GRIT OF THE GROWING WEST Ribs of Arisona Are Spurs of Literal Gold, MINES FORESHADOW FUTURE CRCESUSES Romnance of Koslo's Wealth Not All Told ¥ot—Bods of Ochre Unearthed—A Pros- porous Copper Mine—General Budget of West apw. £ Gold is dead sure of its market with no quibbiing about its price, and the western slope is showing indications of vielding a Jarger supply than has been produced this many a year. Cattle and grain also find o more cortain market than manufactured articles and luxuries; hence the abundant grain crop, the fattening kine upon the ranges and the shining metal being du<t out . of the earth all combine to give the west as- surance of abundance and the ultimate means of spreading its affects to the more threatened east, where the results of scare will first attack the laboring poor. Teh Arizonn Mines. Some eight years ago Colouel J. C. Bullard came from Tombstone, Ariz, found and located in the southwestern part of Yavapai county, in upheaved spurs of the Harcuyar mountains, the Homestake group of mines, consisting of ten claims, as he then sup- posed, very valuable copver mines. Re- cently, however, he has found them to be the richest of gold mimes. The main ledge crops for 3,000 or 4,000 feet crosscuts, tunnels and shafts, showing it to be from four to twelve feet in width, the deepest shaft boing over oighty feet deep, with six feot of ore at the bottom. Samples from various parts of the ledge go from 0 §200 in gold, fivo or six ounces of silver and some copper. Colonel Bullard is confident with the de- velopment ho has done that he has at least $1,000,000 in sight, One-half jmile east of the Homestake up are the claims of R. . Bullard. §Siges from three to ten téot in width, orop out the whole length of the claims. Two shafts have been sunk fifteen ana twenty- five foet deep, rock from which goes from §20 to $150 free gold, South of this is the claim of Mr. and Mr: Robert Whiteside, Spoonings from the sur- face go from £10 1o #80 in gold. Directly south of R. B. Bullard's claims is ~ the Baby Ruth, owned by J. R. Beatson. On this claim the ledge crops out 300 feet, three in width and goes £10 to $150 1 st of this is the Monte Cristo, the same party, who, from the #ize of the ledge, about fifty feet in width, eropping 00 or 400 feet, and a sample from the bottom of a ten-foot shaft in gold and two ounces in silver, he will yet be a veritable Monte CriSto, the second. Kuslo's Wenlth Not In a tetter to the Butte Miner a day or two ago, Mr. I, P, Suydam says: *‘As the wonderful K Slocan mining region s creating such intense interest throughout the entire American continent and attracting thousands to the country in soearch of business and mining investments, ftake the opportunity of writing you. So many seewingly sensational reports have gone abroad of the immense richness of this country that many have become incredulous and doubt the truthfuln: of the reports, but I can assure you, and back it up with my judgment and seventeen years of exper- ience in mines and mining, that the half has not been told of the fabulous richness of the veritable treasure vaults.

A strike as unusual as it is rich and ex- tensive was made a few days ago within seven miles of Kaslo, on the north side of Lake Kootenay. The discovery w made by two young fellows named Anderson and Adams. It consists of a six-foot vein of pure yellow ochre, or mineral paint, while run. niug parallel with the vein is another about a foot wide, carrying gold and silver in equal quantit; The discovery was made above the snow line, at a distance of four miles inlana. The ochre can be taken out in im- merse quantities and is pronounced to be the finest article s in years.

An experienced man here, when shown the ochre, pronounced it to bo abso- lutely pure, and went so far as to offer the finders 6 cents a pound for it at the mine, he undertaking to erect a mill to pulyeriz it. There is no other mine of this natural artigle in the country, and the only one in the Cocur d’Alenes ‘was obliged to be closed because of its impurity. The Copper Bug, Forty-one miles northwest of Fort Collins, Colo, in the Prairle Divide district, is lo- cated the Copper Bug, a rich copper mine owned by Fort Collins capitalists, The property has only been worked a short time, but the shuft has penetrated a rich vein of ore, running from 40 to 75 per cent copper, and thera are at least ten or twelve cars of waluablo oro now on the dump. Arrange- ments are now being made for shipping the ore, which will be conveyed by wagon to vhis ety and then shipped by rail to Denver.

