A SAN MIGUEL STREAK RUNS 820 A POUND Alaskan Salmon Cateh Very Large—Taran. tulas Along Lake Creck in Wyom- ing — News Notes of t The great Pike's Peak is in bonanza now, fn bonanza as it never was before, In times past & rich scam in the porphyry of an inch or two inches, or thres Inches at the furthest, was a big thing, says a Cripple Creek special to the Denver Republican, but the vein in the second level is now widened to fully two and one-halt feet, and through this body there are streaks of ore that would assay fully 100 ounces of gold to the ton. The average of this enormous ore body has not yet been made, but something unprecedent may be expected It was the general months ago that the worked out. During closed down, practically had been employed th was free to say that there was not a car load of smelting ore left stending In the mines. Quite nat- opinion in camp two Pharmacist had been the strike, when every miner that urally, people believed this and it will be & surprise to everybody to know that 195 sacks of ore was sent from this property the other day that Manager Rowan be- Jleves will average at least $100 in geld to the sack. ©Of course Lhis was all closely selected, but outside of the sacked ore, about 100 tons of quartz of excellent grade was sent to the market. Unofficially, it is announced that no more ore will be hoisted from the Pharmacist for scme time, cwing to the differences between the owners. John Tompkins, L. Butler and O. Hanson a few days ago found a vacant piece of ground 80x160 feet in size east and a trifle south of the Longfellow claim, below Hull's camp, where a blg strike was made a few days ago, and frem which shipments are now being mnade. The boys at once located the ground, and from appearances the name they gave the clalm a few days ago Is far from appropriate—The Unfortunate. When the Republic represntative stopped at the hole today some fine loking quartz was being hoisted, and from appearances the ore was much better there than being mined in the Longfellow, of which the Unfortunate is an extensicn. Tompkins and partners felt col fident that they could put the hole down directly on tip «f their vein, but after going about thirty fect tion, they were comy and gaining solid found: led o drift, and start- ing north they found the lode ‘within ten fect, The veln matter is all finely crystal- lized and a little of it panned showed it to have value. Tliere {8 more excitement in mining circles over Gold hill than there has been for two years past. It will be remembered that this is the hill that had one of the first pro- ducers in the camp, the Lone Star property belonging to the original Anaconda consoli- dation. ~ Peachey and others who have a lease on the Lone Star No. 2 are now taking out ore that will pay well. The Gold King is boisting a litttla quartz that s spotted all over with gold. The hill is covered with prospectors and speci- men hunters are numerous. RICH STRIKE AT OPHIR. Not a week passes but what several retorts leave San Miguel county propertics for the Denver mint. They will be more numerous as the season advances, and two or three large gold producers now' idle are again worked to thefr normal capacity, says a Tel- luride special to the Denver News. The ex- tension of the San Muguel tramway to the mouth of the Hamburg tunncl Is about com- Dpleted, which will dispense with the expensive ore chutes heretofors used and enmable a much larger amount of ore to be delivered at the large mill. When the connections are all made a quantity of ore sufficient to keep seventy or eighty cf the 120 stamps steadily dropping will be taken from the mines daily. This will increase the gold output of San Miguel county at least one quarter over the present production. As has before been stated, from eight to ten feet of high grade gold_bearing quartz was recently encoun- tered In driving the Hamburg upraise, which insures profitable returns whenever (he ore Is treated, Mr. E. H. Teats has taken a lease on the Northern Ohio mine from the San Miguel Consolidated, and has a force of men at work developing. Assays have shown the quartz 0 carry from $15 to over $1,000 per ton in gold. The vein was cut throngh the crosscut and a rich strike was made, alth ugh the exact value cannot be ascertained yet. The Northern Ohio is one of the Champion group in Bear creck district, so the ore will be hauled over the bucket' tramway and treated at the 120-stamp mill. An_exceedingly rich strike was made on the Suffolk at Ophir a few days ago. While Tunning a winze ore was encountered which yuns $20 per pound. Bighteen tons of dirt taken from the winze and thrown on the Aump ran $300 per ton. This is not a pocket, but a large, continuous streak of high grade ore which multiplies the value of the mine. SAN JUAN'S SILVER There have been some