Oats ' The Buriington Extonsion, The extension of the Burlington road into Montaan is a question of time, and a vriof time at that. What route has been or will be ohosen is the subject of considerable specula- tion. A correspondent familiar with the sit- uation writes that considerable preliminary " surveying hus beeu done from Sheridan through northern Wyoming and southern Montana. ‘Tlie reports of the surveyors are now in the hunds of the directing ofticials for deciion. A line has been run from Sheridan in a northwesterly direction to old Fort C. F. Smith, ou the Big Horn in the Crow reserva- tion, a feasible route being tound by skirting the Big Horn mountams, following the old stago line pretty closely. 'k rom FortSmith an easy way is open to Fort Custer, where a heavy business in freighting could be se- cured. Iuisun open ecret thut the Burling- ton peoplo have made overtures to the gov: eroment for coutracts for that, businoss, in dentally urging that Fort Custer be not abandoned nor the force reduced whon tho new post at Helena is ready for occupancy. From Fort Custer a line was run to Pom- Poy’s Piliar, on the Northern Pacitic, thence morthwest to the foor of Bull mountatu, around thoso mountains to the west and porth to the Musselshell river, following that stream well up toward the Littie Belt and Snow mountains, thence west to Castlo and White Sulphur Springs and on to Town- send or Toston. From old Fort C. . Smith a line has been run aearly duo northwest to Billings and on 1o the Musselshell a few miles west of Bull mountuiu, thence along the line indicated above. Also from Fort Smith a lino has cen run south along the Big Horn river and Stinking Water creek, thonce along Snaka river, over the Teton’ mountains, south of Yellowstone park toward Ilackfoot, Idano. This line has 1 run o good part of the distance only on paper. Irom Billings a line has been run nearly due south to meet this projected lino at s poiut near wher - the Stinking Water omplies into the Big Horn. Another line, which has been more or less surveyed, winds tnrough (he mountains west of Sberidan to Pryor gap, near tho Moutana live, thence in & general north- wosterly direction to the Bear creek mines, mear Red Lodge, north to Big Timber, par- wileliug the Northern Pacific from Big Tim- ber to Twenty-Five Mile creok, near Liv- fugston, and thence uorth over a line ouce surveyed and oross-sectioned, so reported, by the Northern Pacitic, to ola Camp Baker, mear Neihart, reachivg the latter place and making friendly arrangement with the Great Northeru for the exchunge of busiuess at Grout rall Sowe work has beon done in the country north of the Musselshell, makiog Lines tend- iog toward Great Falls, leaving the river probably at Lavina or Copperopotis. Tho businoss of the road utter leaving Shoerivan will be live stock aud mining, the latter as you almost wholly undeveloped. The hive stock busitess is, of courss, alrenay establisbed, and looking ut that alone it would seem that the preponderance of ad vantages would ben favor of the line or lines runuivg from Fort O, F. Smith to Castle nad White Sulphur Spriogs, where councction could be made with the projected line from Helena to those places, As far as known, coutracts for construe tion work do not extend boyond Shoridan, Wyo., 10 which polut the roud will be com loted by Novewber 1. ‘The route is seventy- ve miles north of Buffalo.

