e =N sum of Indians of Nez large Perces “The payment money to the commenced the other day, says Mr John 8. Beall, who had just been In Lewlston, In an interview published in the Portland Oregonlan, “and $50,000 was pald out the first day. Since then the payments have continued at the rate of $90,000 a day, which will be kept up until the whole sum of over $1,500,000 18 paid over to the Indians. The latter rocolve thelr checks from the agent at the reservation, which is some ten miles from Lewiston. The Lewlston banks cash the ehecks, all In gold, charging the Indlans 50 cents a hundred, which covers the cost of hav- Ing had the big sum transported, and leaves them some profit. The Indians w.ll tak: moth. 1ng but gold, They can't count greenbacks, and silver, even In dollar pleces, presents difficulties to most of them. “I saw an Incident at one of the banks that was somewhat amusing. An Indian had left his squaw outside whilo he entered and drew about $1,000 or so. Half of this money he fmmediately deposited, the rest he put in his pocket, excopt a $5 plece, which he had chunged to five silver dollars. These he brought out and gave to the squaw, with a grunt which doubtless signified that it was all the money she was going to get out of this snap. “One thing may be s1id which is decidedly to the crodit of the Indians. They are paying all their debts. even those extending away back a dozen years or more, “A Yakima firm--Coffin Bros.,, who have had a great deal of experience with the Tndi- ans—went to Lewlston with a big tent and an enormous stock of the most brilliantly col- ored blankets fmaginable. The Indians like the tent idea, and the absence of counters, with the stock thrown around conveniently, pleases them. A man with a merry-go-round set up his attraction next door to Coffin Bros., and the latter with ready enterprise bought him out. Well, every Indian that purchases anything from Coffin Bros. gets a ticket en- titling him to a free ride on the merry-go- round. Bucks, squaws and papooses take the wildest delight in the amusement, and it would make a horse laugh to note the ex- pressions of Walf-fright, half-joy, on their faces as they mount the hobby horses, and the motion commences to the alleged music of a'wheezy old haud organ. They never seem to tire of the amusement., “I strolled into the cheap little variety theater of Lewliston one evening, where drinks are dispensed by Hebes with very red artificlal roses in their cheeks. The place was crowded with bucks, who were paying $5 or #o each for the privilege of treating the handmaidens to a bottle of ginger pop, sar- saparilla and Iron, or similar mild drinks. The law against seliing Intoxicating liquors to Indians is very stringent, and so far as could see, was rigidly observed at Lewiston. BOLD ORE THEFTS. For some time past there have been numer- ous attempts made at stealing ore in the Agua Caliente district, says a dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle. In some instances they have been successful, but the quantities were small and no vigorous efforts were made to catch the thieves, but news has reached us that A. B, Cline had been arrested in Daggett, ninety miles east of San Bernardino, for steal- ing nineteen sacks of ore, valued at from $3,000 to $4,000, from the Amalie mine. Cline is an assumed name, and he has been one of the trusted miners working in rich quarters of the Amalie lode, and has always been known as Frank Dean. It is thought he stole the ore at intervals, and it is considered that the richest ore of the mine has been stored away by him where he could got away with it. Two weeks ago Dean got a leave of absence from the owners of the Amalie company to be away two months on a trip to Goider, presumably to look after some of his prop- erty there. He went to Bakersfleld and bought a two- horse outfit and returned to Caliente, saying he was on his way to Golder and the desert. The next morning he appeared halt way from Amalie mine with a broken-down wagon wheel, which had ben wrecked by the heavy load he was attempting to get out of the country with. He sold his team and wagon and employed the Hart brothers to haul the test ore, as he called it, to Bealville, where it was directed to be shipped to Mojave and there reshipped to Kingman, Ariz. This is the second attempt at ore stealing in the Agua Caliente district, Dean's ex- posure, it is thought, will lead to the dis- covery of other thefts of ore in the same dis- triet. TO MANUFACTURE ASBESTOS. Articles of incorporation of the Omaha As- bestos Mining and Manufacturing company have been filed with County Clerk O'Malley, says the Casper Derrick. The incorporators are Willlam Butt and Christ Bayrel of Omaha, and Alex T. Butler of Casper. The incorporators, among other things, declare it the object of their colpany to buy, locate, Jease and operate asbestos bearing ore mines, and to buy and sell asbestos ore and erect mills for the manufacture of same. The capital stock of the company s $100,- 000, of $10 shares, fully paid up and nonas- sossable. The new company’s principal bus- {ness will be at Casper, with offices in Omaha, and it 1s to commence operations when 1,000 shares are subscribed. The company owns rich asbestos mines on Casper mountain di- rectly adjacent to Casper, and its success seems to be assured. Such an enterprise can bo no other than a triumphant success, as all know who are acquainted with Casper's as- bestos and the incorporators of the company. ‘The great west has long felt the need of asbestos mills, as there