|~ THF OMAHA AN UNDERGROUND EXHIBIT An Artificial Gold Mine to Appear in Oali- fornia's Bunset Qity, MILLIONS IN ORE TO LINE ITS WALLS Futare of Crippls Creek—A Remarkable Hen Story—Poor Lo's Tombstons— Beet Sugar in Colorado—Far Western Items. Regular shaft, regalar drift, regular lev- els, in fact a regular gold mine right in the heart of Sunsot City. There was a minine exhibit, of course, in Chicago, just as thers always is in every ex- position, but the mining exhibit to be di vlayed at the Midwinter fair will be to all previous exhibits as an international expo- sition to o dime museum, says the San Francisco Kxamines The men who have been piaced ia charge of the mining department have resolved to make their exhibit the most remarkable and attractive of the entire fair, an exhibit that will be worthy of a state that is producing more than $1,000,000 in gold every month. A shaft fifty feet deep will be sunk in' some portion of the fair grounds and will be fitted up with the most approved and inter- esting apphiances that are in use at the mines. It will be a double compartment shaft, and will be made to illustrate the tems of timbering that are common in California. But that is not to be all of the mine. A drift 150 feet in length will be extended from tho main shaft, and in that drift all of the processes of mining will be illustrated, with exhibitions of the machine drills and the finest implements that are manufactured for the purpose of breaking into the bowels of the mountains, On u Working Scale. The shaft and drift will be made large enough to conveniently accommodate the visitors and adequate precautions will be taken to make the mine absolutely safo. Elevators will be run as they are run 1 the larger mines, but they will be constructed so as to bo comfortable and secure for passen- ger trafic. The drift will extend in a circle and the cars will continually move about on rrancan route. purpose of plainly exhibiting the underground systom the mine will be illu- minated by electricity. In addition to the mine itself there will be a mill and as thorough an exhibit of all the mining processes as could be found on the coast. [t is intended to show the world just what mining is and to make this exhibit an educational feature as well as a means of attracting people. A five-stamp mill, a rock-breaker, an ore-feeder and a concen- trator will be in full running order, and gold —the actual hard gold of California—will be actually extracted from the rough-looking rock that is brought from the mountains by the carlond. The visitors may see the ore before it goes into the mill, they may follow every process, and they may sce the bright gold as it iscleaned up. And then if they want to follow the line of California indus- l,r{ they may make a trip to the government nt and soe how the barrels of big, round 820 coins are turned out. Every system, old or new, connected with California mining will be: exnibited, and contrasts of half a century will be sharply drawn. To most of the Californians this will not be less interesting und wonderful than to the mild-mannered Esquimau, the gold expert from the Bank of ngland, or the World's fair authority from Chicago. Life and motion will be unending in the mining camp, and excitement is sure to run high in the contests that are proposed. Great Drilling Contest. Each of the sixteen or seventeen mining counties will send teams of its best men to compete for diplomas in the ordinary work that miners do. The contests will include: Single-hand rock drilling, one man wield- the hammer while holding the driil. uble-hand drilling, with one man strik- ing, while the other holds the drill, Triple-hand llrillillfi. with two men strik- fng, while a third holds the drill. Good hard rock will be provided and plenty of it, but when theso selected miners got down to their work the ablest quarry- men of the world will be surprised to see how rapidly the holes are driven. cisiy in the contest will be based on the r: of the drilling and the condition ot the work. The mining exhibit, aside from the mine and the machinery, will be by far the most massive thut hus ever been known. It is estimated by W. C. Ralston, secretary of the commission and one of the most active men in tho project, that the ore and specimens alone will amount to more than $1,000,000 in - value. ‘Uen thousand square feet of space has been set apart for the exhibitlon in machin- ery hall. and the commissioners declave that they will fill that space with minerals worth looking at. People who could not have been induced to loan exhibits for the Chicago fair nave declared that they will bring their cabinets with them, and, furthermore, that they will stay right with the cabinets. The mining neovle will feel at home here, and the eastern pickpociket who concluded to escape with some of the finer specimens will need to previously borrow a bullet-proof suit of clothes from the hippopotamus depart- ment. Gold will be by no means the only feature of the mineral exhibit, and there will also b silovr, lead, quicksilver, borax, chrome, antumony, manganese, lime, marble, build ing stone, petroleum, asphaltum, bitumin- ous rock, clays, col,’ salt. alum. asbestos, bismuth, ti nent, plumpbago, gypsum, iron, infusorial earth, kaolin, metaliic paint, mica, nickel, ochre, ‘rock soap, slate, sul- phur, talc and other substances. Tho com- missioners say in this connection that in the “immigration hterature issued in this state fow if any of these substances aré even mentioned as products of California, yet in several instances they are produced no- where else in the United States. The value of the total mineral production of California is about £20,000,000 per anoum, In forty-threo years the gol(l has amounted 10 $1,295,000,000. ‘I'ho output last year was $18,000,000, notwithstanding the ‘decrease caused by the prevention of hvdraulic min- e Water at Last. The future destiny of Cripple Creek was finally determined yesterday, says thoe Crusher, when watér for the first time flowed through the main of the Michigan Pipo Line company. From now on and for all time it will be impossible to wrest from Cripple Creek the right to the title of the metropolis of what is destinod in the near future to become everywhere recognized 28 the greatest gold mining cawp in the world. In the past business men have not courage to bring large stocks of goo or to iuvest but lictle money in building on account of the utter lack of fire protection, But all this is now changed.

