* owner for a revolver, P * PULSE OFWESTERN PROGRESS | Crock Oounty, Wyoming, Exoited Over the | Promise of Two New Railroads, BALD MCUNTAIN MNERS IN A BAD MUDDLE Tangible Shape — A $2,000,000 Con- tract Mado-A Word About Sugar Beets—Goneral Wostern News. | Arizona's Big Trrigating Scheme Assaming | | | There in a great deal of excitement in Crook county, says the Laramie Boomerang, regarding the bullding of two new raliroads in that part of the state. Governor Larrabee and others interested with him in the coal lands in the northweéstern part of Wyoming on Hay croek recently sold 1,120 weres of coal land 0 Underwood & Young of New York, and since that transaction a survey for the construction of a rafirond from this state into South Dakota has been lot. It will be twenty miles in length and will run from the coal landa to Minnesela. According to the contract, the road is to be graded and fron teady for rolling stock in ninety days. | This action has started the Elkhorn people &t work, and a day or two ago the general manager of that road, Mr. Burt, with Chief Engineer Berry, arrived in the north- western part of the state with a corps of murveyors and it is understood there that the Elkhorn intends to penetrate these new coal fields at once. The Elkhorn some time ago, it is said, had 8 number of tests made of the coal there by different parties, and all of them showed it to be such a superior article that they have only been walting to build for the pur- | pose of trying to get hold of the lands ehieaply, but now that another company has staried in they dare not wait longer. It means a big boom, new towns, etc., in the northwestern part of the state. A very important question has been ratsed In this city, which deeply concerns the mincrs of Bald mountain and many land owners along the line of the Union Pacific rallroad. Bald mountain, where all the fwportant mineral discoveries have been made recently in this vieinity, is shown on the railroad company's mape as being railroad lands, and the question now arises 88 to whether the company can clatm them Touching this point s the decision of Judge Hallett to the effect that the twenty- mile right of way of the company must be ade from the raflroad on parallels from the rond and mot obliquely across sections. There i8 also the decision known as the Montana decision of the United States supreme court which exempts mineral lands from the right of way. However, at the present time the lands are supposcd to be claimed by the Union Pacific company. If these decisions should hold good in this case there would have to be new surveys made of the company Jands, and the result would be that consider- able land now supposed to be railroad land, some of which has been sold to companies and resold to settlers, would be thrown back into the government domain. WILL BOOM PHOENIX. The grand water storage proposition on the Rio Verde has at last assumed tangible shape. A §2,000,000 contract has been let at Indianapoils, Ind., to construct storage and_divisfon dams and 100 miles of canal by January 1, 1896. The storage dam site is located between sixty and seventy miles northwest of Phoe- nix. This dam will raise watdr 160 feet, says the San Francisco Call. The base will be 260 feet and the breadth across the stream will be 360 feet. The material used will be rock, laid by hand, with the upper face ce- mented with asphalt sufficient to be {mpervi- ous to the wear and tear of floods. This structure 1s iotended to Impound flood waters. - Below it some fifteen or twenty miles on the same river a dam is to be built to divert the water Into. the canal, which will follow down the Verde some thirty miles, and crosses the McDowell divide a quarter of a mile west of the milltary road; thence north- westerly across the Paradise valley, half a ile north of the Union mine; thence westerly through Deer valley to the Agua Frio, which i crossed at the Calderwood Buttes, sixty miles from the head, and running westerly and southwesterly along the cast flank of the White Tank mountains to the southcast cor- ner of that range. The country lying between these moun- talns and the Agua Frio, or Excelsior Val- ley, will be covered by the canal Its capac- ity will be 57,000 miner's Inches. A miner's tnch, as calculated, is a flow of one and a Rhalf cublc feet per minute. By April and October, 1896, water will be stored to cover and reclaim 220,000 acres of desert land. It is intended to enlarge the storage capacity on completion of this contract to cover an ares of 400,000 acres. The impounded water will be used only dur- ing the dry season. The ranges adjacent to this enterprise are known to be rich in the precious min- erals, and almost the entire length of the eanal well known mining camps, some es- tablished yewrs ago and of great merit, exis The business men of Phoenix are greatly elated over the prospect. DEER