Chief of I'nlico Uobcrlson la In receipt
of a letter from Sttka , Alaska , solving a mys
tery of forty years ngo , says n Portland
( Ore. ) special to the San Francisco Chronicle.
In 1850 , Vancouver. Wash. , then a sparsely
Inhabited settlement , was a favorite place
of recreation for the Hudson Hay company's
men. Among the families then dwelling
there was that of Philip Hcldcnfcldt , who
had a beautiful , flaxen-haired boy named
Willie , at that time I years old.
Wllllo was adored by n Hudson Hay com
pany Scotchman known as "Long" John Me-
Oregon "Long" John was well fixed In
money matters , having saved about $30,000
during his long service with the company.
All this he promised to bequeath to Wllllo
If his parents would allow him to adopt the
child. The Hotdonfcldts were poor , but no :
so needy as to bo forced to part with the
child. They refused $ GtOOO In gold coin
from McGregor for the privilege of making
Willie his heir and taking him with him.
In April of that year "Long" John re-1
turned to the frozen Arctic , where his btialJ
ness was with the Indians nf Interior Alaska.
With McGregor's departure the child dlsap-1
pearcd. That the Scotchman had stolen the
child was not doubted by any one knowing
his attachment for the boy , but no trace of
man ami boy could bo had.
"Long" John. It Is scarcely necessary to
say , never revisited Vancouver , and some
time In the sixties was frozen to death while
returning to Sltka from a business trip to
the Interior In nn open sled. McUregor , like
most men of his type , neglected to provide
for hlH property. Ho made no will and when
death claimed him every dollar of his wealth
went to distant relatives In Scotland.
The greater part of McGregor's time In
Alaska being spent among the Indians , ho
placed the stolen boy In custody of a trine
with which his business relations were the
most extensive , and with that tribe Wllllo
was when death overtook "Long" John , and j
Hclilciifcldt , now a man -14 years of age , Is j
with the same Indians today. He frequently !
visits Sltka , bearing an Indian name , and
speaks English with n broken accent char
acteristic of an Indian.
Hcldcnfeldt's people have heard nothing
of him for more than thirty years , and nat
urally believed him dead. The writer of the
letter was In Vancouver when the boy was
stolen , and know him well. The boy was
peculiarly marked at his birth. Ho had but
ono Joint on each of his llttlo fingers , and
ono of his eyes was black and the other a
dark brown.
This optical defect In Ilcldcnfeldt , when
the writer saw him In Sltka last month ,
recalled the abduction of forty years ago.
Engaging him In conversation , bo noticed
also tlio other physical defects marking the
child. Ileldcnfeldt said that he remembered
being taken from his homo by n rough-look
ing man and placed aboard a ship. Ucyond
that his childhood recollections are qulto
vague. But there can be no possible doubt
of this man being William Hcldcnfcldt. His
aged father and several brothers and'sisters ,
now residing In Denver , will bo communi
cated with.
The acceptance of the Carey act by Wyom
ing and the results which have followed Is
the most Important feature of the Irrigation
development. Not only ( has It Involved the
construction of numcrouu nnd Important
ditches by the state , says the Cheyenne Sun-
Leader , but a oupsrvlslon over the arid Irrl-
gable lands heretofore unknown In thla or
any other state. Colorado and Idaho have
both been closely watching with unqualified
Interest the working of the "experiment" by
Wyoming In her "reclamation schemes. " So
well pleased were both that they have adopted
the plan themselves and , having formally ac
cepted the gift , arc preparing to select the
lands.
The benefits of the plans for the settle
ment of the Irrigated lands and the equity
In the distribution of the water under the
rules * laid down by the system adopted by
this state at once commends Itself to n honie-
seekor. The state Is given absolute title by
patent from the United States and In turn
gives absolute title to the pottlcr , only .charg
ing CO centa an aero for the land carrying with
It a perpetual water right , nnd making the
purchaser nn equal shareholder In the ditch
furnishing the water , the settler aa a stock
holder paylntf hli ) pro rata of the expensa of
Us construction and enjoying his proper share
of Its earnings nnd as a shareholder ho has
hlH proiMjrtlonato vote In the management
of the ditch.
