PULSE OF WESTERY PROGRESS The Advance of Spring Stimulating Ac” tivity in All Directions, BRIGHT PROSPECTS IN THE BLACK HILLS Utah's Mineral Weanlth—Reminiscence of Nevada's 13ig Mine—Salt Lake Freshe ened with Natural Gas—General News of the Northwest, The mineral output of the Black Hills for 1602 promises to exceed that ot any previous yoar in tho history of the district. Confi- dence is baged on substantial grounds, Not only aro the old reliabie mines holding their own as wealth producers, but new mines are being openea and worked with unusual vigor. Increased transportation facilities, local smelters and improved labor-saving appliances have wrought & great change, in- creased the income of the richer mines and made profitablo the working of low grade ore, herctofore wasted and thrown aside on the dumps. ‘“The monthly product of the mines tributary 1o this city,” says the Dead- wood Ploncer, ‘s now, in round numbers, £500,000, and according to the estimato of ove of the best informed and most conserva- tive business men it will within ninety days have increased to not less than §750,000 per month, Tho figures were reached by care- ful caloulation and are susceptible of casy verification, hoy credit the Homestako ug- mregation with §50,000 per month; the Gol- den Reward, when increascs now being made to capacity of its works arc com- pleted, £60,000; Consolidated Milling corm- £00,000; Welcomo works, 60,0003 ny, Kf‘c(ico&.l)legllng mill, $40,000.

Rabbit drives in California are a prolific sonrce of wild-oyed stories and slaughter. The wholesalo killing of bunny appears to have demoralized the local scribes and pro- duced a painful coolness between them and truth. Tieretoforo these wierd tales of bunny and blood passed unnoticed, but this indiffer- ence provoked the champion liar and induced an _eruption that throws several dark shadows over the best efforts of Mulhatton. During the Grand Army encampment at Fresno on tho 13th, the veterans to the num- ver of 500 participated in a rabbit dri Their number was swelled by tho towns- ople, forming an army of 5,000 persons, gfvluinz into three wings. But let the K'resno genius have his say: ‘‘A slowly con- verging lino eloven miles long was thus formed of fully 5,000 people. When within five miles of the corral, the center and wings wore joined, tho people dismounted and o semi-circular lino of battle was formed, with agos in the rear. ho slowly converging line moved on, driving before them tho jumping, leaping, dodging mass of hares, About eighteen sec- tions of land had been covered. ““When within view of the routh of the corral the sight was onoe which once wit- nessed could never be forgotten. Before the coutracting line of men, women, boys and girls lay about 500 ncres of plain so thick with madly rushing haves that the ground was actually hidden from sight. - - “Photographs were taken of tho mass they lay huddled up, and then the vet guard of California, clubs in hand, wero formed in line of battle, and witha yell moved down upon the massof 25,000 bunnies, clubbing as they ran. A sickening slaughter o0k place, lasting about an bour.” Five hundred acres of plain hidden from sight by 25,000 rabbits! There is nn ugly discrepancy here, overlooked doubtless in the wild cyclone of slaughter, Three ordin- ary rabbits would not be inconveniently crowded on & square foot of ground. But allowing tho California animals one square foot each, 43,500 could be accommodated on aa acre of ground, or 21,780,000 on 500 acres, Putting aside analysis, we doff our hat to l‘:!m 'resno iiar and tho ozone that sustains m, The Salt Lake Tribune maintains, without qualification or mental reservation, that “in the abundance and quality and variety of’ mineral products, no other state or terri- tory compares with Utah.” The claim is based on comparative figures, “In 18! says the same authority, *‘this country pro- auced 54,500,000 ounces of silver. Of thau amount Utah produced atout one-seventt, and has about the best silver mines in the world. In the same year, 161,754 tons of lead were produced of a value of §14,266,703. We believe that Utah produced more of that amount than any other state or terri- tory, and that sho has the best lead mines in the world. In the same year, 64,083 tons of zine, of a valuo of $6,200,407 were produced. Utah could easily supply one-sixth of that amount annually. = One hundred and twenty- nine tons, valued at $40,756, of antimony were producea; Utah could easily supply that amount annually im antimony of a purer quality than that found anywhere else. Tho valuo of building stone is put down at #47,000,000. Uteh could easily supply that amount without any difficulty. ail by herself. Twenty million dollars worth of natural gas was produced, Utah hus natural gas going to waste. Six million dollars worth of cement was produced. 