CREEK MINES. One of the Wells brothers, who discovered the rich gold quartz mine at the head of Deer Creek a short time ago, says the Boise Btatesman, was in town during the past week and brings the Information (hat they are now down eighteen feet, and that the vein is three feet wide of ore that will mill about 50 per ton. Five hundred feet from where the discovery was made they have opened up the ledge and discovered good ore. They will push development work as rapidly as possi- ble.. In the course of a few weeks they will when they expect to have a crushing out, realize handsomely. Near this mine is another that is under murll'lolf development. It is narrow, but yery rich, although it widens with depth. The lodge was also discovered by the Wells brothers, who nave sold it to the present The indications now @re that it will turn out to be a rich and ex- tensive gold mine. Several other men are Tow prospecting In that section, and we ex- pect that many more gold ledges will be dis- covered before fall. ( BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY. In an extended communication to a New York paper on the national value of the beet sugar dndustry, Gerritt Smith Glen reaches the following conclusions: First—That we have the market for sugar At home at the present time which will con- sume the product of at least 1,200,000 acres Of land; that the per capita consumption of Sugar here is rapidly Increasing, which, With our great increase in population, Creates and insures a constantly increasing demand. Our imports in 1891 exceeded our mports in 1889 by more than 500,000 tons. Second—The production of beet sugar s fncreasing more rapidly than that of cane sugar. Third—<That the production of sugar beets here at a profit has been clearly demon- strated and therefore has ccased to be an experiment. Fourth—That the culture of the beet, when understood, Bot require skilled labor. FUfth—That beets can be sent direct from the harvest field to the manufactory without Burther preparation or storage. Sixth—That the culture of the sugar beet does not require any considerable investment of capital by the grower. Seventh—That the implements required for the production of sugar beets are simple and nexpensive as compared to those required for the production of wheat. Eighth—That the soil upon which beets Bave been successfully grown is left in prime pondition for other crops. Ninth—That we have a very large area of comparatively low-priced lands, upon which Sugar beets can be grown successfully Tenth—That the profit to the grewer is greater than the average of other crops. Eloventh—That four months after the crop is planted it can be harvested aud at once eonverted Into money Twelfth—That with patient and persistent application any person of ordinary intelligence can sucoessfully produce the sugar beets upon lands within the belt deseribed. KING OF GRASSES. sugar is simple and does Each succeeding year demonstrates the great value of alfulfs to the stockmen of this state, says the Oroville (Cal) Register. One Fear the spring rains fall just at the right plme, and feed i luxurisnt and hay abun- dunt, but the very next season the north wind dries up the surface of the grownd, the rain- fall I8 light, and in consequence pasture is seant and the hay crop light. Formerly there used to be great loss of sheep and eattle doring a very dry year, but now the stockmen rewort e green and luxuriant | altwita flelds, and thelr animale are kept alive, aithough they pay a rownd price for partute. Along the coakt and tn the Sacramento valley enough rain has always fallen to in- sure feed and fair crops, in San Joaquin valley and in parts of southern Call- fornia there was during some years a tr mendous loss of stock. Alfalfa-growing is becoming of more importance each scasor and this year will cause a demand for overy pound of hay and every acre of alfalfa pasture in the state. The great irrigation systems have multi- plied and increased, and each year soes more | Weres of Jand devoied to wifalfa. This is well named the king of grasses, for with abun- dant water jt will yield trom seven to filte tons of hay per acre, beside giving three months of pasturc. It improves and benefits the land, and lasts for years when properly cared for. It cnables the fsrmer and stock- man to be independent of spring rains, and insures him a good crop, no matter what the scason may Le. We predict that this season will cause many stock owners to abandon their exten- sive natura! ranges and to confine their attention to fewer acres. They will select land that ean be irrigated, land that in suit- able for alfalfa, and will in the future de- pend more upon this grass, which is richer und more nutritious than the wild grasses and which can be made to produce enormous crops it properly irrigated. IMPORTANT MEXICAN RAILWAY. A chapter on Mexican railways compiled from information