1 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , NOVEMBER 13 , 1893. GREAT SILVER MINING CAW Kalso-Slocan District Considered the Eicbwt in the World. NEW RAILROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION Sharp Clilnnmrn refine a lUrrr Bottom for nixl Now ClPHF 81COO n Day Mining ID lilnJio Northwestern - western Note * . "Although Kaslo is now considered the greatest silver mining camp In the world , It never will bo as great as was the Corn- stock district , " says a prominent mining man of that section In nn ontorvloiv appear ing In the Portland Orogonlan , "for It must bo rompmbcrod that sliver was twlco as valuable then ns now , and thnt ono mlno nlono paid * 7 ,090,000 In dividends. Still , wo have no v eight mines that are shipping ere as fast us it can bo taken out , despite the fact thai almost Impassable roads make freighting very expensive ; and from COO to bOO very promising nrospoets. which cannot bo dovolopud , owing to the scarcity of capi tal. Not ono of the mines fromwhlch , ship ments have been tnado has averaged lens than 100 ounces per ton , with 00 per cent lead , and sonic of ( he assays run Into thou sands of cornices. "Work on the now railroad , which Presl- donv Hill of the Great Northern Is to build from KusloCity to the head of Dear lakewas commenced last Monday. It will bo pushed ns rapidly as possible during the winter , and will bo completed early In Juno next. Tins road will bo twenty miles in length , and will follow closol.v the wagon road which was built n year ago , ut an expt'use of $30.000 to tap ttio big mines. "The greatest mine In the district at the prostiit tinm Is tlioSlocau Star. This mine is thorougnly equipped --1th gooJ machin ery , is workinir n largo force of men and making lurpe shipments daily. The claim Is made thnt thcio is at least $1,000,000 worth of ere In slcht at Iho present time. The second best mine In the district is probably the Dardanelles , ownoa by1. ! . L. Davenport and others. It is now working a cang of .fifty men and making regular shipments of higu-grudo ore , averaging from 200 to 300 ounces of sliver and CO per cent , lead. XVondrrlully Ulcli Oro. "Tho dry ore belt discovered about three months ago on the shores of Dear lake , is now receiving , a great deal of attention , and it is , in m.v opinion , the croatest find yet made In the district. The lodges are much narrower than these of the load ere * , but the ere Itself Is much richer. The Miner Boy , in which I purcltased a one-fourth interest at the time of its discovery for $3,51X1. is at the present time ono of the most promising mines in the belt , and I have recently been oflorod $ l3r ! > 00 for my Interest. The vein on this claim has been traced clearly for a dis tance of 1.500 feet , and is from fifteen inches to five feet in width , showing exceptionally hiuh crado oro. Assays run from 300 ounces to G,8f > 0 ounces ncr ton. A shipment sent to San Francisco ahout three weeks ago , taken from the ledge without selection , showed an average assay at the sampling works of 393 ounces per ton. "Does It pay us to shin ere at the present price of silver ? Well , I euuss it does , de spite the tact that freighting is very high. When the now railroad is completed it will run within thrco miles of the Minor Boy. At present it costs $23 per ton to haul ere that three miles ; $1 per ton from that point to Kaslo City twenty miles ; $11.50 per ton from there to San Francisco. Then the cost of mining is $15 par ton , and the smelter charges are $20. In the face of ( these diffi culties vro still manage to make pretty good profits. "ICaslo City has recovered from its real estate boom , and is now a nice little town of 800 inhabitants. It is the American class of mining men who have opened up the Ktislo- Slocan district , and that fact rather 'riled' the Canadian authorities at first , but the hatcbct has now boon burled. The Cana dians Join with the Americans in celebrating the Founh of July , and the latter always are ready for a good time on the queen's birthday. " No FlicH an tliu Ilcntlicn Clilnce. D. W. Burnett is the owner of a piece of land on the American river , near Salmon Falls , El Dorado county , Cal. The river bed there for 100 or 200 yards had never been mined. riorao Chinese made him un offer to lease this laud for mining purposes for two years , offering o pay him $100 for the use thereof , SIIVH the Folsom Telegraph. Tills was declined. The Chinese were persistent , thouch and , after bartering for a while , Mr. Burnett told them they could have the land for the time staled for Jl&O , ouo-hatf to bo paid in advance and the balance lit the end of the year. The offer was accepted , and Mr. Burnett was congratulating himself on his bargain and considered the $75 to have come into his possession easily. He wus not long in changing his mind. As noon as the lease was signed the Chinese began to work. A force of eighteen or twenty men were employed by "them. A wing dam was built and a wheel and other apparatus put up there , the cost of which was not over $400 or S500. Several days after it was rumored that the mine was producing (1,500 a day. An In vestigation disclosed tne fact that the heathens had sent away $ Sf > 0' ) worth of dust within a week after they began worn. Several thousand dollars wortli of dust was also disposed of in Chinatown laud handed over to one of the Chinese merchants there. Ilolsu Ilaulu Booty.