are no asbestos man- ufactorles now west of Toledo, O., and it +1s the puipose of this company at no dis- tant day to mine their asbestos from their mines on Casper mountain and transport it to Omaha and manufacture. GOLD IN GLACIER SANDS. A private letter recelved here, says a Port- land dispatch to the San Francisco Call, an- nounces the fact that the wonderfully rich black sands of the Yakitat glacier, on the Alaskan coast, are at last being successtully worked, the company, however, jealously guarding the secret of its process. The ar- rival of the two miners from Yakitat, Smith and Campbell, at Juneaw, with 180 ounces of * dust the resul: of thirty-four days' work, has caused excitement, and a number of miners were outfitting for the Yakitat sands. The person recelving the letter was in former years a resident of Alaska, and has visited the Yakitat bay. He say: “The Tllahee of the Yakitat Indians com- mences about 110 miles north of Cape Spencer, and stretches away toward the Arc- tic ecirclo clear to Copper river. The trip from Juneau to Yakitat is one involving great peril, the coast after rounding Cape Spencer being a continuous line of beetling fron-bound cliffs, reaching precipitously up and down into deep water without a sign of beach on which to make a landing, while to the west stretches the Pacific. There are two indentions in the coast bstween Cape Spencer and Yakitat known as Freshwater and Frenchman's bay, but without Indian canoemen it is almost certain death for white men to attempt an entrance into the coves, ed reefs and swirling eddies abounding. “Yakitat, the Indlan village, within a mile of which the first of the black sand deposit 1s found, Is situated at the head of & fairly sheltered harbor, into which empties 4 turbulent glactal stream called the Yakitat iver, although it Is next to unnavigable. On the north bank of the stream and filling ~ & deep canyon is the glacier, from beneath which comes the gold bearing sand. “If it is true—and it seems so—that its 1d can be saved, there are millions of its etal for every one seeking It there.” AN ANCIENT HIGHWAY. A huntsman, who has been gunning in the territory lying south of Sweetwater dam and along the north slopes of San Miguel mountain, comes back with a story of more than usual interest, says a San Diego special to the San Francisco Examiner. While there he came across Heman C. Cooke, who has a geological, If not a real mining inclination, and another man. They are at work on what has already proved to be something of a surprise, and which may eventually prove to by very large sized sensation. 1t appears that in some way Cooke learned that an anclent road had been discovered leading from the river level on .he north side to a point near the summit ef San Miguel. He decided to investiga but chiefly for entertainment at fire He took @ pick and shovel, established a camp and make & thorough job of it. As ed his Interest Increased, for he oon discovered that below the shifting sur- face of the mountain side and under the lebris of vegetation a solid roadbed, well défined and thoroughly buflt, existed. In places were large trees, Indicating its greac age. This road was -followed well up into the mountains, and on the way several byanch roads, leading off to different spurs, were easily traced. All along these roads in places Cooke found pieces of broken rock which have given what he belleves ia the clew to the construction of the road. He has some specimens crushed which assayed well in gold and sflver. This was nlso supported by the fact that several implements of manifestly ancient make have been found, which are believed to be mining tools. Cooke thinks he has traced the road to the end, and at that point has found a mound which he believes is the dump from a shaft or tonnel, and his pres- ent work 1s to find the opening which will lead to the mine. He helieves its discovery fs not far distant, as he has narrowed it down to a possible space of about 200 feet square, The conclusion fs that this is an ancient and rich mine, or the road would not Lave been made. The discoveries are said to be more interesting to Cooke because more than once he has dreamed of discovering a moun- tain of gold and silver, with tools all at hand for taking out the metal. LIFE IN ALASKA. ““Alaska is all right in a way, but it lsn't the right kind of a way to suit me,” said a re- turned gold-seeker in an interview published in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. “For a man who doesn't know how to do anything else but use a pick and shovel, and whose am- bition doesn't reach further than getting a a grub stake, the Yukon is all right. A man can make $4 or §5 a day right along on the creeks with a pan. But what can you do with it? It costs too much to live; there's noth- ing in it. On our trip up it took us seventy days to make the trip from St. Michael's to Forty-Mile post. We carried our supplies on sleds, and slept wherever and whenever over- taken by night. We crossed the lakes on the fceand waded through the snows of the passes, We never had any trouble about sleep- ing, however. We would cut some boughs, lay them on the snow, spread our blankets on them, and sleep ‘would weigh our eyelids down and steep our senses In sweet forget- fulness' as soon as our tired bodies touched the blankets. “There will be hundreds of disappointed people coming down from the Yukon from now on. If any one is making any money up there, I didn’t see him. I am glad to hove had the experience—but five months in Alaska fs my NEBRASKA.

