Tdanoans Binstiog for Opals. Opals are supposed by some folks to be the rystallized and rock-imprisoned tears of ome unfortunate nymph whose name has lipped from memory, says the New York Jtecorder. If that be the case, she must ave done consid ble weeping out in the flogion now commonly known us Idaho, givhich, not content with having established Ui reputation for rich mines of gold and sil- er, has recentlv entered the market of hrecious stones with a really fine output of \lamonds, and finally opals, those lachry- n0se changelings of prophecy. This new in- lustry has attracted quite a crowd of pros- Phectors to the fields, and though the fever Mias not yet attained the height of that hich carried so many brave men to Califor- fiia in_the late 40's, yet thera is a consider- pble influx of capital, brains, brawn and pluck. The formation of the country in the vicin- s where the opals are found ‘indicates that t one period in its history, far back in some femote geologic age, it passed through an firdeal of ive. Marks of the great heat are gk very where on the rocks, and lavia abounds. t is'in those favored spots where the ter peraturc was just right that the opals are ound. The first thing to attract the attention of he visitor is the number of what at first em to be large ash piles, but which on oser examination are found to be heaps of il ccomposed lava. In these piles are found fine opal glass, ground up by some unknown orce, and these are e si that there re some opals i s what is called oek that pows en iue, which disp light d e of heat when touched to the tongue. jiWherever this bloom is found opals are not far off. L'his has been the experience in Dpaline. The opals found so far vary in size from that of a pea to a small acorn and are worth all the way from §7 to $40 to the karat. Saveral of them hava been sold at #10. Quite “mumber have been shipped to New York and have been examined by experts, who pronounce them very valuable and genuine o pals beyond all doubt, i The opals are found in the rock, imbedded ithere like raising in the depths of & huge cake. They are scattered around inthe rock, not in any particular way, nor in cordance with any special plan, but seem- ingly at haphazard. They are obtained b blasting. Care must beexereised in putting in the blast lest, by using too much powde: the opals be shattered to pieces. 3 Western Foderation of Miners Effected. Nearly sixty men who are practical miners nd whorepresent widely separated districts | n the northwest, completed in Butte last woeic she organization of the Western Feder- irion of Miners. The territory included in he jurisdiction of the federation covers nine tates; and within these states the member- phitp can easily be marked, when the organi- pation is complete, at not less than 60,000, Briefly stated, the objects of the feder: 10m, a8 set forth in tho constitution are: To pecure unity of action by the miners in all he states: to secure fair wages; to insist pon receiving w. and not being ompeiled to patronize company shops; to rocure the use of all ap- liances for the preser of he life, health and limbs of all mployes; to sccure suitable mining laws, jud the appointment of practical miners to aforce them ; to secure the pussage of laws rohibiting child under 16 yeurs from ping employed in mines: to prevent the wployment” of Pinkertons or other armed prees from taking possession of any bine, except the lawfully elected or ap- wted forces of the stato, who shall be na fide citizens of the county and state; make strikes unnecessary by using all norablo means to maintain friendly lations with employer and end wring byQarbitration and conciliation settie such differences as may vise; to use all lawful means to abolish ntract labor system where it exists, nd to insist on tho enforcement of the lien contract labor law; to demand the apeal of all conspiracy laws that in any way bridge the rights of labor organizations; to procure employment for its membeps in pro- lerence to nonunion men; it shall be unlaw- ul for any local union to enter as & union strike unless when ordered by three-fourths f its resident members, and on approval of he executive board, who shall have at least hirty days: notice of the action of the local nion, provided that when employers refuse give thirty doys notice or thirty days ime Lo consider the proposed changes in ages or working timo made by them to the ocal union, then it shall be lawful for such ocal union to strike in order to waintaie ts position and it shall be entitled to eceive all the assistance, which approval of he oxecutive board would entitle it to, A Minlg ‘What will very likely turn out to be the post important mining suit ever brought in he United States is now on trial in the ‘mted States court in Helena. It involyes question that has never yet boen settled i he courts and which is a disputed one under he mining laws, The question is whether fhe fivst discoverer of a mineral vein, the pex of which is on his claim, is entitled to Il the ore found within tho walls of that eln, no matter whother it stays within the s of that claim as it deopens or goes out- side. The St. Louis Mining company of darysville is the plaintiff in the suit and the Kimuuunwuuw , limited, is the de- fendant. The Montana company owns the gelebrated Drum Lummon mine, which was \liacovered by Thomas Cruse, a poor miner, and sold to an Euglish syndicate 000. Cruse had worked on the g sbock lode in Novada. When he went puvglnx around the dict at Marysville everybody there w: ld. Cruse saw indications which led him E believe that under ground would be found a vein very much like the Comstock. 