“ A strike of very rich ore is reported in the road level at the Stanley mine, says an Idaho 8prings special to the Denver Republican, where firifting has been carriad on for a dis- tance of 2,500 feet, The ore Lody s very rich in copper, lead gold and siiver and there is sald to be three foet of It, beside three feet of mill dirt. The values run into the hundreds of dollars to the ton, For some timo it has been known that the body of ore In this mine was very large, run- ning from five to elght feet wide, but very | tew people expected to hear of a strike 8o rich, although in the old workings a fow years ago the ore body under Clear Creek was running $2,000 to the ton and the ore on the north side of the creek was very high grade, On the south side the ground is com peratively new, and the present management D38 boen running a number of drifts into the mountaln. Work Is progressing on the first third, fifth, sixth and road levels, and t mineral has continued in all of these. How ever, the road level is the one which has cut a wonderful mineral body, but when the other levels reach the same distance there is little doubt but that the same ore chute will continup with depth, as has been shown by all its other ore bodies. It Is sald that there 18 enough ore blocked out for a ten-years re. serve, and the force is continuing to plle up the reserve Instead of stoping it out. Devel opment work is producing sufficient ore to keep the Salisbury mill continual y running, beslde the first-class ore shipped direct to the smelter. GOLD AT HELENA The rich discovery mado by Clarence Akin on the Western Union lode, at the head of Monitor gulch, says the Helena Independent has created something of a stampede to that vieinity. Mr. Akin had only attained a depth of three feet when he struck $300 ore in a seven-inch vein. John Brayman and Harry Tilton own the adjoining claim, the Little Nellle, to the south, and they have also struck the continuation of the rich vein that was discovered in the Western Union Some Helena men do not believe that gold has been discovered in this vicinity because of the fact that several mines have be worked six or seven years for silver, and they argue that these rich gold deposits could not have existed without such old timers as Mose Manuel, Luttrell and others knowing something about it. But it is averred, however, that the gold is a tangible fact, and that it is there in considerable quantities. A portion of the D. & K. and Midnight mines, owned by C. L. Darling, C. Akin and James Swan rises to the helght of 250 feet on the west side of the mountain. The entire mountain from top to bottom is cov- ered with slide rock composed of fire clay that assays from $2 to $20 In gold per ton. PUTOR BASIN DISCOVERY. Of all discoveries that have been made in that section none has caused 8o much excite ment as the findihg of the rich Putor basin, which has for several years been the ob jective point of many a prospector who has heard the tals of the great wealth there is to be found: there. The lucky finder is a trapper who has been in that section for the last three years prospecting and trapping and on his arrival here for a load of provi- sions, says a Kendrick, Idaho, special to the Spokane Spokesman-Review, he caused no lit- tle excitement with the news of his rich dis- covery. The news has spread like wildfire over the mining country and prospectors and miners are flocking that way in herds. The richness of the find is evident Yrom the fact that the dirt washes from 15 to 35 cents per pan, with sufficient water to carry on exten- sive mining operations. The basin, as usual, with its hidden treasures, which were only known to a few, car- ries with it some startling tales of the finding of skeletons and hideous slghts enough to make one’s blood run cold. J. 8. Vincent left here some two months ago, ha ing made an unsuccessful trip in search of the basin three years ago, carrying with him a map, showing the basin's location, given him by a miner on his deathbed in Lewls- ton about eight years ago, as a reward for his faithfulness in caring for him while sick. It s claimed this miner left every spring as soon as the trails were in passable condi- tion for this basin, and returned in a few months with sufficient wealth to maintain him in luxury until the next season, when hio again would make his annual trip to this source of wealth alone. News from this section Is anxiously looked for, as the trap- per states that Mr. Vincent Is at the basin, and believes that it is the Puter basin, as it agrees with his map and detalls, REINDEER IN ALASKA. Father Bainum of San Francisco, a of the Roman Catholic church, has Just_returned from the Upper Yukon, says the San Francisco Examiner, where for sev- eral years ho has been laboring for the salya- tion of the Exquimaux and less clvilized In- dians of the interior, with a_thermometer frequently falling to 85 degrees below zero. He has while seeking to save the souls of the Esquimaux, also been doing en- ergetic missionary work for the reindeer and preaching a gospel of extermination so far as Alaska dogs are concerned. These little mongrels have, by the grace of Arctic trav- elers and their illustrators, come to be re- garded as a part of every well-regulated Esquimaux family. So long as these dogs live, Father Bainum says, the reindeer can- not 'bo introduced, and all efforts in that di- rection must end only in failure and heavy expense to the government. The Esquimaux dogs are, according to the returned mis- slonary, a disgrace to the canine race, and, | all travelers' tales to the contrary, share few of the conspicuous virtues that make the dog man's best friend. They all have In them the wolf blood, he says, and wolves will | ever make deer their prey. Hence it is that | he has been doing his best to induce the Esquimaux to kill off their dogs. The rein- deer is a better friend, and there is nothing | to prevent its successful introduction so 8000 as the great Alaska country is rid of its | army ot mongrel dogs. NEBRASKA. Fullerton has purchased a new fire alarm bell weighing 1,280 pounds. C. H.

