True , an old tlrao Colorodo miner , prospector and speculator , has Just returned from n several months , itour In northern Now Mexico , where ho has been prospecting mother earth for anything of value that might bo awaiting the miner's pick and shovel. The colonel reports a num ber ot valuable finds , most of which are larpc beds of anthraclto and bituminous coal. Ho made a number ot coal land locations and returned to Denver to tnako his reports to a number of Hlo Grande officials , who are in terested In his prospecting ventures. Colonel True claims to have discovered the snurco of the supply of the placer beds of the San Juan rivor. Ho says the true source Is In the bltr cement beds near > Ignacla , near the dividing line between Colorado and Now Mexico. lie brought back with him a num ber of mineral specimens , seine of which ho found himself. Others vtoro secured from Navajo Indians , who are the principal Inhab itants of that section of the country , The coal fields ho reports as a continua tion of the largo veins found In La Plata county , and ho claims the supply Is practi cally inexhaustible. The country Is rough and hard of access , but rich In minerals of all kinds. The valleys of the San Juan are the irult growers' paradise , lack of market for the product ot the orchards being the ouo great drawback. In addition to having spent years In pros pecting , Colonel True is something of an en gineer , and ho reports that a feasible line for a railroad Is presented by following up the the Chama rlvor from ChanuU , N. M. , and crossing the continental divide near Juantta at the head waters of the San Juan , thence down the mountain to Furmlngton , keeping close to the course of the San Juan rlvor. The CUUB liny llntlrond. The Coos Bay , Rosoburg & ICastorn rail road is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible , although the Inclcmont weather has worked great disadvantage to the contractor , U. A. Graham. The cars are now running to Coqulllo City from Marshfiold and for some distance nbovo Coqulllo City. Toward this point the valley seems to bo allvo with men and teams. Coqulllo City Is eighteen miles from Marstiflold , and Myrtle Point Is nlno miles above tno former place. The company expects to complete the road to Myrtle Point by August 1 and will continue toward Rose burg this fall. The distance from Myrtle Point to Rosoburg is about sixty miles , with the Coast mountains Intervening , so It is hardly probable that the road will reach Roscburg before another year , unless the people of Rosoburg will raise subsidy sufll- clont to satisfy the company to commence the grading from that end of the route. The Coquille valley Is a very productive locality and with its extensive coal fields and rich quartz mines affords wonderful re sources that are comparatively undeveloped , from the heretofore Inaccessibility of the country and remoteness from market. There are now bright prospects for this valley. The Salmon mountain quartz discovery is about thirty miles from here , and this town Is tlio distributing point for that section. Late reliable reports are very encouraging , and exports who have passed the winter In examining the different lodges report very favoraoly. In fact , it is now conceded that the bolt of precious metal is very rich , and tboro Is no doubt that stamp mills will bo in operation on several lodges this season in that locality. bovon ItlcU Vein * Discovered. The locating of over fifty claims during the past ten days , the arrival of prospector : from both east.and west , and the hourly re ports of strides that roach Columbia Falls from the scenes of mining activity , throe miles cast of the city , glvo an idea of th'i degrco to which almost every subject has given place to mining. Kvorybody talks It and the prospectors are the busiest lot 01 men In the Flatl.cad valloy. The ere now being brought in looks much better than the samples of ten days ago. Llko nil excite ments of its kind , thcra are various opln Ions , and thcso are expressed on the street In the notols , and oven private residence ! are the scenes of discussions on mining. Some handsome ere has been broucht it from the Columbia claim , located on To a kettle , two miles north of town. The owner : of this claim are going twenty foot bofon assaying. The vein Is silver-gold bearing forty-seven inches wldo at the surface , between tween grnnito walls. The owners are Glofcr Robinson and Stranahau. Development work Is being done on thi Golden Hoof , Sunset , Last of April , Ma : Day and several others. Experts who havi carefully gene over the Columbia mountain three miles cast of this city , say there ar < seven largo mineral-bearing veins runnlni parallel along the west sldo. Assays of th specimens sent out run with the usual dlvci slty from ono to 120 ounces of silver am from a trace to $31 In gold. The variety o mineral found in the mountain Is puzzling t some , as copper , lead , silver and cold ar found together in some places , whllo in otho spots on the same load ono or the other 1 found wholly alone.

The Recorder will de tail tomorrow the euro of several consumptive patients at Wards Island under the direction of the city authorities. As only charity patients in the last stage of consumption are admitted there , the Recorder claims the euro for which it awarded Dr. W. R.

It says also that the Cincinnati doctor has agreed to keep the hospital supplied with medicines sufficient for all Its consumptive cases at his own ex- pcnso. As only third .stage cases uro taken there no more severe test could bo invited. Whllo It Is now generally admitted that the Ainiek discovery is a certain specific In the earlier staces of consumption , Amick has never heretofore claimed that it would euro more than 20 percent of third stage con- sumptlvos. In this test just made by the city three out of four were cither cured or astonishingly benefited. It is easy enough for any sufferers from the disease to test the new discovery through their family physi cian , for Amick sends medicines for the pur pose free of cost and invites impartial test of it by the medical profession every where I'cat or a Mind Header.
