XA , Mont. , Jan. 9.
Colonel Young , superintendent of the Yclloiv-
stone Natlo'ial park , has forwarded to Secre
tary llllss a supplementary report lu which
the cor.dltlon of the game animals ot the
park Is noted. In the report Is a letter
written by Lieutenant Mndsley ot the Fourth.
Drilled States carnlry , who tells what Is being -
ing doilo In the park to prevent the killing
of game. Ho writes that few lgns of buf
faloes ncro found during the summer , hut
liu Is confident of llmllng at least twenty-five
of the animals when snowshoc time sets In ,
r.ii' ) perhaps double that number ; and now
that Idaho has followed Montana and Wyom
ing In prohibiting the killing of billfalois he
expects to prcsono them from further at
tacks ot the paachcra.
Moose are Increasing In numbers In the
touthcrn part ot the park , especially lu the
uouthcrn forest preserves , whcro there are
more moojo than In .all * the rest of the park.
Lieutenant Llndslcy icconimends that this
preserve bo plntul In the park Itself. Ho
gives a glotvlng account ot the condition ot
the elk In the park , lie happened to bo at
the southern boundaiy of the forest icservo
when the flrtt snow fell , on October 13 nnd
14 , and saw that the country about Jackson
lake was literally nllvolth elk It was esti
mated that 10,000 crossed the southern
boundary this fall. The bauds of ulk winter
In dlfTurcnt parts of the BUI rounding coun
try ; some go down the Madison , sonic down
the O.allatln and some down the Yellow-
stoni' . All that survive return to the park as
noon as the snow will permit to raise their
joung At least 5.000 winter lu the park ,
nnd 15,000 Icavo It early In the winter. List
Reason was \cry severe ono and the elk suf
fered greatly , but It li thought that the herd
is nut diminished. Of those that winter In
the park the largest herd ranges north of
the Yellowstone river In that strip of laud
which It has so often ' 1)0011 proposed to cut
oft from the park. Lieutenant Lliidsley savs
It Is doubtful 1C any more would w Inter in
the parle under any circumstances. The paik
fuinlshcH an Ideal summer range for 10,000
oik , but not enough winter range for 10,000.
PHOTKCTING TUB DURIt.
There are man.deer . and they are \crj
tame. Their protection as jot offers no
problem. About 200 winter In the Immediate
% lclnlty of the post La t winter drove manj
ot the antelopes from the paik , nnd where
thcro wore 1,000 last year tr-eie are now not
more than hilt that number. The antelopes
are threatened with extinction by the covotes
which kill sonio and worry them all. The
covotcs are Increasing , and If something Is
not done to rid the park of them the ratt-
lopcs will cjase to winter In the park and
will not return In the spring.
There ale plenty ot bears and a few
wolverines and mountain lions In the park
Of the fur-boning animals the beavers scorn
to be doing the beot. They are scattered all
along the waterwaja , and there are more
of them now than at any time In the la < U
ilx > ears , and If unmolested they will rapidly
increase. They are dlfllcult to protect , as
tholr sKlns are eiulte % aluable. Otters arc
fairly abundant , and have Increased slnco
the barren streams have been stocked with
fish. Mink , badgers , martins , wlldolU and
rabblto arc plentiful. Lieutenant Ltadiley
concludes by saying :
GAME piiRsnnvD succnss.
"On the whole the park Is a great success
as a game preserve The \arlcty of species
Is git-H. and the condition of meat of the
species Is patlsfictory The exceptions are ,
flrst , the buffaloes , which are undoubtedly
away from tholr natural range , the open
plates , and the next the Milolopeia , which
are suffering for the lack of suitable winter
range and from the coyotes The elk prob
lem Is not a serious ono as yet , 'but ' It un
doubtedly will be In a few years , unless moro
suitable territory la provided for winter
range. This territory can nowbo acquired
with littledlniculty and at 'nslgnlncant ex
pense , and If It Is acquired promptly there
ahvavs will be elk hunting about the edges
of the park. The longer the acquisition of
this winter range Is deferred the moro dim-
cult It will bo , until , perhaps , a few gen
erations hence the elk problem will becoino
as dlfllcult as that of the buffalo Is now. "
On the morning of November 4 a largo
l.ind of antelopes from the slopes of Mount
Kvarts drifted acroos the north boundary of
the park. The ever-watchful hunters were
on hand , and tieforct they could bo stopped
they killed ten of the anteiopcs. Later In
the day I/eutcnant Lndslcy ! and a detach
ment of men formed a long skirmish line
and herded the antelopes back Into the park.

