THE OMAHA DAILY iVTONHAV ArmilRT n. Discovery cf Rich Placers at Jackson's Hole Wyoming. MANTI MINES NOT SO RICH AS SUPPOSED llc Mlnlne Itnom Kipcctocl Aflrr Opening tlio Ulntiili nnil UncomimliRrn Itcnorrn- llotiH J VI Nntlfinnl Irrlciillon Con- grcftft ( icnrnil AVcutnrn Now * . Jack.ion'B IIolo Is Just now having n mining /loom / that mirnrlsed tlio "oldest Inhabi tants. " Since tlio divides bccamo passable miner * and prospectore liavo been coming by tlio score nnd tlio woods arc full of tlicrn , says ft Olieycnne leader .correspondent. A cll.ilrlct Imx been formed with United States Conimlaalonor I'ettlgrew recorder , nnd many claims have been and are being taken dally. So far but two machines have been brought In , nnd ono of those la n small prospector can led In on a jack from Arl- zonla , but It eaves the dust In Mnu shape , and Is being used to test the griiund In vnrloua localities. The other Is of lllackfoot ( Idaho ) make , of good capacity , nnd has been at work on Conant creek , where they clnlm to bo taking nn ounce per d.iy to the man , nnywny the parties are having a machine 7)tillt with n capacity of handling 1,000 yards of gravel per day , which they will use In the same ground ; so I presume they arc at least obtaining good pay. There are old miners here from every where , anil nil unite In predicting this coun try becoming n great placer mining region. So far as tested the country yields from CO cents to $2 nnd $3 per yard , and the cntlra surface of the earth , regardless of material , Hceins to yield pay. William Quinii , an old Illack Hills miner , says that from the wide distribution of gold bo oxpcctcd to sc3 hundreds of machines at work In Jackson's Hole within another year. Harncy Utilities , the original discoverer of Alder Oulch , In Montana , Is here. Ho Is old , but still hule and sound , and expects to strike It again. Several of our own residents have ordered machines for placer work , many of whom have claims that show from C > UO to 2,000 colors to the pan. Llko all mining regions , we have our rich lost diggings , \whlch many como to look for , guided by certain land marks which the discoverer told about "Just before going away and dying. " The herd of buffalo has arrived , which makes our collection of animals fairly com plete , so that now one can see In "the Hole" about anything. Last year Mr. L-'ok caught a pair of bear cubs , nnd In the fall one of them escaped. It wns seen ngaln the other day nnd treed by n couple of boys , but when , ono of them followed him up the tree he showed fight , and the boys allowed him to still go with the chain attached. The way Lock nnd his partner caught the cubs did not trouble them much , either. They were driving along several miles from home with out a gun , when they discovered the old one and cubs. They Immediately gave chase and soon treed the cubs , and ono of them stood under the tree with a club nnd kept the cubs up and the mother away , while the other went away and returned with a gun. TUB SAUNA GOLD FIELD. After considerable delay work has been resumed on the now gold fields of Sallna canyon. The lied Greek Mining company , with headquarters at Mantl , has a man working In the black sand. The shipment of panning ; ) from one and one-quarter tons did not bring very satisfactory returns , says a Monti special to the Salt Lake Tri bune. Assays showed that the sand carried gold , but not In paying quantities. Ono pe culiarity about the formation Is that the gold Is covered by a sort of asphalt , or black wax. This coating must bo removed by some ) acid process before the gold can be collected. The first assay gave $74.24 per ton and was mailo from a shot sack full of sand taken from different places now claimed by the Ilod Creek company. Tannings of 2,500 pounds of sand taken from ono place gave less than $5 per torn Both of these sam ples were taken from the grabs roots. It Is now the Intention of the company to find bed-rock nt different points and discover. If possible , where the first samples came from. The sand will Imvo to bo hauled down hill for a few hundred yards to bo treated by the cyanide or some other process , whore water Is obtainable. If an assay of ? 