or , lias recently entered the market ot
Jbrcclous stones with a really line output ot

jnoso changelings of prophecy. This now in-
Blustry has nttmcted quite n crowd of pros

itas not yet attained tlio height of that
Bvhlch carried so many bravo men to Califor

Kible Influx of capital , brains , brawn and

T.t , ono period in Its history , far b.ick In some

t'vor.vwhoro on the rocka , and lava nbounds.
t 1 * In those favored spots where the tem-
Ricrnluro was Just right that the opals are
found.
1 The first thing to attract the + attention of
the visitor Is the number of what at first
.cum to bo lurgo ash piles , but which on
j-losor oxnmlnntiou nro fouud to bo heaps of
| lccomposed lava. In these piles are found
line opal glass , ground up by some unknown
'orce , and these nro sure sinus that there
ire some opals near by. Another sure sign
s what is called opal "bloom , " a composite
lUelc that powders easily , of a bluish green
Bhuo , which uisplnys color and a slight do-
Trtrco of boat w hen touched to the tonguo.
JWIicrover this bloom Is found opals are not

[ Savornl of lliom hnvo been sold at 10. Quito
u number have boon shipped to Now York
nnd have boon examined by experts , who
pronounce lliciu very valuable and genuine
opals beyond all doubl. . . , . ,
The opals nro found iu iho rock , imboiidod
fthoro like raisins in Iho depths of'n ' hilgo

aldo , The St. Ixnits Mining company nof

fondant. Ttio Montana company owns iho
celebrated Drum Kuinmon nimo , which was
discovered by Thomas Cruse , a poor minor ,

The present trouble being experienced bo-
twccn cattlemen nnd cnttlu ruallors In the
region north of the Ulaok Hllla bid * fair to
result In nn open war which will outrival
tno fnmoui wnr between the cattlemen and
the rustlers In Wyoming something over n
year ago. Not long ago n small stockman
nnincd Orlando Olios , wns found dead nbout
ton miles from his ranch on North Grand
river near Whlto IJuttes. There had boon
considerable talk about Olios for a long
tlmo. lie had a small bunch of caUlo on the
range , but had been hauling dressed beef to
Dickinson , N. D. . all winter , without ma
terially diminishing his own herd. For some
reason ho never exhibited any hides of the
numerous animals he Was slaughtering , and
there were mahy cowbo.xs and tiattloincn
who were convinced that ho was killing
other people's cattle forhls Individual profit.
This belief was the cause of his death , The
nulhoriilcs wcro rcquosled to Investigate
the murder , but they nro ovtdrnlly intimi
dated by the rough chnraclcrs who Infest
Ihut region nnd no nrrcsts have yet been
made.
A cowboy who arrived at Spearllsh brings
information that scouts are on the range
every dny , nnd thnt no ono can rldo any dis
tance without seeing a horseman on some
high hill quietly taking In iho country with
the nld of n telescope. Nothing escapes their
vision , nnd it would bo impossible for the
stockmen to get a band of men together for
the ! purpose of cleaning out the rustlers
without attracting the rustl < rs' attention.
The ; rustlers say they will not leave , al *
. lliouuh notice has been served on thorn to
depart. . . The natural consequence is that n
bloody wnr mav bo Iho outcome of Iho mur
d'i
der of Oilcs. The cattlemen nro determined
to stop thodcpredntion& of the rustlers , who ,
on the olhcr hand , nro equally determined
to stny In that country.
Orstriiotlnn nf .Salmon Traps In Oregon ,
Between Chinook nnd Sand island , across
Baker's bay for a distance of thrco miles ,
are over ftOO llsh traps , each of thorn costing
at least $1,000. The most valuable of these
were built of heavy piles along the cdgo of
the main channel of the river.
Fifteen of the latter were completely
washed away insldo of nn hour last week by
the strength of the current , which also did a
great deal ot damage to the traps nearer the
Washington shore.
They wcro valued at $1,500each , making n
total loss of 2.500. In addition to Ibis Iho
damngo done among other Iraps is fully ? < > 0-
000. H. A. Seaborg of Ilwaco Is one of Iho
heaviest losers.
The whole of the piling of the demolished
trajis , including nil thogoarand braces , wns
washed clean out to sea , and nt daylight not
a vestige remained of any of Iho salmon
snares that last night bordered the river
channel held by deep driven limber and
thousands of solid stakes. To work this de
struction iu so short a time the freshet must
have hud an enormous power , for every pile
that hold the traps was driven through
heavy beds of clay and sand in Baker's bay.
It will bo impossible to replace nny of
them this season , nnd us the structures
nearest the channel caught n great majority
of the llsh the indirect loss , in addition lo
their actual value , will bo very great indeed.
It is feared that if the currents continue
with their present force a largo majority of
the traps will bo rendered useless , if not
totally destroyed and broken up.
, About 110 ! of the Baker's bay Iraps are
owned In. Astoria , .and should much more
havoc bo worked among them the reduction
In the pack of the season will bo very
marked.

An announcement of the recent snlo of
some timber lands in Skngit nnd other down
soiled counties to some Pennsylvanians says
that ono section has over 100,000,000 feet of '
standing timber on it. This is probably an
over estimate. In reply , the Tncoma ledger
says , wo have sonio pretty tall timber in
Washington , and wo are fond of telling some
tall stories about it , but the oldest inhabi
tant will hardly bo able to believe that a
single section has , been found with as flno a
growth as this on it. Colonel Nick Owens
O\MIS a section in Mason county which has
50,000,000 feet on it , according to Iho cruiser's
estimate , and Nlcir has long been willing to
bet it is the best single section in the state ,
nt least so far as surveys tire made. "
There nro quarter sections in many sec
tions that will scale ii5,000,000 feet , or per
haps moro. The St. Paul and Tacoma Mill
company owns seven trees near Wilkeson
which stand on not moro than four square
rods of ground which have been sealed at
25.000 feet each. This is nt the rate of 7,000-
000 feet per acre , but no such aero exists.
Some cruisers say they have aeon single
acres which would scale 500.000 feet of good
timber , but these statement ? are usually re
garded as very large stories. The 100,000,000
section story is probibly of the same kind.
