THE BRIGHT STAR OF EMPIRE Moving With Irresistible Domain. Western FROM COUNTLESS HOMES THE INCENSE OF CONT Exploring the Grand Mineral Park Resourec?s The News Rain of of The Star of Empire, Tho star of ompire still takes its way wost word, says Fraok Leslio's, and Qreeley’s advice to ‘o west” still deserves fhe attontion of tho young man with migra Yory tendencios A recent cepsus galuation of real ho se lletin shows the nasessed 1 porsonal proporty of itories for 1530 and 8900, striking. Thoe won derful gr hat wo have 10 the past known as the ‘‘western states has largel ubsided. The boom is now farther west—it {m\ reached tho shores of the Pacific. In buly six states and territories does tho in- ereased assessad valuation in 1500, as com- pared with 1859, amount to ov r cont, pud these all far boyond western states.” 1irst among them is South Dakot; incre orcentags of ase of 1,040 {:\mn Dakota, with an increaso of 702 per cent; Montana, 471 por cent; Washingion, #24 por cont; Utah, 522 por cont, and New {Vl:-xn , 505 per cont. Idaho stands next oa ho list with a percentage of incroase of 207 por cent. Tho recently admitted torritories Jead in tho rise in the vaiue of their persoual and real propertics. Only three states show a decrease; but in one of thesc, I1linois, tho docrease is owing tothe fact that the assossed valuation in 1850 was 50 per cent, whilo in 1500 it was only 25 per cent of the trie value, so that the de- rease in valuo 18 apparant, not _real, in that state. Maryland shows .ulmrunsu in the percentage of valuation in 150, as compared with 1840, of 3.04 per cent, and Nevada of over 15 por cont. Nevada is' tho only state which shows a decreaso in population New Yoric's increasod value is oyer cent, Pennsyivani'as bt per cont, Massa potts’ neurly 36 per cent. Tho eastarn s #s a rule, show less of a gain than tho orn, aud some of the southern states (notably Texas) show a considerable rise in prop: values. Tho states of Kuusas, Minnesota and Nebraska, whict in other duys wore “boom- ers,” ull show a large increase; but the larg- estand heaviest erowth isin the younger states and tarther west: “Tho figures in tho census bulletin i rofer- enco to this matter are especially interesting, and aflord opportunities for profitable study 1o the prospector and investor. AVONG TH CLOUDS, hrilling Exploration ofthe Grand Te- tons, Mention was made in Tue Bee somo four qveeks ago of the organization at Laramio of party for tho purposo of oaploring the Grand Teton mountains of Wyoming, o rog- fon where, as far as known, tho foot of man has never trod. The party consists of W. O. Ovwens, deputy United States surveyor, and and his wife, and Mr. and Mrs, M. Dawson. Tho trip was a success and tho party has re- turned to Laramie, bringing win them a large assortment of botanical specimens, bo- sides numerous negatives of the scenery. The details of the exploration, given in the Loaramio papers, are full of thrilling inci- dents, wondorful discovories, and remarkable endurance, especially on tho part of the la- dios, Tho three Totons lie south of Yellowstone ark and 150 miles from . Market Lane, daho, the nearest accessiblo point. The {rip from Market Lane to the Teton canon was made in wagons, oceupying fivo days, fraversing a wild and broken count Ac companied by a guide the party explored the canon, @ wild and almost inucceesiblo rogion, hemmed in by granito walls 1,500 feet high! From this point dificultics were encountered on overy side. Above them towered the throo ~ 'Totons — the Little, Mid- dio and Grand, the latter the monarch of tho Rockies, springing 9,000 feet from base to_crest, havi vom forty to fift covered with from cobbicstones to huge boulders. Reaching tho ridgeabovo tho canon a thrilling scene met their oyes. The vast crevico separating the Middlo and Graud Tetons was a glacier of unkuown depth of iccand snow, This is 110 bo tho only true glazier in tho y mountains. 1t is half a mile north and Bouthi and u milo east_and west. The party passed over the morraines and loose rock Torty or fifty feot in height and reached tho baso of the peak proper. F'rom the glacial valley the poak rises at an anglo of fifty do. grees from tho horizontal, which would make it forty degrees from tho' vertical The first 2,000 foot wis over sliding roci. Tha base of tho peak is 9,000 feet above sea lo Thon the slope of the peak rises for 5,200 vertical the so-called with a next is rty climbed to o height of 13,000 fect vel and from the observations made at that point determined the boight of the Grand Teton to bo 14,200 feet abovo sea Jevol, AU 13,000 feet the party encountered B vol 0oth as & pane of ginss and 1,000 feot high. The ascont was made from and to the camyp in ono day. Mrs. Dawson nud Mrs. Owon followed the gentle 2200 to within 500 feet of the highest point reached. From this location the summit of the mountain could bo scen sticking up us sharp as the point of a knife, At the height of about 12,000 feat above tho gea lovel tho party encountéred a big crovasso BOO foet long runuing up aud down