20 per ton can bo secured the company will prob ably continuo operations. In prospoctlng the ground n peculiar thnlg wns discovered. Almost the entire ground nooms to have been worked at some time In the past. A wall surrounds the whole sand bed about three miles In length. This gives evidence of having been constructed for the purpose of working the sand by some pro cess. While digging for bed-rock the pros pectors found that the ground hud been worked onco. This fact gave credence to the story that n veritable old Spanish mine had been discovered. One man claims to have found the ruins of an ancient smaller near the lied Creek camp. This placer ground , It Is said , was located several years ago by.somo of the Utah pion eers. They passed through Mantl nt night In order to prevent suspicion resting upon them , and tried to find the spot where an old miner had panned out some line speci mens of gold. The Identical ground upon which the lied Creek company now holds claims Is said to have been visited and panned. At that thno there was much op position to the opening of gold mines and the placer Hilda wore deserted. A I100M EXPECTED. Bert Seaboldt , the well known usphaltum operator of Fort Duchcsno , who Is .spending ft few days In the city , said to a Salt Lake Tribune representative that ho bslievcd a blR mining boom would follow the opening of the Ulntnh nnd Uncompahgro reserva tions. The best mining country In the IHntnh reservation , ho says , extends west ward for a distance of novcnty-llvo mlles from White Hock canyon , which Is twenty- flvo miles north of Fort Dtichesno , where It Is bollpved silver , lead , copper end gold will bo found In abundance. With regard to the Uncompahgro reserva tion Mr. Seaboldt says that , aside from the placar mines on Green river , jt runs princi pally to asphalt , and that these fields , which extend for tt long distance along the eastern sldo of the reservation , nro the largest In the world. NATIONAL iniUGATION. The following brief address In the Interest of the west Is being circulated : Active preparations are being mada for the next National Irrigation congress , which mceta In Denver September 3-10. Are the people of the far west capable of rising to a great opportunity ? Shall history be made nt Denver ? These are questions that must bo answered now. No subject Is of as great Importance to so many people as Irrigation. Practical Illustration of the results of Irri gation In Colorado will be given these who attend the congress , by means of a number of excursions , which will bo run to the agricultural centers of the state. Lot avery ono who can do so attend this congress. Low rates will bo made by the railroads. Information as to the arrangements for entertaining the delegates nnd others can bo obtained of THOMAS L. SMITH. Secretary Local Commltteo. 11-13 Equitable Uulldlng , Denver , Colo. A HIGH COPPER VEIN. In u short time Cnster county will bo producing copper bullion. W. A. Clark , the great Montana mining man , has secured 51 per cent of the stock of the Idaho Coppir company , whose property U located near Huston , on Lost river , Frank Drown con trolling the remainder and continuing as ( superintendent of the property. A forty-ton swultor will l > running In about thirty days , says the llolse Statesman , ami It the results are as anticipated a great plant will bo put In. The company has given orders for transportation of coke , and Is making uvery preparation for a run. This copptr vln Is sixty-five feet wldo and Is known as the lllg Copper. There U said to bo enough good ore In sight to run a forty-ton smelter for two years. A shaft Is to bo sunk on the vein at once to the depth of 300 feet. In addition u tunnel will ba started on the other side of the hill follow * luff the vela In , This tunnel will bo 3,000 feet long , and will open the rein at great depth. The or * carries from IS to 110 In liter par tan , and lomo gold. SAN MtOUKL GOLD. One of the easiest worked and highest grade gold and silver mines In San Miguel count/ , the Japan , Is working In Savage basin. The ore from the Japan la now running over $150 per ton In Bold and silver , says a special to the Denver New' * . On ono sldo of the vein there Is a streak about two Inches In width which la exceedingly high grade , carrying a largo per cent of gold , while on the other U a streak composed of mitlvo and brittle silver , and galena which Is fully twelve Inches In width. The first class ere Is shipped to Denver and the second class Is worked with Jigs and runs JCO per ton net F. J. Kramer , mining expert , has been cm ployed at the Tom Doy mlno doing some underground surveying for the purpose o laying out now ground for development work The Tom Hey mill Is running through from eighty to ninety tons of high grade gold ere every twenty-four hours nnd will soon ad ( as much more to Ita present capacity. Two of the latent Improved Huntlngton mills wll be put In Just no soon as they can be made Pierce Lee have Just completed a largo ere chute from the Warner mine to a