PULSEOFWESTERY PROGRESS Largest Silver Nugget on Record Hoisted Up from the Smuggler Mine, WEIGHS 3,300 POUNDS—WORTH 825,000 Feet of Rich Ore Struck in the Gold at Lake City—Taking Out 830, 000 to 850,000 & Wonth —itig frei- gation Scheme—Western News, A tew days ago the Smuggler Mining com- pany performed a feat that probably has no equal In the history of mining. It was the holsting to the surface Intact a plece of ore welghing 8,300 pounds and containing a silver value of $25,000. This is the most valuable silver nugget known, being almost pure, and of a size heretofore unheard of. The Smuggler has a large amount of this ore In sight, says the Denver Times, but owing to the low condition of the silver market no attempt is being made to increase the output beyond what is taken out in the course of development work. Prepara- tions, however, are in progress for extensive work some day. A new plant of machinery s arriving and within a short time the old hoister will be replaced by a much heavier one. One of the largest pumps in the camp Is being placed in position to handle the heavy flow of water recently encounterel and everything about the property indicates an immense out- put as soon as the market will justify such a move. One of the greatest improvements Is a large battery .of boilers which will be placed down at the railroad tracks, doing away with the necessity of carting the coal up the hill. A largs foundation for the new engine is now in progress. The local management of the Golden Fleecs and the people of Lake City generally are Jubilant over a rich strike just made in that mine. It consists of an efght-foot vein of #olid tellurium and ruby silver encountered in the third level. This is the largest body and richest ore ever struck in the mine or in this camp. G. W. Plerce of the Colorado Ore Sampling Works, who s one of the six Denver men owning the Golden Fleece, was shown the above dispatch. He stated that the strike referred to was made several days ago, al- though it was only yesterday that the body of ore was penctrated and its thickness de- termined. This new body consists entirely of high grade and is worth $3,000 a ton. The total product of the mine during the Dast year has averaged $467 a ton, The mine Is now employing thirty men and no especial effort is being made to take out ore; the work being for development purposes. Yet the monthly shipments run from $30,000 to §50,00 in vaiue. It is under- 8tood that a dividend of $12,000 is paid regularly each month. SCHEME FOR THE UNEMPLOYED. Mr. Dillman, a prominent business man of Bpokane, is in the city maturing a scheme whereby he proposes to make a big stroke toward developing central Washington, and at the same time offer work to all the un- employed labor in the state, says the San Francisco Examiner. The scheme is to dig three big irrigating ditches and pay the employes their board, clothing and other expenses, and the balance of their wages in Interest-bearing bonds se- cured by lands along the ditches. Mr. Dill- man has two assoclates, J. M. Buckley of Spokane and H. H. Smith of this city. They have an option of 90,000 acres of Northern Pacific railroad land in central MWashington, and propose that the Cham- bers of Commerce of Tacoma, Seattle and Bpokane shall each appoint one person, the six making a board of directors to manage the company's affairs. The company, if or- ganized, is to contract for the purchase of these 90,000 acres, and at once sell enough on long instaliments with a small cash pay- ment to lay in sufficient tools and provisions o set the men at work. Mr. Dillman says the land Is to be bought by the company at very reasonable rates. Ho thinks the enterprise is already assured. One ditch will extend from Priest rapids toward Prosser falls, on the west side of the Columbla river, and water 50,000 acres; the second extends from Wallula to Ains- worth, embracing 15000 acres, and the third leaves Snake river near Riparia, at the crossing of the Union Pacific railroad, and traverses the Hurcka flat through 45,000 ncres. STAMPEDE AT GLASGOW. Rich gold flelds forty miles south of Glas- gow, Mont., were discovered about a week ago. The news has started the fover all over the state. Men are arriving horseback enroute to the diggings. The mine is sup- posed to be that discovered by Kies in 1867, who was killed by the Indians on his way 1o the mine from Fort Benton, says a special to the Minneapolis Tribune. He took out $3,000 in two weeks. Kies' prospecting outs fit and his old shack were found on Box creek, John CIlift, living north of town, In his Tush to cross Milk river and get to the dig- gings, jumped his horse into the river with ten others. The horses became jammed and Clft jumped off and was drowned. The others stayed with the horses and came out all right. His body was not recovered. The stampedo was so great that they would not stop to recover the body. One store and four saloons are already on the grounds. At is hard to get railroad men to run trains. fPhey have quit their positions to take claims. The stock outfits are