Judge Blair of the Commission Talks of Its Worwk, Now that the season for piscatorial sport is fairly bogun and the various lakes and streams all over the state of Nebraska are daily visited by men and boys In search of fish and recrsation, the followong upon the subject of fish propagation and protection from Judge J. H. Blair of the Nebraska Fish commission will doubtless bo read with in- tere: Speaking yestorday of the work of tho fish commission and the protection of the fiony tribe in the waters of the state, Judge Blair said: The Nebraska Fish commission, since January 1 of this year, has distributed and causad to be placed in the waters of this state, in round numbers, upwards of 11,000,- 000 wall-eyed pike, 500,000 brook trout, 125, 000 rainbow trout, 50,000 lake trout and about 10,000 yearling German carp. The distribution of bass and carp fry occurs in the fall of the year, and a large number of each of these will be scattered over the state at the usual time of vlanting this fall. “Unusual interest is:being taken, in various parts of tho state, in the work of the com- mission, ana particularly with reforence to the preservation of the fish after they are aistributed and placed in the water. In- quiries of the board are made from distant localities and tho commission 1s much grati- fied at the manifest interest. ““The points most inquired about are those rolating to seinng and the obstructions which prevent the free passage of fish in the streams, “The commission has been and is being greatly aided by the county papers, and for thisitis very thankful. A good, healthy public opinion in the several counties of the state, created and maintained by the news- papers, can do quite as much as all the offi- cers of the law for the protection of fish and the enforcement of the laws made for fish preservation, The legislature has placed no fund at tho disposal of the commission for the arrest and trial of those charged with the violation of the laws, and none is neces- sary if, in each county of the state, the news- papers and the people will take the matter in hand as they should do. The board wishes all the people of the state mignt have o botter wledge of the laws to tho propagation and pre- of fish, and in order to ist them in this respect would like to say: hat by section 204 ot Cobbey’s edition of the Consoliduted Statutes of Nebraska for 1801, it is provided that the Bosrd of Fish Com- missioners shall have the entire charge and supervision of all public waters pertaining to the collection, propagation, cultivation and vrotection of fish in this state, and shall adopt such means as shall, in ivs judgment, best promote the increase and preservation of food fishes. “‘By the next section (2 it is provided that the commissioners may take, or ca to be taken under the direction of the box any fish, at any time, for the purpose ot fish cuiture or for scientific observation; and they shall give special attention to the en- forcement of the laws of the state relative to the protection of fish and fisneries in the state. ‘* ‘Public waters’ within_the me: the laws, are, by section 5,669, de embrace all lakes, ponds, rivers, creeks, bayous and streams, except private artifi- cial ponds, subject to the exclusive dominion of single ownership. “This definition should be borne in mind when considering sections 5,068 and 5,669, By the first of these sections it is declared that it shall be unlawful for any person to catch, interfere with, injure, or in any man- ner destroy or maliciously disturb, to the damage of the private property of another, the fish in, or work connected with, any pri- vate fish poud not exceeding ten acres, in this state. Any person or persons violating the provisions of this section shall be fined in any sum not less than 310, not more than $100; and it shall be lawful for any verson to take up, remove or clear away any fish net, fish lines, or fish pound placed or put in the waters of any lake, pond or reservoir g ary to the provisions of-this act. +By section 5,669 it is declared to be unlaw- rson to cateh, kill, ijure or de- stroy any fish in any public water n this state, or in the Missouri river along the eastern boundary of this state, in any man- ner whatever, except with the use of the hookand line; and the use of seines, nets and other devices, except the hook aud line are prohibited and made unlawful, “By the same section it is made unlawful for any porson to have in his possession any seine, net, or other unlawful instrument or device for taking or acquiring fish with the mtent of using the same inany water in this state. Kvery seiue, net or other unlaw- fnl device under this act, found in any water in this state, or in the possession of any per- son intending to use the same iu violation of this uct, may be