It Is expected that the cars will be running to Roswell by the middle of September or soon after. Roswell 1s one of the oldest towns in the Pecos Valley, says an Eddy correspondent to the Denver Times-Sun. It has a popula tion of 1,600, and farming has successfully been carried on thereabouts longer than at the por- t or- other fertile poiuts. Eddy is located in center of the wide fortile area, a lar tion of which has be:n reclaimed in the pa tew years, that forms the southeastern ner of New Mexic The building of a magnificent and com- plete system of irrigating canals over 1,200 miles In length has diverted the waters from the Pecos o as to cover and make produc- tive more than 250,000 acres of land, of which over 60,000 acres are now under cul- tivation, Here crops of all kinds can be grown from alfalfa, corn and small grains to the most luscious peaches, plums and other fruits of all sorts and varieties.

The prospectors in the country just south farming paradise is th has a population of of this city held a meeting and organized the Green Mountain Mining district, and adopted a set of local regulations that are Gunnison correspondent to the Denver News. A petition for the es- tablishment of a_postofice was also circy- lated and recived over 100 signatures. The office is to be known as Union Hill. D. J. Lesan was unanimously endorsed for post- master. to govern, says a It 1s surprising what magnificent ore is belng brought in from some of the recent discoveries. Gilbert Bros. of Bonanza un- covered a two-foot vein of white sugar quartz which is between schist and tale. “They are down only six feet, and have about two tons of ore on the dump, not one piece of which can be found in which free gold is not seen. Fred Cuenin and Joseph Grant have the same vein further up the hill, and the ore there Is of the same character, being full of shot gold. They are down’ eight’ feet and the rock is improving on depth. Eugene Willlams is another who made a good find, stmilar in character to the above. These findy are creating much excitement and already a number of prospectors are going into the new field. The gulches have for some years been located and worked, and some are patented as placer claims, and although diligent search has been made for the sources of the gold in these gulches, no success has been attained until the past few weeks. Now it is almost certain the source has been dis- covered. VERY RICH STRIKE. Mr. M. S. Denton brought ore to this alipfrom {he. Now Deal mine on Silver fduntain which assayed over $700 to the ton f‘l gold, with good prospects for something richer, says a La Veta special to the Denver NoWs. This strike was made in an old deserted claim and Mr. H. Turner, assayer of this clty, says It is a wonderful strike for that kind of ore and will in time develop into ong of the richest strikes in the state. They have tunnelled over 130 fe:t through solld rock and have the best walls of any mine In the Silver Mountain district. This company has staked twenty adjoining claims and s going to push it to a finish. There are, now fifty tons of ore in sight and ready to be brought to La Veta for shipment. This claim Is adjacent to the Silver Moun- taln Mining and Milling company's property on the same mountaif, The owners of this phopéfty are M. S. Denton, president; V. E. Sampson, vics president; C. W. Richards, treasurer; B. E. Richards, sccretary. Silver mountain will be alive with people this week, as the news has spread through the adjoining country and strangers are al- ready arrlving in La Veta bound for Silver mouptain. Without a doubt it is a second Cripple Creck. FOR WORKING DRY PLACERS. A party of prospectors from Chadron, Neb., have gone \o the Black Hills (o try their 1otk at minmg. In the party is Jim Boyd, who formerly worked some dry diggings in the gulches near Custer City, but on ac- coynt of the lack of water it didw't pay. Evér since, with that fascination that takes old of a man who once shakes a gold pan, he has been figuring how he could get that gold without working quite so hard for it. After careful experiments he has made an alr blast machine on the fanning mill order Which he thinks ought to save most of the gold, and the party went to the old placer diggings to try it. The machine saved lead and filings on a frial run of sand, and Jim thinks It cught to save gold just the same. The machine is good for twenty yards of dirt per day, and he hopes to show with it that dry placers can bo worked with profit where lack of water has heretofore made them practically of no account A LIQUID GOLD MINE. Charles Schuelder, proprietor of the West- ern hotel at Twelfth and Larimer streets, his employes and friends have been taking a mild form of gold cure for a yeir past. The fact was only discovered the other day, when it was found that the yellow metal existed to a paying extent in an artesian well which hay been in operation for some years and has been the principal source of the water supply of the hostelry for that period. The well is sunk to a depth of 700 feet, and the water therefrom is said to be the pure and clearest in town, says the Denver Time: Sun. There was considerable excitement around the hotel when the find was made by Henry Rigger, the