The owner threshed 642 ustiels from eighteen acres Water has been turned into the new far- mers and merchants ditch in Dawson county. The engincering was so well done that no ad- flitional work will be required. Hartington Herald is resp ment that Arnold Erichk unty farmer, threshed 1,080 bushels of oats rom a ten-acre piece of land Orin Moore of Rockport fell head first to | he bottom of a forty-foot well. The water was deep enough to prevent him from being killed by the fall and he was rescued all right. The Scribner creamery, which originally st $4,200, with two acres of land and a §700 residence, was sold at sheriff's sale the sther day, a creditor buying the entire prop- | rty for $1,000.

A young boy named Blair, while under the influence of a temporary fit of madness, as- saulted the telegraph operator at Stella and t a six-inch gash across his face and neck, | barely missing the jugular vein. The boy has been placed in the insane hospital at Lincoln. Furnas county Is breaking a good many records this year. Milo J. Whiteman, a farmer of that county, seeded a piece of land to rye in 1892. He had a fair crop in 1893 and in 1894 enough matured to seed the land without replanting. No attention was pald to it, as it was not thought worth cutting last vear. This last spring, however, It sprouted from the roots the third year, and it has just been harvested and threshed. It ylelded twelve bushels per acre. I0WA.

The com- pany is contracting with farmers for potatoes at 20 cents per bushel. A. D. Freeland of Onawa, S. D., has been granted the contract for furnishing Crow Creek and Lower Brule agencles with lumber and building material to the amount of $7,000. The Aberdeen Grain Palace directory held a meeting and fixed upon September 30 to October 5 as the dates of the annual exh'bi- tion. One important feature of the exposition this year is to be the stock show. The chief musical attraction will be the Chicago Marine band. W. H. Rhodes, in company with a party from Ellendale, N. D., started to make an overland trip for pleasure a short time ago. While on the way he was overcome by the heat and was brought back home. He lay for five days asleep, all efforts to arouse him be'ng futile. He awoke for a short time and went to sleep again, and the latest reports have him still in that condition. Dr. L. C. Smith of Battle Creek, Mich., has just secured a divorce at Yankton. The testimony developed the fact that shortly after their marriage his wife became converted to the Seventh Day Advent theory, and from the moment of her conversion proceeded to make life a burden to her husband by trying to convert him, even golng so far as to wake him up in the middle of the night to deliver him semons. In addition to this she was of a very jealous disposition. The two things coupled ‘were more than Smith could stand and he asked for a divorce, which was granted. COLORADO* Two assays from the Eva near Victor show $66.60 and $13.40 per ton respectively. Copper ore from the vicinlty of Fort Col- lins ylelds $12 per ton at the Argo smelter.