80 he located the Drum Lummon, developed i, and then sold out to the English and with the proceeds started a bank. The m Lummon prope has since been enlarged b{ the addition of other claims, and it is today probably the greatest silver ucer on earth. Alongside the Drum mmon property is the St. Louis, bel ing to William May brother and a fow filmnwu Louis peo- ple in the pending suit is that the walls of thelr voin afe vory near to the line divia. Ing their property from the Drum [ummon, 0 veln, as L gets down, Inclines in the direction of the Drum Lummon property, they say. The latter company, it tonded, while keeping within its own lines, iins 8till taken millions of dollars worth of ore from the St. louis vein Hence the St. Louis people want a matter | of 2,500,000 damages. sides is not less than #5,000 a day. Saturday the jury brought in a veraict in favor of the Mortana company on every point involved Mining men say the rosult is well worth the he expense to both | exponso, in a_general way, on account of the question involved. Cattlemen's War In o Black MHills, The present trouble being expericnced bo- tween cattlomen and cattle rustlers in the region north of the Black Hilis bids fair to | | result in an open war which wili outrival the famous war between tha cattlemen and the rustlers in Wyoming somothing over a yearago. Notlong ago a small stockman named Orlando Giles, was found dead about ten miles from his ranch on North Grand | river near White Buttes. There had been considerable talk about Giles for a long time. He had a small bunch of cattle on the range, but had been hauling dressed beef to Dickinson, N. D., all winter, without ma- terially diminishing his ov/n herd., Forsome reason he never exhibited any hides of the rous animals he was slnughtering, and were many cowboys and cattlemen who were convinced that ho was killing other people’s cattle for his individual profit, This belief was tho cause of his death. The authorities were requested to investigate the murder, but they are ovidently intimi- dated by the rough characters who infest that rogion and no arrests have yet been made. A cowboy who arrived at Spearfish brings information that scouts are on the range every day, and that no one can ride any dis- tauce without seeing s horseman on some high hill quietly taking in the country with the aid of a telescope. Nothing escapes their vision, and it would be impossible for the stockmen to get a band of men together for the purpose of cleaning out the rustlers without attracting the rustlers’ attention. The rustlers say they will not leave, al- though notice has been served on them to depar he natural consequence is that a bloody r may be the outcome of the mur- der of Giles. The cattlemen aro determined to stop the depredations of the rustlers, who, on the other hand, are equally determined to stay in that country. Salmon Traps in Oregon. Between Chinook and Sand island, across Baker's bay for a distance of three miles, are over 300 fish traps, each of them costing at least §1,000. The most valuable of these were built of heavy piles along the edge of the main channel of the river. Fifteen of the latter were completely washed away side of an hour last week by the strength of the current, which also did a t deal ot anmage to the traps nearer the Washington shore, They were valued at 81,500 each, making a total of #2.500. In addition to this the damage done among other traps is fully $60,- 000, B. A. Seaborg of Tlwaco is one of the iest losers. The whole of the piling of the demolished traps, including all the gear and braces, was vashed clean out to sea, and at daylight not a vestige remained of any of the salmon snares that last night bordered the river channel held by deep driven timber and thousnnds of solid stakes. To work this de- on in so short a time the freshet must had an enormous power, for every pile that held the traps was driven through heavy beds of clay and sand in Baker's bay. It will be 1mpossible to replace any of them this season, and as the structures nearest the channcl caught a great majority of the fish the indirect loss, in addition to their actual value, will be very great indeed, Tt is feared that if the currents continue with their present force a large majority of the traps will be rendered useless, if not wotally destroyed and broken up. About 210 of the Baker's bay traps are owned in Astoria, and should much more havoc be worked among them the reduction in the pack of the scason will be very marked. Whopping Timbor and Whopping Storles. An announcement of the recent sale of some timber lands in Skagit and other down sourd counties to some Pennsylvanians says that one scction has over 100,000,000 feet of standing timber on it. This is probably an over estimate. In reply, the Tacoma Ledger says, we have some pretty tall timber in Washington, and we are fond of telling some tall stories about it, but the oldest