head cook He quickly notified Mr, Schnelder, who he- camo 80 overjoyed at the good fortune th had so suddenly befallen his place that it was_with dificulty that he could attend to his business during the day. R'gger, when he made the discovery, was engaged in clean- ing out the water tank. The pump and tank are both thoroughly renovated every month. A large amount of sand finds its way there, but this sediment is always taken out and thrown away. This month, how- ever, was an exception to the rule. Rigger thought that he saw some particles cf gold in the sand, and accordingly panned it. The work proved entirely worth his while, for several geod sized pleces or the metal were se- cured. All the cooks and several of the other employes were put to work afterwards, and as a result, it is claimed, that nearly 100 pleces on an average as large &s a pin head were obtained from the sand. Later on some of the water from the well was analyzed, and this was also found to con- taln specs of gold. A number of old min- ers, who were guests at the hotel, examined the findings and pronounced them a good thing for Mr. Schnelder. An assay will be made, and this Mr. Schneider expeots will show' that his hotel is built over a gold mine, Those who have seen some of the metal are of the opinion that a hidden stream from the mountsin has found its way to the bottom of the well and is stead- Ay’ washing the particles of gold into it, and think that still more will be pumped up with the water. RAINMAKING A FAK 0. 8. Cook of Aberdeen, who was one of the commissioners to whom was revealed ths welghty secrets of the Jewell plan for mak- ing rain artificlally, and who has given it ample and thorough triul at numerous tim since early spring, is satisfied it is an un- mitigated fake, pure and simple. He says he and his colleague, Mr. Chamberlain, fol: Jowed the lnstructions to the leiter under THF OMAHA DAILY BH all kinds of conditions and failed to secure even a light dew. the During the early part of soason the weather was so cold that it »d an excuse for faliure, mays an Aberdeen special to the Slonx Falls Argus- Leader, but later ovory condition laid down by Jowell as necessary to success has been T y fullliled, and yet the manufacture { wecording_to Kis instructions pre 1o rain, Mr. Cook says he Is now led the people of this community we 1 out of several hundred dollars by a shrewd confidence game, but on the other hand thinks it was worth something to bo i a position to expose the fraud which has been practiced by Jewell and other wizards NEW MEXICO GOLD, “I had sion to visit the new gold camp on Spring ereek In Taos county, New Mexico, on the southern part of the Sangre de Cristo grant » days ago, says a con- tributor to the Denver Times-Sun, and as the future of the camp bids fair to be a bright one, I take the liberty of conveying the following information: The camp Ix located about twenty miles from Costilla N. M., about eighteen from Elizabethtown, N. M., and_thirty-five miles from Catskill, N. M., the latter being the nearest raflroad point. About 100 prospectors are now in the camp and viclnity, and a number of claims are being staked under the favorable terms offercd by the United States Free hold Land and igration company, th owners of that portion of the grant. The best claims, or better sald the most de- veloped claims, are the Wonder and Aztee and from either of these one can ta portion of the crevasse matter (rock, both in its true form and decomposed and dis integratcd), and by ponnding it up with a common hammer and panning it obtain from one to several hundred colors of a very pure gold.. The bottom of Spring creek s entirely taken up by r locations for its entire length, some two and a quarter les, to its confluence with Comanche creck From the reports of prospectors the dis tribution of t gold extends over a surface of from three to even miles. Little de veloprient work has so far been done, as the camp is barely two months old, but for the amount done the showing is very good A month or two more expended in develop- ment work will indicate the true character and permanency of the veins, which vary in width from about two to thirty feet The ore so far found is perfectly free milling. The camp is situated at an altitude of abcut 10,000 feet and is somewhat difficult of access, but the roads not extremely bad. being somewhat steep in places, but not very rough or rocky RICHEST MINE IN MONTANA. Reports from Lewiston are to the effect that one of the richest strikes ever known in the Judith mountains was made a week 80 in the old Spotted Horsae mine. A large pocket of ore wzs found running from §10,000 to $1 000 per ton, says the Helena Herald. So far the extent of the ore body is not Known, but during the past week more than $150,- 000 in cre has been removed. But two men > at work taking out the ore, and the ay- e is about $15,000 per day to each man. ore is not worked at the mills, but shipped to the Omaha smelter. This find proves the Spotted Horse to be the richest gold mine ever discovered in this state, leaving the celebrated Cable and oid Penobscott far in the background. While a number of rich pockets and ‘“kidneys" have been found in the Spotted Horse, this discovery s the most