The etato offers this land to settlers for
CO cents an acreonehalf to bo paid when
the filing Is made , and the other half when
the patent Is applied for. Filings can bo
made on twenty acres or any multiple of
twenty acres up to ICO acrco.
Since the state began - Its work In this
field the commissioners have selected within
a few acres of 100,000 that Is now prac
tically "under ditch , " whllo projects sub
mitted to the state and held for further
examination cover 7G.OOO aci'js In addition.
'In Hlg Horn county alone thcro have been
five canals projected < md the state selected
lands beneath them , whllo ono of the big
gest projects yet contemplated and now un
der examination , the Omaha canal , Is to betaken
taken from the IHg Horn river In that county
and will Irrigate about 50,000 acres when con
structed , and will be about fifty miles In
length.
The total seggrcgatlon of Irrlgublo lands
is yet but about one-tontli the amount per
mitted.
GOSIIKN IIOLK sunvnv ,
M. C. McFnrlanu , In charge of the United
States geological survey Just returned from
the Goshcn Hole country , Bays a Cheyenne
special to the Denver News , Is busy arrang
ing his report of the work accomplished. The
several elevations along the line of survey
show that the whole of Goshcn Hole , from
rim to rim , can bo Irrigated from Horse
creek and the Platto. The easternmost
benchmark on the Nebraska line , southeast
corner of township 23 , Is Just L'.OOO feet lower
than the Union Pacific depot In Cheyenne.
The eluvatlon rises gradually westward. The
west line of the Goshen Hole rim Is 4,033
feet above sea level , a rlso of C > S9 feet In
thirty-three miles. This demonstrates the
feasibility of Irrigating the entire area. Mr.
McKarlanc says the best lands llo west of
Horse creek , nnd north nnd west along
Cherry creek basin , but that nil compara
tively level lands will prove valuable for
agriculture. Ilrsldes half-mile stones , thir
ty-three benchmarks wcro established and
elevations taken nnd marked on all stones
set , and marks establishing a valuable addi
tion to the field work In that locality. The
supposition has been that Goshcn Hole , ex
cept In the lower part , could not bo Irri
gated from the Platte river , and whllo Chief
McKarlano was recalled before the work was
finished his work establishes that theory as
erroneous. Whllo the full must bo slight to
higher portions of the great depression the
uklll of modern engineers will overcome the
obstacles and several hundred thousands of
acres of splendid lands reclaimed.
YOUNG SALMON SLAUGHTERED.
About 000,000 young salmon were destroyed
at the United States hatchery situated on the
Clackamas river , about thirty miles from
liero , whllo the workmen were at supper ,
eays a Portland ( Ore. ) dispatch to the San
Francisco Examiner. The workmen wcro
alxiont leffl than an hour. When they re
turned not a llvo flah was In the hatchery
traya , There Is mystery about the whole
affair. The workmen claim that the water
was poUoned , but by whom and how they
r.ro unable to account. Some of the water
was saved and analyzed In order to deter
mine * about poison , but none was found.
Meat of the water had escaped prior to tak
ing the samples , therefore , It was difficult
to detect potuoix bad miy existed. Thin was
unfortunate , as It would have cleared up
the mystery. It would have been easy to
have poisoned the fish and have the entire
water run off In half an hour.
Many th orlea Imvo been advanced , but
that of poison Is discredited by conic , as no
motive can bo discovered , but It Is held by
many others. This makcn 1,000,000 young
ualinon that have died In the Clackamaa
hatchery thla month , The employes are
all experienced men and a long time In the
aervlcp , and they say they cannot account
for the loss. The hatchery Is not easy of
access and tramp * never find their way
thcro , therefore , the tramp story finds no
bellovorti.
Ono who la experienced In hatching sal
mon clalnm that an earthquake shock has
the effect of troubling the water and causing
death. An official Investigation will bo
made next TuccJay. The loua of tucuo fbsh
Is n national one , nnd means about J 1,000-
000 bad the fish lived until grown ,
NEW MBXICAN LAND QUANTS.
