The proiests from the authorized roprc-
neiitatlves of the populist atutes that no
crusadu Is Intended iigaliiHl the rlghta of
property owners or creditors arc entitled
to full consideration. Kvcry doclarntlon
that the people nro opposed tn lawlessness
and reiMidlatlon Is of the highest value.
In thla respect the speech of Senator
Allen of N'ebrcfika Is Interesting nnd prob
ably bis statements are entitled to full
credit. He ald that people of oilier states
having obligations against the people of
Nebraska or any of tin municipalities will
not bo cheated nor bo deprived of entering
the cour's und procuring every legal remedy
Ho gave an Interesting description of the
Nebraska Judiciary , saying : "Our Judges will
compare fa-,01 ably with those of the oldest
etati'n of the union In point of ability , in
tegrity and knowledge of the diitlrtt of their
olllcfs They will hold the scales of justice
Impartially between residents nnd nonresl-
dontM they will enforce all legal obligations
In thc'ir letter and spirit and defeat those In
viulntluu of law. "
As far an railroad legislation is concerned
Senator Alb n said :
"BoBlcrn holders of stock In our railway
corporallon.j sometimes express fear of hos
tile legislation nnd I desire to say to them
that mich n feeling Is groundle&a. Whllu 1
do not doubt that the legislature will enact
measures looking to the prevention of over
capitalization , wild and reckless manage
ment nnd will take strong grounds against
railways Interfering In political matters and
favoring one political party by the frco ( serv
ice of their trains to the rigid exclusion of
others from a llko privilege , yet , so far as
vciultablo and Just passenger and freight
rates are loncerned , there will be nothing
done of which any falr-mlndcd man may
Justly complain. "
There Is considerable claptrap In this
form of speech. Hut It contains n. fair
statement and acknowledgment of the
plighted faith which the istnto has given to
Investors In railway properties. The reserva
tions count for much less than the admis
sions
With tbk > spirit manifested by all the
representatives nnd people of the populist
states , tli'i distrust of which they are the
objects will disappear. Disavowing repu
diation and renewing their pledges of fealty
to the law , to the Inviolability of public
credits and to good order , the apprehensions
excited during the recent unfortunate cam
paign will vanish.

I'or several months competent engineers
have bcnn surveying the route of the pro-
poked canal , overlooking the country , nnd
tenting the richness of Its soil , hunting for
reservoirs In which to store the water and
miil.lng a general study of the prospects of
making the cntnrprltu a profitable one. The
rf > i orts nrii nil vnrv rmcniirnelnc. and the
capitalists , of Providence. H. I. , and Ilnston ,
Mags. , who have been Interested In the
uehomo artenthusiastic. . The canal will
have Its hcadRnto In tfco Fouth 1'lalto Just
below the. Junction of Pawnee and Hex IJlder
, creeks , and the cnnnl will bo somewhere bo-
j tween ninety and 100 miles long , cutting
through the hills that have been supposed
to be dependent by force of location on the
uncertain moods of heaven for water to keep
crops nllvo.
Klvo sites for Immense reservoirs have
I been found and will bo taken advantage of.
i In the fall nnd winter months , when the
water of the South Plalto Is being allowed
lo run to wafctc , these reservoirs will bo
filled nnd In the spring and summer the
water will bo utilized. The estimated
amount of water available during the months
when It will bo turned from the.stream is
equal to 000 cubic fcot per si-cond.
The canal to carry this water will be forty-
flva feet wldo on the bottom and capable of
carrying much more than the oxpoctcd
amount thnt can bo secured. The company
has been organized , and , though no name
has yet been selected , all the stock has been
subscribed by capitalists of the two cities
named , though Denver parties will also bo
Interested. Two million dollars ; Is the total
capitalization , and It Is thought this will
bo moro than sulllclont to construct ditch
anil reservoirs and put the land In condition
for settlors.
LAUGB COAL VEIN.
I Km- some time past an Individual has been
j mining coal on u claim which Is said to bo
about ten mllnt from Olonrock , In Converse
county , says the Cheyenne Tribune. He has
shipped several carloads of this coal both
cast and west on the Fremont , ISIkhorn < Si
Missouri Valley railroad und It has given
the greatest satisfaction wherever tried. The
vein Is on the south side of the North I'latto
river and Is six feet thick. A thorough test
of this coal has been made and It Is said
the result shows It to bo clearly equal to
the Hock Springs coals for domestic pur
poses. The vein was discovered In a high
blulf about fifty feet above the Platte , and
the location Is excellent both for mining
and transportation.