extensive yet made. TELLURIDE'S BOAST. Every gold property in the county that is being worked is paying, and paying handsomely, says the Telluride Republi- can. Their total is not one In ffty of the known gold bearing deposit of the county. When the other forty-nine are brought, as they will be, to the point of productiveness, the gold output of San Miguel county wili equal that of all the rest of the state com- bined. Since the settlement of the dis- trict there has never been a time when the development of its mines was recelving as much attention as at present. This is es- pecially true of the gold properties, and the demand for such properties is constantly increasing. A number cf experts are now in_the county examining properties for out- side capitalists. New mills are of weekly oceurrence. NEBRASKA. Brown's jewelry store at Beatrice has osed on a chattel mortgage held by father, Hiram Brown, of Ham- S, W. been ¢ Brown burg, la. Louis Peterson, a well-to-do farmer living near Saronville, committed suicide by shoot- ing himself. The hot, dry weather had at- tected his mind. Thirty men were released from active serv- ice by the Burlington railroad at McCook a few days ago. This reduction was caused by the slackness of business due to the drouth. James Duff, a. farmer living near Pawnee City, had his hand caught in the pulley of a hay derrick. It was so badly mashed that it bas found necessary to amputate two of tho fingers. E. J. Mitchell, editor of the Indiznola Courier, has turned his paper into-a populist organ. At the same time he announces that the change is due to the dry weather and a desire for better social and financlal con- ditions. The Courier is the oldest paper in Red Willow county, and has heretofore been republican. I W. Smith writes to The Bee from Fre- mont that he has found a bone in Bl creek, Saunders county, about 200 feet below the surface which he thinks is a bone from the leg of a mastodon. It measures forty-two inches in length, thirty-two inches at one end, twenty-six inches in the center and thirty inches at .the small end. The sheriff of Holt county captured a man named Fuller at Butte on a warrant charging him with disposing of mortgaged prope! The prisoner was placed in the char three guards for the night, and when the sherift went to take his man in the morning he found he had flown, having given the guards the slip during the dark- ness, The editor of the Tobias Tribune has found that it does not pay to take pigs in payment of subscriptions to his paper. He tried it last weelc and no sooner had he fixed up tho pigs securely in a pen and sat down to roll out editorials for the next issue of the Tribune than he was interrupted by the in- telligence that one of the two porkers had escaped and was roaming at large over the country. The pig was eventually recaptured at an expense of a quarter for boy hire and some valuable editorial time. In the David City Banner is explained a novel way Mr. E. S. Runyon hes found of hatching eggs. It Is another evidence of the old W that a hot Kansas wind never fails to blow some cne good. Mr. Runyon had a hen setting on the hay in his barn Toft near the roof and about ten days cgo she came off with a nice brood of chicks. During the time she was setting the other hens continued to lay in_the same nest, so that when she came off there were stiil some ten or twelve eggs left in the nest These Mr. Runyon neglected to throw away. On Tuesday while feeding his horse he heard a ch en peeping and on lcoking around soon found that one of the eggs left in the nest had hatched out, and on Wednesday he looked again and found that three more had bhatched out, aui the chickens were alive and spry as could b Mr. Runyon 13 positive thit there had been no hen cn the nest for at least ten days, but th the eggs hatehed from the heat of the roof. ‘This hot, dry weather may be death on ¢ NS, but it is just the thing to raise chickens with, THE DAKOTA Rainmakers at Yankton, 8.

Finally the 18 of the skull family of Miss Card gave her up for dead. Her sister, who lives In Deadwood, was mueh surprised and pleased the other day to receive a letter from the lady who had been given up for dead, stating that she was marrfed and living in St. Paul The work of making a topographical sur- voy of a portion of the James river valley is progressiug_rapidly, and is_being prosecuted by D. C. Harrimon and W. H. Grifin of Washington, under direction of the United States geological survey. The object of the work is to find whether or not the area xamined can be irrigated by artesian wells at reasonable expense. The working and_buginess population of the North Hill at Lead were made happy by the announcement that the Terra mine and mill would start up it enough men would sign an sgreement to work for wages suggested by a committes from their union, namely, $2.50 and $3 per day. This would employ nearly 200 men In the mine alone, and start cther mines that are idle now because they will not pay old wages. Many more than enough men to run the ming sald they would sign the scale. COLORADO. Twelve carlcads of wool were shipped from Fort Morgan over the Burlington William Roberts of Idaho Springs has opened up a rich gold prospect at the head of Spring gulch.

