THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1803 GREAT SILVER MINING CANP Kalso-Slocan District Oonsidered the Richnst in the World. NEW RAILROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION Sharp Chinamen Loase a River Bottom for #1560 and Now Clear 81,500 n Day— Mining in Tdaho—North- . western Notes. “‘Although Kaslo is now considered the greatest silver mining camp in the world, it never will be as great as was the Com- stock district,” says & prominent mining man of that section in an enterview afpear- ing in the Portland Oregonian, “for it must be rememberod that silver was twice as valuable then as now, and that one mine alone paid &%,000,000 in dividends. Still we have now cight mines th ro shipping ore as fast as it can be taken out, despite the fact that almost impassable roads make freighting very expensive; and from 600 to 800 very promising vrospects, which cannot be developed. owing to the scarcity of capi- tal. Not ono of the mines from which ship- ments have been made has averaged less than 100 ounces per ton, with 60 per cent lead, and some of the assays run into thou- sanas of counces. “Work on the new railroad, which P dent Hill of the Great Northeru is to buiid from Kaslo City to the head of Bear lake,was commenced last Monday. 1t will bo pushed as rapidly as possible during the winter, and will be completed early in June next This rond will be twenty miles in length, and will follow closely the wagon road which was built a year ago, at an expeuse of £30.000 10 tap the big mines, The greatest mine in the district present time is the Slocan Star. is thoroug ery, is wor at_the s mine y equipped with good machin- ine a large force of men and malng large shipments daily. The claim is made that there is at Jeast $1,000,000 worth of ore in sight at the present time. The second best mine in the district is probably the Dardanclles, ownea by J. L. Davenport and others. 1t is now working a cang of fifty men and making reguiar shipments of high-grade ore, averaging from 200 to 800 ounces of silver and 60 per cent lend Wonderfully Rich Ore. ore belt discovered_about three months ago on the shores of Bear lake, is now receiving a great deal of attention, and it 18, in my opinion, the greatest find yet made in the district. The ledges are much narrower than those of the lead ores, but the ore itself is much richer. The Miner Boy, in which I purchased a one-fourth interest at the time of its discovery for 2,500, is at the present time one of the most promising mines in the belt, and I huve recently been 3 n on this claim has been traced clearly for o dis- tance of 1.500 feet, and is from fifteen inches to five feet in width, showing exceptionally high grade ore. 0 6,850 ounces ver ton. A shipment sent to San Francisco about three weeks ago, taken from the ledge without selection, showed an average assay at the sampling works of 395 “The dr, us to shin ore at the present Well, I guess it does, de- spite the fact that freighting is very high. When the new railroad is completed it will run withio three miles of the Miner Boy. At present it costs §25 per ton_to haul ore that three miles; $1 per ton from that point to Kaslo City—twenty mil $i1.50 per ton from there 1o San Francisco. Then the cost of mining is $15 per ton, and the smelter charges arc £20. In the face of ;these diffi- culties we still manage to make protty good profi “Kaslo City has recovered from its real estate boom, and is now a nice little town of 800 inhabitants. It is the American class of mining men who have opened up the Kaslo- Slocan district, and that fact rather ‘riled’ the Caunadian authorities at first, but the hatcaet has now been buried. The Cana- Qians join with the Americans in celebrating the Fourth of July, and the latter always are ready for a good time on the queen's birthday No Fiies an the Heathen Chiuee. D. W. Burnett is the owner of u piece of land on the American river, near Salmon Falis, El Dorado county, Cal. The river bed there for 100 or 200 yards had never been mined. Some Chinese made him an offer Lo lease this land for mining purposes for two years, offering .0 pay him $100 for the use thereof, suvs the Folsom Telegraph. This was declined. The Chinese were persistent, though and, after bartering for a while, Mr. Burnett told them they could have the land for the tiwe stated for $150, oune-half to be paid n advance and the balauce at the end of the year. . The offer was accepted, and Mr. Burnett was congratulating himself on his bargain and considered the $75 to have come into his possession easily. He was not long in changing his mind. As soon as the lease was signed the Chinese began to work. A force of eighteen or twenty men were employed by them. A wing dam was built and a’ wheel and other apparatus put up there, the cost of which Was not over $400 or 500, Several days after it was rumored that the mine was producimg §1,500a day. An in- vestigation disclosed tn act that the heathens had sent away §8,50) worth of dust within a week after they begau work, Several thousand dollars wortli of dust was also disposed of in Chinatown and handed overto one of the Chinese merchants there. Bolse Basin Booty. There has been more good gold ore workea on this side of the Basin this fall than ever before in the history of the country feom a greater number of mines, and what is better not & ton has been worked that did not pay haudsomely for the work done to get it, says the Idaho Statesman. Ore has been mined from whe Flint & Walton mine on Summit flat, from the King in the same vicinity, from the Mammoth, near by, and from Illinois, Chickahominy and float from the Gambriunus district, and all paid to exceed $50 per ton in free gold. Several tons from the Buffalo end several from the South Africa paid above the expectalions or the owners. The South Africa is situated less than a mile above town and was uncovered lust year by Chinese while working a plac claim. The sizo of the ledge s not known, although o shaft has been put down twenuty-six feet on it.