the moun tain side and boing twouty-five or thirty foet yide. 1t was necossary to geva rope across this slippery and almost perpendicular poic of ico 80 thit the ladies could evoss. Mr. Owon went across with the rope, Mr. Dawson and Mr. Daw, the guide, holdine to tho other end to catch him in case of u fall. Mr. Owen secured tho rope on the ottier side and then ono end was tied around the body of Mrs, Dawson to socure her passago ncross the cre. yasso. As was partially oxpected, sho slipped Oue tho ico wnd but for tho rope would have slid down the mountain sido a thousand foot At o terrific rate, mecting instant death, After Mrs. Dawson had been pulled in se. eurely on tho opposite side Mes, Owen still remalned to cross over. Being heavier, the guido suggosted that a rope be fastened around her body besides tho ono sho was to Bold to. "'hie rope was tied around her waist. Whon Mrs, Owen reached the middle of the orovassed her feet slipped and, becoming frightonod, she threw up her hands and let §o tho ropo! Everybody was thoroughly frightened, but the forothought of the guido in putting the rops around Mrs. Owen's waist saved bor from a friehtful slide down tho steep mountain sido to death, Mr, Owen is pot prepared to say whether thoupex of the mountain is unaccessible, although he believes the very pinnacle of the Groat Teton can bo reached by camping right on the wountain and working to the poiutstep by step. Mr. Owen does ot think there is o peak in North America that will compare with it in iuaccessibility. Iu dved, 1n this respect it is_consaered equal to the Mattorhorn of Switzerland. The two mountains, in fuct, seom very much alike, Edward Wnimperof London, in 1863, after ten attempts, scaled the almost inaccessible feak of tho Mavtorhorn. It is only aoout housand feet bigher than the Great Teton. Phoso mountains were numed nearly sixty years ago. Prof. Hayden attempted to Feuamo them aftor bimself in 1574, BRING ON YOUR STIFFS, An Enterprising Undertaker Declares Himself.

NATIONAL PARK, Great Improvements Made During the Year. . Under the systom of military guardianship which tas provailed during the last five years in the Yeilowstoue National park this wonderful pleasure ground is fast becoming stocked with a prodigious quantity of fish, flesh and fowl. Captain Anderson’s report to Seerotary Noble shows that the clk alone must number 25,000, and the buffalo perhaps from 500 to 400, whilo the lakes und rivevs swarm with trout, The good effects of mili- tary policing nre also seen in the preserva- tion of tho trees, few forest fires having been started 1w the park and these fow promptly extinguished. During the present year thero has beon added to Yellowstono park an area nearly threo times as great ns the stato of Rhodo Island. Efforts had been mado for several years to securo this addition, but they wero bafiled by the eagerness of the Montana Min- eral Railway company to obtain a right of way through tho park. They regularly caused & rider for this purpose to bo put on ovory park extension bill, which as rogularly dofeated it in congress. lu the act of last March repealing the timber culture laws, there was a clause waich authorized the president to reserve from settlement public lands bearing timber. The friends of Yellowstono park saw in this provision th mouns of quietly sccuring their object, end the president last spring, at their solicitation, set apart a strip on tho' eastern border of the park aud azother on tho south- ern. ‘The lattor had been spoken of as rich in ellc and othor animals, 80 that with theso additions the splendid pleasure ground has now becomo moro valuable than ever for its forests and fauna. Oue observer, in his efforts to convey some iaea of the number of elk o the park, de- scribed the region us looking, at times, “‘like wu over-stocked cattlo rango during a round- up.” He saw over 300 antelopo on Spociman Ridgo, at an altitude of 8,000 foet, and lar, bunds'of them elsewhere. The humber of blacktail deer 1s known to' have ereatly in creased. There are many mountain: sheep and the bear s and other carnivora have so muitiptied as to cause an official recommenda- tion that the troops shall bo authorized 1o de. stroy some of them. 'I'he suggestion has also made that padaocks should be built ccting and breeding animals, with a view to restocking parts of the country where they huve been exterminated through the apacity of bide hunters. ‘The actual market value of tho fur-bearing animals in this beau- tiful pleasure ground has become v reat and is rapidly incronsing. The stocking of Yellowstone, Garduer and Gibbon rivers, the foriis of tho Madison, tho Tiwin Lakes and other waters, has also produced an astonish- ing quantity of trout, whera formerly there was a scareity. This beautiful tract must carerully watched, so that its woudors and churms my be preserved for the use of the people. Wholly apart from tho p,easurcs ad- ministored 10 the eye, it has a special value as o water supply for tho region beiow, which domands that its forests shall be kept' unim- paired.