derived from various sources forms an Interesting feature of the report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture for June. The number of miles of raflway constructed in Mexico is put down at 7,297 Concerning the railway across the Isth- mus of Tehauntepec, the statitician's re- port says that the concession for its con- struction {8 now held by BEdward Me- Murdo of Lendon. The peculiarity of this concession s that instead of passing into the hands of the government at the ex- piration of ninety-nine years from a certain fixed date, like other railway concessions in Mexico, it becomes the property of the gov- ernment as soon as completed. The line will be completed in a few months. It is destined to connect the Atlantic and Pacific occans by crossing the Isthmus of Tehuan- tepec from Coatzacoalcos, on the Gulf of Mexico, to the port of Cruz, on the Pacific coast. Some twenty miles in the center of the fsthmus still remain to be constructed. When the fmportant works at the port of Coatzacoalcos, on the gulf, are finished, which are now under way, at an estimated cost of $4,300,000, with a view to accommodate mari- time commerce, and the completion of a building of a long iron pler at Salina Cruz, on the Pacific coast, it is expected that within five years seagoing vessels of a large class will be able to anchor in the port, and that the maritime trade of the United States and Mexico, now carried on by way of Pan- ama, will be saved a distance of more than 2,400 miles, and the same advantage will be extended to commerce between Europe and Pacific ports lying north of the isthmus. RICH STRIKE. The Silver City (N. M.) Enterprise states that Savage Bros. & Kilburn recently leased the Scotch Lass mine from Harry McAllister. Their first samples astonished them by the immense richness of the ore. Doubting that the ore would run with the samples indi- cated, they shipped a trial lot of 1,000 pounds to the Pueblo Smelting and Refining company. On Wednesday they got their re- turns from the ore, which netted $1,349.36, or at the rate of nearly $1 per pound clear of charges. In addition to this they ground fifteen pounds of the richest rock in a hand mortar and got gold which sold for $88. This claim is located a half mile northwest from Hall's station on the Silver City & Northern railroad. The mine has a shaft seventy-five feet in depth and a drift thirty feet in length; the ore body is from six inches to a foot in thick- ness and continues as far as developed. This is only one of the many rich gold strikes in this vicinity, every week from one to three new ones being discovered. WELL NAMED CAMP. Intense excitement exists in camp over a discovery of a rich float in El Dorado moun- tain, one-half mile north of this camp, says an El Dorado special to the Denver While out hunting horses Oren Beach picked up a piece of quartz literally covered with tree gold, which old miners pronounce worth $20,000 per ton. The mountain is being rap- idly staked and a number of miners are pro pecting in search of the bonanza. Messrs. Rosenbaum and Canon have been investigating mines in the interest of Li fayette (Indiuna) capital. They will make a thorough test of ores from this camp with a vlew of determining the process best adapted to treatment, and if satisfactory will organize a mining and milling company Good placer diggings have been discovered at the head of Tucker gulch, north of El Dorado, Finley and Scruggs, getting as high as 10 cents to the pan, while the creek affords an abundance of water. FREMONT COUNTY GOLD. In calling attention to recent rich finds made in the Atlantlc district, the Fremont Clipper says: “The Henry Burk find on the head of Strawberry is all the talk now. The find is on the hill above the Dutch Tom gulch. The ledge is only eighteen inches wide, but it is very rich. It is a rotten slate and light quartz, showing nugget gold and slate with long coarse gold. The rotten quartz washes out from $10 to $25 per pan. It is certalnly a very rich find and one that is attracting much attention. It has been known that there was a lead in that hill, as the rich placer in Dutch Tom gulch could come from nowhere else. The mine will be developed as fast as the owner is able to do so, and it is generally conceded that it will prove to be a producer.” SCORPION'S STING. While hauling rock the other day Walter Willis of Paradise was stung by a scorpion The venomous insect was under a rock that he turned over, says the Logan (Utah) Na- tion, and it immediately attacked him, fas- tening itself so firmly between the third and little fingers of one of his hands that it took a hard pull to detach it. It was fully three inches in length, and its sting pene- trated deeply. Mr. Willis was in the mouth of Paradise canon at the time, and he hastened home at once, and after taking one drink of liquor was rapidly driven to Logan. When