John Kejee the Camera, Son Francisco Chinamen are metaphorio- ally io arms agaiost the enforcement of the Geary law requiring tbem to ba pnoto- graphea uud attach @ picture to the certifi- ©ates if they desire to remuain iu Lhis country ‘ulmrlflu T, 1063 The intent of the law i THE to cheek the smugeling of Celestials into the countrs. It is a well known fact that the Mongols tre pouring inta the country ncross 1h6 northern bordess, by way of Puget sound and through Mexico. Courts and police cannot cope with tho movemont, car. riod on as itis by mercenaries. Under the provisions of the Geary law every Chinaman must procure a certiticate,to which is attached his photograph, a personat description, age, place of residence, business, eto. Any one found in the countrey without such certiff oate after tho st of next May is liable to expulsion. The enforcement of the law provoked great fudignation in the San Fran cisco colony. A majority of the California Chinamen are little moro than siaves of the x Companies, & powerful corporation of wealthy Chinamon. With unlimited means at its control it has horetofore nullified tho oxclusion law. Employing unscrupulous attorneys it hooawinked the courts and landod thousands of Mongols by giving straw bonds for their Appearauce to prove thoy were provious residents. As the Geary law will, if enforced, destroy this profitable business, the Mongol monop- olv has declared war against it, ana will fight it 1n the courts. Tn n recent intorview tho Chinese vice consul indicated the line of battie: “To start with, the Geary bill is a gross violation of the treaty now supposed 10 be in_exist- euce between this government and the im perial government of China, It seoms as \f our peoplo tuink that all they have to do is koep such of the provisions of that con tract made between Lwo great powers as mnay suit them and violate such as they choose with 1mpunity.” The Six Compauies expect 10 overthrow the law on this line, and have set asido $100,000 for that purpose. Melican lawyers on the coast are promised a rioh harvest. But there is not much doubt of evontual defoat, Tho fact that the national supreme court sustained the Scott exclusion act forecasts like uction on the Geary law. Pecullar Const Formation, On the northern coast of California, about thirty miles below the mouth of the Klamath river, is ono of tho most intercsting natural formatious to be found in this country, Itis known as the Big Lagoon. Here the coast, which runs north and south up to this point, takes a sharp turn inlana, bordered by very high hills, ranuing to a distance of about threa miles, then turning out again makes u sharp bay, almost V-shaped, and for ages vast a sanabar has bee vashing itsetl up across tho bay untii tho bar has risen out of the water ten or twelve feet, having a width of about 100 foet and a length of four miles, reaching across the entire bay. This bar is in the shave of & roof. When there is a storm, the breakers roll up the side of it, break over and roll down into the bay inside, aud it is a novel sight to stand thero'ana watch the waters mountain high on one side ana perfoctly calm on the other., The live between the two at intervals is hiaden altozetber. This bar is a sort of short cut and can bo traversed on horscoack. In the storm the horseman ono minute will bo nigh and dry on land, the next u large wave will roll'up, and running under the horse’s feet to the depth of a foot or more, the rider will be for an instant four miles at sea on horsebuck. ‘hick W ed. chnck stoamer, Wetmora, after almost encireling tho glove, ingloriously ended 1ts career by running on the rocks on the Oregon =oast during a fog on the Sth wst. The Wetmore was the firstof the whale- backs built at Duluth for the grain carrying trado on the lakes. For speed and capacity thoy wero unsurpassed, and shippers pre- dicted thoy wora destined to rule the wave in that lino of business. Tho Wetmore not only crossed the lakes but successfully buf- feted the Atlantie, landing a cargo in Liver- pool. Next it spod around the Horn to the Pacific, thence to San _I'rancisco and Puget Sound, exverizncing sovere weather and suf- formg’ many accidents. Sho now lies bat- tered and bruised on the rocks at Capo Blanco, with no hope of getting her off. 1o Wi Tho famous wh: « o Lot Fishers, A complaint comes from California that the Chivese are ruining the fishing mn San Francisco bay. Particularly is tho shrimp business affected. Paying only $400 a year in licenses the Chinese fishermen send across the Pacific 1,000,000 pounds of shriwps an- nually and half as much dried fish, flounders, soles, ete, Great quantities of young fish are caught in their nets tonat are set all the year round, the resujt of which is that the bay is being gradually emptied of the grown fisL. This, of courso, is in violation of the law, and the authorities are oeginning to ve- stir'themsclves The Chinese lishermen, 1t soems, aro extonding their operations along the coast. Their camps dot the shore from the Sacramento river to Redwood slough. A Dukota Family, Near Yaokton is the most remarkable family on this continent—pernaps in the world, It consists of father, mother aud twenty-four children, and the mother of the brood is not vet 30 years old.