He appeared in the batilc there with tome old worthless chocks , ou which ho demanded immediate payment. Cishier Baxter refused , of course , but it took a great deal of persuasion und consider able time to induca Buckley tu t he WM not being defrauded out of his rights , After he \ra ejected from the bank he saw a now brick building In course of construction. Ah ! this is a government building find I will sco about It , " ho said. Then he tooic a position where ho could oversee the work , and for over an hour he ordered the me chanics About , for he said us president of the United Stales he had a perfect right to do so. Ho showed a disposition to remain In Sebastopol , and It was only by ft clover ruse of Dr. Bonefo that ho was started on * to his homo. The doctor told him that his posses sions In Blucher valley were in dancer of bel g gobbled up by a foreign power" If ho remained longer in Scbastopol. Buckley at oaco hurried out ot the town , being followed to the outskirts of the place by a crowd of children , who regarded him with wonder mixed with fear. Buckley uses good language and must have received the benefits of a good education.

A number of county olllcurs have Inter viewed Buckley in his lair , and most of thorn agree that U is n dUznice for the county to leave him In his hole In the ground. Ho has torn most of the brush away from the pen and thcro Is nothing between him and the stars , When the great rains como ho gets soaked through ana through , but ho says ho doesn't care for that that the sun always comes out after a storm and drys him off again. Aftrr I'luli Commissioner Schnltger says ho has ar ranged lo purchase 100OJO brooic trout eggs from the Now York state hatchery and they will bo delivered at Laramie about the 13th of this month. Ho tried to got 'JOJ.OOl ) eggs from thu United States hatchery , but they wrote to him that It was the practice now to send the fry Instead of the eggs. Mr. Schnlttcr says they have brooders enough at the hatchery to take 1,000,000 eggs , but that they have capacity for 1,500,000. They will not finish taking eggs until next June. New zinc trays huvo beenordered4 for the nliio new troughs in the addition to the hatchery. Struck ttolil with n Log. Snoqualmlo falls. Washington , have de veloped an attraction not down on the guide books. The story Is vouched lor by reputable men working on that stream , says the Seattle Telegraph. A big piece of quartz boulder , rich in the precious metal , has been scoured from nn unknown depth directly undenmath the huce fall of water , ana the most wonderful part of the story is the manner in which this sparkling ana precious stone was se cured from a place almsst unapproachable. Running logs over the 'JCS-loot fall has been a custom for many years past , and thcro Is no prettier sight in the world than to see the giant sticks shoot out into space and then arop , head on , into the roaring water below. During the shooting of the logs one par ticular lug went over recently und shot straight downward and was snon lost in the pool below. After it had risen to the surface and floated down stream it was s cen to have u rock imbedded iu one end , and upon examination was found to be quartz , rich in gold. The only explanation is that the log , m the maa plunge into the pool'under the falls , came in contact with some ledge of gold with force enough to imbed the piece found in the firm wood. > Strike In Kl raso. In the main the wonderful strike in the Catherine , reported Saturday , is true as the story was first given out , says the Colorado Springs Telegraph. It Is by all odds the biggest and richest discovery of treasure that has yet boon made In El Paso county. During the past forty-eight hours there has been a wild rush to Ilaven hill. Properties in the neighborhood of the Catherine have increased several hundred oer cent In value. This marvelous find is proving an Incentive for renewed activity in development , not only of that locality , but la other portions of the camp as welt Word from the mine has it that a force of armed men is guarding the workings. Visi tors continue to arrive. All who have seen the bonanza treasure agree that the account sent out Saturday , while somewhat enthusi astic , is practically sorract. Iliglrwuymnu Lunatic.