Munchausen's Hennery, ‘The fable of the goose that laia golden egis has at lust been outdoue by a Butte urnal upon wiose veracity we rely for the lowing story: J. A. McConville, who ves on Montuna street, Butte, Mont., killed one of his chickens for dinner, and on cleaning it was surprised to find uqulnl:{v of gold nuggels in the crop and gizzal H“lnk about th more chickens on hand tegan killing and examining them.

Mr. ville bought some fifty more chickens aud turnea them out in the gold fleld la the Yacluity of his heu coop. A8 au experiment, He commenced upon one was killad and $2.80 in gold was taken from its inside works, the result of a four days run. Mr. McConville has a virtual bonanza and expects to be & millonaire if the chickens hold out. Stuok on the Moon. Some of the orders for goods received by the merchants of this city, says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, are extremely laughable and cause no end of amusement to the em- ployes who have the fun or the work of sup- plying whimsical pustomers with what they want, One of the jobbing houses racentl ceived a letter from Alaska from one of l'! regular customers, who had just returned from a visit here, ordering a tombstone for a living Indian. The letter said: “‘Before I left home an Indian wanted me to get him a toombstone four feet high with the figure of the moon on top. Ho brought me a piece of cardboard cut thus, (an oblong surmounted by a circle) so I would be sure and get it Jjust right. Below the round part, or moon, he wishes a pair of hands clasped. Well, I did uot think of the stone while at Seattle. Can you get the stone and send 1t with our goods? A facn is to be cut on the moon to resemble the man in the moon, also the name ‘Kohlkeat' to bacut onit. 'As the man is still living, and 1 do not know when he will die or when he was born, 1 think we will put no dates on the stone.” 1f the Iadian should refuse to accept the atone it will be an easy matter to name some other [ndian as the stone is lettered and save the tombstone for him. But there is no danger that an Indian will ever allow anything to escape him if it can be used to ornament his grave. Beet Sugar Colony. Utah, Nebraska and California are not to be thesole canters of the beet sugar indus- try in this countty, says the Denver Times. Negotiations are now ‘in progress between Counts Lublenski of Warsaw and Wezesin- ski of Posen, Russian Poland, and Colonel A. C. Fisk of Denver for the possession of 15,- 000 of 20,000 acres of suitable lands 1n this stato for the growth of the sugar beet and the manufactureof beet sugar. The scheme is to move 500 Polish families to Colorado to cultivate here the beet farms, and the dis- tinguished prospectors have been roving over the states of Minne Dakota and Nebraska under the conductorship of Colonel Lunn of Grand Island, Neb., who 18 much in- terested in the beet sugar industry. The projectors of the movement have at their command $100,000 left by the will of a distinguished Polish woman for this pur- pose, 80 that as far as cold cash is concerned the new colony will be “'strictly in it.” Count Lubtenski, in speaking of the mat- ter, sald: “Our people all understand this culture thoroughly, and the fact that their women and children work in the fields gives them great advantage over ordinary Americans, ould not stand such a system. Of the action of congress on a sugar law will be of great importance to us, its repeal without the replacing of tax would seriously hurt our enter- We don’t look for that.” xpect the colony to be moving early in the spring. 'he count and his associate have left for Cl g0 to be present at the closing of the World's fair; but they will return to this city in a fow days to completa the prelimi- naries for the immigration. Sportive Whale. The quiet and serene waters of Monterey bay have been disturbed by an_intrudor for the lnst week or 80, which has afforded much pleasure and amusement to_the people of this vicinity. This intruder is a huge whale, which seems to enjoy the situation also. He has been continually emerging from the water and spouting to a great height. It is thought he is of the bone-bear- ing species and several fishermen have been in pursait, butowing to the cleverness of "’{’ whale they have failed to capture the rize, 1t is said that it is the largest of the kind that ever camo into Montorey bay. Owing to his being here at this time ho must have been sidetracked in somo way, as most of the whales have retired to the warmer re- gions of the south to rear their young. A Successtul Miner. J, Henry Longmaid, who last week visited one of the most successful young men in the state, which he has dem- onstrated by his worl in the Empire mine in Lewis and Clarke county, says the Inter Mountain. He took hold 'of this property where others had failed and mined and milled 150,000 tons of oroat a profit. He is now working the Penobscot with a small crew of men. The profits for September were $4,000. The mine shows many stringers of rich gold ore in places from the 500 up. Mr. Longmaid is upraisiug on these aud 13 well satisfied with the vesuits. The