'There is no place on carth where cement could be made cleaper, casier and beuter than right here. ‘Tne value of tha salt produced in 1500 was $4,752,2586, Utah has a salt sea and salt wountains—cnough to supply the world. And as we run down the list and note the cles—limestone, mineral waters, potters’ gYPSum, pyrites, manganese ore, as- haltum, ete,” with which the territory s abundantly supplied, the fact is apparent that Utah affords a most tempting fleld for profitable industrial enterprise, Natural Gas and Water, * The discovery of natural gas in Utah Is scarcely two months old, yet in that brief period the fortunate prospectors give evi- dence of o thorough realization of the value of the find, The company controlling is al- ready capitalized at £,000,000. Major T. Doxio, the natural gas man of Indinua, has bought a half interest in tho property, pay- ing 250,000 therefor. in roturn tho company has lot to bim the contracy 2t 800,000, it is aald, wrxw natural gas from tae lake shore to_Salt Lake City and Ogden. Natural gas has beon found near Ogden, After boring six days and atwining o depth of 200 feet a six foot flow of perlectly odor- less geas was strack. In boring the drilt passed through a shalo which 1s so lmprog- nated with oil that it would cause no surprise if petroleum was found at any time. ‘Phe rogion of country east of the Great Salt lake shore and the” Utah lake shore has been for wany years regarded us rich in oil and gas. At Brigham City © miles north of Ogden, natural gas has been used for threo or four years in burning brick aud Jmo. ‘The same thing has been done at Lehi, -two miles south of Salt Lake City. ows that abundant gas exists in Utah, The Gods Too O1d. W. C. Reichenecker, a Seattle jeweler, has begun & suit involving the possession of two Buddba gods 700 years old, The idols in question are two hideous little specimens of Japanese carving in ivory, and the material, once snowy white, is now brown with age #nd the touch of thousanas of devotecs. Reichenecker—who, by the way, is no virtuoso—bought the gods some time ago from a Japanese importer in Saun Francisco, Ichi Ban by name. They came with a lot of other curios, but when Reichenecker un- kod them he was much disgusted to find at the little y deities bore every ap- noe of age ‘The cerrespond- ence, ince been made public, shows that Reichenecker wrote an augry letter to Ichl Ban doeclaring that Seatile merchants were uot country peddlers Lo have 0ld shopworn Budahas palmed off on them. The importer politely answered : “You spenk of the Buddhas bsing old and shopworn, Ihat is exaotly what gives them their valus. They are pieces of work made perhaps 600 or 700 years aeo, None has been made in tho last fifty years. Theso have vsen handed down from age to age in some old Buddhist temple through ten generations of riests. Pr They are as perfect ns any that might be found. They were mado by divine command before the prosent dynasty came into power in Japan, some 340 years ago. And let me tell you that there ars but fow Buddhas left there now, as the finer and older ones have been bought up and ecarried to Burope. “If the two pieces you have now were in Yokohataa they woula doubtless bring twice what we charged you for them, as we bought them several years ago, having completely gutted tivo or three temples.” Reichenecker, however, still felt that he was cheated in his bargain for the gods, and has had recourse to the courts, A Nole That Yielded %150,000,000. “1 was strolling with John W. Mackay some years ago in Virginia City,” writes John Ruseell Young, “'when we looked down a smoking cavity in the ground that was 000 10st in the darkness, and at tha mouth of which a windlass was slowly grinding. ‘Out of that liole,’ e said, ‘I took 150,000,000 in bullion.’ This was one of the famous Bonanza mines, whose history all men know. The Big Bonanza, as it was called, and as Mackay described it to mo at the time, was a ‘kidney,' or a ‘pocket’ of crude ore, about as high as the steeple of Trinity and in area as large as the City Hall park of New York. This ore shoveled out and reduced, gave the stupendous yield to_which Mr. Mackay re- ferred, and was the foundation of the Bonanza fortuncs. Assoclated with him were threc other gentlemen whose names were 1o win a world-wide mining fame— James G. [Malr, afterward senator [rom Novada, Wwhose skill as a mining expert had attracted the attention of Mackay: Willlam O’Brien and James C. Flood. O'Brien and Flood had come to California as friends in the Argonant days, and had, like other men, taken thoir humble parts in the creation of the Pacihc states. In those times' men who wero to bo major generals in the army drove drays for a living. Others who wers to be- come iuminous in statesmanship and juris- prudence joylully mended their own trousers and washed their own linen. They were ‘partners,’ a term that Brot Hart has pathetically explamned in one of his ex- quisite stories, ‘Partners,’ that is to say, friends, with a friendship such as we who live outside of the atmosplicre of adventure which enfolded the Argonant days can not understand and which would be but vaguely explained 1if we compared 1t to the love of mun and woman." ander on Wyomling. A Harvard man who has beon living in the west writes to the Boston Herald detailing an incidont fo which Bishop Talbot was the principal figure. The bishop had arrived one day in a small mining town in his dioceso (Wyoming), where he bad promised to hold a service. {\'ulklng up the street, he noticed somo green handbills flying avout, and ho picked one up. It read as follows: “Bishop Talbot preaches tonight. Lot him have a big erowd. “P." S, Leave your guns with the usher.” Tho bishop was not easily scared, but ho thought the postscript odd, to say the least. On inquiry he learned that young Mr. H. wanted to raise o good crowd to reet tho bishop, and he had issucd the handbills, knowing that many who would not come to hear a bishop preach would come at the hint of a disturoance, The bishop's stay was *'a great go.” A One ot the Boys.