hie arrived here he was a very sick man, as several hours had elapsed since he was stung, and his blood was filied with the poison. Dr. Ormsby made an in- cision in the hand and extracted all the poison possible, at the same time giving him quantities of whisky and hypodermically injecting restoratives. It looked at one time as i it was all in vain, as he bocume par- tlally paralyzed and cold, and his pulse fell rapidly. His arm was swollen to an im- mense size, and something similar to a rash broke out on it. The veins swelled until they looked as if they would burst. After a time he rallied and was taken home, but he was by no means out of danger then. His attendants were instructed how to admin- ister the whisky with which he was pro- vided. 1If he had taken a large quantity of liguor before leaving home he would bave been in much better condition. OId bunters say whisky is a sure antidote, and that if a person stung by a scorplon or bitten by a rattlesnake will get thoroughly drunk, stay- ing intoxicated for a day, they will feel no ill effects. DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. Judge Kunowles of the United States court, who recently sent a bunch of Common- wealers to the Missoula county jall for six mouths, cites the Burlington extension through Montana as advertising for men A Lewiston correspondent, taking exception 10 this reference, saye he hopes the judge knows more about law than he does about the Burlington extension. The Burlington, he says, pays $16 per month for men, board furnished, while its commissaries charged strictly western prices for all supplies. The entire route to be graded lies within the boundaries of the Orow Indian reservation This excludes all stores except the com. missaries of thie contractors, giving them a monopoly on all goods. Shoes that wholesale at 8bo are sold for $2.50; shirts costing 30 cents for $1.25. A cob pipe brings 10 cents and the “hobo” who lands there pays 50 cents for each meal before he goes to work. Thus with the pauper wages are allied kingly prices. It is true western men are sccustomed to high prices, but they are also accustomed to $2.50 and $3 per day, and these disparities are enough to make a man think whether it is not equally as foolish to THE OMAHA At Ridiculously Low Prices.

People coming down from the vicinity of Birch creek inform us that creek is now swarming with trout, and that a great many are being caught from it, some weighing as much as four or five pounds, says the Sal- mon City Republic. Birch creek is one of the numerous streams of this state that dis- appear from sight. It sinks into the earth and no one seems to know where its mouth is. This creek never contained any fish un- til within the last four years, About the last of May, 1890, M. Hewitson, now of this place; Joe Littlefield and Andrew Langley of Junction caught some seventy-five or more trout in Ten Mile creek and Clear creek, above Junction, carried them in oil cans thirty miles to Birch creek and turned them loose. These have increased in numbers and size until the creek is now one of the best stocked trout streams in the state. PETRIFIED FIRS. Some interesting _geological _discoveries have been made by the miners in the 2,000- foot level of the No. 4 vein of the New- castle mine, says the Seattle Post-Intelli- gencer, which will assist in the explana- tion of the formation of the land in that vicinity. In the regular formation of the sandstone roof in one of the gangways were found masses of petrified fir wood and bark, which showed the lines plainly marked of the different stages of growth. Superin- tendent Corey has some fine specimens in his office, both of the wood and bark A remarkable point abour both specimens is that on the inner side of the bark is a depesit of a white crystalline substance, and running in the veins through the wood is the same material. It is harder than steel, and cuts glass like a diamond, but seems to bs nothing but crystallized pitch. Another specimen is fir wood in a more advanced stage toward coal, with pieces of petrified rosin imbedded in it. BAD INDIANS IN ALASKA. Settlers along the Alaska coast morth of Prince Willlam sound have reported to the government authorities that there is immi- nent danger of an Indian uprising. Near Shakan harbor last month the Indians killed an unknown white man while coming down the coast ad mutilated the corpse horribly Another murder {s reported in that vicinity, the particulars of which are unknown Settlers, in a letter to the governor, report the incompetency of the government peace officers, who, they aver, are afraid of the Indians and dare not enforcoe the law. A revenue cutter was dispatched to the scene of the trouble, with orders to arrest and bring to justice the guilty Indlans. THE DAKOTAS. The ,corner stone of a new court house at Hillsbdro, N. D., was laid last week. Graduates