seized by any person, with or without warrant, and deposited witn a justico of the peacé or police judge, who shall cause the owner or person having such ine, net or other unlawful device in his on if known, to appear before said nd show cause why such seine, net wiul device should not be destroyed ; such court shall, upon such hearing, default, enter judgment. and in all condemnation such seine, net or unlawful device shall be destroyed under the direction of the court. And every v of any provision of this section is declared to be a misdemeanor, and every person, or association, or corpor: tion convicted of an offense under this sec tion shall pay a fine of not less than $25 and costs of the prosceution, or imprisonment in tho county Jail not less than ten aays, or until such fine and costs are paid. “By this same section it s also made un- lawful for any person, association of per- sons or corporation to place or establish any obstruction across any stream of water in this state that shall prevent the free vassage of fish along said stresm: Provided, That all persons, ussociations of persons or cor- porations erecting, owning or maintaining o mill damn across any stream of water in this state shallat his or its own expense con- struct and at all times maintain, subject to the approval of the fish commissioner, o suitable and substantinl iish way whereby all flsh pussing along said stream can readily s over or around said dam. And each any mill dam ov other obstruction s! be continued without such fish way shall be deomed and taken as a separate offense. The penalty is not less than and costs of prosecution, or imprisonment in the county Jail not less than ten days, or until such fine and costs are paid. “The commission must depend for the prosccution of offenses under the above tions entirvely upon local authorities and wish there might be perfected in every county some organization to keep a look out for offeuders. As said above, the newspaper is the best agent we can have to aid us in creating o public opinion which shall frown upon violations of these provisions of law; and the commission will appreciate fully the publicity which way be given to the pro- visions. and all encouragement which ma be given in perfecting such local orgal izations as shall secure their enforcement. “Wo wan y fisherman’s net destroyed, and every willful offender using them pun- ished.

HEAVEN'S BRICHT HERALDRY Rev. Hamma Says the, Omn Will Shineas a Welooms. Above. y - —e IN THE CENTER OF THE CELESTIAL DOME Sermon from the Lips of a Lathoran—Sun- day and How It Was Spent by the Woman's Home and Foreign Misstonnry Soclety. Yesterday was a day of more than usual interest to the Lutheran peoplo of Omaha. Several of the pulpits of the city were filled L by prominent Lutheran clergymen, and the servives at the Kountze Memorial church, where the Woman's Missionary convention has been held, drew large audience: The morning sormon was preachod by Rev. A. V. Hamma of Baltimore. It was an eloquent and offective offort. The theme was the glory and shame attached to the cross. In Hebrews, twelfth chapter and second verse, the speaker found a text that set forth the thought that there was shame in the cross. In Gallatians, sixth and fourteenth, the glory of the cross was represented. “Both of those passages speak of the cross,” said Dr. Hamma at the outset. ‘‘But one speaks of the shanie of the cross and the other of the glory that is connected with it. In some respects the cross of Christ is a thing of shame and in others a thing of glory. Back as far as the earliest ages, when the cross was first used as a means of execution, it was looked upon as being one of the most disgraceful instruments of aeath and torture that human hands had ever con: structed. Death upon tho cross was con- sidered the most revolting and disreputable of any of the various methods by which the nations had of disposing of their crimmals, When Christ had been nailed to the cross the laws of man and the hands of his cruci- fyers had done their worst to crown him with infamy. “Symbol of Mankind's Stn. From that day forth the cross became tho symbol of man's sin. It 1s the embodiment of man's infamy. How that cross tells the story of man's hate and ingratitude. But there is another view of the cross from which we see it covered with glory. [t tells the story of salvation. It reveals to man- kind tho measureless love of God. On that cross hang the sins and lusts of the human race. but the blood of the crucified Savior washes it all and makes it olean. Tho blood that flowod from the cross is sufticient to cleanse the world from sin. Here is tho glory of the cross. Prior t0 the story of the cross, man did not sce or know the full extent of God's love for the human race. When in the last bitter