The party who has located the vein and
who Is mining It Is dinident about giving
out any news of a definite nature. There
appears to bo llttlo doubt , however , that an
exceedingly valuable find has been made
and the prospect for a high grade of coal
In a region connected by rail with Chcycnno
will be hailed by the general public with
words of congratulation.
NKW NARROW GAUGE ROAD.
If renorts current hero be true , and there
Is every reason to bollevo they are , Dlfllcult
crock , which has been so aptly uamud the
Cripple creek of this section of the state , Is
to hnvo a railroad , says an Aspen special to
the Denver News. There la a well authen
ticated story hero that a company of prom
inent business men of this city , acting In
conjunction with a well known millionaire
of Aspen , who has lately become Interested
In railroads , ana an omciai 01 UILr imuiiti ;
& Cripple Crook railroad , name not given ,
have papers drawn for the Incorporation of
a narrow gauge road that will tap the gold
district. U also transpires that a prelim
inary survey of the proposed route was innilo
lest summer. The line Is to parallel the
Roaring Fork river , running northeast from
this city for a distance of about ten miles ,
where the river Is crossed and the line
skirls a mountain In a southerly direction.
Rounding the range the line doubles back
Into Dlfllcult creek. The entire distance Is
a fraction under twenty miles and there are
no grades of consequence. Neither Is any
tunneling ncce.isary , and It Is stated that
the line can bo constructed comparatively
cheap for a mountain road.
OIL IN TIIK MOUNTAINS.
Rumors of a big strike of oil In Santa
Barbara county In the mountains a few
miles from Serena have been confirmed , says
a Los Angeles special to the San Francisco
Chronicle. The strike Is the result of de
velopment work prosecuted by the Occi
dental Mining and Petroleum company and
has created a sensation , as It proves to bo
the discovery of the most considerable body
of oil yet found In that section.
The company has been at work for several
years. The strike was made In a tunnel run
by the company from a deep gulch Into the
mountain side. The top of the range Is
3.000 feet and the tunnel about 2,300 feel
above the sea level. The strike liberated
natural gas In such quantities that the use
of open lights In the tunnel was barred. At
a depth of 400 feet oil bubbled from the
orovlcea. It Is estimated that the oil that
Is thus being forced out Is about fifteen bar
rels per day , but the vein Is not opened.
The oil-bearing stratum Is thirty feet In
width , and experts have given It as tholr
opinion that the tunnel has tapped a true
oil source. The company has not yet fully
decided upon their plan of development , but
will nrocecd carefully to utilize the valua
ble property which lliey nave openeu.
GREAT TUNNEL 1'ROJKCT.
From the famous Florence district In
Idaho comes the news of one of the moat
stupendous mining undertakings ever con
ceived In the northwest , flays a Spokane
special to the Denver News. It Is no Ics
than the construction of an Immense tunnel ,
four miles In length , to tap the cntlro Flor
ence deposit. It Is proposed to commence
the tunnel at or near the level of the Sal
mon river nnd running for a distance of
about four miles , It will bo aimed to tap the
entire camp , at a depth of about 2,000 feet.
The tunnel la to be made largo enough to
admit of a double track and will be provided
with air drills and electric light , the power
to be supplied by compressed air. A com
pany has been Incorporated under the name
of the Florence Mining nnd Improvement
company , with a capital stock of J2.COO.OOO ,
to carry on the work. All the claims In line
of the tunnel arc now being pooled and put
Into the company. It Is mainly eastern cap
ital that Is Interested In the undertaking ,
which Is to cairy the project to a successful
Issue. Commencing from the mouth of the
tunnel , It Is expected to cut Into the flrnt
ledge at a distance of about 500 feet , nnd
about every 500 feet thereafter throughout
the entire distance a gold-bearing ledge will
bo tapped.
