Farm Profits in Washington. “The yicld that caps the pyramid of crops in tho Palouse country was harvested and soid by J. H. Stevens, eight miles northwest of Colfax. He had thirty-six acros of fall wheat that produced exactly 2,051 bushels, ov an averago of fifty-six bushels and fift seven pounds to the acre. Lippitt Bros. paid bim for tue crop $1,435.70. By this transac- tion Mr. Stovenson makes 30.75 an acre from his laud, the net profits being $25, dedueting taxes, interest on tho investment ana all other expenses. It is a clear profit of 85 per cent. Prohibition Constitutional. The supreme court of North Dakota has rendered a deeision in the noted liquor case of Jonn Hass of Fargo, who was prosecuted for selling liquor contrary to the prohibition law. The only question in the appeal was as to the constitutionality of the prohibition 1aw, and the court sustained the statute in evecy particular, In the court below numer- ous assignments of error were made by the counsel for Hass, but on appeal all were abandoned, save the constitutionai feature, this being settled in favor of the law. lowa.

After a Year's Prointion Wyoming's Great Oamp Reaches the Bullion Stage. DIRT WORTH HALF A DOLLAR A POUND. Capital in Plenty Pouring Into Gold Hill and Stamp Mills Ready to Start Up Without Delay. SAnAToGA, Carbon County, Wyo., Nov. ! [Special Correspondenco of Titx BrE.|—It was justa yearago thata mining district was orzanized in the Medicine Bow range, twenty-fivo miles southeast of here, that was @ven the namo of Gold Hill. As a sort of auniversary celobration of its founding there has just bogun A cam- paign of devolopment that insures the exploiting of some of the most promising | claims in the camp. What was needed there was capital. It has been attracted thither. No longer is Gold Hill a prospectors camp; it is full-fladged, and consecrated to legiti mate mining. But the result for which the hardy pros- pector waited so patiently, and to the ac- complishment of which Tie Ber is conceded by all to have coutributed so much, was not attuined without great sdcr fices on the part of the original locators of claims. They have suffered pri- vatious and not a little humiliation. The only redeeming feature about tho strucgle they have gone through has been the confidence in the ultimate outcoms of tho camp ox- hibited by the business men of Saratoga. Her merchants have given credit to the min- s for the nocessaries of lifo—all that the minors asked for. Other residents advanced money for supplies requisite in development worl, I'ne owners of claims stuck by them satistied that so long as they “stayed by thom'’ they had fortunes in their grasp. "The year just ended has beon as it were one of provation for Gold Hill. So many slumps and fizzels have been recorded s tho epitonio of Wyoming mining ‘‘booms’ that capital and even residents of the state had grown skoptical that any good could come out of mining in the latest born of the commonwealth, This feeling of distrust in search after precious motals in Wyoming had to be overcome. Work was needed, but as a rule the men who had the good things of Gold Hill corraled didn’t have the money to do it on a broad enough scale to demonstrate the quantity or extent of the mineral deposits, the quality or richness of which has never been questioned. Mining experts by the score visited the camp and in- vestigated it thoroughly, surreptitiously or without reveallug their identity. They must have been satisfied, for never a word has there been publisned to the detriment of Gold Hill or by way of discounting its prospects. . Yankee Pluck Led the Way. These exports or agents of mining opera- tors awaitea the time when the winter's snows should pile up and drift over that camp on the mountain top, close timber line, to a depth of twenty to fifty feet, as was the case last winter, They bided the occasion they veckoned on when the miners should be frozen out, literally. But their calculation missed. 