I'Bttcrnoii Sprnl < nf Chance * Iiuproroil by Ambition * Munliuocl , At the First Presbyterian church last night thcro was a special service in the in terests of young men. Secretary Ober told the congregation what the Young Men's Christian association was doing for the younc men of Omaha. Rev. T. M. Patterson made n brief address on the power of young men. He said , In part : "Youth has always and everywhere been the moulder of civilization. Goethe declared that the destiny of any na tion nt any given time depends upon the opinions of thu young men under 25 years of ace "Thoolder shall serve the younger was the prediction of the farseeing patriarch. In every potent clement of civilization God has made young men the leading factor. In literature John Milton , the man who- saw more without eyes than any other man saw with eyes , wrote his wonderful hymn ou the 'Morning of Christ's Nativity' when but 21. Pope wrote Ills essay on 'Criticism' which placed him in the front rank of pools when 24. Shakespeare Degan his unmatched literary career In his twonlics. Bums , Iho Immortal poet of Scotland , died while the dew of youth was on his brow. "Horace Greeley was but 80 when ho founded the New York Tribune. Michael Angola produced some of his most marvelous works of art In his youth. Isauc Newton made a sun dial when ho was 12. Humboldt , at the ago of 20 , published a volume on the 'Formations on the Rhine.1 Washington was the rising hope of the colonists at 2S. Alfred the Great succeeded to the crown when but 21. William , Prince of Orange , sat among the fathers , wise and discreet as > any of them , when 18. Alexander won his first battle al 18. "Calvin wrolo his Inslltutes' at the ace of 20. Luther won Germany when but 25. Paschal wrote his immortal provincial letters al the age of 23. Joseph , the youngest son of his father , was made prime minister of Egypt. The child Samuel was chosen to ba n prophet in Israel. It was the young man John Ihe Baptist that , was the Lord's fore runner. Jesus , the'world's redeemer , had finished his work when but 83. Do you not see the slralogie pointrthe young men have held in the world's hlstpyy t "He has nol been a private , but captain ; not a pupil , but a tcacher [ ; not clay , but pot ter ; not private citizen , but ruler. And the young man of today is in no less demand than lu pastyears. . This is the young man's era. 'Ho is wanted everywhere. The "dead lino' ' Is creeping into other pro fessions aside from the1 n inistry , even into business. Ho is wanted , by business , society , politics , professions , and1 also'by saloons and gambling dens , who want him'not to turn the crank , but to furnish the I do not sympathize with those who would give young men undne prominence those who would take the crown of glory from the hoary head ; these who place young men above the old in matters "requiring the most mature judgment. < - * "Old men for counsel young men for war. " Age should guide , the world by Its wisdom , but younginen should do the work. The old an'd young should always be asso ciated , that the sound judgment of the old may be made efficient by the enorgy.of the young. But it is true every great cause has triumphed by consecrated youth. Emerson said to the young men , 'Hitcn your wagon tea a star. ' star.Vo might paraphrase it , and say to the reformer of today 'hitch your cause to a young man. ' "We need _ this power arising from the faith and energy and hope of youth consecrated crated to the cause of the state and city and church. In this new west we need good young men to mould our civilization. We need them to save our cities. We need them to lead the church to the exercise of her rightful power. And I have confidence that they will. ' Men often give discouraging statistics concerning the drift of the young men. They tell us the saloons and penitentiaries get more than the churches. "But let us look at the facts that Inspire hope in our hearts when we pray and nerve our arms when we fight. Isever were there so many In the'Y. M. C. A. and ns for the Y. P. S. C. E. , it has had the largest Chris tian conventions in the world's history. "Never were there so many young men in the churches. 1 know there nro enouch dis couraging facts , but here's my bund and heart for the hopeful man. Give such men the floor. Aud don't forgot that majorities have always been with sin bu't ono shall put thousands to flight. ' Men are to he weighed as well as counted and when weighed the majority are for Christ. " Mr. Patterson went on to show why the Young Men's Christian association was adapted to the work of guiding the power of youth. He said ho boliovcd in the Young Men's Christian association because it honored the church , because it was orthodox , and bocausa it became all things to all men that it might by all means win some.

