The annual gold product of the Hills {8 conservatively stated at $6,000,000, and it fs constantly increasing. All this gold has now to be shipped east at a large expense to the miners. The Homestake company alone ships $400,000 to $500,000 monthiy. It would seem that such a product of gold would ju tify the establishment of a mint, especially as Wyoming near at hand promises sooon o greatly fncrease the output. HEAVY WOOL SHIPMENTS. Since the fast service wool specials were fnaugurated several weeks ago by the Unlon Pacific the shipments along the line have been something unprecedented. Instead of ordinary trains of twenty cars or so, which was 2ll the company anticipated when the venture was put into effect, the business has amounted to thrice that, and during one weck it is stated that over 100 solil cars of wool have gone eastward over the main line. The Salt Lake Herald gives the cause for the rush as follow. The schedule rate on wool has been re- stored by both the Rlo Grande Western and the Union Pacific and as a result there was a great deal of the territorial clip shut o from the cut rate. During the past weeks the rush of wool through W has been very great, the greater portion of the shipments haying been made on consign- ments. The endeavor of the growers is to get their product on the castern market before the increase of the railroad tarif, which hereafter will be §1.90 to Boston. GOLD IN EMIGRANT GULCH. Standing on an elevated plateau on the east bank of the Yellowstone river, the eye takes in at a glance one of the most symmetrical and remarkable ranges of mountains to be seen anywhere in the west. Emigrant peak, a high volcanic cone 10,625 feet above tide ‘water, rears its snow crested summit majestically as the apex of the range. Tho eastern surface of the range s com basalt, in which the gold is found. grant gulch, a deep narrow gorge, cuts through the basalt deep Into the granitoid nucleus, revealing the mineral character as well as the future history of this range, writes a correspondent of the Anaconda Standard. Lying along the flank of the range is a belt lode on which numerous claims are located. It is an enormous fis- Lsure vein several miles long and over 100 feot wide In places. On one of the claims a tunnel has been run 140 feet, with a cr cut of 60 feet, and only one wall in sight. The group of claims are all on a direct line running southwest and northeast, and, in the hands of men who know how to extract values, will yleld richly, by free-milling process, from the grass roots down. Thero are numberless other quartz mines in the Bmigrant district upon which a greater amount of work has been done, and all that {8 necessary to make the district one of the heaviest gold producers in Park county is capital. says me tunnel ore in t at an made PROMISING PLACERS. Besides the quartz mines of the district, there are placer diggings which have been worked on a small scale for a number of years. Some of the ground is immensely rich in both fine and coarse gold, but owing to the enormous amount of money that it would take to build a canal sultable to carry the necessary volume of water on to the ground for sluicing purposes, the owners of the placers have had to content themselyes with working the poorer ground, close to the river, and upon which water could be run without too great an expense. But a bright day is about to dawn for the patient miners of Emigrant. Charles R. Glidden, who owns some of the richest placer ground in Emigrant gulch, re- cently formed a pool of several owners of ad- Jacent claims, and he has bonded to eastern capitalists a tract of placer ground three miles long afd over a mile in width, The first paymtent on the bond is to be made early in June. A representative of the east- ern syndicate visited the gulch but a few days ago, and from him it Is learned that the syndicate contemplates the immediate expenditurs of $250,000 in preliminary work on the group of mines under bond. The plan contemplates the construction of a large canal from the Yellowstone, near Gardiner, and the immense volume of water thus se- cured will be used for working the placers by hydraulic process. Should the contem- plated plan materialize it would give em- ployment to a large force of men and make Emigrant second to no placer camp in Mon- tana. RICH IDAHO PLACERS. The Murray Sun reports that James A. ‘Ward found a handsome plece of gold, we'gh- ing four and one-half ounces, valued at about $70, near the head of Trail gulch., He was on his way to the Wake Up Jim quartz lode, but the snow being too deep he concluded to work over an old dump of placer gravel. He rigged up an old sluice box near the dump. He shoveled in for several hours, cleaned up and had the nugget with some fine gold. The nugget is nearly round, smooth, and con- tains some rose-colored quar lie claim on which it was found has been prolific in similar larger slugs. The Stelnmetz chunk is also said to have been found there. And Mr. Ward and many others incline to the be lief that the Wake Up Jim, Crown Point and other ledges crossing the head of the Trail gulch are the sources of the wealth. A party of capitalists have located four mfles of the South Fork of Clearwater for placer mining, commencing at the reserva- tion line and running up stream. They pro- pose to work the bed of the river by means of steam machinery which forces a jot of steam from a bucket on the bedrock, and by means of another stream of cold air con- denses the vapor, and thus creates a vacuun which is filled by the sed!ment on the bed- rock. The bucket is then hoisted and the contents are prevented from escaping by a valye. On arrlving at the surface the gravel is washed by ordinary placer process. The machine is the Invention of an ol Coeur d'Alener named Walker, und was tested gome years since on Feather river In Cali- forn CHUNKS OF GOLD. A rich discovery was reported {n the Hijl- top lode, on Granite mountain, by the Pit- kin Minor. While worklag near the surface George Adams encountered huge chunks of ore, which could not be holsted without breaking, completely covered with free gold. A plece of one of these chunks was pounded up and panned and an unususl amount of coarse gold washed out. A rough estimate laces the value of the ore at from §160 to & per ton. Thomas Buullu&.l ploneer wminer of the district, says that It is the 1olmlrldl' by & storage battery. beat surtace showing he sver saw In the gold | belt. It fs believed that this float s from the East Granite mountain vein, Messrs, Stanley and Adams, owners, leased and bonded the property to Denver partles this cck. A shaft has been commenced and if he veln from whence these big chunks came 18 located the Hilltop will be a bonanza. A RICH VEIN Cnarley DBenson was seen by the Durango Southwest and gave some points of interest about the famous Columbus group, in which he is Joint owner with Messrs. Dotson and Willlams. This valuable property wa yonded last January to the owners of the celebrated Homestake mine in the Black Hills and 5,000 cash paid on the bond. A second pay- ment |8 due June 1 and Charles Wright of Omaha, who represents the progpective pur- chaszers, came out last week to examine th property.