September 10-1 A phenomenally rich strike is reported to have been made recently on the Keystone mine. It as reported, the ore encountered i as rich as the richest found in th: Holy Ter- roz. According to Congressman J. A. Pickler of South Dakota, the prospect for a large num- ber of new arteslan wells in this state is en couraging. He states that in his travels he finds the farmers themselves are arranging to sink wells. Fargo's city council has decided to experi- ment with tamarack pavement, laying two blocks in that wood instead of cedar. Tam- arack can be laid down at Fargo for one- third the cost of cedar and if it can ba suc- cessfully usad will revolutionize paving in small towns in the northwest. Paving ex- perts express the opinion that the wood s more durzble and will last longer than cedar. Every train on the entire system of the Forest City & Sioux City rallroad between Gettysburg and Forest City has been pulled oft and elevators along the line have stopped buying grain.

The main barn on the Berriedale farm, five miles northeast of Lakota, N. D., was burned by a viclous horse kicking a lantern from the hand of one of the men. The loss is $10,000, partially Insured. Thirty-five head of horses, besides a number of blooded cat- tla and seventy-five tons of hay, were de- stroyed. The Berriedale farm is owned by J. 8. Sinclair (the earl of Caithness), and is Without doubt the best. equipped farm in North Dakota. The earl was severely burned in his efforts to save a valuable stallion. COLORADO. A new strike is reported on the Golden Islet, in the Pitkin district. A large body of fine gold ore has been uncovered. The Tomboy Gold Mines company has 362 ounces of gold bullion, the result of two days' run, ready for shipment to the mint, says the Telluride Journal. Ball Bros. have struck it in their lecase on the Lawrence townsite, Crippie Creek district. At a depth of twenty fect a good sized streak of mineral, which assays from three to six ounces was found. ‘The Clar| tunnel is in 100 feet and bas encountered two paying lodes—one running $15 in gold, some silver, the other lLuving four feet of stuff that averages $8 gold per ton, or about three ounces to the cord, seys the' Idaho Springs Gazette. A letter from Fulford camp ‘o the Glen- wood Springs Avalanche, says: Hanlon struck eight inches of quartz ore that is worth $1,000 per ton. One half-inch streak is worth 50 cents per pennyweight. It s in a shaft seventeen feet deep. The People’s Mining and Milling com- pany, owning the Bogart lode at Cripple Creek, will soon have its plant of machinery in place and commence holsting the rich ore blocked out at the bottom of tha 100-foot shaft. The ore runs $260 per ton cn the average, and there is nearly three feet or this rich vein now exposed. Encouraging reports are coming from New- lin camp goid flelds, via Parker. A very rich strike was made in the Emma mine, owned by Mr. Otto Ruttkamp. The vein is five feet in thickness and carries about $45 to the ton. The Muldoon is rapidly forcing ahead one of the largest producers in vicinity. The pannings 50 per cent richer than they were ten days ago, and if the present yield continues they will be worth $1 each. WYOMING.

The report s that two young men who are prospecting on Quartz creck, In the vicinity of the old Perkins & Miller placers, following up some rich float, discovered a lead about a foot wide of very rich quartz. This widened out to three feet at a depth of six or seven feet, the rock running $1,500 in gold The new find fs sald to be within six feet of an old prospect hole. The first batch of pure ol soap was turned out by the Wyoming Ofl Soap and Manufac- turing company at its new factory in Casper. 1t is a laundry soap made from the natural products of central Wyoming, and contains Salt creek ofl, (bleactied) soda, amole and saponite. The process of making this soap from Wyoming's natural products without the use of acids or other injurious ingredients was discovercd by the manager of the com- pany, Mr. C. R. Smith, after six months' ex- perimenting, and that his soaps are superior to the rosin and inferior goods now palmed off on the credulous public was verified by repeated experiments before the company erected its factories. OREGON. A Klamath Falls man recently found a 3-months-old bear cub in his cow yard, and although unarmed, captured the animal, It has sincs become quite tame. One of the prominent features of the Eastern Oregon falr to be held at Baker City on September 23 will be a mining ex- hibit from all the mines tributary to Baker City. Good luck seems to have overtaken Irving Burgh of Corvallis. She has heard of the death of a bachelor uncle in New Mexico, who leaves her family $100,000, a £ood share of which she will get. The site for the cannery at the mouth of the Siletz has been located and the machinery bought, and the latter will be taken in a* an early date. The plant will be a large one, having a capacity of about 600 cases daily, The Blue mountains of snow, for the first Dr. Willlam Welch, who has just returned to Silverton from the , says the beach is staked off with mining claims for a dis- tance of twenty-five miles.