inhabi- tant will dly be able to believe that a single section has been found with as fine a growth as thison it. Colonel Nick Owens owns a scetion in Mason county which has 50,000,000 fect on it, according to the cruiser’s estimate, and Nick has long been willing to bet it is the best single section in the state, at least 8o far as surveys are made, There are quarter sections in many sec- Destruction o tions that will scale 00,000 feet, or per- haps more. The St. Paul and Tacoma Mill company owns seven trees near Wilkeson which stand on not more than four squa rods of ground which have been scaled 25,000 feat each. This is at the rate of 7,000,- 000 feet per acre, but no such acre exists. Some cruisers say thoy have scon single acres which would scale 500,000 feet of good timber, but these statements are usually ro- garded as very large swories. The 100,000,000 section story is probably of the same kind. Pueblo's Blazing Fountain, The Pueblo City Railway company pro- poses to erect an electric fountain near the Mineral palace in the near future. These fountains are novelties, only about six having thus far been erected in America. Five streams of water are to be thrown by the one planned, each stream rising from seventy-five to 100 feet in the air. Strong electrie lights and many-colored globes are soarranged that all the colors of the rain- bow are shown in the shimmering waters, presenting a beautiful spectacle. The lights used are to be about four times the power of theordinary street arcs, or some 8,000-candle power, and are supplied with powerful re- flectors similar to those in use by the navy aepartment in the search lights, The oper- ation of the fountain requires the services of several men. The only question as to its erection lies with the water trustees of the city. If they will agree to furnish the requisite water the railway company will do the rest, and it is quite likely they will assent to the proposition mado to them. The U. P. Shops at sStarbuck. The recent destruction of the extensive Union Pacific shops at Starbuck, Wash., in which thirteen locomotives were destroyed and & damage of about $150,000 incurred, has aroused the efforts of the citizens of Walla Walla to have the institution rebuilt at that place, A proposition has been submitted to General Manager Dickinson and a deter- mined movement will be made to induce him to recognize the advantages of that location, The large pay roll tiat the company dis- burses through these shops aside from the money that the works would attract wher- ever established = makes the matter one worth striving for to any city. Nebraska and Nebraskans, The Hall county Sunday school convention has just been held at Alda. The state firemen’s tournament scheduled for next week at Chadron has been declared off, Bids have been asked for the erection of a new First Presbyterian church at Broken Bow.

Lively times are ox- 4, and the zap in the party now exist- ing may be widened into a chasm with blood in the bottom of it. As the patients at the Norfolk insane asy- lum were being taken back to the main build- ing from the amusement hall, where they had been dancing, two of the patients, Mrs. Peterson from Ponea and Jacob Stevens from Keith county, broke away trom the crowd and disappeared in opposite directions around the corners of the building. The attendants started in pursuit and captured Mrs, Peter- son before she reached the outs tes, but were not 8o fortunate in finding Mr. Stevens, who is yet at large. He is one of the mild patients and will, therefore, bo much more liable to succeed in getting away, since his sanity is not likely to be questioned by farmers or persons who may meet him. A woman named Sarah Abbott, bound for the Norfolk beet flelds, gave birth to a child at Columbus the other n'ght. In the morn- ing she rencwed her journey on foot with her infant in a basket. Later she was scen to ng the basket. She remained some time in the building and then left, going tgward the depot. No further attention wds given the matter until a member of the family on going to the out- house more than two hours later heard an infant crying. A short search discovered a live child in the vault, which, when taken out, proved to be a female child, healthy and strong, which fact 1s fully demonstrated y its having lived so long in such a foul place. The police were notified and the woman was arrested and placed in the county jail pending the action of the county attorney in formulating a charge upon which to try her. The child was placed in St. Francis hospital and is apparently none the worse for its experiencont the ds of its mother. The woman denies the ownership of the child and also denies having dropped 1t in the vault, but she has been fully identi- fied by the woman at whose house the child was born, and who waited on her and dressed the baby.

Tho Department of Agriculture at Wash- ngton appears to be exercised over the dan- ger threatened the farmers of the Dakotas by the Russian thistle. The Russian thistle grows in this state to be fully four feot across the top,and is broken off at the ground by the wind; then it rolls like a tumble weed, scattering its seed along its trail. Heroic remedies are required to root it out. A recent dispatch from Aberdeen, S.