The ore ha. been pretty thoroughiy tested at the cyanid mill on Junction ¢ where a lot of th teen tons, representing average of entire vein, ylelded $28 a ton In mill saving 94 per ce of the total value. Another lot of thirty-three tons yielded in gold to the ton. ROAD TO MILL CREBEK, The gold field at the head of Mill creck Is attracting considerable attention, says a special to the Denver Tim The drawback has been the lack of a wagon road to the camp, but this obs will now ba removed as the parties directly interested, with tic asslstance of the Board of County Commis sioners, are extending the road which leads from Dumont up Mill creek to the camp. As soon as the road s finished a stamp 1, the machinery for which is already on track ot Dumont, will be e:acted, A BOVINE HAY RAID. Mr. Fulton relates to the Boston Herald an experience he underwent on the ranch in Nevada of Russell & Bradley. The firm had about 4,000 head of eattle, and as the supply of hay was running low, that which was hand was surrounded by a fence, and was doled out to the cattle in small wisps, just sufficient in quantity to barely keep the ani- als alive. Mr. Fulton states that one night after ev body on the ranch had re- tired they were awakened by a low, rum- bling noise which sounded like the approach of some great atmospheric disturbance. le- coming louder, the men discovered it to be the lowing and bellowing of the cattle, who were soon making a hideous noise. IHastily dressing themselves the men hurried forth to ascertain the cause of the trouble, but before they had reached the herd the v body of animals had hurled themselyes against the fence surrounding the stacks of hay and were piled in a_compact, struggling mass which had literally leveled the hay from view. Nothing could be done with the cattle at the time, and the next morning an investigation disclosed that 350 head had been literally trampled to death in the mad rush of the excited herd for the tempting stacks of hay. THE don AKOTAS. Diphtheria has been raging at Willow Lakes for the past two weeks.

An artesian well 1,800 feet deep at Rdg- erly, N. D., Is throwing an intense stream mixed with mineral. A big lump of gold was found there recently. The annual conference of the Catholic clergy of North Dakota, the stale being one diocese, will be held from June 4 to 8, at the residence of Bishop Shanley, Fargo. The grand lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars, which has been in session for the past two days, has finished its work. Watertown was chosen for the next meeting. The Elkhorn railroad company has pur- chased the Hay Creek coal fields, paying $100,000. The road will no doubt be extended to that point this year and the mines will be opened up. The 190th dividend of the Homestake com- pany of 15 cents per share was paid at the office of the company in New York on the 25th ult., amounting to §18,750, a total to date of §5,156,450. William Mahannah, a_prominent artesian well contractor, who had just loaded up an outfit to start for Cumberland to sink a well, was put in jail at Miller for refusal to pay a board bill. This is the first conviction in the state under the new law. Mary B. Lease has signed a contract to speak for the populists of Sioux Falls on the Fourth of July. Senator Orville H.

