalo
Voice. He makes a business of catching
wolves and rattlesnakes. Whllo In Sheridan
not long since we saw him and his two chil
dren , a boy of 12 and a girl of 10 , going about
the streets with their snakes. The boy and
girl each had one around their necks and the
old man had a sack full , which ho would
empty on the pavement , and while they were
rattling and hissing at every ono else , he
would pass his hands over them and they
would seem to be charmed and would allow
him to pick them up without striking him. It
Is said ho will approach the most savage
snake on the prairie and pick It up with
his hand.

OLIVES AND OLIVE OIL.
Near Guernevllle and on the Forestvllle
road Is the largest olive orchard In Sonoma
county , nnd probably one of the largest In
the state , says a Santa Rosa dispatch to the
Sau Francisco Call. It Is owned by Dr. Pro-
sek. There Is 100 acres of orchard , with
8,500 trees. The crop last year was ten
tons and this year will bo about thirty tons.
Dr. Prosek built the first olive mill In
Sonoma county In 1S94. The building Is forty
feet wide and sixty feet long , with an en
gine house 14x20. An eight-horse power en
gine generates the pressure.
Immediately on picking the olives are put
Into a novel crusher , the first of the kind
In the state. In the crusher are two granite
wheels , which weigh 1,500 pounds
each , and revolve on a flat gran
ite elab. The wheels are reversible ,
and can bo raised or lowered ac
cording to the size of the olive. Latest Im
proved scrapers , which keep ttbo piste under
the wheels , have supplanted much work in
that operation , an arrangement having been
made whereby it empties Itself by two or
three revolutions of the wheel. The crusher
has a capacity of two or three tons dally ,
both first and second grinding.
A hydraulic press receives the paste , and
the Juice Uiat comes out goes Into a separ
ator , which separates the oil from the water
of the vegetation. When settled and clear
the oil Is filtered and bottled , and Is then
ready for market.
Last year was a dlstaitrous one for olives
and yet the output of oil was 250 gallons.
Dr. Prosek has In his grove thirty-five dif
ferent varieties of olives , and will bud from
those that do best in the locality. The ear-
llest and best bearers are the Nevadello
Blanco , Rubea and Monzanlllo. while the
PolymoriJlia produces the largest olive and
the best for packing. Succetsful olive pack
ers always keep their methods a secret , and
after experimenting for four years Dr. Prosek
has discovered the secret , and this year he
will pack large quantities of his olives.