VALLKY ROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
Notwithstanding the fact that extension
work on the San Francisco and San Joaquln
Valley railway has been temporarily dis
continued , says the San Francisco fall , there
U no cessation In activity along the portion
of the lliio already completed , comprising
125 miles between Stockton and Fresno.
Merced and Escalon have already each
been provided with a combination freight
nnd passenger depot , and similar structures
are going up at Klin wood , Geneva , La Grand
and Lankershlm. Each of these will rest
about J3.000. At Fresno an Immense freight
depot Is rapidly assuming shape on Q street ,
between Kern nnd Inyo. A portion of this
Is to bo used temporarily us a passenger
depot , and by spring a handsome and com-
moJIous passenger depot will be commenced.
Thn freight depot alone at this point U to
cost JS.OOO.
Extension work houth of Fresno will In
all probability not be begun until the early
part of February. The bonds which It Is
proposed to sell to provide funds for the
construction of th < road between Fresno
and Hakcrsfluld and between Stockton and
San Francisco are ntlll In the engraver's
hands , and It Is not likely that any at
tempt will bo madu to float them until
after the now year dawns ,
Rut this will not Interfere with track
construction couth of Fresno. The next ob
stacle ( o progress In that direction Is the
lack of a continuous right of way. As al
ready announced there will be two lines
out of Fresno. Ono will run via Hanford
and the other probably via Rccdlcy and
Vlcalla. The two lines will come together
again south of Hanford near Lake Tulare.
The ultimate route of the Recdley-Vlsalla
branch will depend largely on concessions
made by land owners In the matter of
light of way and depot sites. Local com-
mlttue * are now engaged securing the
right of way.
The only cheek to putting the 110 miles of
track between Fresno and Ilnkerafleld down
at the- rate of a mlle a day will bo the
three blq bridges that will hnvo to bo
erected two over the Kings river and one
over the KOMI. Each of these structures Is
to cost $30,000. All the plans are ready , but
the material has not yet been ordered , nor
can It , or will It bo until the right of way
situation Is cleared of all uncertainly.
COLORED MAN'S LUCK.
A now and valuable strike in the Dead
Shot lode' , one-half mile south of Columbine ,
hn.s wonderfully stimulated the people stop
ping In this section , says .a Steamboat
Springs special to the Rorky Mountain
News. The IIml Is n rich one , as the ore-
will probably mill $500 per ton. although
moil of the- assays run much bettor th.in
that. The ore Is brittle silver , carrying fro'n
twc to four dollars In gold. The pay streak
pays from the surface and Is from two end
a half to four feet ; in width , and runs dla-
onslly acroi three claims , owned by different
outfits.
The principal owner of the claim on whicli
the find was first made Is the only man of
African descent In the camp and was at ; one
tlmo a slave In Missouri. Three months ago
ho gave a man an ontlon on one-half 01 * the
claim and the privilege of sinking n thirty-
foot shaft for n one-half Interest , this con
tract to hold good until December 1 , 1S1IC.
The party had completed all of this work
except three and one-half feet , but had made
the discovery of mineral , which was rich at
another point at the tlmo the option run out
with his part unfinished , but ho still de
manded a deed to one-half. The colored man
refused to g'.vo It until work was completed.
This did not suit and the white man pro
ceeded to restako and Jump the claim. The
next tlmo the colored brother appeared on
the ground the- man chased him off with liU
pick. When ho arrived at the luHtofllcp In
Columbine ho told his tale , and a hanging
boo was only averted by the white man com
ing down off his perch.
The Jumping episode of last winter has
put the miners of the camp In such a tern-
pei < that there ? la but llttlo further danger of
such attempts. All assessments are about
completed In the district and most of the
miners are settled down on their pet loca
tions for th ; > winter.
Thcro nro at present six men working on
the now discovery , four more- will go to
work onjhe same streak and claim , and the
two tdjoinlng properties will open up their
own ends. Fifty men will probably bo outputting -
putting on this find by January 1.
SNOW1IOUND IN THE CASCADES.
A party of Yaklma Indians are starving
nnd freezing to death In the Cascade moun
tains , says a Tacoma dispatch to the San
Francisco Examiner. They are snowbound
and Judge Erwln , agent at Fort Slmcoc , who
has charge of the Ynklmas , has organized n
rullof party at Chchalls to go to the base
of Mount Tacoma on' ' this sldo of the range.