1t remained for a coterio of plucky Yankees to step in and reach for and get the persimmons. Conservative business men from Massachusettssatistied themselves that wealth was to be dug out of the mountains in and around Gold Hill. Then their money was ready to back thelr judgment and they stopped in and bought up or contracted for interests in vromising claims. Organization was effected in Saratoga last Saturday of the Tilton Mining and Develop- ment company, that will prove an importznt factor in demionstrating the value and extent of tho mineral resources of the upper Platto vatley and its surrounding mountain ranges While the operations of this company will, for the present, bo confined to the Gold Hill district, it has been incorporated on a suf- ficiently comprehensive plan so that 1t can engage in other than mining enterprises and extend its field to various districts besides the one in which it bas acquired numerous valuablo aud promising properties, The company includes us mombers the Holyoke (Mass.) synaicate, whose representa- tives made a thorough investigation of the mineral prospects of Gold Hill. After re- peated tests thoy bought a large number of claime. Into the new company has also been merged the intorests of the Paric City Min- ing company, comprising W, H. Greene, k. M. Greene, Lowis Johnson and J. B. Clarke, owners of the Acme, Lakeside and other promising claims at Gold Hill on which con- siderable development work has already been done. 'W. D. Tilton, an old miner and a well known ranchman on Brush creek, has con- solidated his interests in the Gold Hill camp and 1n the French creek country thatis em- braced within the limits of the Gold Hill district. It was mainly due to Mr. Tiltow's acuve work = and influence that the Massachusetts capitalists be- came interested in this country. The capital stock of the company has boon make 851,500,000, George Nightingale of Holyoke was elected president: Henry Hor- ton of New Eluven, Conn., vice president and treasurer; B. M. Greene, secretary; W. H. Gireene, general manager. and Messrs, Night- ingale, Horton, W. H. Greene, I. M. Greene, J.

Money is in the bank to provide for the erec- tion of a stamp mili and other machinery at Gold Hill and for pushing forward an active umns)nigu of development. President Night- ingale and Treasurer Horton are now in Den- ver, where orders will be placed for the im- mediate construction of the requisite ma- chinery, Ten S30-pound stamps aro to bo set up at once, together with concentrators, ore-crushers and self-feedors, For the pres- ent a twenty-five horse power engine is to be put in. That will sufiice to run the ten stamps and will be utilized for hoisting or other purposes at the mines when additional stamps aro added, which will be donoas soon on requires, to for tho mill has al graded.

Its location and arrange ments are admirable and such as to obviate any unnessary handling of the ore. So far as possible the mill will run itself. Cars will drive in at the top of the mill, unload into ore pius from three dumps, and ' then tue ore will run through the crushers, self-feeders, stamps and concentrators to the batteries, Wouderful Water Power. The company has been most fortunate in the selection of a mill site. Its natural ad- vantages aud the plwwof construction of the works decided upon xcited the admiration of William T, Syms, un experienced mill man who last weew made s critical examination, Mr, Syms is at the heaa of the Syms & Dud- ley compauy of Holgoke, oue of the largest papor concérns in the country that owns big milis, There is much In common in the principles involved in the construction of paper and stamp mills.

Assurancos are given that this { will bo supplied fastenough o that thore will be no delay in putting up the building to receive the machinery, that is oxpected to bo completed about the first of Decembor, Men are ougaged in getting out timbers for | uso this wintor i the tunnels, shufts and various other works in the mines, Contracts have beon made for 500 cords of wood and that will bo deiivered within a fow wooks, Work will bogin at once on a company store aud headquarters, This building is to bo 22x50 foot and two stories high. The lower floor will be fitted up for an_oftice and supply store that will bo stocked with all kinds of goodas, to be conducted by the com- pany. The need of a genoral store at Gold Hill has long been folt, and in this one it is planned to carry a large stock. The upper story of the company building is to be finishod off into sieeping apartments, A warehouse 14x50 foot, with & cel- lar will be buitt' 1 connection with the store. Hesides these buildings a blacksmith shop is bemg put up at the mouth of the Acmo tunuel in addition to the one now in use near the atore. Ore bins are also building at the Lakesido mine, Al told some twenty men are now emploved by the company, but the force will constantly bo increased. “Uhreo shifts are now working on both the Lakeside and Acme tunnel. They have each been driven near 100 feet, That on tbe Acme goes ahead five feat a duy and in a week or more will have cut the four veins that are now being exploited for, and will striko them at & considerable depth below tho surface. Must Mine or be Frozen Out. Everybody is busy at Gold Hill and nover