Penob- scot was the famous bonanza mine of the *70s. At one time 300 men were employed and the mine had but a forty-stamp mill. Littie orno timbering was done and in 1880 work ceased. For over ten years the prop- erty remained idle, and in consequence of the caving of ground and_filling up with water 1t was no easy tasic to resums opera- tions when Mr. Longmaid took hold of the proverty. Senrch for Lost Explorers. In May, 1862, T. C. Clark, an engineer, left Vancouver to take & rough topographical survey of the Squamish Valley river, empty- ing into the Gulf of Georgia, forty iles from here. The sources of the river are among rugged mountains, full of glaciers. Clarke was accompunied by A. R. Braydan, a young English aruist. Clarke's expedition was speculative, his object being to find a feasible route f proposed Poace Vi ny & Alaska his own account and sell the knowledge to its promotors. They never returned. InJuly Stanley Smith, an explorer, was sent out by the attorney general of the pro- vince to find them. Theonly trace he got was a cloth cap bel inz to Clarke, found at the upper waters of the Squamish, Doubt- less both perished in the river, Smith went on to Chilco lake, thence to Knight's inlet, 200 miles north. During a groater part of the journey he subsisted on ground hogs, mountain goats, muskrats and fish, His clothes and shoes were torn off by the undergrowth, and he arvived at the coast after terrible suffering, almost naked and famished. Hereports the route impracticable for a railway. The In- diauvs killed three settlers, names unknown, living a few miles from Kuighv's inlet. Old Army Kelic, The government buildings at Fort Craw- ford, a few miles beiow Ouray, Colo., on the Uncorpabgre river, are advertised for sale, and in a few weeks the old buildings will be torn down und what remains of vhe fort will be destroyed. 0id Wort Crawford has a history intensely interesting, as it was in the vicinity of these barracks that the renegade Utes committed heartrending murders and the most atro- cious and blood-curdling aepredations. Within sight of the fort was the home of the renegade chief Colorow, also that of Chief Shaveno. The old home of ChiefOuray, “the white man's friend,” is almost within a stoue’s throw ol the mbling barracks. Adjoining the Fort Crawford reservation on the south are yet to be scen the crum- bling walls of the old adobe buildings of the Uncompahgre or Ute agency. But instead of being the home of the bloodthirsty In- dn and carniverous animals, as it was less than & score of years ago, the country is now changed to peace and quietness and both the Uncompahgre and Fort Crawford ress vations are now well watered farms, produc ing abundant crops of hay, grain and fruit and the tinest horses and cattle to be found in the west., About ton years ago the Uncompahgre agency was abandoned, and immediately James Hotchkiss pre-empted the land and commenced to convert it into one of the finest farms in the Centennial state. ‘When Fort Crawford was abandoned four years ago Jumes Feuton, the old post trader, moved on to the reservation, and when it was thrown open for settlement, two years ago, he took possession under the homestead laws and at oace formally notified the gov- ernment Lo remove 1ts buildings. The gov- ernment has falled 1o act, and now he has taken action to have the buildings appraised and sold. Nebraska and Nebraskuns. The new democratic paper at Harvard has been named the Free Lance.

After careful consideration, and in consequence of the extreme financial depression now existing in the great manufacturing towns of New England and New York, we have decided to accept your offer of “spot cash” for our entire stock of Overcoats, Ulsters, Storm Coats and Boys’ Cape Overcoats and Ulsters, about thirteen thousand garments in all, made the present season, perfect in every respect and at the prices offered by you, giving us hardly a fraction over fifty per cent of their actual cash value when received from our manufacturing rooms. The entire stock is made in our very best manner and especially adapted to your city trade. As this stock will inventory nearly one hundred and sixty thou- sand dollars, the labor involved in delivering the same will necessi- tate a period of about five or six days’ time, which we must ask you to grant us to complete the entire delivery. Yours very truly, Thompson, Willis & Newgent. REFERRING to the above letter of this well known Boston firm, we announce that after a protracted negotiation, we have pur- chased from Messrs. Thompson, Willis & Néwgent, 22 Summer Street, Boston, their entire manufactured stock of fine high-grade tailor-made Overcoats, Ulsters, Storm Coats, Boys’ Cape Overcoats, Ulsters and Reefers; over thirteen thousand garments manufactured in their very best manner for the present season’s trade, and shall offer this entire stock, valued and inventoried at over one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, at retail, in the Continental Clothing House, on and after Saturday, November 4th, at prices not exceed- ing 60 per cent of their cash value early the present season.
