C Gold is dead sure of Its market vrllh no quibbling about Us price , nnd the western tlopo Is showing indications of vloldlnB a larger supply than has been produced this many a year.

Sonio eight years ago Colonel J. C. Bullard came from Tombstone , Ariz. , found nnd located in the southwestern part of Yavapal county , in upheaved spurs of the Harcuyar mountains , the Homcstako group of mines , constating of ton claims , as ho then sup posed , very valuable copncr mines. Uo- ccntly , however , ho has found thorn to be the richest of gold mines. The main lodge crops for 8,000 or 4,000 feet crosscuts , tunnola and shafts , showing it to bo from four to twelve foot In width , the deepest shaft being over eighty feet deep , with six feet of ere at the bottom. Samples from various parts of the ledge go from f 25 to fc00 ! in eold , llvo or six ounces of silver and some copper. Colonel Italian ! is conildent with the de velopment ho has done that ho has at least il.OOO.OW In sight. One-half Jmllo east of the Homcstako group nre the claims of H. W. Hullard. Judges from three to 'ton foot in width , crop out the whole length of thn claims. Two shafts linvo boon sunk fifteen anil twenty- five feet deep , rock from which gous from S'iO to $ lf > 0 free gold. South of this is the claim of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Whltcsldo.

On this claim the ledge crops out ! 100 feet , three or four feet in width nnd goes ? 10 to $150 in ijoht. East of this is tlio Monte Cristo , owned by the same party , who , from the I7O of the ledge , about llf ty foot In width , cropping HOO or 400 foot , and a sample from the bottom of a ten-foot shaft assayed $ Ul.HO ; in gold and two ounces In silver , dreruns that ho willyut bo a verltabloMonto CriSto , the second. Kimln'H Woitltli Not In a letter to the Butte Miner udny or two ngo , Mr. E. P. Suydaui says : "As the wonderful Kaslo-Slocan mining region is creating such intense interest throughout the entire American continent nnd attracting thousands to the country In noarch of business and mining investments , J take the opportunity of writing you. So many seemingly sensational reports have gone abroad of the immense richness of this country that many have become incredulous nnd doubt the truthfulness of the reports , but I can assure you , nnd back It up with my judgment and seventeen years of exper ience In mines and mining , that the half has not been told of the fabulous richness of the veritable treasure vaults. Daily shipments of ore are now being made to Honncr's Ferry , Idaho , and from ttioro shipped to various points for reduction ; and results from these will speak louder than tongue or pen. pen."The silver-lead ores all run from $100 to $500 nnd upward per ton in silver , and from CO to 75 per cent In lead. Although from a dry ere district , ores have been taken that nssay a'way up in the thousands in gold nnd silver. As an illustration ol what these nines ave I glvo an Instance. The owners of a 'group of llvo claims recently refused a cash offer of SiOO.OOO for their property , as they had that value In ere in sight on the surface of three of their claims. Since then they have sunk on the lead and are now taking ere from a six-foot body of rich , clean galena , assaying from $300 to $ 1,500. This property has paid from the grass roots , and Is owned Mid worked by the original locators , all Ulnora. _ Anntlinr Strike at Klislo. A strike ns unusual as it Is rich and ex tensive was made a few days ngo within seven miles of ICaslo , on the north sldo of Lake Kootcnay. The discovery was made by two young fellows named Anderson and Adams. It consists of a six-foot vein of pure yellow ochre , or mineral paint , while run ning parallel with the vein is another about a foot wide , carrying gold and silver in equal quantities. The discovery was made above the 3110V/ line , at a distance nfour miles Inlanu. The ouhro can bo taken out In im- jiiRr.su quantities nnd is pronounced to bo the finest article seen in years. Adams and Anderson brought specimens down for assay the result being considered eminently satis factory. An experienced man hero , when shown the orhro , pronounced it to bo abso lutely pure , anil wont so far as to offer the ilnders (1 ( cents a pound for it lit the mine ho undertaking to erect a mill to pulverize it.

