Pulse of Western Progress. gHrenatSTTSTfia r fHTrSfFSTfSnag fari fcgTFgfgTtSfrf Clothed with an air of myttcry and tliclr mctilha Mnlccl , a party sailed Into the har bor In the ttcani schooner Excelsior , en route to the gold fields of Alaska , says a re cent report In the Seattle Pcet-lntell.'Kencer ' With almost as much mystery as prevailed in this port , was the party born In Oakland , across the bay from San Francisco , their prltno object seeming to be secrecy. It may lie that they have maps showing the exact locations ot bonanzas on the Yukon , or per haps have a stock ot new divining rods , which , when pointed on the earth , or snow , direct the operator to the precious metnt. Tlioro U ono thing certain , however , and that Is the IUICCOMlth which they person ally keep news from reporters. When a member of the party or one of the crew of the steamer was approached with a request for Information , Invariably the answer would come ! "The man that attends to those things Is away , and will not be back until late. " It was learned , however , not from any one connected with the steamer , that the party consisted of a number of profes sional men of Oakland and 'several repre sentatives of eastern capital. They arc equipped for an eighteen months' stay , and have aboard the schooner hydraulic ma chinery , twenty-one head of horses , lumber , and. In fact , everything needed for a season In Alaska. The destination of the party Is Cook Inlet. The party was organized several weeks ego , and up to.tlio time of calling attempted to keep the papers of Oakland and San Francisco In the dark as to their real ob ject , as the following from the Examiner ot March 10 will show : "Tho parly will take up a great quan tity of supplies and materials with which to operate. They will proceed under an en tirely different plan from that outlined by Captain Johnson. The Walker expedition w 11 have money back of It , and the professional men will not want for comforts In the north , The full details of the trip will not bo given out until the managers are ready to1 set sail , The treasure-seekers will try their hand at hydraulic mining , and considerable machinery will bo shipped on their vessel. " 'Tho professional men have got the gold fever , ' Bald Dr. It. K. Dunn. 'I am. one of them , and have decided to quit business for a whlto and try and become a millionaire in short order. It takes a long time for a dentist to make a million at his business. Dr. Walker has a claim In Alaska that we are going to work. We are not going on any wild geese obas . Our expedition will ba entirely different from the ono that left this city under command of Captain John son. ' " The greater number of the party Is going for an oaotern syndicate and Is In charge of Edward Quyebault. There are also a num ber of practical miners. COLORADO'S "ELDORADO. " Eldorado bids fair to become ono of the best camps In northern Colorado this summer , there being a great deal of development work going on all over the district. There Is not an tdlo man In the camp , says the Denver News , and It Is now an assured fact tlia't three different companies will commence operations In 'the ' spring. Among the most promising properties are- the Mineral Chief , belonging to William Thomas. It Is a large , well-defined , true fissure vein In porphyry. The vein Is opened from end-stake to end-stako by eight tunnels and shafts from twelve to thirty-flvo feet deep , showing from two to six feet of ore , assaying from $8.50 to $41 per ton In gold and ono to flireo ounces in silver. The lower tunnel Is in fifty-four feet and Is to be driven 300 feet moro this spring , to cut the Evangellno at a depth of 176 feet. Henry Weaver of Denver hae had two men ttt work on the Dluo Cut all winter and has some very fine ore In sight , running $27n \ gold and $9.70 In silver. > The Golden Cross shows a largo body of solid ore , four feet thick , which mill-runs $12.05. There has not ibeon much work done on this property , but from surface Indlca- tlona the owners have a prospect that only needs a little developing to become ono of the producers of Boulder county. Work has been resumed on the Fissure , and the owners expect to commence shipping within two months. The Youckey Bros. , have had four men sinking on the Uno all winter. They have now a depth of seventy-five feet , and have made two shipments of ere that returned $115 per ton. They believe they have the lode from which came the rich float found by proDpectors two years ago , assaying 220 ounces In gold. The Hog-back , belonging to McHao & War ren , shows three foot of ere that mill-runs $3C per ton. There are a number of other properties that show good ere being developed as rapidly as possible. ELECTRIC RAILROAD OUTLET. The early constructkn of an electric rail way connecting this city with Saratoga and Congress Springs Is nod regarded as cer tainty , says a San Jose dispatch to the San Francisco Examiner , and the final success of the project will bo extremely gratifying to the directors ot the Board of Trade , who have worked early and late during the past tow months In Its behalf. Such a read will bo ot great benefit to the merchants of this city and the resldenta of the western side of the valley , who will bo thus afforded a cheap and quick means of reaching a market. The action of the Board of Supervisors In granting a franchise for the road to L. M. Halo , was all that was needed In a legal way. Mr. Hale represents an eastern syndi cate , which has agreed to expend $250,000 In building the rad , providing a bonuo of $50,000 bs ralred by the citizens ot the city and those living alcno the route of the pro posed line. Tho'greatrr part of this sum has 'been ' raised by the Board of Trade com- mlttoo , and the balance will be put up In a short time. There Is no doubt of this , as several wealthy citizens have ai.nounced their willingness to make god any deficiency that may oxlst. Survoyoro will take the field in a few days and lay out the preliminary work. Aside from the commercial advantages of the road it will bring within easy access that ones popular resort known as Congress Springs , and numerous Improvements for the entertain- nicnt ot visitors are contemplated In that place. STONES FOR GRANT'S MONUMENT. Wyoming will contribute two largo blocks of graniteto the costly and magnificent Grant monument which Is to be erected In Riverside park , in the suburbs of Now York City , along the east bank of the Hud son river , says the Laramlo Boomerang. a J ra JiSJJ = yj K = 4l54lSiJ = ti = It will b ; remembered that the citizens ot the Empire state have been subscribing to a fund for the erection of a great tab let for a number of years and the amount now subscribed has reached more than $500- 000. Elaborate designs ot the monument have been made and photographs taken from these. Ono ot the engineers connected with the work ot erecting the monument was re cently In Laramle for the purpose of se curing a bid for the quarrlng of two large blocks of Wyoming granlto to be taken from n point near Tlo Siding. James Stir ling ot this ) city made a bid to do the work and It will soon bo known when the rock must b quarried. While the engineer was here ho went out , accompanied by Mr. Stir- ling , and selected the rock which Is to be- come a part of the historical monument. It Is a beautiful granlto , or feldspar , and will make very fine crystalline blocks when finished and polished. These blocks will bo CxSxlO feet In size , and It will tnko from thirty to sixty days to got them to the railroad for shipment. The contract price Is said to be less than $1,000. The monument will be crectod In the park near Illverslde drive , and a great terraced - raced stairway will load from the drive Into the park and neatly to the menu ment. The stone which will bo secured from here for the monument Is ot the same character as that procured for the Hop kins monument In California some years igo. BOUGHT MEXICO'S CAR LINES. After uucccosfulty manipulating a number of big projects In South Africa , and else where , Henry A. Butters of Berkeley , Cat. , has returned to this continent and recently consummated one ot the most Important deals which has been made In the City of Mexico for many years , says the San Fran cisco Chronicle. The transaction was the purchase for an English syndicate of the Forrocarrlles del Dlstrlto or City of Su burban Tramway system of that place , com prising about 200 mites ot steam and animal traction. The actual purchase price Is said to bo $7,750,000 In Mexican coin , but It Is the Intention of the syndicate to spend nearly twice that amount In Improving and ro- cqulpplng the system. Negotiations are already being made for very extensive water rights , with a vlow of developing the neces sary power to operate part of the system with electricity. This will completely revolution ize the existing conditions and convert the City of Mexico Into a thoroughly modern cap ital. Heretofore the city traffic has been more or lets sacrificed to the suburban , but the new company proposes to completely change the service , especially In the direction of accommodating Its city patrons. For In stance. a three-mlnuto service will bo pro vided on some llnea , while In no case will there ba a longer Interval than , flvo minutes between cars. The syndicate , which Is composed of some of the wealthiest and most Influential capi talists of London and South Africa , owns and controls several other enterprises of a llko character , and It Is believed that further Investments In Mexican street railroads will bo made by It In the near future. WHITE GHOST WANTS SILVER. If tha silver question were left to the Sioux Indians to bo decided they would speedily de- cldo It In a manner that would prove per fectly satisfactory to the advocates of free silver coinage , writes a Chamberlain corre spondent to the Sioux Falls Arguo-Leader. The Sioux , are naturally In favor of free sil ver coinage principally because sliver Is more easily counted by them than any other kind of money. White Ghost , the venerable head ot the Crow