Wild Man's Fresks, Ben Buckley, “the Sonoma county wild mun,” is still ruling over his domain in Blucher valley. Constable Chris Bernhardy and Deputy Sheriff William Dougherty went out to arrest him. Before looking up Buck- ley, Bernhurdt and Dougherty talked with a number of the farmevs living near his miser- ablo abodo They laughed at theidea that the “wild man" was dungerous. and said that he was as inoffousivs as a chila, .

After he was_ajected from the bank he sawa new brick building in course of construction “Ah! this is & government building and I will see about it,” he said. Then he ook & position where he could oversee the work and for over an hour he ordered the me- chanics about, for he said as president of the United States he had & perfect right to do so. He showed a disposition to remain in Sebastopol, and it was only by a clever ruse of Dr. Benefo that he was started off to his home. The doctor told him that his posses sions in Blucher valley were in danger of being gobbled up by a foreign power if he remained longer in Sebastopol. Buckley at once hurried out of the town, being followed 1o the outskirts of the place by a crowd of children, who regarded him with wonder mixed with fear. Buckiey uses good language and must have received the benefits of & good education. Dispute with him in regard to his presidency and he becomes angry ; humor him in his vagary and he throws out his chest, stands crect and ap: pears full to the neck of ma A oaumber of county offi inter- viewed Buckley in his lair, and most of them agree that it is & disgrace for the county to leave him in his hole in the ground. He has torn most of the brush away from the pen and there is nothing between him and the stars.

Commissioner Schnitger says he has ar. ranged to purchase 100,000 brook trout e from the New York state hatchery and they ivered at Laramie about the 15th of this month. He tried to get 200,000 eggs from the United States hatchery, but they wrote to him that it was the practice now to d the fry instead of the eggs. Mr Scinitger says they have breeders enough av the hatchery to take 1,000,000 egas, but that they huve capacity for 1,500,000 They will not finish taking eggs until next June.

After it had en to the surface and floated down stream it wass een to have a rock imbedded in one end, and upon examination was found to be quartz, rich in gold. The only explanation is that the log, in the maa plunge into the pool under vhe falls, came in coutact with some ledge of goid with force enough to imbed the piece found in the firm wood. - Strike in El Paso. In the main the wonderful strike Catherine, reported Saturday, 1s true as the story was first given out, says the Colorado Springs Telegraph. It is by all odds the biggest and richest discovery of treasure that has yet been made in El Paso county. During the past forty-eight hours there has been a wild rush to Raven hill. Properties in the newghborhood of the Catherine have increased several hundred ver cent in value. This marvelous find is proving an incentive for renewed activity in development, not only of that locality, but ia other portions of the camp as well. ‘Word from the mine has it that a force of armed men 1s guarding the workings. Visi- tors continue to arrive. All who have seen the bonanzu treasure agree that the account sent out Saturday, while somewhat enthusi- astic, is practically zorrect. Highwayman Lunatic. The lone highwayman who attempted to “*hold up” two constables not long ago was captured last week. He proves to be an in- sane man. The weapon he used was the mouthpiece and tube of a cornet. The man has been identified by the constables and others, and himself admits that he heard the shots fired by the constables, though he denies being the man at whow the bullets were directed.