mo- ments of agony the Redecmer lifted his voice and said, ‘Father, forgiye them for they know zot’ what thoy do.) a_glorious flood of divine light came streaming from the cross to shine down the ages. Blessed cross. Cover it with flowers and let it shine forth as a guideand a glorious assurance of God’s wonderful love and sacrifice—not only 1 this world but through all eternity.” Welcome to the Pearly Gat The speaker then turned the trend of thought in a more personal direction ana asked his hearors what the cross was to them. ‘*‘ft is either a glory or a shame to every one in this audience. If you have ex- perienced the love of God m your heart and have realized the blesséd re ing power of His spirit, then that cross is a glory to you. But if you haye not acknowledged His love and Ais power, if you are hiding from the spirit of the Master, like some guilty thing, then it is a matter of shame and disgrace to you. Tho cross shall ever remain a symbol of pardon to those who seek the Saviour's love and guidance. I believe we shall not get through with the blessed symbol here on earth, but we will see it in heaven. When we approach the gates of the celestial city I belibve we shall see the radiant cross shining from the towers above and welcoming us to our heavenly home. In the center of the great dome of that eternal world we shall see the glorious cross in all its beauty.” ‘The congregation then celebrated the holy communion, Rev. T. J. Turkle conducting the preparatory services. In the afternoon at 4 o'clock a praise service was held, which was_attended b; very large audience. Mrs. D. K. Wunder- lich of Chambersburg, Pa., led the meeting and was ably assisted by many of the active workers in the convention, Evening Sesston of Lutherans. Notwithstanding the oppressive tempera- ture, the congregation of Kountze Memorial church last evening was of proportions that filled the structure. ‘‘Home Missions and Charch Extension” was the topic considered, and the exercises were under the direction of the Womans' Home and Foreign Mission- ocioty, the meeting boing: a continua- tion of those of the eighth biennial conven- tion of that organization, now in session. Mrs. H. A. Ott of Freeport, I, presided. After the devotional exercises, the program was devoted to reports from various home missions, the remarks being descriptive and explanatory of the work and pressing need of the respective missions, rather than sta- tistical. Mrs. A, V. Hamma of San Francisco told of the Lutheran work in the church’s com- paratively new field of California, and in- terested the congregation to some length in o descriptive historical sketch of that earthly paradise of sunshine and flowers. Rev. H. A. Ottof Freeport, 11l., told of the mission at that place, He said he promised four years ago to have it self-sustaining before the time for holding this conveation rolled around, and he was here to say his promise had been fulfilled, as on the 1st of last April his people had made up their minds that they were able o make both ends moeet without furthe ance from the society, and had return: sent to them. This had been ac by standing firm, in faco of the one time the advisability of giving up mission was seriously considered. speaker submitted a few fizures to show that it cost the Presbyterians $1 for ench new member taken into that chu last year, while the Lutherans expended but 815 for each new member received by them during the same length of time, Mrs, C. W. Heisler of Denver, who was ex- pected to ropresent that mission, was not present, and her place was filled by Miss ingham, who spoke of mission dificultios in the far woest. Cremated Callfornla, Mrs. W. S, Hoskinson of Sacramento la- mentod the lack of a Sunday law in Cali- fornin. She said that Sunday out there was a holiday rather than a holy day, and that lawn mowers and sprinklers were prominent features in respectable neighborhoods on the day of vest. She also said that the sa- loon was a potent element in the fleld against Christian work, and that it made California o land of jmilk and honey and lager beer. It was more popular thero to be out of the church han in it. She thought it essential that th ty should concen- trateits work on Califproia for the next ten years, wstead of dividing its strength and accomplishing but little. The services closed with the singing of the doxology, and tho benédiction by Rev. Dr. Snyder of Council Bluffs, “This will be the closing day of the conven- tion. It will be a b{isy day, as there is a good deal of business to bo done before the ladies can adjourn feclihg that they have ac- complished the work they came here to do. ‘The morning session open as usual at 9:30, and after the devgtional exercises are over the reports of seVeral important com- mittees will be takeu up.