creek Sioux , In discussing the money question while In town recently ad vanced some peculiar ideas regarding money , which are undoubtedly shared by practically every member of the Sioux nation. He says that when the government pays the people j on his reservation the $198,000 due them he f wants It paid In silver dollars. Gold Is de tested by the Indians because the coins are so small when the sum they represent Is taken Into consideration. White Ghost said ho could not understand why a $10 bill should not bo Just ten times as largeas a $1 bill. Ha thinks the government should Increase the size of bills In proportion to the sum they represent , even If It was necessary that a $100 bill should be as large as a boras blan ket. If the government persists In paying them partly in bills they would Ilka to see the change made. But sliver dollars are what the Indians want , even should they receive them In such quantities that they would have to be transported to their agencies In wagons. PROMISING GOLD CAMP. Camp Carter Is the latest acquisition to the producing mining districts of Colorado. The camp Is about seventy-five miles north west of. Denver , on the Arklns branch of the Gulf road , and Is within sight of Loveland. The Arklns stone quarries are three miles from the camp , says the Denver Nows. F. M. Shaw , traveling passenger agent of the Gulf road , returned from the region , bringing with him specimens of dark-colored quartz that show free gold without the aid ot glasses. Mr. Shaw heard ot the camp and made the trip for the purpose of looking over the ground and noting the Indications for travel Into the district during the coming season. Ho says ho found thirty or forty men working In prospect holes within an of half mile In diameter. " " area a . "The holes , said ho , "are twenty to forty feet deep , and specimens near the surface assay as high as $500 to the ton. One man made two ship ments of ono ton each , which were sent to Boulder. The first shipment returned $52 In gold to the ton , and the second $50,50 In gold. The ere runj two ounces ol silver to the ton. The shaft Is down thirty-two feet and 300 tons of ore are on the dump , running $10 IP gold to the ton. E. H. Berry , the locator cater ot the claim , has decided to sink the shaft fifty feet deeper , and will make use of a horse whim for raising the ore. " Mr. Shaw says ho met several outfits going Into the district , and prospectors on the ground are confident that a permanent camp will be established within thirty days , as tha values seem to lie near the surface and the accessibility of the district holds out In ducements to newcomers. The mineralized territory Ilo3 along the Big Thompson. A otago line will bo established to operate from Loveland , If the movement continues to In crease. The district Is In Larimer county , fifteen or twenty miles south of the Cache la Pourde. Mr. Shaw says the leads are plainly to bo seen ou the surface of the ground , and are very large. Ho was urged by the miners to go with them , and stake off a claim , but not belnc ac customed to mountain climbing , ho reluctantly declined.

THE DAKOTAS. Cattlemen west of the Mlsswurl river arc making preparations for the spring round-up. Day and night shifts , fourteen men , are now employed , attho Sunnysldo mlna at Hills City taking out ore on the seventy- toot level water level. The ore Is being shipped to the smelters at Deadwood. The reported heavy cattle losses In the Black j Hills country and along the Missouri river are without foundation. Ranchmen say the spring round-up will show herds In better condition than tor the pat five years. The clean up ot the mills running on ore from the Bullion mine , Just made at Key stone , shows that the ore ran $3,50 per ton free milling and $5 per ton In concentrator , a total of $8.00 per ton. The ore was mined and milled at a cost not exceeding $1.50 per ton. ' ton.At At Hot Springs the spring term ot the Black Hills Methodist college has Just opened with an enrollment of eighty , being the largest for this term of any year In its history. Its president. Rev. J. W. Hancher , Is on a lecture tour through the Black Hills and Is making a splendid Impression. The air compresses on the Columbia mine at Deadwood ore running , and work In the shaft with power drills has been commenced. The shaft Is now down 120 feet. It Is the Intention to sink It 200 feet deeper , with two drills and three shifts ot men , and they will make over two feet a day. The drills will break as much rock In twenty-four hours as twelve men working the old way. North Dakota promlsej to add to Its prod ucts by becoming a tea growing state. Com missioner of Agriculture Laughlln has dis covered that a colony of twenty Russian families In Mercer county * ralsed tea last year , from seed obtained from Ruasla. The experiment was a decided success and will bo Bontlnued on a larger scale this year. The variety grown Is Astatic Russian tea , and Its quality Is raid to be much better than the black tea sold by merchants. The Mullen Bros. , who