At the First Presbyterian church last night there was a special service in the in- terests of young men. Secretary Ober told the congre what the Young Men's Christian association was doing for the young men of Owaha Rev. T. M. Patterson made a brief address on the power of young men He said, in part: “Youth has always and everywhere been the moulder of civilization. Goethe declared that the destiny of any na- tion at any given time depends upon the opinions of the young men under 25 years of age “The elder shall serve the younger was the prodiction of the farseeing patriarch ¢ potent element of civilization God has made young men the leading factor. In literature Jonn Miiton, the man who saw more without eyes than any other man saw with eyes, wrote his wonderful hymn on the ‘Morning of Christ's Nativity’ when but 21 Pope wrote nis essay on ‘Criticism’ which laced nim in the frout rank of poets when 4. Shakespeare began his unmatched literary career in his twenties. Burns, the immortal poet of Scotland, died while the dew of youth was on his brow. “Horace Greeley was but 80 founded the York Tribune. Angelo produced some of his mest marvelous works of art in his youth ¢ Newton made a sun dial when he was 12. Humboldt, at the uge of 20, published a volume on the ‘Formations on the Rhin ‘Washington was the rising hope of the colonists at Alfred the Great succeeded to the crown when but 2. William, Prince of Orange, sat among the fathers, wise and discreet as auy of them, when 18, Alexander won his first battle at 18, “Calvin wrote his Institutes’ at the ageof 26. Luther won Germany when but Paschal wrote his immortal provincial letters at the age of 23. Joseph, the youngest son of his father, was made prime minister of Egypt. The child Samuel was chosen to be a prophet in Israel. It was the young man John the Baptist that was the Lord’s fore- runner. Jesus, the world's redeemer, had finished his work when but 88. Do you not see the strategic point-the young men have held in the world’s history? “He has not been a private, but captain; not a pupil, but a teacher; not clay, but pot- ter; not private citizen, but ruler. And the young man of today 18 in no less demand than iu past years. This is the young man’s era. He is wanted everywhere. The ‘dead line" 18 créeping into other pro- fessions aside from the inistry, even into business. Heis wanted by business, society, politics, vrofcssions, and also by saloous and gambling dens, who want him, not to turn the crank, but to furnish the grist. 1do not sympathize with those who would give young men undue prominence—those who would take the crown of glory from the hoary head:; those who place young men above the old in matters requiring the most mature judgment. +0Old men for counsel—young men for war.” Ageshould guide the world by its wisdom, but young,men should do the work. The old and young should always be asso- ciated, that theé sound judgment of the old may be made efficient by the energy.of the young. But it is true every greatcause has triumphed by consecrated youth. Emerson said to the young men, ‘Hitcn your wagon to astar.! “We might paraphrase it, and say to the reformer of today ‘hitch your cause to & young man.’ “We need this power arising from the faith and enérgy and hope of youth conse- crated to the cause of the state and city and church. In this new west we need good young men to mould our civilization. We need them to save our cities. We need them to lead the church o the exercise of her rightful power. And I have confidence that they will. “Men often give discouraging statistios concerning the drift of the young men. They tell us the saloons and penitentiaries get more than the churches. ““But let us look at the facts that inspire hope in our hearts when we pray and nerve our arms when, we fight. Never were thore s0 many in the' Y. M. C. A, and as for the Y. P.S. C. E,, it bas had the largest Chris- tian conventions in the world’s history. “‘Never were there so many young men in the churches. 1 know there are enough dis- couraging facts, but here’s my hand and heart for the hopeful man. Give such men the floor. And don’t forget that majorities have always been with sin—but one shall put thoustnds to flight. “Men are to be weighed as well as counted and when weighed the majority are for Christ.” Mr. Patterson went on to show why the Young Men's Christian sssociation was adapied 10 the work of guiding the power of youth, He said he believed in the Young Meu's Christian association because it hounored the church, because it was orthoaox, and becausa it became all things to all men that it might by all means win some. e ——— Mr. Taber's Organ Recital.