marvelous dev op- ments of ore going on throughout San Juan county this year and for promising results the Silver Queen is no second in the race, says the Silverton Miner. This Drop- erty Is situated in Mastodon gulch and in the immediate vicinity of the famous Sunnyside Extension mine. The prop- erty was purchased by Messrs. Mar- tin and Smith of Kearney, Neb., in 1881, and while it was a mere prospect. Th enterprising and _energetic gentlemen have devoted Ltheir personal attention to the property every summer since and devel- opment made during these years has re- warded their efforts by disclosing to them a body of as fine ore as has ever been shipped from that locality. After the pur- chase of the Silver Queen other locations were made, the Alamaden, Ida B., Leslie D. and Maud S. wero located. In 1§82 patents were Issued upon the Silver Queen and Ala- maden; the others are still unpatented. The group cover an area 1,200 by 1,500 feet. The development is principally upon the Silver Queen, which is the leading claim, and con- stituting somoe 600 feet of opened ground. The upper level abounds in very rich ore running from 300 to 2,000 ounces in silver and from four to thirty-one ounces In gold. A stope has been started in this level, and over three cars of this grade of ore is now ready for shipment. From three shots placed in the croppings above the upper workings, over 1,000 sacks of ore were gath ered. The middle and lower levels are mot in 8o far as the upper one, nor 18 the ol #0 compact or high grade. Il averages sixty odd ounces in silver, and from five to eleven ounces In gold. The ore in these levels is the same in characier as that above, and it is expected that when they are extended further, the fabulous richness of the upper level will be encountered there. Six dif- ferent samples taken from stope now being opened In upper workings give assay re- turns as follows 12.5 ozs gold........ silver 4.4 ozs gold. . silver 2908 ozs gold.. e silver 4.8 ozs gold.. ...l silver 4.4 oz gold. . | silves 4.6 oz gold... w105 ozs ; silver Al levels are in good ore; there are twenty men at work, and Messrs. Smith and Martin, having sold out their business interests in the enst, intend giving the property their un- divided attention and to work a full force continually and Increase the output of the mine to its utmost capacity. AN INVASION OF TARANTULAS Lake creek is a candidate for prominence Just now, says the Saratoga Sun, owing to the fact that a number of tarantulas have been discovered in the houses on that stream. At the ranch of A. G. Bullock nineteen have been caught; at the home of Robert Grooms, Just above there, ten more have been found and at the ranch of John Mead, on a branch of that creek, seven more were discovered They are all 'sizes, from small ones the size of a half dollar, to big ones that would cover the palm of one's hand Word comes from the ranch of Willard Mead, on lower Pass creek, that they have been killing enormous “spiders” down there, and the inference is that the deadly found a foothold there. In- deed, 03 quite probable that they may be numerous on both Pass and Lake creeks. JHow they found their way to that locality o ts mere conjectura—probably a supply of eggs hae been transported from New Mexico, Ari- cona, or some other country in a pack, or wome vehicle. The pesple of Lake creck are just now quite wide awake and on the lookout contin- ually for the deadly reptile, and they will be exterminated it possible. WHEN PIGS BEGIN TO FLY. There Is a hog ranch northeast of Wood- land park which has been the scene of a peculiar fucident within the past two weeks, says the Fremont (Wash.) Review. The ranch & situated near the s of Green lake; tall fir trees, some of the mightlest monarchs of the forest, surronnd it, and it is a quiet, restful place, no noise to disturb one, except the gentle grunt of the pig or an occasional squeal from the same source. About a month ago the proprietor began to miss his pigs. An_investigation was made, but without avail, and still the pigs disappeared. At last, one day, two weeks ago one of the boys on the ranch saw what looked like a large bird fluttering over one of the pig pens. Suddenly it swooped down on a large fat porker, but this time piggy was not doomed to dle, for the alarm had been given and the bird of prey was shot from ambush and killed. It was found to be a golden eagle, and had feasted on about thirty pIgs at the expense of the proprietor. GOLD IN MONTANA. Parties from Rock creek report is considerable excitement over some discoveries made in that section, Missoula special to the San Francisco aminer. Rock creek comes into the soula river about twenty miles east of Helena. Bonita is the nearest station, on Northern Pacific, The country has known to contain gold for many years. Welcome