without cowboys, as they have all gone to the diggings. A stéam ferry has been put in the Missouri river at the Peck to carry people and teams. LOWER CALIFORNIA GOLD. Gold placers of considerable richness have been discovered In the interior of Lower California, according to Luis, a Yaqul Indian runner, who arrived at San Quintin a few days ago from the new camp. ¥He said the entire Mexican population of Rosario had gone to the new diggings, where they were taking out from half an ounce to an ounco ©of gold dally per man. The placers are lo- cated elght miles east of a place called The Tules and about 160 miles southeast of San Quintin. There is plenty of water at the camp coming from the Soda springs. Par- ties from San Quintin have gone to the new Qdiggings. GREEN RIVER GOLD FIELD. Prof. F. J. Stanton recently returned from a hurried inspection of the Green river placer fields. To a reporter for the Cheyenne Sun he sald: There s gold there and any quantity of it, and it is my opinion that coarse gold will be found when the bed-rock is reached. Some Chinamen have beem at work above the clty of Green River and have reached bed-rock at a depth of fifteen feet. What they found there they refuse to tell. My experienco teaches me, however, that the gold will be found to be coarser as the bed . 1s reached, “It fs my Intention to return there soon, but I can say that the Green River flelds re not poor men's. Although a man can get hundreds of colors at each panful of dirt and sand, still he will find dificulty In sav- ing the gold because of its fineness. On this acccunt it will ba necessary to secure w ery, which will save the fine gold, hecause the loss of that will make the sand non-pr:fucing In paying quantities. It Is my firm conviction that there will be good flelds located south of the clty of Green River as well as north. All those who are golng there now and taking up land are T am safe in saying &:ing above the city. That the prospects as the présent indications show, are most promising for cne of the greatost placer discoveries at Green River that the world has ever scen. But money will be needed to make them productive of the best results." RICH QUARTZ SAMPLES. Speclmens of gold bearing sand and quartz are becoming very numerous in Park City, Utab, these days, says the Record, and there 1s consequently much talk of rich old finds made and to be made. Martin oGraht had somo of the richest and best Jooking gold bearing sand in his possession Fecently that the writer has seen for many @ays, being literally alive with scales or Rake gold. It came from a bar in one of the streams. in Wyoming, and it is Mr. Mc- Grath's fntention to make a trip there this season and prospect the ground thoroughly. Ho is satisfied that some rich diggings are to be found In that state. Again, C. E. Btrest was exhibiting some Idaho quartz luut was plastered ovor with the precious metal in such quantities as to almost make one’s mouth water. The ore came from a Tedgge in Idaho that remalns yet hidden from the hand of man, it having been discovered by an old prospector, who died in the hospi- tal at Salt Lake. He was sick unto death when he found the iedge, and never recov- ered suffcientiy to work it, and when he died he was unconscious and unable to tell its location. _ Besides these there are speci- mens from Mercur, the Henry mountains, Indian creek and other points, that are freely shown. As a result many Parkites are becoming entbused, and the chances are that several prospecting parties will soon leave to look for the yellow metal. WANTON SHEEP SLAUGHTER. A report was recelved from De Beque, Colo., stating that 800 sheep owned by Mr. Reed, a local sheepman, were Kkilled the other night by persons connected with the Utah sheep men. Reed was driving his animals to pasture in the reserve, it is said, when the slaughter occurred. Inspector Mason has organized a special party to go to the scene. Trouble Is expected. A flock of 350 Utah sheep are camped two miles west of the city, and 10,000 head are reported on the traill near Grand Junction. Dr. Gresswell, who is here, will turn back the flocks. HAGGARD'S DEVILS OUTDONE. The attention of the department of In- dlan affairs has been called to the bar- barous practices of the Indians along the west coast of northern British Columbla, who, it appears, are still indulging in can- nibalism, supposed to have been given up long since, says the Denver Times. H. J. Simpson, a trader who has spent twenty-five years in the vicinity of Fort Ruperts, states that the Indians carry on their dances with all their old-time ferocity, the only difference being that now they are careful to have their wildest orgies only in the depth of winter, when the inclemency of the season has practically put a stop to trading and hunting and has driven all white men, including missionaries, to move to comfortable quarters. So soon as they have the field to themselves preparations are started for the most disgusting orgies. Simpson, who having married a tull-blooded “Klootchman,” is what Is known as a “squaw man,” has been