They work down as for as the frost is out the t veur and the wi for he “never setting sun” of the next summer tothuw It deeper.

Timber ad fifty will draw ribou one for stufl as you may require. Some spend the winter trapping furs, but they must be on hand by the 15th of June or their claims will be jumpable according to the Yukon code of laws There is one thing T almost forgot to men- tion. It is the moss, which covers all the ground, except what the water runs over, such us the shallow bars uloug the creek. This moss 1s from six to eighteen inches thick and must be removed in order that the ground may thaw out. The boys generally muke & winter's job of siripping off this moss. New Gold Regions. The new gold belt on McClellan mountain continues to improve with develobment, s snown by the World's Fair lode, which is sbout the only one doing much at present, s the parties who are working it have 2ond cabin 8t the mine and are able to work every day. Prospectors who nre doing assessment work on other clanims have to wait for pleasant days, says the Denver Times, und there have been but few of them up there st an aftitude of over 12.000 feet this winter. At the World’s Fair lode the Dewitt brothers have their lower drift in about 200 feor, and ure in a streak of spar quartz from one to three inches wide, whic is literaly filled with massive free gold. They have been taking out good money for some time, but they expect to strike it better in the next fifty feet, as they will then be under a mice pocket of ore they opened on the surface last fall. The formation of the country seems to be made up of granite and black trachyte, with large porphyry dvkes culmnfi through it from northeast to southwest. The lode also running northeast 10 southwest has o gran- ite wall on one side und trachyte on the other, the crevice matter being a mixture of white spar and coarsely crystallized granite The exact extent of the gold belt has not yet been fully determined, but enough pros- pecting has been done to show that it is at Jeast & mile in width, but where it begins or ends is &5 yet an unsolved problom. The work which will be done there the coming ummer will probubly definitely determine its length, I'be whole surface of the known gold belt is covered with boulders and peb- bles of white spar, and outside of the range of this no gold has yet been found. The wonderful strike recently reported from Tom Gleason’s lease on the Indopend- ence mine runming ounces gold and about 8,000 ounces silver per ton, seems to have been somewhat of & myth, as Glesson sa)s thut he knew nothing about it until he read the published report. Prune Eaising in ldaho. Mr. Hunter last week forwarded Senator Shoup bis report on Idaho's prune industry, In his letter Mr. Hunter expluins he bas boeen unable 1o seoure as complete o compila- tion as he would like, owing 1o the short time in which to look up the matter und the fuilure of many fruit growers to respond to his queries. Mr. Huunter's figures are as follows Number of pounds cured in 1892 Nuwber of pounds cured in 1593 Number of pounds groen, ruissd wnd shipped in 1892 Number of povuds green, &nd shipped in 1898 Approximute value of crop, 1892778 20,000 Approximate value of crop 15938 48,000 Awmount of money investo § 800,000 Presout velue in werouge 84,000,000 Number of people iu the business. 8500 Continuing, Mr. Huuter says these figures cover only the product of ihe valleys of Boise, Puyetio and Weiser, he beiug unable to hear from the north in time to senaa more complete statement. Taking into con- siderstion the orchards that will bear this year for the first time, he estimates the 1564 pruve crop will be three times as large ns the crop for the yvear just closed. The pro- tection afforded by the McKinley law las puilt up the prune industry of the state, and with such protection continued the prune growers assert it will shortly become one of the leading industries. The passaze of the ‘Wilson bill would destroy the industry. and Just ui & time, 100, when the ldaho pruue is ettiug o firm foothold in the eastern mar- ket. 100,000 800,000 ruisod 700,000 Vein of Magnesite. A very important mineral find bas lately been made 4l two places in this county. One st Pringle station, twelve miles south of this pluce, the otber seven miles souchwest, says the Sioux Falls Argus-Leader. Itis the mineral maguesite. At Pringle fully tnree fool of the ore is exposed in & vertical ledge of gold and copper-bearing quartz The vein is known 10 be thirty feet in width, snd s vet neither wall is exnosed. The other ind is also 1n a gold-beariug ledge, but is not yet aeveloped enough to determine the amount of magnesite. Heretofore this mineral has ouly been found iz Americs in pering quabtities in Caiiforoin. Maenosite s used o the manufacture of nitro-glvoer- ine explosives and is employed us a bleach ing agent in the munufacture of paper from wood pulp, for whioh purpose it is found to be both cheaper sud more effective ihan chlorine, used in the manufacture of steel S Lhe busic prooess.

Should the re- sult prove satisfactory, the Omaha company will erect a similar plant in the vicinity of their property. Gloomy Ommp. Affairs around the Almy coal mining camp, says au Evansion correspondent, vresent a gloomy appesrance. There is no prospect of No. 7 being reopenad very soon, and now No. 6, belonging to the Central Pacific, has been closed indefinitely, leaving Almy without a mine in operation. A great many of the miners have left, some going to Rock Springs, others to Hauna and other plsces, and those who are left in Almy are in very destilute circumstances. A charity bull wus given ot Evanston recently for their venefiv which neited over $200. A committee of five gentlemen has been selected 10 see that the money Is properly used. The mine disaster is belng felt in every branch of wrade to a more or less exten’. Chapman Bros.’ meat market at Almy has been closed und the furnitare moved to Evanston. A large num- ter of the employes in the various stores in the camp have been notitiea that they will not be needed much longer. The Almy coal train, heretofore making two round trips each day between this place and the mines, tas-been pulled off until further orders. New Arizous Kaiiroad.