gulch, one on the tributaries of Rook creek, was worked extensively during the early days of placer mining in Montana, but never classed as one of the rich gulches, Welcome was worked for a number of years by Chinamen and white men have mined in it more or lesy continuously of recent years with only moderate success. The new discovery that has attracted at- tention recently to the district was made by two Swedes not famillar with mining. The ore Is sald to assay from $800 to $1.000 in gold and some very handsome specimens of gold quartz have been exhibited as coming from it. Philipsburg parties have obtained a bond on the property for $20,000, paying $1,600 down. They are working about twenty men. A number of prospectors from Philips- burg and other parts have rushed in and there are about 200 men in the camp. They are coming in at the rate of fifteen or twenty a day. A large number of locations have been made, some of which are said to be good prospects, The present indications are that there will be a big rush into the camp this fall. SALMON INDUSTRY GOOD. The bark Harvester, which has arrived from Karluk, brought (he latest news of the Aluska salmon run, says a San Francisco special 1o the Denver Times-Sun, and con- sidering the lateness cf the season this year, the returns are very good for the combine. Last year the catch resulied in about 600,000 cases and this year's run will amount Lo very near the same. The return, it Is said, wiil lave the efect of making the market stable it there is no heavy demand trom England. In the latter event the price of salmon will advance according to the demand. “The English market,”” said a gentleman who Is thoroughly posted cn the situation “bought very sparing of us last year, on count of the largeness of the British catch, but this year several English buyers have placed heavy orders on the market. recent Bx- been From reports received from Alaska the run has been light in some places, but has up well at other points. In south- western Alaska there has been a shortage, but this is vot of so much cousequence as the greater portion of the output there is the pink or cheap variety of salmon. At Karluk, 1 understand, the catch has been very good. The winter there extended very little into the spring months, so that the season was a short one. The loss of time was made up, however, by excess of work, and the canneries wer® run at their full capacity. The run has ceassd and the season has closed. “Nearly 600,000 cases have been put up by the canneries of the combine. Nearly all this lot has been placed and not a little of is is already out of second hands. The market this year opened at 95 cents a dozen, which was 5 cents below last year's opening price. This was a month ago, and it was only a short time before the price advanced to 97% cents and finally at $1. “Qutside the combine there are several independent canneries being run, among them being those of the Pacific Steam Whaling company, Wheaton, Breon & Co., James Madison and others. Their full catch ls not known yet, but there is mo doubt that it has been fairly successful. It will prob- ably amount in all to 100,000 cases. Some of this, nearly all, in fact, has been placed. The British Columbia catch has not been up to the average this year, and is at least 25 per cent off. This fact makes the out- Jook for Alaska salmon much brighter, as {he possibilities are greatly increased for considerable more of it finding its way to the Guglish market. A WONDERFUL LAKE. A camping party of Salem men is just home from the Klamath country, says the Portland Oregonian. They are very en- thusiastic regarding the scenery, and chal- lenge any place beneath the sun to produce more grandeur to the sight than the rugegd lands of that section. The Klamath reserva- tion s a fine reglon and is inhabited by a hearty race of Indians. Mr. Patterson says an Indian that weighed 275 pounds, who had curly hair and a number of other singular characteristics, was noticed. This is hardly what could bé classified as a phenomenon, as @ negro barber lived only a short distance away in an adjoining town. But the grandest sight, say the hunters, was Crater lake. This is a body of water 444x6% miles in dimensions, having no apparent outlet. Not a fish of any kind inhabits the waters. Two efforts were made t0 plant the lake with trout, but it seems that they have no means of living and die off in a short tim While the party was at the lake they en- countered a surveylng outfit, who were mak- ing a geodetic survey, and their figures showed that the lowest Dluff on the lake was 0 feet from the top to the level of the water. 1t was found that the deptb of the water was 1,996 to 2,000 feet, clear as French plate glass, The country is broken, grazing §00d and stock raising is a paying business NEBRASKA.