H. Blair of the Nebraska Fish commission will doubtless bo read with In- torost. Speaking yesterday ot the work of the fish commission and the protection ot the flutiy tribe In the waters of the state , Judge Blair said : The Nebraska Fish commission , slnco January I of this year , has distributed nnd caused to bo placed in the waters of this state , In round numbers , upwards of 11,000- 000 wall-oyod plko , 500,000 brook trout , 1'iV 000 rainbow trout , 00,000 lake trout and about 10.0UO yearling Herman carp.

"Unusual interest ts-boinrj taken , in various parts of the state , In the work of the com mission , nnd particularly with reference to tfio preservation of the llsh after they arc distributed and placed In the water. In quiries'of the board are made from distant "Tho points most inquired about nro these relating to aolmng and the obstructions which prevent the free passage at llsh in tlio streams. "Tho commission has been nnd Is being greatly aided by the county papers , and for this It Is very thunkful. A good , healthy public opinion In the several counties ot the state , created and maintained by the news papers , can do quite as much as all the oftl- cors of the law for the protection of ilsh nnd the enforcement of the laws madu for llsh preservation. The legislature has placed no fund at the disposal of the commission for the arrest and trial of these charged with the violation of the laws , and none is neces sary if , In each countyot the state , the news papers nnd the people will take the matter In hand as they should do. The board wishes all the people of the state might have a batter knowledge of the laws relating to the propagation nnd pre servation of llsh , and In order to assist them iu this respect would like to say : That by section iW4 ot Cobboy's edition of the Consolidated Statutes of Nebraska for 1891 , It Is provided that the Board of Fish Com missioners shall have the entire charge and supervision of all public waters pertaining to the collection , propagation , cultivation nnd protection of llsh in this state , und shall adopt such means ns shall , in Its judgment , best promote thu increase and preservation of food ilshcs.

" 'Public waters' within the meaning of the laws , nre , by section 5,00'J ' , declared to embrace all lakes , ponds , rivers , crooks , bayous and streams , except private artlll- cial ponds , subject to the exclusive dominion of single ownership. "This dellnition should bo borne In mind when considering sections 5,063 nnd 5UG'J. ' By tlio lifMt of these sections it is declared that it shall be unlawful for any person to catch , interfere with , injure , or In any man ner destroy or maliciously disturb , to the damage of the private property ot another , the llsh in , or work connected witti , any pri vate llsh pond not exceeding ten acres , in this state.