The Indians wore overtaken nnd hemmed In
by the snow storm that swept over the
western part of this state a couple of weeks
ago.
ago.A
A party of seventeen or eighteen Indians ,
consisting of men , women and children ,
wore out on a hunting expedition when the
storm began , the snow quickly becoming so
deep that they were unable to travel. As
soon as the storm subsided ourof their num
ber traveled to Chehalls , a distance of about
scventy-flvo miles. Ho reported the snow
ten feet deep , the horses all dead from
nilfl qtnpvnUon nml * ltn im inr.
badly In need of outside relief. It Is reported
that the party had secured considerable
game and If not Judge Erwln says the
horseflesh would keep them from starvation
for a time.
Judco Rrwln recclveil a message from the
Indian department at Washington , Instruct
ing him to spare no expense to rescue the
Imprisoned Indians. Judge Erwln , as soon
as he arrived at Chehalls. organized a pack
train and set out at once to the rescue.
Another storm like the last would probably
mean the death of the band , or at least of
( ho children.
ISLAND .MOUNTAIN PLACERS.
Word reaches this city , says a Boise. ( Ida. )
special to the Spokane Chronicle , that Im
portant mining operations are going on on
the headwaters of the Hrtmneau. The re
gion Is Itnoun as Island mountain , which
has for a long time been known as exceed
ingly rich placer diggings , but It scorns
that all the stories told as to the almost
fabulous wealth of the diggings have hardly
come up to the real facts In the case.
A force of 300 men has been employed to
erect n Immense reservoir , which will hold
water sulllclent to work the rich placer
ground and also furnish water for Irrigation
purposes. The company now working the
claims owns about 10.000 acres , and claims
to have a bonanza. Most of the winter will
bo spent In development work.
Now that Colonel Dewey , who has been
operating mines In the Dclamar district for
a number of years , has taken hold of several
leading properties In the Willow creek min
ing district , near Uolse , values over there are
on the advance , and several Important deals
are on the tapis. Colonel Dewey recently
sent ever largo quantities of machinery , and
will go there as soon as the weather settles
to superintend the work In person. Governor
MrConncll recently paid a visit to Pearl , the
chief town In the district , and was much
struck by the substantial Improvements that
were being made nnd the exceeding richness
of the claims. The camn cmnlovs about 100
men. They are chiefly employed In develop
ment work.
OLD IDAHO TO BE REOPENED.
Preparations are now being made at Mur
ray to develop what Is believed to be tbo
greatest gold mine In North America , the
Treadwell of Alaska and Homcstakc of the
Illack Hills alone oxceptcd , The property
In question is In Idaho , ono of the oldest In
the Coour d'Alencs , and ono which many
men have known to tholr sorrow. Several
attempts have been made to work It , sayo
a Wallace ( Ida. ) dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Examiner , and upwards of $300,000
have been spent on It , whllo the returns
have boon practically nothing. The mill
saved from J2 to $1 per ton from the rock ,
whllo almost an equal amount was lost
In tlio form of sulphurcts , no concentrators
being used. With wood for the cnglqe cost
ing $4 per cord and men's wages ranging
from $3.50 to 30 per day. It was a very un
profitable undertaking , and the promoters
teen tired of it , selling twenty stamps to
other 'mills In the neighborhood , and finally
disposing of the property last spring to the
Dora und Katlo Ilurnot Consolidated Mining
company , which has been running the mill
since on ere from the Katlo Hurnct.
The proposition nowa \ to add at least
thirty stamps to tlio twenty now In use ,
fit them up with the very best form of
concentrators to save the sulphurets , at
tach the pipe line to furnish power and
operate It on a largo scale. Thla pipe line
Is ono put In three years ago to furnish
water to hydraulic some high bars about
Murray , und It 'Stands some four miles above
the Idaho mill. U Is claimed thnt It would
furnish power to operate sovcnty-flvo to a
hundred stamps , and If It should ever be
desired to exceed that number another pipe
can bo laid from Granlto creek , about the
same distance away and ( lowing about the
sjme amount of water.