The so-called June rise in the Missouri river has set in in earnest and the stream is again on the rampage. The steamer Last Chance has returned from Yankton and is now engaged in transferring to the west side of the river hundreds of cattle and a large number of prairie schooners that ac- cumulated at Chamberlain since the por- tion of the pontoon bridge was carried away by the high water of over a week ago. The pontoon cannot be placed in position again until the water subsides. The apportionment of the state tuition school fund for the quarter ending April 1 has just been made by the state superintend- cnt of instruction, and amounts in the aggre- gate to $141,818.40. There are 59,091 pupils in_ North Dakota, and the first quarterly apportionment this year amounts to $2.40 per capita. This fund is increasing so rapidly that even now some counties do not raise any school tax further than the state school tax of 2 mills. The fund, which has only been established for a very few years, now amounts to about $2,000,000, and Is con- stantly increasing. Tho case of the Amerlcan Investment com- pany against Beadle county, that has at- tracted unusual attention, has been decided by the supreme court. The question involye was whether or not the county was liable for taxes where the land had been sold at tre urer's sale, and for taxes paid after such sale, where the land taxed was subse- quently canceled by the government. The decision affirms the finding of the lower court and Is in favor of the defendant. Nearly every county in the state has cases hinging upon the decision of this case and many thousand dollars held by treasurers will ‘now be placed to the credit of the county. ~ The sums vary from $3,000 to $10,000, It has b late Captain n known for some time that the Farrell, a farmer of Stutsman county th Dakota, had patented before his death a valuable invention, but the exact value of the same has not fully been realized until recently. The patent is a steam wagon, the principle in which is sald to be applicable to other machinery. M. B, Far. rell, the brother of the deccased, has lately received letters from eastern parties endea oring to negotiate for the sale of the rig The principle Involved in the invention regarded as very valuable, as figures esti- mating the value of the same have been placed as high as $25,000 and $30,000, A New York firm has made a proposition in- volving $20,000 and the probabilities are that & sale will be shortly made.

The county commissioners of El Paso have given assurance they will build a new road, now badly needed and which is expected to boom the camp. The development of the Ritzhugh, aban- doned in 1881, is one of the most important enterprises in Lake county. A formation has been found similar to that in the shaft of the Bankok-Cora Belle. Eighteen men are employed now, and an additional force will be put on as soon as the ore is reached. Thero Is considerable excitement at the camp at Hahn's peak over the fact that a lead has been struck by D. Humphreys which is claimed to be a vein to the great placer fields which have on an average for twenty-six years yielded an annual output of §60,000. Operations will be made on an extensive scale. W. A Koneyman, superintendent of the United States Reduction Works company, says that contracts have been let for erect- ing a 125-ton plant at Florence, which it is expected to increase to 500 tons during the year. Grading has commenced for the itch and side tracks to be put in by the Florence & Cripple Creek Railroad company, and an order has been placed for 100,000 fire brick. A flock of 10,000 sheep at Grand Junction owned by Mr. Martinez is being driven to- ward the Grand mesa. Mr. Martinez says that he has the permission of the governor to drive the sheep through the mesa and on to Seguache county. Inspector Mason says, howgver, that he has been authorized by the governor to notify Mr. Martinez that he must not undertake the trip. The latter is deter- mined. He has forty-five men armed with Winchesters in charge of the flock, and he declares he will go through. WYOMING. There have been 30,000 trout recently placed in Green river. Over 2,000 feet of roadbed away at Arlington. Cheyenne is arranging tournament in August. The Burlington Is building 4,000 feet of track every day on its Sheridan extension to Montana. A carload of elk will be shipped east as soon as the water in the Snake river gets low enough to ship them. A very large acreage of grain has been put in about Sundance. There has been an abundance of rain and crops look promising. Casper's wool industry is assuming large proportions and over a million and a half pounds of the product will be shipped east this season, Advices from Lander are to the effect that rich strikes in both quartz and placer gold have been made near Lewiston, in Fre- mont county. Four gray wolves were brought to the city from Laramie peak alive, says the Boomerang. They had to be killed, how- ever, before the bounty of $8 on each hide could be paid. These young animals were run down and caught by a dog. J. K. Graves of Dubuque, Ia, has con- cluded the sale of the Larrabee coal lands in Wyoming. The transaction was made in Chicago, and the purchasers are eastern capitalists, The coal is of superior quality and very abundant. The figures in the trans- action are not made public. * The work of putting the track in better condition on the Union Pacific main line by laying new rails, which was begun two years ago, will be continued this summer. The work of laying seventeen miles of new rails on the sixth district will begin on Wednesday of this week at Fort Steel. J. B. Long, an Illinois sheep raiser, has shipped 16,000 head of western sheep to London and sold them at a profit over the prices pald in this country. He is now buying western sheep, which he will fatten in Minnesota and Illinois and then send them across the Atlantic. Wyoming men are watching his scheme with much interest. Gus Rydeen, formerly of Red Cloud, works out in Wyoming for the Warner Live Stock company. The other day he, with five other men, were sent out with 5000 sheep to Goosehill, or some such place in the moun- tains. Before arriving at their destination they were waylaid by bandits and two of the men were wounded and 260 sheep kiiled. The round-up boys inform the Paint Rock Record that very few dead cattle are to be found on the range, and that unless they begin to show up very soon the loss in range cattle during the past winter will not be any larger than usual. This s decldedly encouraging news, and It is to be hoped the facts will verify the statement. Judging from the reports from varlous quarters the above is the case in all sections of the basin. It is expected that the Burlington will be completed to a connection with the Northern Pacific at Billings by Octcber Com- mereing at Alger, Wyo., elght miles beyond Sheridan, the builders have begun track laying, and having about twenty miles of road bed that was graded last year to begin with, will make rapid progress. A large part of the line from that point on to Billings is being graded, and subcontractors are stringing out thelr men along the route They have about 1,400 men now.