Over 100 tons of low grade ore running $40 are already on the dump. The Specimen mine in the Cripple Creck district is fast becoming one of the big pro- ducers, Some of the ore in the group shows fifteen ounces In gold to the ton The Deerhorn mine, one of Cripple Creek's early producers, is being developed by a force of ten men, All told ft has marketed $150,000 worth of ore, $25,000 of which was picked up on the surface. The work of sinking the big Independence shaft another 100 feet will increase the ma- chine drillers' wages from $4 to $4.50 per day. The increase was not demanded, but Mr. Stratton thought the work was worth It There has been discovered in cross-cutting from the bottom of the shaft in the Blue Jay, Cripple Creek, a six-inch streak of very rich ore. Assays made on some of the picked pleces gave values of $13,720 to the ton, The discoveries last year of high grade tellurium ores near the head ot Maggie gulch, seven miles above Silverton, caused much ex- citement, and a large amount of work has nce been done in this district. The veins are not large, running from s'x inches to but from them countless $2,400 per ton. One sample ran 1,760 ounces in silver and fifty ounces in gold per ton. In the early part of June a young man by the name of E. W. Hunter commenced 1 in Newlin gulch, about five When asked what he was trylng to do he answered that he was digging for gold. People lauglhed and passed on, thinking the young fellow had wheels. Several days ago he exposed a vein of min- eral, decomposed, and carrying falr quantities of free gold. The vein is increasing in thick ness with depth. The find has caused con- exc ment. The chief product of the county is coal, says the Walsenburg World, speaking of the resources of Hferfano county. It is estimated that we have here not less than 30,000 acres of coal land, with an average of 150,000 tons This seems big, but we are as- sured that the estimate is conservative. In a depth of 800 feet are found twenty-seven separate and distinct velns, varying in thick- ness from six inches to ten feet. Only the three upper ve'ns are worked. These have an average thickness of three, five and ten feet, the second being thirty feet below the first and the third forty feet below the second. WYOMING. An application for ditch rights on 30,000 acres of land along the Big Horn river is to the State Board of Control by an Omaha company. A blg strike was made by the Pennsyl- vania Mining company at Seminole. In a new shaft, which they were sinking, an elghteen-inch vein of free-milling gold ore was struck that runs upward of $500 per ton. After the water had been pumped from the shaft at the No. 1 coal shaft south of Lara- mie, a drill was sunk to a depth of twent five inches into the sccond vein, which has | been discovered and it was found to be pure | coal to the depth prospected. A fossil called Triceratabus was recently discovered by Prof. S. W. Williston of the Kansas university, about forty miles south of Lusk. The skull is seven feet long, five feet wide and three feet thick, and weighed 2,600 pounds when packed to ba shipped. Lander, Wyo., advices state that the rich- est gold find In the South Pass mining dis- trict has recently been made by the lessees of the Franklin mine. On a drift at sixty feet a rich vein was uncovered which sampled to $40,000. The veln is about six inches wide, One of the largest coal contracts that has been awarded this season is that landed by the Rock Springs Coal company (Union | Pacific), in which it undertakes to and will supply the Anaconda company with 1,000 tons a day. This means employment for ad- ditional men at Rock Springs, and a measure of thrift that has not been experienced by this enterprising little city for years. OREGON. Work will begin September 1 on the can- nery to be erected at New Astoria. Machinery has reached Philemath for new roller miil there, also for one at Alsea. Leavenworth boasts of a ‘ead of lettuce measuring two feet in dlameter and weighing six pounds. A McMinnville grocery store delivers goods by bicycle, as bulky an article as a sack of flour being handled. The Oregon Central & Eastern has reduced the wages of carpenters in the service of the company from $2.75 to $2.50, and helpers from 2,25 to $2. It is sald that between 110 and 120 teams unload straw_at the Lebanon paper milis every day. The mills pay 10 cents per 100 pounds, and will store some 3,500 tons. The latest bear story is from Wilderville. A large black bear came to the farm of James Grimes, when the men folks were away, and jumped into the pig pen and Killed two good sized fat hogs, welghing about 100 pounds each, one of which the bear carried away. Alma Davis of Harney found in the moun- tains north of that town a flint-lock rifle gun with the date “1823" on It. The stock was rotten and the barrel was bent. General sup- position 1s that it was the property of the lost emigrants who to'd of the Blue Bucket a | mines. Willlam Marders, says the Dalles Chronicle, has & pipe of quaint device, a present from Waukiakus, an Indian chief of the Klickitats.

Forest fires are sweeping the east side of the Olympic mountains, destroylng milllons of feet of fino timber. Along the north side of the straits and north of Hood canal the damage 18 the greatest. The farmers around Oakesdale are prepar- ing to make an organized fight against the Chinese thistle. They claim the weed is brought by threshers from Walla Walla and northern Oregon counties. The management of the Yakima fair, which is to occur October 7 to 12, is completing ar- rangements for what may be the last gather- ing of Indians In the northwest. It is claimed that over 4,000 Indlans will be present, headed by their most noted chiefs and accompanied by their best-trained horses, to join in the races, war dances and barbecues, It 1s claimed, and the statement Is corrob- orated by several persons, that there was a tree recently burned down three miles from Beaver which measured a trifle over sixty- four feet in eclrcumfersnce, or some twenty- one feet in diameter. This tree was measured fifteen feet from the ground. There is an- other one in the Bear creek valley which, however, 1s but fifteen and one-half feet in dlameter and probably 250 feet high. MISCELLANEOUS. Forest fires are now raging in the hills ad- jacent to Ukalah. The vision s obscured by dense clouds of smoke.