bencl below them which will be of great advantnga to packers In loading their pack trains. They have also Just completed a large and com modious boarding house , ore house and bunk llOUFC , DID IRRIGATING PROJECT. One of the grandest Irrigating scheme : undertaken In this state , says the Portland Oregonlan , Is that of the Oregon Land , Irri gation , Fuel and Lumber company , for the Improvement of the Oak Grove , Juniper Flat and \Vapanltla plains InVasco county , com prising 15,000 acres of valley land and about 10,000 acres of foothill land. The company , with a capital stock of $500,000 , Is building n ditch thirty-six miles In length , to take wutcr from Clear creek for the Irrigation of this tract of country , and sections of the ditch , amounting In all to about twenty miles , are completed. About fifty teams and 125 men are employed on the work , and the force will soon bo Increased. The lands to bo Irrigated are In a valley surrounded by the Cascades , Mutton motni tains and Tygh Ridge mountains , and Ho between Tygh valley and the Warm Springs reservation. They arc well adapted to grow Ing grain , hops and fruit. They can be reached from Portland In a day and a half by the Ilarlow Pass road to Government camp , thence by the road running south across the range to the Oak Grove country , which Is now the most traveled road across the mountains , over 1,000 teams having crossed on It last year. When the ditch Is completed , logs and lumber can bo rafted down It from the moun tains at the head of Clear creek Into the Des Chutes , and so on down the .Columbia to Portland. When a railroad is built across the Cascades by way of the Uarlow pass It will tap that section of country. LUCK OF COCHETOPA. Thirty or forty out of the gold claims lo- catpd at Coehetopa pan gold In large quan tities , says the Saguache Crescent. George Fleming Is Interested In the Craig-Gilbert claim , and he Informs this cfflce that a piece of ere taken from their dump , with no Idea of getting a rich specimen , showed an as say value of ? 92. The dump has since been picked over with a view to getting a general average of the ore , and If the value shown by the first assay holds , the owners will begin shipping at once. With a big strike of gold at niedell , a rich and Increasing body of ore In Tuttle creek , with honey comb quartz rich In gold In Flnlcy gulcli. with rich copper ore In big bodies a few miles west of town , with Bo nanza's rich camp not far away and the newly discovered gold fields near our west ern border , what Is the matter with Sagu ache taking a big stride to the front this summer ? The Indications really seem to brighten. STRIKE IN THE NEW DEAL. Silver mountain Is again coming to the front. The strike In the New Deal mine Is creating a general stampede for the moun tain. Old claims that have lain idle are being restaked and worked , nnd quite a number of parties from a distance who have money nro Investigating the merits of the mountain , rays a special to the Denver News. About twenty claims have been staked off this week , and once again the road Is lotted with teams hauling up supplies. The pay mineral Is there , and all that is needed is a little money and lots of hard work to begin shipments. It Is estimated that $10 ore , It found In any quantity , can bo worked at a profit , as the cost to get It to market will not exceed $5 per ton. FREE MILLING GOLD. A most surprising strike of free milling gold ere was made in the Annie lode , fif teen miles east of here , two weeks ago by the Fullenwlder brothers , says a Mosca special to the Denver Newc. Nothing was said of the nnd until assays had been made with the astonishing result of $42,000 per ton. The gold Is found In honey comb quartz , easily worked , almost crushing In the hand. Much of It Is visible to the naked eye , and is certainly a sight to see Rich float has been found In that vicinity for years. They have four feet of It In plain view , and are In only six feet. The greatest cx- cltomont prevails here , and much ground Is being staked today. The find is a few mlles ncrtli of Mount Blanco , and In a dis trict that promises wonderful things In the near future. NEBRASKA. The Platte ccunty fair has been called off because of the failure of crops. O. B. Houghton , n well known banker of Hampton and a prominent Mason , Is dead. An old settlers reunion and district fair Is to be held nt Bayard September 13 and 11. Frank T. Hawks has started the Progress at Orleans and will make It a republican paper. Elm Creek has voted $10.000 in bonds to build an Irrigation canal. The bonds carried three to ono. A vicious horse