of the Spearfish Normal school have organized an alumni association. The Ward hall of science at Yankton col- lege has been completed at a cost of $75,000. The Black Hills Chautauqua assembly meeting at Deadwood will open July b and continue to the 13th. Sturgis will on July 4, in addition to the annual reunion of the soldiers and sailors on that day, hold a hose race or two for a purse of $150 or $200. The South Dakota State Dental associa- tion, which just closed its annual session at Parker, has chosen Sioux Falls as the place for their next meeting. The Spearfish Bulletin says the crop out- look in the morthern hills is better than for the past five or six, years. That's about the condition of affairs down here, too, says the Rapid City Republican. A base ball nine composed entirely of cowboys has been organized at Belle Fourche. They wear high heeled boots, spurs, chaps and six-shooters. Umpires will have to secure some of the new bullet proof armor. Dr. Cheney, an old established physiclan in the Black Hills, was arrested at Hot Springs on the charge of felonious assault upon Sadie McCurdy, & girl of fifteen years. Two gamblers arrested on the same charge are each under $250 bonds. It was discovered the other day that the Ajax tunnel in Bald mountain had caved in Investigation proved that It may have oc- ourred three days before. Two men have been doing dead work in the tunnel, and, as they were “baching” near by, they were not missed. They bave not been seen for so long that their friends have no hops of ever seeing them alive. The names of the fated men are William Chubb and Alex Lee. The discovery was made by the owner of the mine, who went to take supplies to the men. The sulphur springs at Wessington Springs, the county seat of Jerauld, is to have a system of water works and be otherwise developed by the townsite company, of which D. A Scott of the Queen City and Dr. Burr of Mitchell are part owners. Those who have tested the qualities of the water declare it to be as good as any to be found In the state for medical purposes. George Kirkby, a farmer living a few miles west-of Bathgate, was away from home with his wife and left a girl of 12 years in care of the house. She called another little girl of 9 years to come and stay with her. She took down a loaded gun to show her playmate how she could defend herself in case a tramp should call. The neighbor’s girl looked in the muzzle of the gun just as the Kirkby girl pulled the trigger. The charge blew off the top of the head of her playmate. The water of the artesian well at Harold has been discovered to possess remarkable medicinal properties. It has a temperature of 95 degrees and s the warmest of any artesian well in the state. An analysis of the water likewise shows that its ingredients are substantially identical with those of the famous Hot Springs in the Black Hills, and it is believed that It possesses the same healing qualities. It has proved to be greatly beneficial to per:ons afflicted with rheumatism, and cases of skin and blood dis- eases have been completely cured. The citi- zens of the town have erected a comfortable and convenient bath house, which is now open to all who desire to avail themselves of its curative powers COLORADO. The Ground Hog at Red CIiff has shipped 7,400 pounds of ore, netting $10,000 to the ton, A strike of high grade ore has been made in the Champion lode extension at Spencer, Gunnison county. The Beaver creek district, near Creede, is having a boom. Over 300 prospectors are working the district. A lot of new flumes have been placed in the Alma placers and a full force of men is working the properties. It cost Glenwood Springs and Garfield county $525 to entertain the delegates to the late western slope congres Three trail herds, numbering 8,000 cattle, have been detained since June 1 near Lamar on account of floods in the Arkansas. It is estimated that the Cripple strike cost laborers, merchants and roads, in loss of freight, etc., $545,000. A ranchman named Durston killed a cin- namon bear welghing, 3f0 pounds last week on Butte creek, near the south line of Prowers county. A body of ore assaying 180 ounces of silver has been struck in the Cave mine at Rico. The org body is found in contact of lime and porphyry. Creek rail- Duval & Franklin have struck a rich vein on the Page lode just spith of the Independ- ence mine at Cripplé Greek. They begin shipping ore next week. A rich strike is reported in the Galena property on Iron mounta, Cripple Creek. The claim was locatéd six months ago. A test of ore shows $51 per ton. Other strikes on the Omega and near the Alexander are reported. In Routt county thére’ts a cat which re- cently batched out four goslings. The goose eggs were placed in a box containing the old cat and a litter of kittemrand in three weeks the 0ld cat found herself the mother of four goese The Mancos Times reports