The grandfather (of ‘the British minister, Charles James Fox, Sir Stephen Fox, mar- ried in 1654, and hudia daughter born to him in 1655, who died 'in the course of the same year. Ho had several other children, who grew up and married, but all of them died before their father, and without issue. Sir Stephen, not wishing his large fortune to fall into the hands ofdistant relatives, married again at a very advanced age, and his young- est daughter was bora in 1727. She reached the age of 98 years and died in 1825, that is, 170 years after thedeath of her oldest sister. She saw Quecen Victoria when the latter was a child, while her haM-sister was carried in the arms of Oliver Cromwell. ik Don't you know thut Hood's Sarsaparilla will overcome that tired feeling and give you renewed vigor and vitality? ———— Swam Halfl a Mile Handeuffed.

PURSUERS FIND HIM SLIPPERY AS AN EEL‘ s Full of Dan General Who wht wit War 1 cidents. The carcer of Marquis Beauharnais before | and during the civil war matters of his- tory, says the San Francisco Examiner. He has been liviug in Paris and on his estates | near Orleans for many years and is now visit ing San Francisco for the first time. The quiet life the marquis is leading is much in contrast to his doings when the United States government placed a reward of $%0,000 on his head The noted ex-confederate and of gigantic size, standing six or more in height and welghing 0 pounds. His hair is somewhat gray and his large military moustache is almost white. He was wounded before Richmond and was then sent to Europe on a special embassy for the confederacy. He ran the blockade of harbor many times with cargoes of cotton, thereby obtaining needed money for the army ““One of my most remarkable experiences, said he, “was with a valuable cargo of cot ton which we had bought at 4 cents a pound and wanted to get to the Bahamas, We had | made three attempts to get out of the harbor | on as many nights, but could not succeed, for the union war vessels were swarming about. On the fourth night the federal war- ips did not come In so close a we got out, running the gauntlet of seventeen wa ships, The enemy found out we were going, but too late. I y fired thirty odd shots at us, but none hit Later, as we were passing one of the Bahama islands, Admiral Wilkes shot into us from his v ol three times. My leg, one arm, foot and ribs were broken by one of the shots. The cotton was, however, landed all right at Nassua, and for what we paid 4 cents a pound we got 62 “During a second attempt to reach the Bahamas from Charleston with cotton, Ad- | miral Wilkes was near the entrance to the harbor. I had $2,000,000 in confederate bonds | fn a tin box. 1 had good friends and they | e and my box off. I was put aboard n‘ oot sponge schooner and we sailed right across the Bahama banks for Cuba, reaching Havana the second night. “All this time my broken leg was in | boards. There was no doctor in Nassau. | Wilkes steamed right Into the harbor of Hevana after me. He shouted out, ‘Now 1| have got you, my boy,’ and I repliéd, ‘Come aboard and have breakfast. “He lowered a boat with twelve or fifteen men in it to cut me off when 1 went ashore in my boat. But Don Juan, manager of the Hotel Cubania, a good friend of mine, who had got an inkling of the admiral's inten- tion, informed the commandant, who rushel fifty soldlers down, charged upon Wilkes men, drove them back and rescued me. PURSUED BY DETECTIVES. 1863 the confederate government st me to France. 1 ran the blockade from Charleston, and in Havana found a great many northerners and detectiv One of th> Cunarder steamers, the Corsica, was to sail for New York, and 1 went on board in a covered boat, accompanied by a barber. In those I wore a heavy beard Th barber shaved my beard off, leaving nothi but the moustache, and then he took red cosmetic and rubbed my face, nose and fol head till I looked like a drinking mar was got up as a Cockney Englishman, ana I dropped all my h's in conversation. We praceeded on to New York. Near the en. trance to the harbor a small cruiser cam along and a detective got aboard to look for me. He asked the captaln it I was aboard, and he replied correctly that there was no- body of my name there. The captain was a brother Mason, and I had known him for a year or two. The detective had a hand- drawing of me. I never saw a better likeness “Disgnised as I was he did not " id me. I asked the captain to let me beside the detective at the table, and ve me his place. I had previously ar- ranged two bottles of claret, the one for | the detective being half whisky. An English lady, who was in the secret, sat on the other side’ of me. The detective began drinking, We dined a long time, and the drink had s effect. “We left | nobleman is feet “In the boat at 11 o'clock in New York, and I and the English lady went to | the Everett house, then the headquarters | of all English peopie. I got there Saturday, and from then until Wednesday, when I was to sail on the Cunard steamer Scotia for Europe, 1 kept driving all the time to the parks and various places. “The English lady hid most precious documents. The last evening I tound my trunk broken open and searched | and my clothing ripped. On Wednesday at o'clock, when I went abroad, two detect- ives tollowed me, one disguised as a Quaker- ess and the other as a horse doctor. I wanted to get as close to them as I could, and T went up and got a match to light my cigar from one of them. “I could hear them whispering. One sald: ‘He 1s too big.' I had made myself bigger by stuffing my clothes. Finally it came to a time when the pilot’s tug on which they were to return was to cast off, and just as they got aboard this vessel and were starting away [ went on deck and shouted out: “‘You were looking for Boauharnals, weren't you?' i Yess “Well, harnais.’ ' A SELF-MADE SOLDIER Some people say, remarks ex-Congressman Champ Clark of Missouri, that Stonewall Jackson was the one Puritan soldier of our civil war. They speak without knowledge, says the Portland Oregonlan. Stonewall was a Puritan indeed, worthy to bave charged with mighty Oliver at Naséby, Marston Moor and Dunbar, shouting, “God with us!" but so was Francis Marion Cockrell. He fought and prayed, and prayed and fought, and it re- mains to this day a mooted question whether he fought more than he prayed or prayed more than he fought. 1f Jackson was the su- perintendent of a Sunday school at Lexington, Va., Cockrell was engaged in the same way at Warrensburg, Mo. He started as a private in April, 1861; he surrendered as a major gen- eral during the very last days of the war. He was a volunteer without military train- ing, and that fact deprived him of any par- ticular favor in the confederate war depart- ment, where the delusion prevailed that no man could be a great soldier unless he had gradwated from West Point, which delusion seems to have prevailed also in the federal war office. Nevertheless, events appear to indicate that even with this handicap, had the war lasted four years longer General Cock- rell would have risen to the highest com- mand. General Cockrell, being a voluntee some original theories on war calculated to stun the typical martinets. For instance, afier the first battle in which he fought, green as he was in things martial, he would never permit an army engineer to select his line of battle for him. He said that as the duty of defending the line de- volved on him*he knew better than any en- gineer what was a defensible line and what was not. This may have seemed presump- tuous In a raw recruit, but his military his- tory furnishes his justification Another thing that he sticks to to this day, and which will give the souls of the professionals a rude shock, is that the most effective weapon with which Infantry can bo armed is a double-barreled shotgun. He claims that it will discount all the new- fargled rifles ever made. His logie runs as follows, and to a civilian appears abso- lutely convincing. One wounded man on the hallleflnhl is ever so much more trouble than so many dead men. The double-bar- reled shotgun is unequaled as a producer of wounded men, therefore it is the best thing to arm troops with. As a clincher he states that in a certain battle in which he was engaged when he was a colonel two com- parfes of his regiment were armed with double-barreled shotguns, the other elght with Enfield rifies, and that when the fight- ing was over there were more dead and wounded men in front of the (wo companies with sholguns than In front of the eight armed with rifles.