kicked the 8-ycar-old son of W. II. Ilrown of Aurora In the head and fractured his skull. The Be.Urlco canning factory Is now run ning full blast and will continue in opera tion through the season. A band of five State university students has begun a series of union evangelical serv ices in the Presbyterian church at Pawnee City H. M. Henry lost seventy-five tons of hay liy lire on his land one inllo east of Wayne. Ho says the hay was worth nt least $3 n ton to him. As a result of overstudy , the 15-year-old son of George Lehman of Columbus has be come * violently Insane. It Is hoped that Ills mind will be restored by proper treatment. The 5-year-old son of E. M. Brewer of Butte secured some matches while his par ents were away from home , and the result was that the house was burned. The boy escaped. Thomas Duncan , mayor of Indlanola , has Issued a proclamation ordering all citizens of McCook suspected of being Infected with the smallpox to keep away from the city of Indlanola. On Wednesday morning the reopening of the Catholic church at Auburn will take place , Itev. J. B. Fitzgerald , the first Cath olic pastor of Auburn , will bo the celebrant at high mass. A Santa Fo train struck a team at a crossIng - Ing near Superior and Instantly killed one of the horses. The driver , named Sullivan , was so seriously Injured that It Is feared ho cannot recover. G. Jacobs at Superior nearly lost his life while trying to unload a bull from a stock car. The animal throw him to the ground and attempted to gore him , but spectators who were near at hand tlrova the animal away before fatal Injuries had been Inflicted. Fifty delegates attended the Otoe county Sunday school convention at Talmago. Billy Sumner ot Bayard does not like a rattlesnake for a bedfellow. He was kill- ng time on a hot Sunday afternoon by loung- ng when he discovered a large and vicious reptile on the bed with him. Billy's own account of the later events Is given verbatim by the Bayard Transcript : "I left that bed In L 'urry , y * kno' , and grabbed a shovel , y * tno' , with mo 'art a thumpln' , y' kno , but I ad a 'cap o' fun poundln' the Ufa h'out o' hit , y1 kno' . " While Mlas Nettle Hungato of Chadron was bathing In the waters ot Bryant's lake she went beyond her depth and sank. J. W. loud , who was In a boat near at hand , umped Into tlio water to rescue the girl , ml as she rose to the surface she threw her arms around his neck and prevented him from swimming , Both went to the bottom , but juit at the right time Mr. Bryant reached the drowning couple and rescued them from a watery grave. Every time < certain Dawson county woman goes to Lexington she straps a big nix-shooter and a bait full of cartridges around her waist. The catua for her thus arming herself has never been explained to the public , and she has never been ar rested for carrying concealed weapons , for she wears the shooting Irons In plain sight. What was at first thought to be a genuine ghost put In Ita appearance at the Dawson county Jail the other night. Two guards were asleep In the Jail at the time , and they were rudely awakened by unearthly noises proceeding from the corridor. Spring ing from their downy couches nnd seizing shotguns nnd a lamp or two they proceeded { o Investigate , and found a table In the west room overturned and lying bottom-side up , with dishes , etc. , scattered over the floor. No one had evidently been In the room , and two prisoners , Burke and Don nelly , were securely locked In the Iron cages adjoining. The prisoners had before claimed the place was haunted , and now , they as serted. It was made manifest that ghosts walked abroad. The deputies could not unravel the mystery , but the next day Sheriff Hobson made a careful examination of the room and found a cord , with a nail curved In the shape of a hook attached to tt , fastened to a coal hod. The cord ran along the top of the room and ended Inside the cage. And the spook business came to an abrupt ond. The prisoners wanted to be placed In another room In the Jail with King , Thompson and Hilton , and In order to have their desire gratified , had adopted the spook scheme. They still occupy their old quarters. THE DAKOTAS , South Dakota pharmacists held their ninth annual session at Huron last week. A contract has been let to Contractor Owens of Pierre for the construction of sev eral additional buildings nt the New Lower Brula ngency at $28,400. The first cattle shipment. 