A greater peculiarity is that frost does not affect vegetation on theisland. The lat- ter is about four miles long and three miles wide. On it is a lighthouse, built in 18] and a lifesaving stavion. Ex- tending across 1t is a heavy earthwork, built by the confederates in 1861, now a vast line of sandbank. The place isa hunter’s paradise six months in the year. The island was recently purchased for $25,000 by a Chicago man, who will build a hotel, and utilize the great forest of live oak and palmetto fora game pre- serve, This island isa bit of Florida anchored off the North Carolina coast. For two centuries wrecks have oc- curred along this streteh of coast, and looking seaward there are more signs of partially submerged blockade-runners which came to griof. Money is frequently oxposed by the washing away of the beach. One night in 1864 a party landed thero, and digging a hole, hid in it $175,000 in gold. er since this has been searched for. The pilots say that there are grounds for beleif that just after the war the money was dug up by a man who lived in that sec- tion, but others do not believe this, and it is only a short time since several per- sons from New York, Washington, Phil- adelphia, and Norfolk made search for the treasure. They used divining-rods and explored hundreds of places on the the island, working day and night. A Strange o the EDDY CHANGED KIS LUCK. Now He Tells a Pretty Good Himsel New York Herald: “Tt amused us a good deal that Eddy did not catch onto our fish lies, and we used to speculate how long it would take him to do so. “One morning we all gathered at the station and Kddy's face was radiant. This surprised us, for the early hours before sunrise had been so exceedingly foggy that we thought no trout could seo a fly, andas that was Eddy’s morning to fish the pond we all expected to find him bluer than ever. “‘Boys, I had amazing luck this morning,’ exclaimed Eddy, and there was aring of exultant sincerity in his voice. ‘It was frightfully foggy and I could not see my fly after T had cast it, 80 I did not expect anything, but the trout took it in a way I never heavd of, much less saw before. It beat any of you fellows’ catches all hollow. T kept pulling thom in and pulling them in till I stopped out of sheor consideration for you. *“This is downright murder! T said to myself; the tish are crazy, and I won't clean out the cntire Yuxul and leavo nothing for the other fellows! S0 T filled my basket from the flop- ping pile I had collected on the banl, threw the remainder back into the pond and started for home. Just then the wind sprang up, the sun came out, the fog rolled away in im- mense banks, and I found that [ had not been within 100 yards of that blamed old pond at all. “L swear to you boys, T had been catehing those fish right out of the fog!’ “lEddy had caught on.” e Blockade Ruuners’ Parvadise. In war times little Smithville, N. C., was a lively town. In no place in tho entire confaderacy save this was specio in any way current. There gold and silver, mainly the former, weve plenti- ful, and pilots who received as much as 5,000 in gold for taking out or bringing in’ o vessel lived in handsomo style. Some of these yot live there, but their “flush times” long since ended. it was “onsy come and easy go” with them. Most entertaining »s these pilots teil. It is really very remarkable that the blockade runners could pass the fleet as they did. The darker and ‘‘nastier” the night, the more agrecable was it to these little vessels, and thoy often cropt by under the very bows of a man- of-war on the lookout for them. The night Fort Fishor surrendered tho last blockade-runner crept in. Her captai and pilot were astonished when th B ceived no response to their sighals, secretly made to the peoplo at Port Cas- well. Instead they saw -flames here and there from the burning buildings. Up tha river all was still. The great bom- bardment of Fort Fisher, which, at Smithville, had made the air quiver with its concussions, was ended. The blockader crept in and made its way t Smithville. In the early morning hours the news was told the people on the vos- sel of the fall of Fisher, the march of the federal forces upon Wilmington, and what many of the half-stunned peo- ple believed was “‘the end of all things. I'ho blockade-runner at once left, her departurs being entively unopposed, and got away buck to Nassau, the then base of supplies from whence she had come.