' IN | f THE CENTER OF fllR CELESTIAL DOME Sermon from the l.lp * tot a Lutheran San- dnjnnd How U ; YVni Spent by the Woman' * Moult anil Foreign MlMlonnrjr rioclotr. Yesterday was a day of moro than usual interest to the Lutheran pcoplo of Omaha. Several of the pulpits of the city were filled by prominent Lutheran clergymen , nnd the "services nt the Kountzo Memorial church , where the Woman's Missionary convention has been hold , draw largo audiences. The morning . sermon was preached by Uov. A. V. Hammu of Baltimore. It was an eloquent and otTcctlva oJTort. The thotne , was the glory nnd shame attached to the cross. In Hobroivs , twelfth chapter and second verse , the sooakcr found a text that sot forth the thought that ttioro was shame in the cross. In Ciallatinns , sixth and fourteenth , the glory of the cross was represented. "Both of tnosa passages speak of the cross , " said Dr. Hamma at the outset. "But ono speaks of the shitma of the cross nnd the other of the glory that is connected with it. In some respects the cross of Christ is a thing of shame and In others a thing of glory. Back as far ns the earliest ages , when the cross was flrst used ns n moans of execution , it was looked upon ns being one of the most .disgraceful Instruments of uoath nnd torture that human hands had ever con structed. Death upon the cross was con sidered the most revolting and disreputable of any of the various methods by which the nations Had of disposing of their criminals , When Christ had been nailed to the cross the laws of man and the hands of his cruel- fyors had done their worst to crown him with infamy. "Symbol of Mnnlilml's Sin. From that day forth the cross bccamo the symbol of man's sin. It Is the embodiment of man's Infamy , liow that cross tells the story of man's ' hate and ingratitude. But there is another view of the cross from which we see it covered with glory. It tells the story of salvation. It reveals to man kind the measureless love of God. On tnat cross hang the sins nnd lusts of the human race , but the blood of the crucllled Savior washes it all and makes it clean. The blood that llowod from tlio cross is sufllciont to cleanse the world from sin. Hero is the glory of the cross. Prior to the story of the cross , man did not see or know the full extent of God's love for the human race. When in the last bitter mo ments of agony the Uedeouiur lifted his voice and said , 'Father , forgive them for they know not what they do,1 a glorious Hood of dlvlun light came streaming from the cross to shine down the ages. Blessed cross. Cover it with flowers and lot It shine forth ns a guldoand a clorlous assurance of God's wonderful love and sacrifice not only in this world but through nil eternity. " Wolcouio to the Pearly Outoti. The speaker then turned the trend of thought in a moro personal direction aim asked his hearers wlio , ) , the cross was to thorn. "It is either a glory or a shame to every ono in this audlonco. If you have ex perienced the love of God m your heart and have realized the blcssc'd ' regenerating power of His spirit , then tha't'cross Is a glory to vou. But If you hayo not acknowledged His love and Als power , if you nre hiding from the sj > irit of the Alaster , like some guilty thing , then Ht is a matter of shame and disgrace to you. The cross shall over remain a symbol of pardon to these who seek the Saviour's lovo.tmd guidance. I believe wo shall not get through with the blessed symbol hero on earth , but wo will see it in heaven. When wo jipjiroach the gates of the celestial city I believe wo shall see the radiant cross shining from the towers above and wolcomlnir us to our heavenly homo. In the center of the great dome of that eternal world wo shall see the glorious cross in all its beauty. " The congregation then celebrated the holy communion , Uuv. T. J. Turklo conducting the preparatory services. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock a praise service was held , which was attended oy a very largo audieuco. Mrs. D. K. Wundor- lich of Chamborsburg , Pn. , led the mooting and was ably assisted by many of the active workers in the convention. UvonlnK Sonloii ol Lutherani. Notwithstanding the oppressive tempera ture , the congregation of Kountzo Memorial church last evening was of proportions that lllled the structure. "Homo Missions and Ch irch Extension" was the topic considered , and the exercises were under the direction of the Womans' Homo and Foreign Mission ary society , the meeting being' a continua tion of these of the eighth blounial conven tion of that organization , now in session. Mrs. H. A. Ott of Free-port , 111. , presided. After the devotional exercises , the program was devoted to reports' from various homo missions , the remarks being descriptive and explanatory of the work and pressing needs of the respoctlvo missions , rather than sta tistical. Mrs. A. V. Hamma of San Francisco told of the Lutheran work in the church's com- parativnly now field of California , nnd in terested the congregation to some length in a descriptive historical sketch of that earthly paradise of sunshine and llowors. . Uov. H. A. Ott of Freeport , III. , told of the mission nt that placo. Ho said ho promised four years ago to have it aelf-susttiining before the tlmo for holding this convention , . rolled around , and ho was hero to say his ' premise had boon fulfilled , as on thu 1st of last April his people had made up their minds that they were able to make both ends moot without further assist .0t ance from the society , and hud returned 5100 ) sent to them. This had been accomplished by standing ilrm , In face of the fact that nt ono tlmo the advisability of giving up the mission was seriously considered. The speaker submitted a few llgurc.s to sro w that it cost the Presbyterians $ UU for each now member taken into that church last year , while the Lutherans expended but $15 for each now member received by them during the same length of time. filrs. C. W.