100 head , was made from Pierre last week. The stock Is In splendid condition. The estimate Is placed at the low figure of 20,000 head to be shipped from this place In the fall. Letters from Captain Todd of the Castalla , belonging at Sioux City , which went to the upper river this spring , say that the boat Is having a good trade In addition to Its grvornmcnt freight contract , and Is securing full cargoes on every trip. It Is running both ways from Bismarck to the military posts. Land owncid In Harmony township , Jer- auld county , have decided to sink two arte sian wells as an experiment. County Com missioner D. McDonald says he Is heartily In favor of oxpendlng about $50,000 for artesian wells. People who a year ago were against the scheme are now Its earnest sup porters. The removal of the county seat of Law rence county from Dcadwood rsopened with a new petition to the county commissioners asking an election to be called for the pur pose of deciding whether the proposition will be signed by the people of the county or not. Much dissatisfaction is shown In both Deadwood and Lead City. The Indian appropriation bill has passed both houses and will at onde go to the presi dent. It ratifies the treaty made with the Yankton Indians for cession of a part of their reservation , and settlers will soon be permitted to take up lands there. The ap propriation for payment ot damages to set tlers evicted from the Crow Creek reserva tion by executive order In 18S5 was retained. Under the bill Indians are permlted to lease their lands. Probate Judge Parllmnn of Sioux Falls has decided that the life Insurance money now In the hands of the executors of the J. G. C. Schlegel estate belongs wholly to the widow , and that the creditors have no claim whatsoever upon U. There are about twenty creditors , nnd they propose to carry the matter to the supreme court if necessary , to test the state law under which the widow has absolute claim to the llfo Insurance money of her deceased husband. The first artesian well ot a series of four contracted to bo put down In Douglas county under the provisions ot the artesian well law has been completed and was formally accepted from the contractors by the county commissioners. The well Is located at the1 head of Andeas creek , a water course with out water except for a short time in the spring , is 937 feet deep , flows 900 gallons per minute with a temperature of 61 degrees. The successful completion of the well at this time means much. The water is already being drawn for miles In all directions by farmers for domestic purposes. The remainIng - Ing three wells In other localities are to be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. COLORADO. In Boulder county the Keystone mlno has some ere worth $8,000 per ton. The Orcen mountain placers , Park county , will be worked very late this season. About flfty men are at work In Low Pass district , Lake county , all mining gold ore. A vein of free milling ore , about thirty Inches In width , Is reported In the Gold King mine , Cripple Crosk. The Eureka mine , Tarryall , Is producing $40 gold ore. It Is concentrated at the Wells mill and shipped to the smelters. The gold output In Leadvlllo district shows a steady Increase. When they pro duce at all the Hat veins are liberal. Crlpplo Crook Is promised another chlor- Inatlon plant. The works nro to bo built at Olllett and will cost about $10,000. Uavon Hill. In the Crlpplo Creek district , looks forward to a pay roll ot at least $20.- 000 per month In the next ninety days. The new Crawford mill on Left Hand creek , IJoulder county , Is credited with sav ing 85 to 00 per cent of the vnltto In the ore. Its capacity Is ten tons per day. In the San Juan country the 1'ellcan mine [ continues to output silver. The ere Is high u grade , averaging 28ft ounces per ton. About 100 men nro employed at the mine. The Bulldozer mine In the La Plata sec tion has a new elghteen-inch streak which yields $200 gold to the ton. The ere Is treated nt the Lewis mill , being hauled by burros. In Granite district the Monte Crlsto mlno reports a big strike. It Is on Iron quartz carrying free gold. The pay streak carries nearly nlno ounces In gold , while the vein matter runs from $12 to $15 per ton. Mr. B. T. Carr , representative of the Moulder Fruit Growers association. Informs the Camera that the association , has shipped 3,289 cases , of an average of twenty boxes to the crate , and realizing an average price of 20 cants a box. The potato fields under the Larimer county ditch , says the Fort Collins Courier , have ) oen watered In good shape and the water s now running Into the reservoir , to bo held 'or later Irrigation of potatoes and alfalfa. Dvor 7,000,000 cublo feet of water every .wcnty-four hours Is now flowing into the re&ervolr. A