The following is an interesting extract from his letter “Thirty-two years ago General Sully passed through this country, his line of march being near the battlefield several miles north of Sheridan, where brave General Custer and his army of heroes fell in reclaiming this magnificent country from savage warriors entrenched in mountain fastnesses. It was in the beautiful month of June, 1876, nineteen years ago, that Custer and his men were overpowered, and out of his army but one man_ escaped to tell the story, “When General Sully passed over this same territory thirty-two years ago the writer was a member of his army.

In the course of his speech, which was replete with bombast from be- ginning to end, he Informed General Sully | that he and his army of braves could v\hlp‘ the pale faces, if they would only fight fair. He told of his own dseds of daring and of the scars that furrowed his manly breast, and how little he and his warriors cared for our “big knives” (sabers) (corbines), but he drew the line at Captain Jones' battery of Minnesota artiliery, for his lieutenant, Sitting Bull, at- tempted to play with us’ the same game he did with General Custer, and the result was that Captain Jones dropped some shells among them as they came up & canyon to our rear that literally tore them to pleces, ponies and warriors alike. This was their first point of contact with artillery, and the way Gray Eagle threw the venom of his savage nature into his language, look and gesticulations showed very plainly what he meant when he faid: “You did not fight me fair; you fired loaded wagon wheels at my braves.” “Shompogamy seechedo.