speclally favored or trusted by being permitted to witness some of these rites, and gives a terrible descrip- tion of what is known to these Indians as a “man eater dance,’ which he witnessed a few months ago. 1In this dance.the man- ista, or chief character, horrifies the spec- tators by appearing with a back-number native taken from an eminence upon which it was exposed to dry after death and tear- ing the shriveled flesh from the bones as he dances about the huge log fire, all the time_uttering the most frightful sounds in the Indfan vocabulary of lamentations. Simpson also lately saw the horrible tor- ture of a maiden in connection with another dance, in which, to prove herself worthy to be the bride of a brave chieftain, she al- lowed great barbed hooks to be driven through the flesh of her back and danced almost naked while the chief held the reins attached to the hooks and by a series of wrenches eventually tore the flesh apart and released them. Missionaries have taken great credit throughout the civilized world for having converted theso savages and the government has been led to be- lleve that the dances now carried on are only imitations of former barbarity, but Simpson, who is a _reliable man, asserts that they are no mockery at all, but a most revolting and cruel reality. LAND FOR SETTLERS. The amended Ute reservation bill, which will throw open to settlement 700,000 acres of good grazing and agricultural land in Colorado and about 3,000,000 acres in Utah, will be signed by President Cleveland within the next thirty days and will immediately become a law. Hon. Adair Wilson, who ar- rived here from Washington, says the Den- ver Times, is the bearer of this pleasing and important news. Mr. Wilson spent three months in the capital and with the ald of the Colorado delegation succeeded in effecting a compromise of the measure. Mr. Wilson is stopping at the Brown hotel. He sald today that there will be no delay in opening the lands to settlement after the president’s signature is obtained, because negotlations with the Indians will not be necessary. The measure is based on the treaty of 1887, which the Utes sanctioned, but which was never sanctioned by con- gress. The Dbill provides for the removal of the Utes to the western portion of the reservation and besides they will be given a liberal slice of New Mexico. Two large irrigation canals have alrcady been constructed and are now in active operation to within a short distance of the line of this proposed reservation and can easily be extended on to the lands of the Indians at small expense. The Dbill further provides that the remaining lands of tho reservation shall be sold under existing laws, and the proceeds held in trust for the Indians, except certain annuities and the sum of $20,000 to be invested in sheep for them as was provided In the agreement of 1888, The Utah land which will be opened lies just north of the beautiful fruit country about Farmington, and Farmington and Durango will be benefited. Mr. Wilson said that the land was not a mineral country except along the streams, but was particu- larly adapted to grazing and fruit. A colony of 100,000 people can be accommo- dated on the lands. RESORTS OF COLORADO. Recent reports on the diversified topog- raphy ot Colorado show this state to pos- sess provision by nature for health and pleasure resorts sufficient in number and varlety to accommodate the civilized world in Its multitudinous wants and fancies. Scores of mineral springs of the highest medicinal value, with good and ample ac- commodations, exist in all parts of the mountainous reglons. While the field is one most inviting to the health secker and tourist, happily these resorts are environed by streams, lakes and forests in which fish and game aboand for the sportsman. Nowhere is there a place of resort or a point of vantage to the tourist that s not conveniently reached by a line of rallway trom Denver, Colorado Springs or Pueblo, and a trip to any of them is filled with the most, fascinating surprises of mountain gran- deur and beauty. Colorado Springs possesses an all-year- round climate unsurpassed upon the globe, Elegant hotels accommodate the ‘throng of tourists and invalid travel which flows into it at all seasons of the year, while its broad shaded avenues are lined with tasteful cot- tages and the homes of wealth and luxury. Manitou, the “Saratoga of the west” ‘a fashionable resort famous for the variety of its springs, the deliciousness of their waters and its superb hotel appointments, nestles at the very foot of Pike's Peak, the ‘“‘gem of the Rockies.” Its many caves and. canons, its sparkling waterfalls, charming nooks ~ and delightful walks and drives, makes Manitou one of the most desirable places to spend the summer season, as thou- sands of yearly visitors testify. Glenwood Springs is located in the beauti- ful valley of the Grand river in the midst of mountaln grandeurs, and s one of the greatest sanitariums in tne world. With its thermal springs, highly efficacious in the treatment of rheumatism and chronic dis- cases, the