vein of copper ore nt Crlpplo Creek wns opened up 150 feet onst of the Florence and Crlpplo Cro.k depot. An assay returned i3 per cent copper and one-half ounce In Is ; old. The discovery was visited by hun- Irods of people. Everybody owning town iroperty In the neighborhood feel as though hey were owners of a mine. According to the Crlpplo Crook Journal he Elkton Mining company will Increase In active force of miners In another week Is rom flfty-olght to ISO men , and will In crease Us output In proportion. The mlno an s now producing about twenty tons dally , ot which from four to five tons are smelting ore , the remainder going to the mills. Word comes from Leadvllle that the ilatchless mine , ono of the original bonan zas of Fryer hill , nnd the property of ex- icuator Tabor , Is about to bo reopened. H closed down fourteen months ago , at the expiration of a 6,000-ton contract with one ot the Denver smelters. The Leadvllle lerald-Democrat credits the Matchless with an Immense reserve ot Iron , which can bo nlned to a profit. The shaft will bo sunk 200 feet deeper and seventy men will bo put o work. WYOMING. Sheridan Is to have a new court house. In ono day recently 635 oil claims were filed In Nutrona county. The fees amounted o $856.26. The state association of Congregational churches will meet In Big Horn , Sheridan county , September 12 and 13. It Is nothing for a Laramlo fisherman to go out tq some ot the streams adjoining that Ity and secure 250 trout. No section of the- tite U uioro favored In this respect than Albany county. The whistle ot the Union Paclflo shops 'low ' at Cheyenne for the first time since uly 1. About twenty-five additional menThe i were put ta work , making 120 cmpbycs all told In the shops. , Eight hundred and fifty hcnil ot cattle from Soda Springs , Idaho , nro being branded by the Swift compaily1 Itt North Park. S. P. Llilel , agent for the Lander , Wyo , . Transportation company , Informs the Ga- /.otto that his company has shipped from this country the past two months 800,000 pounds of wcol , Of 'this amount 200,000 pounds were shipped from the Lost Cabin country and 600,000 pounds from the pens on the Sweetwatcr. . In addition to this 43,000 pounds were shipped from the Sweet- water country via Howling , tr.uKlng In nil a total output for Fremont county of S43,0V ( ) pounds. The Bandon woolen mill has started up. Salem has spent $30,000 for bicycles this summer. A hardwo'd saw mill Is being set up at Coqullle City. Quite a llttlo osage orange hcdgo Is being sot out In Polk county this summer. A telephone and telegraph line between Grant's Pass nnd Crescent City Is being projected. It was decided at the Silcm hop conven tion to pay pickers 40 cents for nine-bushel boxes. Hop harvest will begin about Sep tember 5. Mr. Jewell of Sauvles Island reporls that he haa obout two miles ot railroad and a turntable which came to his place during the flood. Mr. William Osborne , who has Just re turned from the vicinity of Mount Adams , says fully 100,000 sheep are pasturing there. They are In excellent condition and grass Is good. These flocks are owned In Oregon and Washington. A good many fruit dryers are going up this summer near Milton , nnd the bulk of the output hereafter wll be shipped dried. This seems to be the best way of marketing fruit as a commercial product. Canned goods are a surplus everywhere. William Ilmllo and Walter Brown brought over a largo amount of gold dust from the Fox valley mines and had It run Into bars at the Canyon City assay office. Mr. Rudlo approximates the output of gold from the placers and quartz mines of Fox valley this season at about $15,000. The Coqullle hay crop Is enormous , breakIng - Ing all records. Hay , If carefully handled and Judiciously marketed , will bo a godsend to Its lucky owners this yeir. It Is one of the crops whoso price has not gone down with overproduction. The California drouth Is the chief element In the situation. Jim McLaughlin , "our Jim , " as the Gold Beach Gazette familiarly calls him , the champion diver and the boss yarn spinner and Chinook seiner , has arrived In Crescent City , and will do the "submarine act" In searching the wreck recently ( discovered them and which Is supposed to bo the Brother Jonathan. Jim will soon settle the question for the discoverers. J. N. Macy says , however , that the vessel found Is ono of the several schooners wrecked In that vicinity In early days. Macy was a whale hunter there In early days , and was at Crescent City when the Jonathan was wrecked , and Is positive the Jonathan was farther off shore when wrecked. WASHINGTON. The number of