The Para tornadoes or tornado destroyer is the name of . machine contrivance which may well take rank as one ambitious inventions of the age, saysa Paris letter. The power of this new weapon against a terrific enemy has not been tested yet. First, because it is scarce a month since the brain of Turpin, its inventor, de signed it second wuse there have been no tornadoes available hereabouts to de- stroy. he oldest theory of the tornado, you know, " he said, “is that the funnel-shaped cone is formed by, the sucking up of a cur rent of air. Faye, whois one of our best uropean authorities, holds just the opposite theory. Lieutenant Findlay of the United States bureau confirms Faye, or at least he declares that nearly all tornadoes are formed in the upper layers of the atmos- phere. 1 have been studying the subject closely since 1864, except when compelled to | abandon my investigations owing to my financial troubles. 1 shall discuss all car- | rent theories regarding these terrific phe- nomena in my forthcoming book, review as corefully ns Dossible the record of destruc tion of life and property by tornadoes, and shall try to offer something practicable in the way of safeguard against the evil His Task Is Great, It is no small thing of course to struggle with the atmosphere. Except the earth- quuke, the tornado is the most formidable vhenomenon of nature Nevertheless, 1 have an idea, which 1*believe will, if put in practice on a large scale in the United States, ld almost complete protection against its dange * “The records of the bureau sh United States weather w us that tornadoos in America always travel from the southwest to the northeast. This being plished it is com- paratively easy to face the enemy, because you know from just what direction e will | come. The dangerous extent is only an eighth of & point of the compass; that is, if you protect a town on its southwest boundary for one-eighth of its circumfer it will be tornado proof. 1t is a well known fact thut a waterspout at sea collapses instantly if a heavy gun 1s fired. This is so well understood that nearly all ships in tropical latitudes carry a cannon for this purpose. A tornado on land, which is a_phenomenon of the same nature, can be dissipated in the same w. My plan in a nutsholl, then, is to establish aerial torpedoes, fixed on high, light towers like the electric towers used in some Amer- ican cities and so placed that the explosion can quickly take place by the automatic action o1 the tornado itself. The apparatus which I have designed and patented a few duys ago is so consiructed that a wind of tornado intensity will by simply mechanical menns discharge the powerful explosive with which the magazine is loaded. Wil Work for a Certainty. ] should use about 200 pounds of the most powerful explosive in each tower or pylone The explosion would develop an immense amount of gas under enormous pressure, quite capable of destroying any tornado in its vicinity. At the sume time, the ex- plosion taking place 120 feet or so higher in the air, would do no damage to build- ings or other property lower down. "I'he number of these towers or vara tor- | nadoes necessary would depend upon the | area and ymportance of the town or build- ings to be protocted. To furnish absolute protection it would be necessary to place them from fifty to 100 yards apart, the | minimum width of the path of a tornado | within.the dangerous octunt. ‘ake, for instance, & town three miles in dismeter. The dangerous octant would be about a mile along its southwest border. 1 would piace sixty para tornadoes in four rows along that section of the circumfer- ence. That would represent an expense of about 30,000, less probably than the cost of lightning rods for the same town. The principal portion of the expense would be in the crection of the towers, which _might be of either wood or iron. Five hundred dollars for each para tornado would surely cover all expense. There would, of course, be no expense of maintenance 'except for an_occasional cOAL of paint. A tornado once dissipated by ex- plosion or otherwise will not reform within several miles, so that there is no necessity for the erection of safer guards within a city. Such is my system. When we con- sider that hundreds of Jives and millions in property are swept away in America, it really seems worth while to spend a few thousands In fighting tornadoes.” B ACCUOUNTED FOR. Mr. Quthwalte of Omo the Big Republi njority, CoLumsus, O., Nov, Mr. Outhwaite, member of congress from this distr asked what results the election will have upon tariff legislation said: “They will, no doubt, have some influence upon the members when they come to con- sider the details of the bill but the tarift will be revised in the direction mapped out by the democratic party. Of course the conditions of the business of the country will be carefully cousidered by congress while framing such legislation. Many of the material increases of the McKinley bill will be reduced. Some of them will be wiped out_entirely. Wool end somc of the raw materials will be placed on the free list. We must frame a bill to provide ample reve- nues, bearing as lightly as possible upon the taxpayers.” Mr. Outhwaite says it would ba giving the big republican majorities a wrong significance 10 say that the people who voted for a reduc- tion 0f the tariff last fall have changed Lueir minds. He attributes the result in this state 10 the dissatisfaction of soldiers, who have pensions claims, disgust over thoe adminis- tration’s failure 1o promptly chunge federal ofticers and the delay of the senate to act on purchasing clause. es Reusons tor IS THE BEST, .

That really happened to a certain grocer's clerk, because he couldn’t induce customers to take an inferior brand of washing powder in place of Pearline. The grocer said, “If you can't sell what I want you to sell, I don't want you."” Now it doesn’t take a very wise woman to decide whether this was an honest grocer. And a woman wise enough for that, would be likely to insist upon having nothing but Pearline. There is nothing “as good as’’ or “the same as " Pearline, the origi- nal—in fact, the only—washing-compound.