magnificent hotel, *‘Colorado,” its mammoth swimming pools, its rich and ex- tonsive bath houses, its gorgeous surround- ings, its fine fAishing streams and its tim- bered hills abounding in game, render it one of the most charming spots in all the mountains at any season of the year. Wagon Wheel Gap, on the Rio Grande river, is a gem of the great San Luis park; it is a favorite resort of the fisherman, its streams teem with trout and its surround- ing hills abound in game; its healing waters are so well known as not to require any elaborate mention. Poncha Springs, on the slope of the Con- tinental Divide, was from time unknown the healing fountain of the Indian. Here there are ninety-nine hot springs flowing from a fleld of tufa, chemically the same as that at Hot Springs, Ark. Cottonwood Hot Springs, near Vista, under the shadow of the Colleglate mountain range, possesses great curative properties for skin and blood diseases and is situated within a convenient and pleasant drive from Cottonwood lakes, which abound in_mountain trout. Pagosa Hot Springs were also discovered by the Indian to be “Big Medicine,” because of thelr wonderful cures of calculus, skin diseases and rheumatism. Trimble Hot Springs Is one of the great attractions of the famous “Silver San Juan,” and a most delightful health resort. The celebrated hot springs of Ojo Caliente are situated eleven miles from Barranca, on the Espinola branch of the Denver & Rio Grande rallway, with stage line connection. Buena The waters cure paralysis, rheumatism and ] kindred diseases. The fame of the Ouray hot springs takes precedence to that of the rich mining camp surrounding the city. From the first da of settlement these waters have been highly | efficacious in the cure of rheumatism, cuta- neous and blood complaints. Cebolla Springs, in Gunnison county, have been known from' the earliest days of settle- ment for the wonderful healing qualities in many diseases. -The hot springs are espe- cially efficacious in rheumatism, whils the soda and fron springs are beneficial in stom- ach and kidney troubles. At Canon City there are several cold min- eral springs, one of them resembling the celebrated waters of Viehy, and it Is bottled and shipped extensively. The Waunita hot springs, fn Gunnison county, is a resort of considerable local re- pute, for the curative propertics of the waters, As a sanitarfum, great things may be spoken of Steamboat Springs, In Routt county. Nearly 100 mineral springs of dif- ferent kinds, ranging from cold to 150 de- grees temperature, iminediately surround the town, which has all the aceommodations of a health resort. Two springs represent the highest type of Vichy water. These waters cure many human ill§ and the hot sulphur pool, a natural bath, is extremely efficacious in the treatment of rheumatism. All these places are amply provided with bath houses and other requisite accommoda- tions for visitors, while the surrounding country affords many advantages of sport and pieasant recreation. TIdaho Springs, situated at the western head of Clear Creek canon, thirty-seven miles.from Denver, is a delightful town, be- cause of its beautiful surroundings and its healing thermal waters. From this point the picturesque mountain roads lead the way to the great parks, the lakes, the rivers and forests of northern Colorado. NEBRASKA.

Little Chester Crangle of Holmesville was knocked down and badly bruised by an en- raged cow the other day. Fortunately the anfmal was hornless and assistance arrived in time to prevent any bones from being broken. Hazel Cook, the 3-year-old daughter of James Cook, living near Jullan, ~strayed away from lome with her sister in pursuit of flowers and laid her down to sleep on the Missouri Pacific tracks. A passing train crushed her foot, which has had to be am- putated, and the child is now doing nicely. A burglar entered the residence of 0. A. Brown at Plattsmouth, ransacked the whole house, and took away with him a diamond pin and a new coat belonging to Mr. Brown. In return for this the considerate robber left an old coat of his own, and the police think that this will give them a clew to work on. Strawberry boxes with false bottoms have become so much of a nuisance that the Superior Sun comes out with the announce- ment that any Nebraskan who will kindly invent a box that has the bottom placed where it should be or have a law enacted that will compel fruit venders to put the berries in the bottom Instead of in the top will be remembered in history as a true triend of humanity. Beginning Tuesday, May 15, the Nebraska State’ Eclectic Medical association will hold a three days' session at the Hotel Lincoln in the capital city. 1In the various depart- ments of materia’ medica, gynaecology, sur- gery and pathology, mental and nervous dis- eases, othalmology and otology, obstetrics, etc., papers will be read by the delegates from various parts of the state. The Omaha eclectics who will be present at the conven- tlon are Drs. Ira Van Camp, Hamilton War- ren, N. J. Carricker, G. L. Nickols and J. M. Keys. THE DAKOTAS.