The Harrington Leader says that Harring- ton is soon to have a flour mill of 150 barrels capac'ty. Capitalists of Spokane, Davenport and 1 igton are the promoters of the enterprise. They were offered a bonus of 10,000 bushels of wheat to build the mill. Arrangements are being made at Spokane to have a gathering of mining men in that city upon the occasion of the fruit fair for the purpose of organizing a northwest min- ing association. Delegates are expected to be in attendance from Utah, Nevada, Ore- gon, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Brit- ish Columbia. Six new asbestos claims have been located in Skagit county in last month.

The pine timber east of Garfield, from Deep creek on for an unknown distance, has been attacked by a white butterfly, the progeny of which is eating the nesdles and killing the trees. How large a part of the timber will be lost through the attacks of the insects cannot yet be estimated, but the people in that section fear it will be large. The tim- ber in the vicinity of Rockford was attacked by the same pest in 1884 and a large por- tion of the best trees were killed. A seven-foot vein of tin ore has been dis- covered in the Cascade mountains in the southwestern part of this state, near Mount St. Helens. Samples of the ore have been sent to the Watertown arsenal in Massachu- setts for analysis. It is reported by Captain J. D. Hadley of Tacoma, a prospector who made the discovery, that it 1s lmpoasible to determine how deep the ledge goes into the mountain side, but he.and his friends are en- thusiastic and beligva they bave located tin enough to supply the cauntry for years. MISCEILAANEOUS, An_orchard near Redlands, Cal, has pro- duced an apple welghing twenty-two ounces. Arizona is loomMmgsup as a honey pro- Queing territory.

Bolse valley in Idaho has the distinction of producing a Mew species of fruit this year It is called prunis simonia. The new fruit is not unlike a tomato in shape, and grows almost as large. In some respects this queerly-named production is like a plum, but it has a flavor distinctly its own. John Kennedy and Henry Nolan, who were tramping through the Mogollon moun tains, about forty miles south of Williams N. M., were set upon ten days ago by a ferocious grizzly bear.

In the present day of sharp competitior and quick changes of fashion manufacturers must be up with the times or a little ahead of them. It is the new thing that takes Manufacturers know also. that a good, cheap imita n of an expensive article will sel well. In the flint glass Industry, says the Chi- cago Record, molds of new and improved gns are in constant demand. The factory the newest and most attractive pat s has the best chance in the market. Large sums are spent each year in getting out new forms, a single table set often cost- ing from $2,000 to $4,000. W a new article is to be produced the designer’'s art is first brought into piay. A sketch is made, giving the pattern in the rough. Then a complets working drawing upon paper, or a model, carved from wood cf made of piaster of paris of the exact forn and design of the desired article, is pre pared. It is necessary, in most cases, t make this model, for while beauty and gow form are highly important, they are not th only requisites in a design. Many beautiful patterns could be made which would be utterly impracticable in the shop, the figures on the surface being of such a shape that the glass would not leave tho mold when once pressed into it. Thi might be overlooked in a paper drawing and sets of molds have heen made which were found worthless when tried. The experienced moldmaker or factory superintendent can tell on looking over the wood or plaster model whether a mold made by it will “work.” When the dex~n is finished it goes to the patternmaker, who prepares the patterns of wood or plster of paris for the iron casting from wich the mold is made.~ This pattern is for the plain rough iron casting, from which the figure will be worked fater; none of the design or relief work of the article belng cast in the mold. A drinking glass Is to be made, having an imitation cut glass surface; the pattern for the casting is simply two half-cylinders ho! lowed out, so that when set together they enclose a cylindrical space slightly smaller than the glass to be made. Tron cast in the ordinary way would not serve for a'glass mold. Cooling slowly in sand allows large crystals to form In the iron, leaving it porous and coarse-grained How the by This would not allow of the smooth, highly ed surface ‘required. To remedy this the surface which is tc contain the design is cast against a plece ot iron of the proper form, which is set in the sand mold. This iron, being a good con ductor, cools the metal in contact with it leaving it hard and close This process 1s known as “chill- i 1 all surfaces designed for contact with glass are ‘“‘chilled.” The rough castings are sent to the mold- maker. This man must be a thorough ma chinist, ready for any kind of hand and ma- chine-tool work, for the castings come in a multiplicity of forms. 