A StrniiRO lilt ot the Footstool OtT the riorliln Const. The strangest bit of land north of Flor ida lies qulto near ruined Fort Caswoll. This is Smith's island , or Bald Head Island which , by refer ence to a map. will bo found to project nearer the Gulf stream than any other land on this continent. The result is that it is subtropical , the palmetto reach ing a height of thirty foot or moro and growing in profusion , while the ollvo and the myrtle are abundant. A greater peculiarity is that frost does not nlTect vegetation on the island. The lat ter is about four miles long and three miles wide. On it is n lighthouse , built in 1817 , and a lifcsivving station. Ex tending across it , is n heavy earthwork , built by the confederates in 1801 , now n vast line of sandbank. The plnco Is a lumtor's paradise six months in the year. The island waa recently purchased for 82.5,000 , by a Chicago man , who will build a hotel , and utili/o tlio great forest of live onk nnd palmetto for a game pro- sorvo. This island is a bit of Florida anchored oft the North Carolina coast. For two centuries wrecks have oc curred along1 this stretch of coast , and looking seaward there are moro signs of partially submerged blockade-runners which cntno to grief. Money is frequently exposed by the washing a\yny of the beach. Ono night in 1804 a party landed thcro , and digging n hole , hid in it $175,000 in gold. Ever since this has been searched for. The pilots say that there are grounds for boloif that just after the war the money was dug up by a man who lived in that sec tion , but others do not believe this , and it is only n short time slnco several per sons from Now York , Washington , Phil adelphia , and Norfolk made search for the treasure. They used divining-rods nnd explored hundreds of places on the the island , working day and night. EDDY CHANGED HIS LUCK. Now Ho Tolls n 1'rotty Good Dsli Story lIlniBoir. New York Herald : "It amused us a good deal that Eddy did not catch onto our lish lies , and wo used to speculate how long it would take him to do so. "One morning wo all gathered at the sta'.ion and Eddy's faeo was radiant. This surprised us , for thu early hours before sunrise had boon BO exceedingly foggy that wo thought no trout could see a tly , aud as that was Eddy's morning to flsh tlio pond we all expected to find him bluer than over. " 'Boys , I had amazing luck this morning , ' exclaimed Eddy , and there was a ring ot exultant sincerity iu his voico. 'It was frightfully foggy and I could not see my lly after I had cast it , so I did not expect anything , but the trout took it in a way I never heard of , much less saw before. It boat any of you follows' catches all hollow. I kept pulling thorn in and pulling them in till I stopped out of sheet" consideration for you. " 'This is downright murder ! I snicl to myself ; the lish are crazy , and I won't clean out the entire pond and leave nothing for the other fellows ! " 'So I filled my basket from the Hop ping pile I had collected on the banlc , throw the remainder back into the pond and started for homo. " 'Just then the wind sprang up , the sun came out , the fog rolled away in im mense banks , nnd I found that I had not boon within 100 yards of that blamed old pond at all. " 'I swear to you boys , I had been catching those lish right out of the fog1 ! "Eddy had caught on. " TUocIculo Itituiicrn' 1'ariidUc. In war times little Smithvillo , N. C. , was a lively town. In no place in the entire confederacy save this was specie in any way current. There gold and silver , mainly the former , were plenti ful , and pilots who received as much as S5,000 in gold for taking out or bringing in a vessel lived in handsome stylo. Some of these yet live there , but their "Hush times" long since ended. It was "oasy couio and easy go" with them. Most entertaining stories these pilots toll. It is really very remarkable that the blockade runners could pass tlio fleet as they did. The darker and "nastier" the night , the moro agreeable was it to these little vessels , and they often crept by under the very bows of a man- of-war on the lookout for them , The night Fort Fisher surrendered tlio lust blockado-runnor crept in. Her captain and pilot were astonished when they re ceived no response to their signals , secretly made to tlio people at Fort Cas woll. Instead they saw -flames here and there from the burning buildings. Up tins river all was still. The great bom- burdmont of Fort Finher , which , at Smithvillo , had made tlio air quiver with its concussions , wai ended. The blockader crept in and made its way to Smithvillo. In the early morning hours tlio news was told the people on the vessel - sol of the fall of Fisher , the maiuh of tlio federal forces upon Wilmington , and what many of the half-stunned people ple believed wus "tho end of all tilings. " Tlio blockade-runner at once loft , her departure being entirely unopposed , and . got away buck to Nassau , the then base of supplies from whence she had come.