children of school age In Chchalls county Is 3,216 , as against 3,153 last year. Chehalls county's assessment will be about $6,250,000 , n reduction ot over 30 per cent from that of last year. ' Prof. C. V. Piper" of the Pullman Agri cultural college Is Investigating the tomato blight around North 'Yaklma. There was a falling oft' ' In raspberries , due to late frosts , and the Spokane trade has been supplied mainly- from Puyallup. J. W. Wade , who owns four fruit orchards near Olympla , < ha3 , marketed In Tacoma and Seattle 22,233 pounds of cherries this season. , Willie Stevens , a half-breed boy , has been arrested at Port Townsend for burglary and arson. He Is charged wjth having robbed a lodging house and then setting a fire In which eight buildings were , consumed. There are 1.375 tons of' steel In the whalo- back City of Everett * When completed nnd ready to go to sea tho- vessel nnd outflt will weigh 2,000 tons. Her carrying capacity , exclusive of this Immense weight , will be 4,700 tons. Farm laborers in western Washington are crossing the mountains by way of Cowlltz pass in considerable numbers. The men go on foot and carry their food with them , there being no houses where they can obtain food In the wilds of the mountains. The Belllngham Bay road Is hauling Into Whatcom 700,000 feel ot logs for flooring and decking , to bo cut by the Port Blakely Mill company. That company has bought several rafts of logs from the lake which have proven eminently satisfactory. The Blue Canyon Coal company has hauled Into Whatcom fifteen cars of coal to be placed in the bunkers ready for the revenue cutters under the company's new contract. The tunnel at the Blue Canyon mine has been driven 200 feet , and work Is progressing at the rate of six feet per day. The tunnel when completed , In October , will be 770 feet long , nnd will enable the company to bring out the coal without hoisting. A curiosity has been added to the Walla Walla Statesman cabinet In the shape of an old beaver trap , which. It is claimed , was used by the Hudson Bay company over fifty years ago. It was found In the bed ot the Yollowhawk creek .by Mr. W. II. Colwell on Thursday , where It had been brought to view by the recent heavy floods. Attached to It Is a heavy chain , the links of which have become solidly attached together by the accumulated rust of years. It Is of steel and ovldenty of home manufacture. When found ' It was set , but was sprung by a heavy blow with a hammer. MISCELLANEOUS. Reno , Nov. , is asserting claims as a health resort. Montana wool Is selling for 12'A cents at Great Falls. The first bale of California hops for this year has been shipped from Sacramento. The Chlno Beet Sugar factory opened for the season's run. It will use 1,000 tons of beets per day. , Steamboat navigation on the upper Mis souri has not been very lively this year , but the season has not entirely closed. The national guard of Montana In all probability will meet In regimental encamp . ment next month nt Fort Ellis , near Doze- man. man.Qsceola , Nov. . has attracted attention from Denver and Salt Lake capitalists. The placer grounds make an excellent showing. Dry machines must be used. The Blue River Placer Mining company , Just south of Dillon , Is pushing work on Its property. They are' 'sinking a large sized shaft to bed rock Jri tKo old channel of the Blue. , / " The Postal telegraph line Is now at Canon Diablo on the Atlantic end 1'aclflc line and being rapidly pushed'westward.

Ono of tint Moat Itii | > rc < i lro Object * In tlio Worltl. Marlon Crawford reads n lecture to Amer icans who decry the city of Washington and Its society , in an article which ho con tributes to the August number of the Century. As to the much discussed Wash ington monument , Mr. Crawford says : A famous living sculptor of ours has given us his opinion In condemnation of the Wash ington monument. It Is sometimes called the Obelisk , for the comparatively simple reason tluit It Is onu , Just as "they called Peter , people said , because It was Ills name. " With alt due respect to the sculptor's right of judgment , which Is unquestioned , wo may differ with him nnd yet not brand ourselves barbarians. To the present writer It seems not too much to say that In a certain light the Obelisk Is the most Imposing simple ob ject of great dimensions In the whole world. Doubtless when teen , as It always can be seen by day , from a distance of two or three miles , nnd from different parts of the city , cut off by a line of modern roofs across a palo sky , there Is nothing remarkable or beautiful about It. It Is then but Iho top of nn