in the history of the camp has thero been such confidenco exhibited in its futureas a bullion producer. The business-like methods of the Tilton company bas inspired activity ou the part of owners of claims. Men who had about made up thefr minds to do_ no_de- velopment _work this winter have resolved to go ahead and aro making con- tracts for putting down w shafts or sinking old ones to & greater dopth, A fow of tho prospectors who staked out claims by tho wholesalo on & *'spoc’” havo boen forced to part with their interests. They found that the district was not to remain idle this winter, and not having the means to do their assossment work, and fearful of losing their claims, unloaded them. In most wnstances what they relinquished have fallen into tho bands of men who are botk able and eagor to oven up the proporties. This insures work for a large number of men in the camp this wintor. Tho builaing is finished at Arastra lake, at the upper camp in the district, and the fou; dation is ready for setting up the ten stamps of Colonel S."W. Downey. It will not be long before the mill will be in running order. “The colonel has contracted for 500 cords of wood to be delivered at the mill by Novem- | ber 15, by which time if. was expected tho mill would start up. Other buildings, such as a storehouse and cabins, are to ve put up near by. Preparations are making for tun- neling into the Leviathan claim, on which a 100 foot shaft was sunk, and from which ore for the mill is to be taken. Thero has been an interesting development about this Leviathan lead recently. A lot of so-called *dirt’’ was taken out and thrown asido, A dozen ounces of this stuff was brought down to Saratoga this week. It was pauned and 30 cents.n gold obtained from the twelve ounces. That represents over 1,000 to tho ton. When this decomposad mattor was strucl i the Leviathan shaft it was left to ono side and the work continued down on an incline. No effort has ever beon made to detormine the width of this streak, but in somo places it shows eleven feot. Some who examined the Leviathan had an idea that this “dirt” would pay handsomely to work, but no mill run was ever made on'it. It is not at all un- likely that it will bo put through Colonel Downey’s batteries, New Strikes Being Made. A new shaft on the Wyoming claim has been put down and at a depth of twenty-five feet, it is reported that the vein has at last been located, Colonel Downey controls tho output of this claim,from which marvelously rich free gold specimons have been obtained. There has been a popalar impression that the Wyoming was nothing but a chromo claim containing ore pockets and that_uo true vein would ever be found onit. Not only hus a well defined lead veen reported to have been found on the Wyoming, but last weel one of similar charactér was struck on the Blue Bell claim, rully 5,000 feet north- cast of it I'he discovery was made about forty feet from tho Bluo Bell shaft and the vein runs parallel to the original find. Only a shallow holo was dug and in that the vein was two and a half feet wide. Development will 10 doubt bestarted soon to find out the value of the new discovery. Colonel Downey has another mill of twenty stamps that bas just boen overnaled, which is now being fréighted into Gold Hill over the Saratoga road. Tho boilor will bo used to run his ten stamps now being set up. A wing to the present building will bo added and the twenty stamps and other machinery put in position when the ten stamps are runi- ning all right. By the first of the yoar it is anticipated ail thirty stamps will be pound- ing away on ore from the Wyoming and Leviathan ciaims. It1s not at all unlikely that Gold Hill will have two post oftices before long. Compiaint has boen mado by the boys at the upper camp, 1 tho neighborhiood of the Downey stamp mill, that it will bo incon- vonient for them in stormy weatber and after the deep snow comes, to go down to Greon- villo town site, whero tho office is now located, to get their mail. To remove tho oftice 10 the upper camp would be equally as embarrassing and unhandy for the mon em- ployed inand around the mines ana mill of the Massachusetts company. Assurances are given that a second office wili be estab- lished. Then there will perbaps como a fight over tho name. As there are several Gold Hills in the mining state, the Postoftico dopartment christened the one m Wyoming plain Gold. It wouldn’t be a bad iden for tho department to give the namo of Silver to the new oue, for thore will bo as much and prob. ably o good deal more of the demonetizoa motal than of the precious yellow stuff taken out of the district.