The state encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, Woman’s Relief corps and Sons of Veterans of South Dakota is to be held at De Smet, June 5, 6 and 7. The school authorities at Devil's Lake, N. D., were confronted with a formidable strike on the part of the scholars, who in- sisted on a whole holiday for Arbor day celebration. Contracts have been completed and work begun on the axle grease factory and electric light plant at Custer. They will cost $30,000 and employ about twenty-five men, They will be in operation in July. The soldlers’ and sailors’ reunfon to be held at Yankton in June is to be one of the largest gatherings of the kind ever held in the state. It Is to occupy three days, and 5,000 to 8,000 visitors are ex- pected. About ten days ago the government snag boat, Josephine, passed Chamberlain bound up. The steamer Mandan, also a govern- ment boat, arrived down river. The Man- dan put in the time removing snags from the main channel of the Missouri. The boats will be engaged this season in clean- ing out the river. As a supposed result of the late strike the telegraph operator at Rugby Junction has been summarily dismissed and is unable to ascertain any reason for his dismissal. He has made many friends, who are indignant at his being let out, he being the most ac- commodating and gentlemanly operator here. The American Railway union Is going to look into the case. The commissioner of school lands, aided by deputies, tions of indemnily lands to replace those included in the list rejected by the depart- ment last fall. Deputy Bowman left Huron for the western part of this district, where he expects to select from 15,000 to 20,000 acres. There are nearly 100,000 acres to solect from, but he finds dificulty in obtain- ing cholce tracts. The engincers who will survey the route for the Illinols Central railroad from Le Mars to Yankton, and thence to Norfolk, were to begin their work on the 10th inst.’ The construction company will com- mence grading as soon as the engineers get the line in shape for them. One of the officers of the construction company said that the entire road, 130 miles in length, would be completed this season, and that arrangements have been made to work 1,000 men and teams on the grade. While sinking a shaft on the Gold Brick lode, near Hill City, the owners uncovered some remarkably rich free gold ore. The samples were covered with gold, both in the quartz and the decomposed portions, The occurrence of gold in the quartz is a certain Indication of permanency that is pleasing to the lucky owners. The shaft is now about sixteen feet deep and shows a well defincd ledge two feet wide, which has steadily in- creased from the surface.

It cost the city of Laramie something over $100 to see that all citizens were vac- cinated during the late scare there. ; Seventy-five miners_at”the Quealy mine at Rock {@prhu:s went owt-on a strike. The trouble was brought about by the weighing of coal. A band of 200 elk were seen on the moun- tains above Hyattville recently. —This Is the largest band of eli that has been seen for a number of years. Tho Unlon Pacific Coal company will store 4,000 tons of its Rock Springs product at Laramie and Cheyenne this month in antici- pation of an eastern demand for bituminous coal. While digging a hole in his garden Charley Hegewald of Laramie discovered a lot of black sand which contained a number of small rubies similar to those found in gold flelds. The sand was panned and showed a number of colors. Three more samples of ore taken from the Burke-Naismith prospect have just been as- sayed by Prof. Knight. The first runs §22.40 In gold, 331 ounces in silver and 36 per cent lead; the second, $18.90 in gold, 271 ounces in silver and 18 per cent lead, and the third, $24.60 in gold, 121 ounces in silver and 34 per cent in lead.

Ohfo City, once & camp of 1,000 people, but having now only twenty-six, reports some good ore discoveries and a new boom is promised. A lack of teams caused the Independence mine at Cripple Creek to shut down. There are nearly 400 tons of ore ready to be taken to the smelters. The Humboldt river is said to be booming and the lake has risen seven inches in the past two wecks. It Is feared that every dam on the river will be carried away by the freshet. The output of the Rock Springs mines for April was above the average and the usual number of miners are working four days each week, although this is consid- ered a dull season. The Montezuma vallay in the southwestern part of the state is coplug rapidly to the front as an agricultural section.
