A prize of W.000,000 , held out by ttio mer chants of California Is n tempting btut and the young railroad glnnt of the Uocklos pro pose * to cnpturo it. The Uio OninJo roll- roiid property is the most valuablein the west. Despite the enormous expense of pcnolrnllrig canons , tunneling or cllinD- Ing mountains.

In no section of the Imperial northwest arc the forces of clvill/atlon moro energetically at work tlmn in the I'ugot Sound country. As usual the railroads are In the van. A tow yoari ugo the Northern Pacific road pierced Its way into an unbroken wilderness and was balled with loud acclamations of Joy by the dwellers on the northwest coast who have elnco then lived to see tbo building of half n do/.cn prosperous cities on the sites of their Jittlo "villages. Last week the Seattle 6 Northern railroad was com pleted , furnishing connection with the Canadian Paclllo road , and a Seattle news paper thereupon declares Ihut the monopoly of the Northern Paclilo road Is at nn end and coneratulates the people who have heretofore been compelled to patronise it , on the arrival of a strong competitor. Next year will wit ness the completion of a third competitor for the business of that rcclon , thereat ( !

Another Ijost Gntmi Ml no. Nearly every state west of the Rocky mountains bus her Lost Cabin mine , but Idaho lhas her Lost , Tcllurldo. Captain Blcdsoo and Albert Holmes of Halley have spent six wcoks this fall In Dcadwood basin , Shcop mountain , Capo Horn , and Stanley basin , where they went to look for a ledco which Captain Hledsoo heard of in 18S1.

One of those men died during the following winter , and the other was drowned In ono of the rapid mountain streams in 1831. while on ills way to locate the claim. Captain Bledsoo felt con fident from the minute description given him thnt ho could lind the mine , but failed. Some day , like the Lost Cabin of Colorado , it maybe bo reclaimed. _ Is Pyrltlo SineltliiK a Failure ? This is the question asked by the Deadwood - wood Pioneer and answered In the afllrma- tlv.o. The exporlonco of the Dcadwood and Delaware smaller , In which the pyrltlo process wrs employed , was unsatisfactory nud a chnngo to lead smelting is contem plated. "Chlovinuutlon. however , " tlio Pioneer neer asserts , "is n grand success and our sil ver ores can bo snipped out. lu fact , the low smeltinir rate oflercd _ oy Omaha is al most fatal to nny firioltlng process In the bills , nt least any company to compute with Omaha must have aory largo capital , as It takes a capital of $ yCOOO)00 ( ) tn carry on tbo business nt Omaha , nnd this exclusive of the cost of the works.