obelisk , and nothing more ; a slender , straight line of stone visible In nn uninter esting atmosphere. Kven then It can hardly bo said to be offensive , for It Is too simple to offend. Go lo It at evening , when the sunset lights have faded nnd the full moon Is rising. It Is Impossible not to see Its beauty then. Lor some reason , not Immediately apparent , the white light Is not reflected from the lower half of It when the moon Is not far above the horizon. The lines are nil there , but the shaft Is only a soft shadow below , gradually growing clearer as It rises , and ending In a blaze of sliver against the dark sky. The enormous proportions are touched then with a profound mystery ; the solidity of the symbol disappears , the greatness of the thought remains , the unending vastness of the d a Is overwhelming. Illock upon block , line by line , is was built up with granite from many states , a union of many Into ono sim ple whole , a true symbol of what wo Ameri cans are trying to make of ourselves , of our country and of our beliefs. There Is the solid foundation , proved and tried , which we know of and trust In. There Is the dark and shadowy present , through wnlch the grand , straight lines are felt rather than seen. And there , high In the still air , points the gleaming future , perfect at all points , bright at all points , lofty as all but heaven Itself. There Is the symbol. We may ask of our selves whether we are to overtake the shadows and reach the light , wo or our chil dren , or our chlldern's children ; or whether the darkness will creep up with us always , and with them , for all ages to come , and even to the end. The Obelisk is beautiful not only by moon light , as any ono may see who will take the trouble to look at It with eyes human rather than critical at evening , for Instance , from the terrace of the capltol , when all the world is sinking toward Its mighty plunge Into darkness through the foam of the cloud breakers and the purple wash of night's rising tide ; or at early morning , when the darkness sinks back , and the first blush of day warms the pinnacle of the lonely shaft as though it had stabbed night in the sky and drawn the sweet blood ot daylight upon Its point. Most notably is It beautiful at such times when seen with the whole city from the great military cemetery on the heights of Arling ton , than which few points In the world com mand a. more lovely view. There In the quiet earth the solemn dead lie sldo by side , the many who fought for us when we were but their children , and who , for ours , will fight their Immortal bat tles again in the clouds like the warriors of old. Many of us have heroes of our own name and race lying there In tlie broad tree- hanimod meadows , and among the flowers , and In that chosen rank where the great generals He , as they fought In the forefront of the enemy , facing not now enemies but friends , the deep , sweet valley with the qulot river at their feet. And far away , beside the airy dome of the capltol , the single shaft rises sunward , and tells In shadow-tlmo for us , the living , the hours of the dead men's endless day.

Just after the house had been called to order the other day , says the Washington Post , a dark-haired baby girl toddled down the cintor aisle. She was dressed in white , with a dainty muslin cap fastened down upon her pretty curls. She was a wco mlto of a thing so small that when she reached the steps she sat down and slid from step to step , for oven the few Indies' descent was beyond the reach of her short and chubby legs. At the head of the aisle she paused , looking about her In childish wonder. Then she noticed Speaker Pro Tern Richardson sitting at the speaker's desk m all his glory , and with childish ambition she proceeded to ' climb up the broad plattorm until she stood by his sldo. Her head scarcely reached to the top of his desk , but she prattled away to him In baby fashion until ho was compelled to turn away from her to follow the proceedings of the houso. Then aho half slid , halt tumbled down again until she reached the group of pages , by whose sldo she sat down , spreading out her tiny skirts In true womanly fashion. Just at that inomont a woman appeared at tbo main .door of the house , frantically waving her arms toward the llttlo ono. A doorkeeper came up the aisle , took the llttlo one's hand and asked her to go to her mother. "No , no , " said the baby. "Dut she has some candy for you , " said the diplomatic If not altogether truthful official , and without another word the youth ful wanderer woe led In triumph to the arms r of her distracted parent.