llvo north of Whlto Lake , Irrigated forty acres last year from tholr two-Inch artesian well. The well flows 3fiOO barrels of water per day , which ac cording to their figures will glvo 100 acres twelve Inches of water per year. On forty acres they raised an Immense crop. The wheat yielded forty bushels to the acre ; twenty-five ton sugar beets to the aero ; 230 bushels onions per acre , and everything else they planted In about the same proper tion. tion.Tho The contractors on the government artes ian well at Cheyenne agency have struck a flow of gas at a depth of about 400 feet. Tula Is an Indication that the area of the etato In which natural gas can bo secured covers an extensive field , being at least fifty miles long by at least twenty-five miles In width. J This has already been proven , and further work may show that the gas area Is much larger. The theory of many Is that the main gag reservoir has never yet been reached , the borings not going deep enough , and that a well pushed down about 2,000 foot would strike a flow which would be of great commercial value. A now region In South Dakota Is going Into irrigation this year. The stockmen along Whlto river are many of them irri gating by drawing water from White river. Major Anderson has put In a large water elevator , which he- will run by a seventeen- horsa power gasollno engine. This will Irri gate 100 acres of alfalfa. John Masslngale , known as "Missouri John , " used a tread mill hcrae power last year , with good suc- cess. If alfalfa can ba started on the broad sand bottoms of White river , the country will settle very rapidly. Cattle and sheep never looked finer at this season of the year , and the deep snows Insure a coodP grass crop. COLORADO. A strike Is reported to have been made in the Gem mine , on Seaton mountain , near Idaho Springs. The Squaw mountain tunnel at Victor Is at present engaged In taking out ore that runs better tbin $4,000 per ton. The cattlemen of Huerfano county are doing a land office business this spring. So far $12,000 worth have been shipped" The New York tunnel , which enters Bull Hill at Squaw gulch , Cripple Creek , Is now in 1,100 feet , and work is steadily advancing. At Cripple Creek the 'new ' owners of the Alrheart have struck a five-foot vein of ore- at a depth of 365 feet that averages between flvo and six ounces. The etrllto of the Olson brothers In the Argent at Aspen grows b&tter each day. They are now taking ere from a five-foot ledge that runa between 300 and 400 ounces. R. S. Grant , lessee of the Mattlo L. , on Gold hill , owned by the Jefferson company , Is producing at the rate of 400 tons this month , says the Cripple Creek Journal , and the ore Is running near $1,000 a ton. St. Patrick's day was celebrated in Canon City by the announcement of the first as say of any consequence from rock found In the new Royal Gorge district. Returns were , four and three-tenths ounces , or a cash value of $86 in gold from ere taken Indiscrim inately from the full width of the vein. It contained considerable talc. The recent strike in the Centennial tun nel at Yankee Is a much more Important ono than at flrst reported. The vein Is widening cut as development progreaws. There Is a ten-Inch streak of honey-comb quartz showing free gold which , from assays , allows a value of $200 to theton. . Also a two-foot streak of mill dirt which runs three ounces to the cord In the stamp mill. The rich strlko on the Henrlett. at Red Cliff , adjoining the towns'te ' , where the own ers , William Gay and Prospector Latem , are taking out such fine silver oro. Is awaken- Inc Interest In inlnlne circles. They are In taUInc out ere that assays from $30 to over $350 per ton , working nlona and by hand en tirely. They have a carload shipment at present and the vein lying close to the black porphyry seems to be gettingbetter. . Much excitement was caused by a reported " rich gold strike In a tunnel near Buena Vista. About twenty pounds of ore was brought to town , and Bomo specimens were cxhlb'ted which were completely covered with the yel low metal. Sinking was commenced on Good Indications , and the first blast exposed to view a seven-foot vein of grey quartz , from of which the specimen shown were taken. The owners are highly elated over the strike , so PEN PICTURES PLEASANTLY AND POINTEDLY PUT.

Hlghwood U possessed of a bird of evil omen , says the Chicago Times-Herald. It flow Into the dignified and circumspect vil lage the other night , and the townspeople find nothing like It In the zoologies or the history of things sines the days of the dodo. Is all black , except Its head , which Is white. Its tall Is flat , like a beaver's , but not feathers. It looks half animal and half crow , very like a mixture of quadruped and fowl. TliIt creature of torment to the super stitious roosts the day In a deserted barn and haunts the village at nights with Its uncanny rong. Hunters fear to shoot it , and Wie suburb Is bent on capturing It alive. The description tallies with that ot the lulu bird. at It Is not a miracle.