1f the article is very large and elaborately figured the mold must have more than two sections, large berry dishes and punch bowls Tequiring as many as six. In spite of careful work, wherever theze sections meet a little seam s formed. This, to make the work look its best, must be either disguised or entirely dispensed with. In figures having a sharp angular design the disguising is easy, allowlng the sections to join upon a sharp angle of the figure. If the Surface is comparatively smooth, however, this is impossible, and many schemes are resorted to for removing this seam. Ordinary drinking glasses are molded in a one-piece shell—that is, with no joint—and removed by turning the nold upside down and striking sharply on the bottom. To_drop out easily, such an articl> must be much larger at the mouth than at the base, and must be reheated when taken from the mold and rubbed into proper shape with a pieco of wood. With stem ware another modification fs used. The stem glass consists of three parts —bowl, stem and base. The ‘mold for such an article consists of two pieces—a “‘one-piece” flask for the bowl and a two-section mold for the stem and baso. The bowl flask is placed on the stem mold, fitting it nicely, making w complete gobict or stem-glass form. The base, instead of being molded into the flat disk, as it is in (h finished ware, is made in the form of a hollow cone, like the bottom of an ¢gg cup. After the glass has been pressed into the mold the lower stem part is opened, the upper flask lifted out, turned upside down and the goblet dropped out. The cone-shaped bottom is then reheated and flattened by rubbing with a plece of wood. The stem it- self may be made hexagonal and the seam allowed to fall. Many other ingenious schemes similar to this are used. The iuventor's skill is con- stantly in demand in devising improved mould forms, The mold, alter belng used for a time, coats with a thin film of oxide or rust, which must be removed to prevent sticking and causing roughness of the glass. This is removed by rubbing with oil and a plece of wood sharpened to dip into the figure, In an elaborately designed article this requires a great deal of time. Contiuual polishing and cleaning wears the mold until it becomes useless. Some glass manufacturers have mold shops In_ their factory, while others buy from outside makers. Disappearing Gun Carrlage. A unique invention, perfected by Captain William Crozier of Sandy Hook and Colonel Buffington of the Rock Island arsenal, has re- cently been tested at the Watertown arsenal, says ‘the Chicago Tribune. It is a disappear- ing gun carriage, mounted. The carriage, which Is built for an S-inch gun, welgis when mounted about sixty-four tons and can be easily ti4versed or elevated In any desired position. The idea of the carriage is to pro- tect the gun and the men from the enemy. The gun is loaded and sighted from behind its parapet and is exposed to the fire of the enemy but a few seconds when being fired. A charge of 130 pounds of powder is needed for the 8-inch gun and a projectile weighing 300 pounds, will be used. Boston Harbor is to be equipped with this style of carriages, and it is estimated that fifty will be nec- essary. They are also to be placed at Port- land, Me., New York, Potomac river below Washington, Fortress Monroe and Fort Wads- worth. When this system of disappearing gun carriages Is put into the forts ironclads of a hostie fleet will probably keep their distayce. | man, and, other things belng equal, an elo- e ] fobfin_d the time required to clean your house with Pearline, take the time required to clean it two.

Nevertheless what Washington lacked in fluency he doubtiess made up in emphasis, for there is no doubt that when In circum. stances sceming to him to require sulphur- ous explotives he could freezs the blood of his listeners. The memory of the oaths he swore at the flecing Continentals on Mon- mouth field will live as long in history as any serious exploit of their author. It must mot be forgotten, though, that Washington's ordinary conversation was per- fectly clean, and even ceremonious; that he was the most dignified man of his time and that occasional profanity under provocation was not In those days deemed inconsistent with religious character and conviction It was a coarser age, and language as well as cqpduct was much more free than in our own. Washington was a pillar of the church, and when he prayed for his un- happy country and his freezing, starving troops at Valley Forge, doubticss he added a personal petition for grace upon his own sins of hasty temper and rose in confidence ot Divine ‘mercy, like the honest, Christian gentleman that he was.