According to the La Plata Miner ore from the Century lode, Montezuma county, yielded tweny-two ounces_in gold and ounces six silver at the Durango sampling works. The Bessemer ditch and land adjoining, at Pucblo, to the amount of 17,000 acres, was sold under foreclosure in default of interest payment on $188,000 of first mortgage bonds. Water is to be flumed from t:.e Animas river, near Howardsville, to the Silver Lake mine, to supply motive power for the elec- tric plant which is estimated to cost $200 000, A very large and immensely rich body of silver ore has been struck in the Moss Rose mine near Gothic. A force of men are at work and a car of ora will be shipped in a few days.

He is down only eight feet, but the mica begins to separate from the quartz and becomes more firm as depth is reached. News from the Pinon Hill mine at Biedell is to the effcct that upon washing the dirt and refuse taken from the bottom of the shaft native silver in flat, band-like pieces is found in considerable quantity. Under a glass the dirt also shows many colors of free gold. An_ assay made on talc and quartz from the Storm King lode at Balfour, located in the granite southwest of camp, gave $30.80 in gold per ton. The vein filiing is about three feet and thel pay Is estimated from six inches to two feet. The strike has created a stir. It Is asserted by the Silver Plume Standard that the Pelican-Dives mine, near that town, has more ore in sight now than it had in 1870, when the noted litigation was at its helght. There is ore running in_all the levels, from two to four fect in width, that averages $200 to the ton. About 200 miners are employed. Monte Blivens, a stockman of North park, recently had an exclting experience with an fmmense bear known as “Old Josh," that had for some time done much damage to stock, and more than once attacked ranch- men and got away.

The report was current in Durango that Tom Catron of Santa Fe had sold 60,000 acres of that portion of the Tierra Amarilla grant lying in Archuleta county to an east- ern syndicate. The portion sold is sald to be rich in mineral, coal and coal ofl. The exact figures are not stated, but the Teport has it that the price is close to $1,000,000.

The Magnificont Waterfall in Labrader Fully Described. For many years vague reports of a great waterfall in Labrador near tne headwaters of the Grand river has led men to explore the intcrior plateau of that region, but no satisfactory account had been given of the appearance of the falls until the recent pub- lication of the results of an exploration undertaken by Henry G. Bryant of Philadel- phia. The object of this expedition, says the New York Evening Sun, was expressly to verify the reports as to the height and location of this natural wonder. On Septem- ber 2, last year, Mr. Bryant's party reached the ‘cataract. '“Standing at the rocky brink of the chasm,” he has written, s wild nml tumultuous scene lay before us, scene pos- sossing clements of sublimity and with' de: tails not to be apprehended in the first mo- ments of wondering contemplation. Far up stream one beheld the surging, fleccy waters nd tempestuous_ billows dashing high their crests of foam, forced onward toward the steep rock whence they took their leap into the pool below.” Conversation amid the roar and reverberations was impossible. It seems that a mile above the falls the river i a noble stream, 400 yards wide, already weeping along with accelerated velocity. he walls draw nearer to one another as three successive rapids are passed, down which the volume of water rushes, now gath- ering in great billows, till, with an arrowy flight, the whole vast volume shoots out into the air. The sheer fall Is 316 feet, at the head of which inclines a chute with a further verti- cal height of thirty-two saking the total descent from the head of the chute to the surface of the water in the chasm 348 feet. The Grand Falls are thus nearly twice as high as Niagara and are inferior to that cataract only In volume of water. In respect of its power to awaken human emotion, however, It may well be questioned whether the Grand Falls Is not the greater of the two. At least there can be little doubt that such is the caso where the Grand Falls are seen amid the wild nakedness of nature, as Ni- agura itself was seen by its earlior whito visitors. In approaching the scene Mr. Bry- ant's party were able to hear the roar at a distance of twenty miles. The' Bryant party set out for Rigolet, In Hamilton inlet, July 23, and, as we have seen, arrived at the falls after an arduous j not wholly free from perils, on September A sclentiflc question of some interest pre- sents itself in connection with the present aspect of the cataract. The appearance of the sides of the gorge below the falls and the zigzag line of the river suggest that the falls have receded from the edge of the plateau to their present position, a distance of twenty five miles. What length of time has been re quired for the process of cutting out this gorge? A similar question for Niagara has engaged the serious attention of competent observers. For the greater part of the dis tance channeled by Niagara the material has been a comparatively soft shale rock, sup- porting a stratum of limestone. The escarp- Falls is of gneissic rock. If its canon also has been cut out, conjecture is lost in the immensity of time that should have been required. i Karl's Clover Root will purify you blood, clear you complexion, regulate your bowels rn | and make your head clear as a bell, 26c, b0c and §1.00 B A Rupidly Moving Story.