His Famous Duel With Broderick in California. »sk, Cal, Sept. 16.—[Special Cor: nee of Uk Big|—I mot an old San I'rancisco lawyer recoutly who gave me some personal recollections of the Terry- Broderick du: A Vir by birth, he was familar with “tho code” and at that time a firm believer in 1t He said that tho po that Broderick was forcod into the unf ate affair, and that thore was o combination formed to murder him, “is not warranted by the facts.”” Briefly stated, this is his story “I'was a porsonal friend of Broderi and would certainly know if thero had been such combination made, but tho fact 15 that Judge Terry would have giadly backod out uftor he sent his challenge, if “he could havo doue so. This I nave from one of his seconds, Col. Beuhand, a brother by tho way, of George 1. [I’reatic wife, who told'me that Terry was induced to goon with the aifair only after being convinced that Broderick would kill bim if he did not.” I remarked that it was generally under- stood i the east that Bros a8 not an expert with the pistol, while was, “No truth iu it, sir; not s word. On the he was one of the best shots on could ring the bell nine out of ten. Broderick was ina desperate mental condition. ‘The winter before ho had been eleeted to the United States senateand, to tho surprise of his friends, had also so- «d the election of his political enemy, afterwards notorious as the duke of Sonora. It was learned, later on, that Giwin had, previous to his elcction, signed a paper in which he agreed, if successful, to alow Broderick to controt all of the fade age of the state—then of nuch portance. Broderick remarked to me, on the point of going to tho capi has sucercd at my former occupation us a stonomason, but 't taking him to Washing- ton 10 chnins, sir, in chains, “However, a kunowledge of this written agreement camo to President Buchanan oud in the distribution of federal patronage »for California ke igonored both_Brodericlk and G consulting, in- stead, the democratic_presidential cloctors. Of course, this threw Broderick into a groat raze, and when he stumped the stato in tho fall of 156 on behalf of Latham, democrat candidate for governor, he vented his il humor upon anybody and everybody who crossed his path. ““There was a spiit in tho democratic state conveution, and_Terry, at that timo chief justico of the state, in making some remarks inone of the couventions, incide warked that every member of the tion wore a Brodarick collar. Upoa reading this statement in the San Francisco papers tha next morning, Broderick became furious and douounced Torry as a lizr. In the condi- tion of society here at that time Terry was compelled to chatlenge him, which ke did, first vesizuing his pesition as chief justico, “The duel was fourhta fow mile enstof San Francisco, and Brode killed.

The first fluger of his right hand had been injured i some v vd as ho stood holding his pistol by his sidoe bofore the com- mand Lo fire was given ho accidentally raised it slightly, when Terry's second shouted, ‘Drop your pistol, sir?’ and no doubt this disconcorted him Someiwhat and may bave af- fected his aim.” Speak nel Bager, whoso eulogy of Broderick is ono of tho famons oratious of this country, this gentloman snid: *He was a brilliant mau, sir, a most briliant man, but ho had no heart, sir; he was a splendid icicle, Ho enjoyed a very good logal practico before he went w Oregoun, but his power lay wholly with a jury.
