FOSTER-LAND Mountain Stde and pering Plain pterprise— Gleanings from Valley, from Shi Urban § Northwest News. ana Sturles of lost mines are common in the west. Their recent discovery and develop- ment are rare. The Big Horn mines in Northern Wyoming must be classed among the latter, According tothe mining romancist the mines were discovered by three men, John Eads, Henry Upham, and Michael Rap- ley, in the summ of 1869, Before the close of that year they came out of the wiidernoss with gold dust worth 75,000, They hind two carts, a log house and their tools, expecting to find the diggings again with- out difficulty. They iutended to return the following year, but the Indians were on the warpath, and it was not until many y afterwards that the prospectors ventured in again, Tuey found no traces of their ca and gave up the search when winter s At the littie town of Hyutville, Wyo., thoy told the story to iucredilous ears, A’ man vamed Wili who heard it ro- peated, remembered that whilo prospect- ing himself in the Big Horn Moun tains he had come upon two carts ualf buried in a gulch, Ho started for the wilderness at once, but after a lone and fruitless quest ho concluded that a new forest growth had long since covered up the evidences of tho gold kers’ camp. He found, however, a deposit near Bald mountain, and building a hut began to wash for dust without indulzing in the hope that he would ever come across the abandoned placers, Ono day he lost his horse, and while in pursuit of it penetrated a thickly wooded ravine. In its recesses ho discovered an old hut falling in ruins. It flashed upon bim that here was tho camp of the three miners, and he made an examina tion, to find their picks and cooking utensils, and 'an oid envelope with the name of *Jobi Sads” upon it. 'The following vear, 1888, he returned with his brother and brother-iu- law. They kept their own counsel and noth- ing was heard of the party until oine months ago, when the brother rode into Buffalo, Wyo., and summoned a physician to attend Williams, who had been seriously hurt by a falling tree in the Big Horn camp. The miners could kecp the secret no longer, and toduy the valley is dotted with the tents of a host of gold diggers. Bogus M hemes. The t extent of the mineral wealth of Butte malkes that eity the Mecea of boomers of bogus mines. Numerous wildeat schemes have their headquarters there, but compara- tively few in the city know of their exist- ence because they confine their operations among the gullible in the east. A gentleman familiar with Montana mines tells the Butie Miner how the gamwe is worked : “To my knowledwe there have been several cat schemes most su sfully worked in nity, but in the majority of cases eastern people have been the victims, As a result of one scheme projected in one of the canyons near this district there are people in Cincinnati and other sections of Ohio who have been thrown from aflluence to poverty. The company was organized here by non- residents, but the schemers who organized it knew Letter than to endeavor to sell the stock here. Those poor people in Ohio bit nicely though, and the schemers pocketed the swag. One great point on which they work their gamo is the ‘contiguity’ of their ground to some large and established mine. ‘“‘For iustanuce, before the sure thing mem- ber of the company goes east to sell tho stock he provides himself with a map of the compaay’s geound and the adjoining cluims, and in évery fustunce he has the claims he is representing on a direct line with and only a few yards from the established producer. T'his is the principal point on which he works a confiding public. I tell you this style of mining should be exposed and the newspaper that will do 1t will possibly be condemned by a few, but will certainly receive the thanks of bundreds.” Electricity in Mining, Electrical power is rapidly coming to the front in the ming regions of the wost. The main aavantages ave thus set forth by tae Eloctrical World: ¢ t, as a matter of convenience and officicncy, the distribution of power by electricity over tho distances actually necessary in working mines is far ahead o thing that has ever been at- tempted by other means. Fven supposing cheap fuel were readily obtainablo, tho elec- tric pump and drill and hoist and ¢ral cutter can be operatod at cousidorably less expense than by compressed air or any other known moans. Second, electricity has an additional and very great advantage in the ability it gives the engincer to obtain his power at a point where fuel is very choap or water Fower can be easily obtained, and transmit 1t with very slight luss to a distant minoe which otherwise would be compelled to sasnend op- erations entirely or put in engiues or com- pressed air apparatus under circumstances where the price of fucl would be almost pro- hibitive. These latter conditions exist at very many points throughout the western mining districts, whoro veius of the richest ore are sometimes found high among the mountains, where coal cannot be had unless carted for miles, no wood Is within con- venient reach, and even water powers are distant. The very successful use of eles- tricity in coal mines where fuel costs almost* nothing is a sufficiont example of its peculiar advantages as regards small cost of distribu- tion and vast couvenience of application,” Progress of the Great Novthern, Contracts have been lot for the construc- tion of the mountain division of the Graat Northern road, from Pugoet Sound to the Columbia river, The road is now under construction from tho summit of the Marias pass of the Kocky Mountains down the Flathead valley to tho Kootenai river, down that river to Bonner's » south to Sand Point, on Lako nd d'Oreille, wost along that river to Sun- agustene ferry, then west to Diamond lake, and south to Cnattaroy. ifhe lust named place is on the Spokane river, ana is about wenty miles north of Spokane on the Spo- kane & Northorn raiirond.

Word was received in Rapid City, 8, D., last woek that a lively war was raging between them on tho rignt of way in the Bald Mountain country. Both sides are paying high wages to hobo, who prefer fighting to working. ‘The shorif and forty-five deputies are on the ground try ing to preserve the peace. It is oxpected that a battlo will occur between the parties when theothér attempts to wmake a move on the grade. Somo lively developments may be looked for unless the officials settle the dispute. Restoring Sutter's I The restoration of the famous Sutter's Fort at Sacramento is the result of awakened associations of early days. in_ which the fort was couspicuous, ¥'he main building is fast nearing completion, even to the tiles, which sre belug laid in coment after tho fashion of the elghteenth ceutury architecture that charactericed the original fort. The wall which fs to surround it will be a rather formidable plece of masoury, 320 feet long | go almost as high as the furt itsalf. Be twoeen 230,000 and 300,000 adobo bricks will be required to baild the wall, but owing to the inclemency of the weather, this part of the work will bo postponed until next spring. The rather awkward discovery has been made that the southeast corner of the wail will extend into L streot, and it is proposed to widen the thoroughfare in ordor that the wall may run out to the limit called for by historical acouracy. and his blacksmith shop cannot until this question about the wall is settled. It was in the general's room that the first gold discovered in California was examined, and the result of the test made known by Jotin Marshall, Sutter and George Jonn Bid , who, by the wiy, still survives, Tho property on which the fort is to stand was purchased by the society known as tho and Native Sons of California, and the state ap- | propriated $20,000 for the work of restoration.
