"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. "

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.

out to arrest htm. Beforu looking uu Buckley -

number of the furme-a living near his miser
able abode They laughed at the idea that
the "wild umii'1 was dantxrous , und said
that hovb ns Inoffensive as a chllu. Ho

Last summer Ben Buckluy created a com
motion tu bobastopol. 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. Dispute
with him In regard to his presidency and he
becomes angry t humor him In his vagary and
ho throws out his chest. suimU orcct and ap-
| > ears full to the nuck of m.ili-s' ; .
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

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

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. >

During the past forty-eight hours there has
been a wild rush to Ilaven hill. Properties
in the neighborhood of the Catherine have

"We need _ this power arising from the

need them to save our cities. We need them

they will.

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. "

Mr. Outliwalt * of Ohio Given Ilfaioun lor

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.