that Phillipe & Son have made runs from six samples taken from the Phantom mine. The average of these six assays was 256 ounces in silver and 1210 in gold. The ruus were very even, the lowest silver being niuety-three ounces and the highest but 317, and the lowest of gold being one-half ounce and the highest one and one-half ounces. This Phantom ore is found in a new direction from the old rkings, and much is expeoted from the new find The Denver & Western Rallway com- pany, recently incorporated, will connect the Alice placer aud the Alice mine, Yankee hill and Green Fall river with the Gilpin tram- way system, which connects with the Colo- rado Central road. It commences at the new town of Alice, on Sflver Creek, Clear Creek couty, and runs easterly to the head of Russell gulch, down the gulch to con- nect with the Colorado Central railroad. It i also proposed to run another branch by the most practical route to Central City and Black Hawk; also to extend the line of branches to Denver, and from Alice westerly and northerly to the lines of the state. The people of Glenwood Springs are bus improving tneir resort. The Avalanche notes the completion of the pavilion on the top of Lookout mountain. The latest scheme is the construction of an easy grade road to the summit of Lookout. As projected it will_follow the valley of the Roaring Fork to Red canon, where it will commence to ascend, all the time being in full view of Glenwood and the Grand and Roaring Fork valleys. The building of trails and roads to the points of interest in the neighborhood of Glenwood has been the one thing neede to make Glenwood the ideal of a mountain summer or winter resort. WYOMING. From twenty-five to thirty cars of tin are being loaded daily at Medicine Bow, on the Union Pacific. The house has agreed to Mr. Carmon's amendment increasing the appropriation for the Shoshone Indians from $10,000 to $15,000 The new administration bullding at Fort Russell will be turned over to the military authorities by the contractors this week. The snow 1s reported to be nearly all gone from the Gold Hill region, and prospectors have almost a clear field a mouth earlier than usual. A large irrigating ditch is to be taken out from the Platte river opposite the mouth of Wagonhound creek, if the preliminary survey pro satisfactor The alfalfa crop in Natrona county, Wy- oming, is unusually large this year, and cut- ting has been commenced on several ranches. The season is at least ten days in advance of last year. A letter received by Engineer James King of Rawlins informed him that his brother, Richard King,had been shot through the right breast by a soldier the other day, who mis- took him for an antelope. The shooting oc- curred in Carbon county near Baggs. Mr. Robert McAuley, the old pioncer, has a real curlosity, taken from the creek bed one-fourth of a mile below Atlantic. It is a piece of float which weighs a little over two and a half pounds. It is estimated that it contains $500 in gold. The rock is goose-egs shaped and shows quite as much gold as it does rock. From a letter received in this ci the Fremont (Neb.) Herald, it was that a syndicate of Nebraska men h: con- summated & deal whereby they acquired p session of a body of land in Wyoming con- taining about 40,000 acres. This land will be occupied by colonies from some of the emst ern states, the compiny having agents at work in the matter at this time, One of the curiosities of the Stinking- water canon is the alum cave. The cave apepars to be an extinct geyser and is about fifteen feet across and easily accessible. The aulm is on the sides and is about six feet in thickness. The country over quite an area in that vicinity is a former geyser basin, of which nothing remains but hot sulphur springs and the extinct craters. The Douglas Press, remarking that the pao- ple of Wyoming are better than they would be elsewhere, tells the oft following story “A foreign government! sent twenty agents into the sections of Wyoming where there bad been complaiuts in order to induce dis satisfied settlers to remove to their country, offering them free transportation and other inducements. They got no emigrants, and n- stead twelve of the twenty agents declded to settle in Wyoming." The Yellowstone Park Land and Improy ment association, which recently filed articles of incorporation, says the Cheyenne Leader. has filed an application with the State Board Control for a permit to construct the dmaka canal,” and take water for irrigat ing purposes from the Big Horn river. The company proposes building a canal forty-tw feet wide at the top, thirty foet wide at the bottom, four feet deep and fifty-five miles long. Ten thousand lineal feet of flume will be required. The total cost of the work will be $200,000. —— DeWitt's Witch Hazel salve cures piles. Balloon nightly at 8. Courtland. FREE TREATMENT From June 25 to July 2.