On a tract of acres, at Huron, land, less than Al Cram will twenty-five arvest more than 30,000 heads of cabbage and 10,000 watermelons, to say nothing of an Immense crop of potatoes. The tract was irrigated with water taken from the Jauies river by means of a water wheel In the Black Hills wheat snows a yield of thirty bushels per acre, and oats fifty to sixty bushels, with a very good potato crop. In.that region all crops are good in Lawrence and Meade counties, and portions of Pen- nington. The other counties have suffered more or less from the general drouth. In view of the extensive forest fires in Michigan and Wisconsin, every precaution is being used (o prevent similiar fires in the Black Hills, Government Timber Agent Fay, stationed nt Rapid City, has made arrange- ments with the telephone company to notify him promptly of any timber fires that may occur either day or night, and steps will im- mediately be taken to put them out Matters in connection with the state fair and grain palace at Aberdeen are moving along in an excellent manner. The state fair buildings are being put in first class shape and the race track is said by horsemen to be in excellent condition. Several fine strings of horses are already entered and there is every indication that the speed program will be a drawing card. Work on the grain palace decorations is progressing rapidly, a large force being continually employed. Farmers of North Dakota are indignant at persistent attempts to misrepresent the wheat yleld. Sworn official returns from fiity towns in Cass county show a decrease in the acreage of about 10 per cent and in many of the countles It is greater, for the reason that farmers are summer fallowing, raising and otherwise diyersifying. In six Red river valley counties producing the bulk of wheat, the crop is spotted. In a few instances there is a large yield, that is, from fifteen to thirty bushels, but in most cases it is ten to fifteen, in many six to ten and in some an entire fallure. The best judges estimate the failure at about § per cent in those counties, while in the western half of the state there is less than one-third of a crop. WYOMIN The North Park country Is to be pected for placer gold by Denver parties The fall shipments of sheep to market from the western part cf the state have begun. Fifty-six double-decked cars were sent that way already to be loaded for market. The other day a Mexican residing in Sweet- water county rode eighty miles in six and a half hours in order to secure the services of a physician for a sick woman. He used three horses in making the ride ‘Wheatland is a new agricultural settlement. The crops there this year are very fine and the shipment of prodice from there this fall will be very large. Fully 100 carloads of potatoes and 30,000 buslels of oats will be among the shipments. It is estimated that there are in Sheridan county 500,000 acres of land susceptible of irrigation. From the latest reliable statis- tics at hand there are now over 300,000 acres under ditch, 50,000 of which, the county clerk estimates, are under cultivation.

The Palsgrove brothers, who have been working on a promising lead near the half way house on the cog road at Colorado Springs have struck the vein A test assay was made and returned thirty ounces in gold, or nearly $600 per ton. The South Boulder placers are again in working order, the damage done by the June flood having been fully repaired. The com- pany is issuing two giants, and has thirty men on its pay rolls. It expects a heavy cleanup toward the end of the season, as the gravel is fairly rich. A novel scheme in the irrigation resources Is being discussed at Florence, A diteh will be dug in the cold region of the mountains which will fill with water and freeze during the winter and thaw in the spring, affording an abundance of water for irrigation pur- poses.

The Pickernell donation land claim included, al- though contrary to law, a portion of a nav- igable and at present meandered stream. This claim has passed through several hands, and, on the case being recently submitted to the attorney general by the commission- ers, he decided that the present owners of the claim actually owned a portion of the navigable Wallicut river. _ Harvest in the Walla Walla valey is now in full blast, and the grain .is turning out fully as well as was anticipated. Along the foothills the yield is averaging about thirty- five bushels per acre, and grain being of better quality than has been produced in the valley for years. On Eureka flat the yleld has been good and the grain of excep- tionally fine quality. Reports from all sec- tions of the valley are flattering and it Is estimated that the average yield will be at least thirty bushels per acre. Tom Gilmore tells the Dalias Chronicle the grasshoppers have taken the country ss the Columbia. In the foothills the leaves ‘have all been eaten off the oak trees and the corn has been stripped until nothing but the bare stalks remain. The hazel bushes have been robbed of their foliage. The only things not eaten are the bushes and the nuts, the latter of which have had their husks eaten and only the hardness of the shell saved them. It is fortunated that they came too late to damage the grain crops. This of N. nsburg is they MISCELLANEOUS.