In the United States land court Chief
Justice Heed handed down the opinion of
the court , rejecting the Orcjas do Llano
do Los Aguajes grant , In Taos county , says
a Santa Fo special to the Denver News.
This case was decided In accordance with
the decision In the Antonio Chavcs grant
case , wherein It was held that from the
years 1S2I to 1S2S no officer In Now Mexico
had authority to make grants of land , and
the Orejas do Llano do Los Aguajes grant
j was made In 1S2G. The forgery question
! was not raised In the opinion.
I j | In the Sierra Mosca VorJ L Ortiz grant
I case , wherein Luis M. Ortiz ct nl. claimed
' 30,250 acres In Santa Fo county , Judge Fill-
, : Icr handed down the majority opinion of
! : the court , confirming to the claimant's
| j cloven square leagues of land , but at the
! snmo time pronouncing the grant an 1m-
, perfect ono. Judge Murray vigorously dla-
i , Rented from this opinion , contending : First ,
I that under the colonization laws at that
I I time the governor had no power to make
i grants ; that , second , If the governor had
' possessed the needed power , not a single
J requirement was complied -with In making
I this grant ; and , third , that the signature
i of Governor Armljo was a forgery , and a
, bungling ono at that. In this case the
, majority of the court decided that expert
testimony and that photographic copies of
Governor Armljo's signature were compe
tent.
TOLD ITS OWN STOIIY.
Evidences of the Indians who formerly
peopled this section wcro discovered recently
near the northwest corner of thla county ,
says n Los Angeles dispatch to the San Fran-
clsco Examiner. It was not In the form
of ancient ruins or pottery that the find was
made though , but nothing lew than the
skeleton of n human being who perished nt
the hands of the savages , for transfixed In
his splno was nn Indian arrow.
This uncanny find was made by n couple
of proopcctoru , who nt the same tlmo dis
covered something which to tbcm was of
far greater Importance than an old Dkele-
ton. They were after n gold-bearing Icdgo
of quartz , nnd they found It , too. A. IJ.
Wyllo and S. P. Tillman nro the names of
of the men who madu the discovery. They
were working near Lovejoy's bridge , about
seventeen miles cast of Palmdalc , the lat
ter place being probably ten miles from Los
Angeles. The ledge which they Fought to
uncover Is located at the sldo of a deep
canyon near where runs an old trail.
Both men were hard at work , Wiley bo-
Ing n llttlo further up the yldo of the moun
tain than bis companion. Suddenly Tlll-
mnn called to his friend , who. looking down
paw a couple of bleached bones sticking up
out of the ground.
"Go on and eeo what It Is , " ho paid to
Tillman. nnd then the two completely
threw ni'Ido the dirt nnd finally saw before
them , lying on Its face , the skeleton of a
man.
"What's that there ? " nrkcd Tillman , and
otlo'tlng up through the ribs , with the head
burled In the spinal column , was an Indian
arrow.
The man had evidently been dead many
years. Ho had probably been walking In
the canyon when the savages attacked him
from behind with arrows , ono of them
making a mortal wound. Thcro was no clew
which would have led to the man's Identity.
ON THE SIMILKAMEEN.
This field has hitherto been' llttlo pros
pected ; In fact , I doubt If half a dozen pros
pectors could bo found within a radius of
perhaps twenty mllop , wrote a Uoundary
Creek Tlmco correspondent recently from
Kercmcos on the Slmllkameen river. Evi
dences abound that this section will prove
a great mineral producing country. Tiio ere
much resembles the discoveries on Boundary
crook , largo bodies of copper in the form of
oulphldcs and red oxides , carrying gold and
fllvor. being more commonly met with. The
valuej run/ from $2 to J1CO In gold , from ten
to twenty ounces In silver and from 4 to 30
per cent copper. The ledger vary from eight
een Inches all the way up to forty feet In
width , between a formation generally of
black granite , with some calc spar , at a porphyry
phyry contact. This camp Is thirty miles to
the west of Osoyoos and U reached by a
fairly passable wzgon road , Pcnnlngton , the
nearest shipping point , Is only twenty-five
miles distant. The firt't location was made
on Olalla creek on Juno 20 of thla year ,
hardly any prospecting being done until a
few weeko ago. C. Harrington and Munroe ,
who both own claims in Boundary , wcro Inhere
hero lately nnd made five locations.