Some \ery dramatic pccnes are pictured. Harper & Bros. , New York. nichard Harding Davit has been so favor ably Introduced to the reading public by his previous works that his latest book , "Threo Qrlngoes In Venezuela and , Central America , " will dnubtlcsa be greedily absorbed. In this work ho has given the results of a study ( on horseback most of the time ) of the peoples and customs ot the American tropics. His descriptions of the Indolent life ot Ihc Horn duranlans shows that life to bo as near an approach tj the condition of primitive men as one can find ! u this hemisphere. Ono of tha conclusions that ho reaches Is that "tho Central American citizen Is no moro fit for a republican form ot government than ho Is for an Arctic expedition , and what ho needs Is to have a protectorate established over him either by the United Stntog or another power. It dees not matter which so long as It leaves the Nicaragua canal in uur hand ? . "Away from the ousts' , whcro there Is fovcr , " Mr , Harding s.iys , "Central America Is a wonderful country , rich and beautiful , and burdened with plenty , but its people make It a nuisance and an nffrcnt to other nations , and its parcel of Independent little stales with the pomp of power and none of Its dignity are cud will continueto bo a constant danger t > the peace which should cxlrt battteon tfto great powers. " The Illustrations are a veritable panorama of views of Central America from Belize In British Honduras to Panama , through Hon- duron , Nicaragua and Costa Hlca , nnd of La Ouayra and Caracas , In the much-dlscursod republic of Venezuela. Few of the new books are belter or moro profusely Illustrated. Har per K. Broa , Now YorJs. "Tho Apotheosis of Mr. Tyrawley , " by B. Livingstone Prcscott , shows how a little uf lovo's sunshine- sometimes works a noble re demption. Tyrawley's young association was with a rapid set. Ho eschewed honest teller or endeavor , and throw good years away solely on "cards , billiards and their con comitants. " Like many another hero of fic tion It was his luck Just about the tlmo ho had discovered the ueleasness of his exist ence to become the rescuer of a maiden from ( death in the waves. This brings on a fit of elckness , anJ the attendant physician takes a warm Interest In the patient , and maps out a way for him to make amends for a wasted past. It Is uphill work , for Tyrawley Is pursued by enemies In the shapu of alleged good people who make It a con stant task to warn the world against repos ing confidence In the struggling man , and In continually blighting his prospects. Finally Tyrawloy goes to London and starts out as keeper of a fruit stand. He is found by his landlord to bo a long-lost relative , nnd Is made the possessor of an estate. This trust In him is born of the reason that , having a bad past , Tyrawley had shaken himself free of It and got down to redeem himself llko a man. A marriage with the girl of the rescue lo brought about by the doctor's efforts and the "enemies" are discomfited and downed. Harper & Bros , Now York. "Tho Woodlanders" belongs , not to the latest of Mr. Hardy's works , but to the middle - dlo period , In which ho deals with modern life , but with a pamowhat primitive human ity. H belongs to the aamo period as "Tha Mayor of Casterbrldgo" and "Tho Return of the Native. " Both the books have the etched frontispiece which appears in every volume of this edition. The etching In "Tho Woodlandors" Is particularly charming. Harper & Bros. , New York. "James Inwlck , Ploughman and Elder , " Is a Scotch tale told In the dialect of the High lands. Those who love a genuine Caledo nian story with Its pictures of rural life In the land of the Bruce , and with Ita frequent tastes of UoncFt philosophy , will find pleasure - i ure in this work by 1 > . Hay. The story Is filled with the dry , Scotch humor , and is an , analysis of the feeling of the Scotch about the Kirk. A copious glossary accompanies the book. Harper & Bros. , New York. "Dr. Warrlck's Daughters , " by Rebecca Harding Davis , Is an attractive book , both | ns to exterior and interior. The story Is modern , without the modern tendency to dlbcuss the seventh commandment. It Is well written and holds one's attention throughout. The characters , though llfe- like , are not lovable , save for Anne , and ono may question If oven she would bo pleasant to live with. There Is n strain of unhapplness , too , and one feels after readIng - Ing this book that human nature Is very weak and that many need the chance In another llfo to develop and use the gifts and powers given them In this. Harper & Bros. , New York. "Phyllis ot Phyllstla' In a study In hearts. Phyllis , an English maiden , engaged to a speculative , neotheologlan Church of Eng land preacher , point blank refuses to marry 111 in because ho ventilates higher criticism views against the bible. Her orthodoxy rebels and Holland gets his walking papers , and Phyllis finds she can got along without him. But she la much sought after and finally capitulates to a man who had been dismissed by a girl friend and the girl friend marries Holland , the speculative clergyman , Phyllis had dismissed for heterodoxy ! Hol land , meantime , had advanced far beyond the bible and relapsed Into Buddhism , and , leav- Ing the established church , founded a new sect.