Things are just as lively as they were somo two weeks ago, Many come here expecting to make a fortune 1n a day or two, and aftor looking av the hills and not secing a pro- fusion of silver ors visible to the naked oye, shrug their shonlders, shake their hoads and make a break for the first train going oast. This tenderfoot element do a camp of this kind more harm than good. Your corre- spondent has been here uow a little over two weoks, and during that time has seen a great many changes, Because trade is a trifio lighter is no indication that the camp is not improving, For quito a while there was a great number of land speculators here. After securing what they wanted they packed their traps and pulled out. The Building Boom continues. Jimtown proper is jammed full, and now what is known as South Creede is building at lightning pace. As soon as the snow begins to disappear you will perhaps hear of some wonderful developments. At present things are working slow, but there will not be a 100-foot space of this district for twenty milas square that will not havo been prospected by July 15, ana by that time the population will reach 12,000 or 15,000 peo- ple. _I'he presont population is betwoen 6,000 and 7,000, A new town is to bs about two or three miles cast of Jimtown on a high, level ground. It is called Wasson. Tha owners claim thoy aro going to put in large cement, brick works, a lime kiln and a number of other per- manent enterprises. The sice selected is certainly a very beaatiful ono on the banks of the Rio Grande, whero the water is as cloar as spring water. In fact it is spring water and melted snow. The location is be- tween Jimtown ana Wagon Wheel Gap. The latter is an old summer resort which contains mineral and Lot springs. An electric railway 15 to be built from Wagon Wheel gap to Jim- town, which will run through Wasson. The Denver & Rio Grande railroad has bought property at Wasson and_expect to makoe the town o junction, and aiso extend the road about fourtoen miles up the river, with a branch to Creede, There is no doubt but there will b a large town located between Creedo and Wagon Wheel Gap sometime before the midsummer. The Denver & Rio Grande have 300 feet on both sides of the track at Wasson. Lots have been taken off'the market and will be held off for a_few days. The mountain sides along Wasson are covered with tail cedars. Atout the Mines. From expert miners I learn that this is the strangest mineeal formation that has ever been discovered. It is entirely different from anything they have seen. Iu is mixed with sand, sprinkled vory much with mica and streaks of ironand lime formations. There are some parties who intend to bore to the depth of 500 feet with diamond drills to prove the theory thatithere is anunderlying vein of rich ore. The Holy Moses mine, tho first location in the camp, is nearly a milo and” a half from tho head of the ralroad. The ore is hauled by teams for a mile, the rest of the distande being covered by .8 \ire tramway, recently completed. This tramway 18 nearly 2,100 feet long:and has a fall of 1,082 feet, The mine is tharefors at,an, aliitude soma- what gheliter than that ol [.éadyillé, the ore |- bin at the lower end of the tramway is right down in the gulch, so there is no difficulty about teamming. Tho Moses has two shafts, one 300 1ect and the other 12) feet deep. A tunnel has peen driven which striies tne vein at a depth of 120 feet and numerous drifts and upraises have been run, some of them developing very large bodies of ore. ‘The mine has produced steadily and there is no apparent imit to its ore.” While the main body runs 80 to 100 ounces of silver tothe ton, somo chambers run very much higher, but the avorago is about 100 There was a wild rumor started Sanday that Jeff W. Smitn, probably better known as **Soapy Smith,” bad struck a high C note on Creede Crag, claiming that the ore would run 1,000 ounces, but I have failed to getany feliable information regarding his great find in what ho calls the *Littie Cinnamon’ mine. Smith is a rustler and will some day come out a great winner. The directors of the Last Chance mine have already commenced putting in their machinery. They have just reccived one 175-horse power boiler und more aro on the way. ° T’no owners of tho Amethyst mines have oftered tho owuers of the Daisy £125,000 for their property. Tae Daisy adjoins the Ame- thyst on the north and lies side by side with the Cleopatra. The owners of the Little Vernie and Black Garl 2laims ou Mawmoth mountain refused $15,000 for the property. They are holding out for £0,000. The ¥ Few of the thousands who have struck it rich in the west have shown greater indiffer- crence 1n his chaned financial condition than N. C. Creede, the founder of this camp. No one could teli from his manner or conyer- sation that his wealth slready mounts into the millions or that bis income at_present exceeds $1,000 a day. He wvas offered 1,000, 000 for his interest in the Amethyst mine, a property on which he gave an option for 000 last December, Mr. Creede is o native of Indians, born in ‘At theage of 19 he enlisted in the United tos army and for sevon yoars served us a scout with the Pawnees, Siuce 1570 he has ] ! 1lrflmpcd over the west, pursuing the fickle der of Creede, zoddess of fortune and ' participating in vari- Ous mining stampedes. He was in the Black Hills before gold was discovered. During tho last fifteen years ho has been prospect- ing in Colorado, enduring great hardships and privations that would kill the average man. "The first indication of minerul in this sec- tion was struck by Mr, Creede in May, 1890, on the side of Mammoth mountain, It was float. *1climbed tho mountain,” he smid, describing his experience, “‘along the trail of the float. Tho sun was beating down upon me and e glint of tho float under my feot was plinding.