ALONG THE LINE OF RAIN MAKING Hnccno Tarpln II * * I'ntrntoil n Cyclone IXmtroyi-r Which He Think * Will Trorn to lie of Vnltm In Autfirlcm. The Para tornadoes or tornado destroyer is the name of , n machine contrivance which may well take rank as ono of the most imbltious inventions of the ago , says n Paris letter. The power of this now weapon against a terrific enemy has not been tested yet. First , because It is scarce n month sihco the brain of Tttrpln , its inventor , do- slgned It ; second , because there have been no tornadoes available hereabouts to de stroy. "Tho oldest theory of the tornado , you know , " ho said , "Is that the funnol-shapod cone Is formed by the sucking tip of a cur rent of air. Fayc , who Is one of our Dest European authorities , holds Just the opposite theory. Lieutenant Findlny of the united States bureau confirms Faye , or at least l > o declares that nearly all tornadoes are formed in the upper layers of the atmos phere. 1 have been studying the subject closely since 1804 , except when compelled to abandon my investigations owing to my. financial troubles. 1 shall discuss all cur rent theories regarding these terrific phe nomena in my forthcoming book , review as carefully as possible the record of destruc tion of life and property by tornadoes , and shall try to offer somothinc practicable in the way of safeguard against the evil. HI * Tank In Great. "It is no small thing of course to struggle with the atmosphere. Except the earth quake , the tornado is the most formidable uhenomcnon of nature. Nevertheless , 1 tiavo nn idea , whtah Ibclie7o will. If put In practice on a large scale in the United States , yield almost complete protection against its dangers. The records of the United States weather bureau show us that tornadoes in America always travel frnin the southwest to the northeast. This being established it is com paratively easy to fuco the enemy , because you know from Just what direction ho will como. The dangerous extent Is only an eighth of a point of the compass ; that Itf , if you protect n town on its southwest boundary for ono-eichth of its circumference it will bo tortmdo proof. "It'ls a well known fact that a waterspout at sea collapses instantly if a heavy gun is tired. This is so well understood that nearly all ships in tropical latitudes carry a cannon for this purpose. A tornado on land , which is n phenomenon ol the same nature , can bo dissipalod in the same way. My plan in u nutshell , then , Is to establish aerial torpedoes , fixed on burn , light towers like the electric towers used in some Amer ican cities and so placed that the explosion can quickly lake place by the automatic action ot the tornado itself. The apparatus which I have designed and patented a few days ago is so constructed that u wind of tornado intensity will by simply mechanical means discharge the powerful explosive with which tbo magazine is loaded , Will Work fur a Certainty. "I should use about 300 pounds of the most powerful explosive in each tower or pylone. The explosion would develop an immense amount of gas under enormous pressure , quite capable of destroying any tornado in its vicinity. At the same time , the ex plosion taking place 120 feet or so higher in tne air , would do no damage to build ings or other property lower down. The number of these towers or para tor nadoes necessary would depend upon the area and importance of the town or build ings to he protected. To : furnish absolute protection it would be necessary to place them from fifty to 100 , yards apart , the minimum width of .tho path of a tornado withitutho dangerous octant. , -Take , for instance , a town three miles in diameter. The dangerous octant would be about a mile along its southwest border. 1 would place sixty para tornadoes in four rows along that section of the circumfer ence. That would represent an expense of about $30,000 , loss probably than the cost of lightning rods for the same town. The principal portion of the expense would ba In the erection of ttio towers , which might be of either wood or iron. Five hundred dollars for each para tornado would surely cover all expense. There would , of course , be no expense of maintenance except for an occasional coat of paint. A tornado once disaipated by explosion - plosion or otherwise will not reform within several miles , so that there is no necessity for the erection of safer guards within a citv. Such is my system. When we con sider that hundreds of lives and millions in property are swept away in America , it really seemn .worth while to upend a few thousands in fighting tornadoes. " FOlt. Mr. Outliwalt * of Ohio Given Ilfaioun lor the IMc Republican Mujorlty. COLUMBUS , O , , Nov. 13. Mr. Outhwnite , member of congress from this distriit , when asked what results the election will have upon tariff legislation said : "They will , no doubt , have some influence upon the members when they como to con sider the details of the hill , but the tariff will bo revised in the direction mapped out by the democratic party. Of course the conditions of the business of the country will bo carefully considered by congress while framing such legislation. Many ol the material increases of the McKinley Ml. will bo reduced. Some of them will be wiped out entirely. Woo ] and some ot the raw material ) ! will be placed on the free list. Wo must frame a bill to provide ample reve nues , bearing as lightly as possible upon the taxpayers. " Mr. Outhwaite says it would ba giving the big republican majorities a wrong significance to say that the people who voted for a roduc tion-o'f the tariff last fall have changed their minds. Ho attributes the result in this state to the dissatisfaction of soldiers , who have pensions claims , disgust over the udminls tratlon's failure to promptly change federn oOicers and the delay of the senate to act on the silver purchasing clause.

That really happened to a certain grocer's clerk , because he couldn't induce customers to take an inferior brand of washing powder in place of Pearline. The grocer said , "If you can't sell what I want you to sell , I don't want you. " Now it doesn't take a very wise woman to decide whether this was an honest grocer. And a woman wise enough for that , would be likely to insist upon having nothing but Pearline. There is nothing "as good as" or "the same as " Pearline , the origi nal in fact , the only washing-compound. If they send you * something else , send it back. SOB JAMES PYLE , New York.