nnnrKKNiunau , Colo. Jan o ( Spe-
clal. ) Oreikenrldgo Is full of surprises In
mining The latest story Is located In Iowa
gulch , a placer district that han been aban
doned for nearly thirty years. In the ten
years between 18CO and 1S70 the gulch was
I actively mined and proJuced a large .amount
' of gold. In 1S70 It was practically abandoned ,
| nml though a little gold has been secured
1 from working over the old tailings It has
bpfri regarded as barren ground , and the
name ot the gulch has been almost forgotten
except by the oldest Inhabitants of Ureck-
onrldgo. especially since Iowa gulch of the
Lcadvllle district has come Into prominence.
Captain Klngsbury , who has been mining
In Drcckcnrldgo and other parts of the state
for many years , has the best of reasons for
knowing that the ground la not all worked
out. During the last season he has been at
work In Ion. a gulch and found that the old
workings did not extend to the higher points
of the gulch , but ( hat above there was a
considerable amount of virgin ground up
to very near the summit ot the range.
Prospecting In this territory ho found that
good values could ho obtained and continuing
his Investigations ho found that the ground
grew richer as the summit wan approached.
V considerable amount ot gold was taken
from the ground -during the season and
toward Its clcao phenomenally rich ground
was found close to the top of the range.
Captain Klngabury says that directly across
the head of the gulch Is a large dike of rot
ten quart ? , which Is BO soft that it Is
worked as placer gioiind , the nuggets sep-
iiatlng readily from the matrlv. The
ground at the head of the gulch has not yet
been thoroughly Investigated , hut from re
sults already obtained It Is evident that It
promises to ho one of the best finds ever
made In this rich district. Captain Kings-
bury has taken out n largo number of very
line nuggets , and has taken a number of the
best and had them made Into n watch chain ,
which , during the last few days , has at
tracted a great deal of attention , both on
account of Its novelty and Its value , which
Is placed at between $400 and $500.

ier of the great Homcstakc mine In this city ,
Thcro Ins been a mistaken Idea for many
ycnrj , ever since free milling ores were
trt.iited , that warm water used la the stamp
mill would cne a greater per cent ot gold
than cold water Mr Orlcr began experi
ments over three years ago to devise some
method of saving the flour gold at the Home ,
etikc mills. Ho caused to bo place ! below
the copper amalgamating plates , In front ot
a btttery of five stamps , a silver plate twelve
feet In length and about the same width as
the copper plate. In the Investigation of
Mr drier , ho found that In a free gold mill
the water uecd for amalgamating should not
he above GO degrees fnhrcnhclt. At 60 do
greri nearly all of the fine gold will be IcU
by reason of the decomposition of < hc Iron
sulphides , coating the globules of the quick
silver with a thin film of Iron oxide , thus
preventing the fine particles ot gold from
coming In contact with the mercury The
discovery ha resulted , already , In > the recovery -

A great many mortgages have been paid
oft In Lincoln county , Washlngtm , during the-
last three months , says the Davenport
( Wash. ) iTlnirs , and there Invo alto been
many purchases ot railroad and other land
recently. The mortgage companies have cue (
ceedcd In disposing of much. It not nearly
all , of the land they hid taken under former
foreclosure proceedings , nnd almost every
tillable quarter sectionIn the county haa
cither been purchfsed or leaded for farming
purposes ne\t sea'on The Canadian &
Amorlccn Mortgage company had disposed ot
thliteen quarter sections several weeks ago ,
and the Times Is Informed that the company
will not IIFVC $500 ot delinquent payments
this season. This came company has recelveJ
over $40,000 In payments on pr'nclpal ' this
fill and expects to receive as much moie
within the next two weeks. This Is the
experience of every loan company that has
been doing business In the county. The
mortgage debt will bo so greatly reduced
that the large npnual Interest payments that
have been such a luavy virgin upon the productive
ductive- energy ot the population will no
longer bo felt.
The Times hart Intended to try to give ao
nearly as posicle the amount of grain that
had been raised and thrashed In the county
this season , but there Is much yet remaining
unthrashcd In some localities that no defi
nite statement , based upon actual knowledge ,
canbo made. Mr Wl'soi ot Davnuport , who
has been figuring on the yield , makes the fol
lowing Interesting statement In a clicular
recently Is-sued :
"direful estimates of this joir's wheat
crop In Lincoln county place It at 6,500,000
buahels , which , at prevailing prices , equals
$4,500,000. Taken together with other cere
als , live stock , fruit , minerals , etc. . the cash
return to the 1,500 farmers of Lincoln county
will bo $6.000,000 , or $4,000 apiece a result
unheard of heretofore In any county ia the
United States '
In the same circular Mr. Wlloon condenses
a few factt tate a small space , which we
quote helow :
"Tho aro-i of Lincoln county Is about
1,500.000 acres , divided as follows- Grazing
land ( including about 250 000 acres of timber ) ,
700,000 acres ; agricultural lacd , about SOO-
000 acres. Of the latter , 350,000 acres aic
imdon cultivation , there having botn seeded
to wheat alone this year (1897) ( ) approximately
250,000 acres , which yielded an average of
twenty-nine bushels to the acre , some of
which oold as high as 78 cents * per bushel.
One ICO-acre farm , flvo miles east of Daven
port , yielded 8,100 bushels , or D2& bushels
to the acre , for the entire tract.
"Tho crop of 1897 , In many Instances ,
yielded .1 return that would pay all expenses
for raising , harvesting and narketlng the
same , pay the full market price for the la d
and leave a handsome profit besides. "

by lightning during n terrific storm which

The plc-cc In question vvoa not much larger

tl.at there Is .1 largo amount of money , fully
$2,000,060 , Invested by the government In
army uniforms , at pre&ent In stock at the
quartermastci depots Any material changes
such as have been wuggested would , It Is
asserted , bo prevented by national financial
ciicumstanccs if for no other icason. In
this connection the following statement Ins

army : "Thero has been no official actloi >
whatever taken in connection with a change

martial the reading of previous proceedings
and of testimony for nppioval will be dis
pensed with , unless for special reason con
sidered necessary by the court , or a witness
desires to have certain testimony read for

The Army and Navy Journal , In a recent
