From this streak was pounded out $4,800 in six days. A rough assay of the ore outside the ich streak gave $200 to the ton. We have Betwoon toriy ana sixty tons of this oro on the dump, and wilt immediately begin ship- ing it to Tacoma.” Onbly one ton of ore Eos aver oo shipped from the mine and it yielded 8304, The claim is 1,500x1,500 feet, With the quartz vein running diagonally across it. ‘Lhe owners havo run a tunuel 100 feet and have stripped_the ledgo 200 feet, The mine is fourteen miles from Northport overan easy road. It is only soven miles from the steamboat landing at Trail, on the Columbia. Named the “Eldorado,” Some fine samples of ore have been brought nto Laramie auring the past few days. They were brought in by J. S. Wat- kins and Judge C., W. Bramel. Mr. Wat- Kins, who is an old time prospector, has de- voted a good deal of time each summer for the past four years to prospecting, and for the past month he has been looking over the mining sections in this country. Soon after the Emma strike was made he went out there and after prospecting a day or two on the Bald mountain, where the Emma G. is located, went over on the main range about a mile southwest of the Emma G. Here he made what proves to be a won- derful strike. He struck a lead there the 4th day of August and now' ho believes it to be a true fissure vemn rich in gold and silver, He has kept the matter quiet until toda While absent from the eity, with the assistance of his son, he aid the assessment work on the claim and found that he had already over a sixteen-inch quartz lead. It is directly into the steep side of the mountain and lies northwest and southeast. The claim bas been named the Eldorado. ‘When he first madé the discovery he had an assay made from some of the rock and the rewurn surprised bim. He is now having other tests made, and if it continues as good he will sort the four of five tons of rock on the dump and ship it to Denver, He will take the proceeds to erect builaings with.

Ijams, secret of the State Live Stock commission, said in an interview with 1 for the Cheyenne Sun: colpts wt the mavkets of western cattle are about 20,000 a week short of what they were this time last year. The fact is that there is no Iife to the market and all who can afford to do so are holding ship- ments for an improvement. The business depression is felt in the cattle business fully as seversly as in any other. As a rule, take 4t the stato over, the cattie that have been shipped are not ap to the standard of the ate. Iu the northeastern part the cattle are good. They are as fine asusual, but Irom other sections this will not hold good. Thore is no market for feoders. Those who may desire to feed cannot get the money to buy with, and this class of cattle are at the meroy of the packers when thoy get on the consider pect of botter nsiderable pros- clopment worlk is Jand the populace ¥ reports of new gold strikes in x-foot vein of froe aid, “und_he To runs $270 ver.

Quite often has it hapvened of late thav a bunch of steers of fine quality have brought about 20 a head. After the freight is paid there is a protty narrow margin left.” Down on Anuexation, ‘I'ne Reno Gazette contains the following editorial: ‘“T'here is no longer any doubt in the mind of the Gazette that a scheme is being conceived, in fact has been already conceived, and the politicians are in the straw trying to give 1t birth, to annex Utah to Nevada.

L"yl'ho (Gazette wishes to sound the note of warning in time. If the state capital is to be removed to Utah, the G to would respectfully suggest 1o the people ofavestorn that they petition the proper authorities to be annexed to California and cut loose from & scheme that purposes the tail to wag the dog.

Upon their arrival here they were placed in Spring Valley water, which was first brought to the proper tewperature, and in the evening went on the long journey south. The greatest care is being taken of the interesting consignment, and it is thought that they will arrive at their destination with but slight loss. An Equine Glant, What is undoubtedly the tallest horse in the world is to be placed on exhibiiion at Mitehell. It is understood that the horse bus been leased by a Mitchell man to be exhibited during the season. It is probable that he will be brought to Sioux Falis Lo bit during the races. The horse is 8 years old. He is nineteen ‘winter will do the cattle industry in most of state a ghoat deal of damage.

The representative would have givon more but he was afraid the horse would die, as it was sothin and poorly nourished. In shipping, an ordinary stock car cannot be used and a farniture car is used instead. During the day while passing through Sioux Falls a large number of people called to see the horse, The mate to this phenomenon—a full brother, a year younger—was an inch talier at the same age, but he starved to death in tk.o pasture, State Soda is Good.

A Fat Grub Stake, We are pleasod to record the excoptionally good fortune which has fallen into the pock- ets of several of our citizens, remarks the Montrose Industrial Union. Some time ago Messrs. Vallandinghaw & Waddingion, the popular grocers, sent out Bd Lockwood and D. C.

The ore has been assayed sev- times and the result Is as stated. The v gold owners will not work the mine at present, as the mine is situated above tim- ber lino and the winter is too close, but with the first vestige of spring they will begin working.

Farm land in Cass county is about the safest kind of property in which one can invest, for the Increase is sure and certain. The recent sale by Galvin H. Parmele of a 240-acre tract of unimprovea farm land, four miles west of town, tops the noteh for gilt-eaged values. The tract was sold for £12,000, or an average of $50 per acre, and the trade was for snot cash. John Kaffenberger is the purchaser, and he takes possession next Ma Mr. Parmele owned the land for several years and made a hand- some profit on the sale. It clearly demon- strates that an investment in Cass county farming property is sure to reap a rich re- turn, Editor McGafin of the Bellwood Gazette is evidently a man of muscle, and, like the Arizona Kicker man, will not stand any “monkey work,” as witness the following from his last issue: *Clayt Smith got on a :buster’ Suturday evening and of course had it in for the Gazette force.

As the coun- try began'to settle up he decided to leave and go where he could find more solitude and loss of eivilization. He sold bis place to Sewver Nelson, now dead, but whose son still resides on the place. The money, some $500, was paid to Bloomfield one nightat 120'clock. 80 the story goes, aud Bloomfield was neve, seou after that night. His mysteri appearance created some little talk, known he bad been paid the money, but no investigation by the authorities was made aud it was generally believed that Bloom- field had gone out west. Last week, how- evor, a letter was received at Newman grove from Norway, in which it was stated that an old Norwegian upon nis deathbed had coufessed that he murdered “Johnny Echmoger” the night the latter received his woney for the farm and that he had thrown the body into an old unused well near the place where the murder was committed, and had dumped a load of dirt and rubbish on top of the body.