The ledge on the Idaho runs from forty
to sixty feet wide , the mineral seeming
to exist In about the eamo amount all
through It. The pipe line has never proved
profitable. The company now owns 3,000
foot on the vein , which crops freely through
out the whole distance , and In the ground
owned It will average about 600 feet In
depth above the water level.
STOCKRAISING REDS.
Judge D. M. Drowning , commissioner of
Indian affairs , has been visiting a number
of the Coast Indian agencies and came here
from thn Fort Hall rnicrvatlan. saya the
Salt Lake Tribune. "My observations on
this tour and the experience of the bureau
generally show that the Indian service U
Improving , " the commissioner says. "Tho
government U endeavoring , as fast as po -
, and as far an treat/ stipulations will
permit , to make the Indfon self-supporting.
( If course , the task l - pdlfllcult one and
many failures must remlt , | before the desired -
sired conditions nro brought about , but wo
are ealtafled with the 'progress ' being made.
"It Is not expected that many Indians will
become provisional or business men , but
It Is believed that they can bo taught to bo
fairly good farmers and slock raisers. Grad
ually the land * of the1 tribes are being ap-
j j portioned In severally and the tribal rela
tionships broken up. Where the lamb arc
fit for agriculture the Indians arc given Im
plements , wagons and seeds. They are aided
In the construction of houses and the allot
ments arc fenced. In the dry districts ,
I where stock raising only Is possible , a few
head of cattle are given each Indian and the
sale of their stock Is prohibited until they
have a certain number.
"This plan has worked qulto satisfactorily
on the Sioux lands. When a contract for
bcof has been awarded and purchases under
It are to be made the Indians are Invited
to sell surplus cattle to the government at
the contract price. Not long ago at the
Pine Rldgo agency COO head of cattle wore
bought from Indians on these terms and the
red cattlemen wore naturally much
pleased with their success ns stock raisers.
I bellevo the Indian problem will work It
self out In this way. The solution will take
time , but the day Is coming when the dis
tribution of rations will cease and the In
dian , having become self-sustaining , will no
longer be a ward of tlio nation. "
THE COPPER Rl,11 REGION.
Present Indications are that the next
Alaska mining excitement will bo over gold
and copper discoveries on Copper river ,
which empties Into the '
sea near Cook's In
let. During the past two years reports have
irequcnuy nocii received mat goui aim cop
per In largo quantities were to bo found on
that river and Its branches. Llttlo has been
accomplished toward verifying these reports
by the explorations of white men. Fays a
Tacoma special to the San Francisco Chroni
cle , but during next year such an explora
tion will bo made. News has como that four
hardy miners left Hope City , Cook's Inlet ,
early In October for Copper river. When
last seen their boat was approaching the
mouth of Knlck river , which had to bo
passed. The party Is composed of Chris
Splltum , Fred Perry , Paul Buckley and John
Davis. They have taken enough provisions
to lost a year , and intend to occupy the winter -
tor months In sleighing the outfit as near
as possible to the river's headwaters.
Alaska papers state that this Is by far the
best expedition ever started Into these unex
plored parts , the men composing It being ex
perienced nnd used to the hardships that
such a Journey will entail. The party's out-
lit lncludi.3 a quantity of beads , knives nnd
trinkets , to he-used In trading with the Hal-
ilnh Indians , who Inhabit most of the con
tiguous territory. They figured that they
could make the expedition pay by securing
valuable furs should the mining venture
prove n failure. There Is no doubt , however ,
among the miners but that they will strike
It rich , for the Haldah Indians have fre
quently displayed copper nuggets containing
gold to traders , nnd have declared the metal
to bo plentiful about the headwaters of Cop
per river.
Last summer two of the , Indians brought
down a single piece of copper weighing sev
eral pounds , which was secured by a fur
trader. It was believed to contain fully ' 20
worth of gold , but the trader kept the mat
ter as qulot as possible In the probable ex
pectation of sending an expedition there him
self.
It Is qulto nrobnblo that the Cook Inlet
party will have need'of tholr trinkets In
pacifying the Ilulduhsj who are a warlike
tribe and have heretofore been keeping white
men out of their country. After reaching
the Copper river's nmutli ithe party has a
trip of from 400 to COO inllca before them be
fore they reach the rlyer.'s source , never yet
visited by white men. Should their report
bo encouraging many BOOK'S tuict miners
will so there.