Mr. Coulthard hasi just uncovered a Mven-
foot vein , capped with sulphide of Iron , nt
the mouth of Granite creek. Twenty miles
up the river from Camp Courtney there are
some fine bodies of coal cropping out of the
bank of the strcim. As yet the ground Is
not claimed by any ono and when a load of
coal Is required for blacksmlthlng purposes
ono helps lilnm'If. The cropping ! * are from
four to nlno fost wide. To the proypectcr
this country Is n "promised land" it t-hould
bo named "the prospector's paradise. " There
Is plenty of wild fruit ( most of It very pal
atable ) , vegetables can bo purchased from
ranchers near by at a very moderate price
and game is obtainable almost at any tlmo
within a short distance from camp.
POISONRD BY AN ALASKA THORN.
John Trevlllau , a Cornish miner and pros
pector of 'Beri'es ' ' bay , Alaska , who has Just
arrived from the sound , says a Portland , Ore. ,
upedal to the San Francisco Chronicle , is
suffering from erysipelas and blocd poison
ing , caused by having his face nnd hands
filled with the barbed and venomous thorns
of that dread of the Alaska prospector , thu
creeping "devil's club , " or devil's walking
stick , botanlcally known as panax horriduo.
The face of the man present * a fearful
appearance. The flesh has been swollen and
drawn Into deep corrugations , the right eye
being closed entirely , whllo from the loft
eye a bare gllmmen of sight is left through
a silt between the puffed. Inflamed lids. It
Is a story of fearful suffering. Ho said :
"I Imvo carried this face nnd tbrao hands
about with me elnco the evening of Septem
ber 2 last. What that statement mean' ] Is
only to ho realized by thcao who have lived
In Alaska nnd been unlucky enough to en
counter ilev 11' . $ club , and have oven but
ono of the poisonous thorns of the creeper
enter the flesh. '
"September 2 I worked later than usual ,
having struck a scam of rich quartz I hoped
to follow out before- daylight faded. Dusk
came at about 8 p. in. Tired and hungry , I
decided to make a short cut around thr
mountain , taking an old trail I had before
noticed. Reaching the end of the trail I
started onward through the timber. I had
gone but a few yards when , pushing my way
into a dense growth of ferns , I plunged head
foremost Into what later proved to bo an ol < l
whlpsaw pit. Ten years of abandonment
had allowed the pit to fill with a dense
growth of 'devil's club. ' Slash , slash came
the stinging thorns against my face , hands
and neck as In my efforts to regain an up
right position I brought my weight to bear
on the entanglement of treacherous creepers.
"Then when I had found the ladder lead'
Ing out of the pit , the lower rung broke
through rottonncKi , and again I was tossed
back Into the Hinging m&sa of poljou that
can only bo likened to a rattlesnake's den.
Regaining the cdgo of the whlpsaw pit , I
retraced my way down the Johnson trail.
Already my oyco wcro closing , the agonizing
pain I was enduring being Impossible to de
scribe. Reaching the well-worn trail wo had
used for two seasons , It had become Impossi
ble for me to ace from the right eye. Thr
left eye was still open , however , and with
my thorough knowledge of the trail , despite
Ita circuitous course through the canyon , I
was enabled to reach the cabin , "
IMMENSE LUMBER OUTPUT.

Is being shipped to the gulf ports. It Is
estimated that no loss than 100,000.000
biiHhclH will be foil to the herds of cattle
and hogs this winter , nmrKlng a revival
of the llvo stock Industry unprecedented
In the history of Nebraska Millions of dollars

Last year the total business of the packIng -
Ing houses was not so great In volume as
In preceding years. The drouth cut short
the supply of corn and grass , compelling
stock growers to dispose of their mock at a
disadvantage. Stock receipts nt tlw Hailth

cars , whllo for the corresponding month ! )
thin your the total stock receipts amount

the recovery from drouth conditions of
