~ DREADFUL MuRpER.-M

~ DREADFUL MuRDER.--Mr.
Stringer, proprietor Of the Cold Spring
Ranch, was found murdered, on Sun
day last, on the road, about one mile
north of jamestown. The deed was
probably committed on Thursday last,
since which time the body had been
missing. Two balls passed through
Stripger's body, one IN the head, and
one through the chest, either sufficient
to have caused his death. His team
was found near the body in a starving
condition. Suspicion rests upon man
BY the name Of Keyes, [who is well
known in this yicinity,) partner Of
Stringer, and who, it is said had been on
bad terms with him for some time past.
Stringer had wife aud family in the
States. Keys has made his escape, and
the Sheriff, NJ jor Solomon offers a re-
ward Of Eve hundred dollars for his ap.
prehension. Keys, also, has wife and
family, Who reside onj the ranch.

NEsaAsKA.-Tbis vast territory j.
and must ever be mainly an agricuiturs,
region. 1t is far from tho ocean, and
has no great lakes. The Platte river,
though from one to three miles vide, il
only navigable for steamboats, forty
miles.
From what even the Indians have &C.
complished in agriculture, the country
seems to hold out great hopes to tho
farmer. The Indians there are mostly
supported by agriculture, and according
to official returns, -four tribes Of Christian
Indians, on the northern and southern
kansas, cultivate 40CO acres. From
these they raised in late year, $4,000
bushels of corn, and 1000 bushels Of
wheat, $4,000 bushels of oats, 1000
hogs, and 1000 melons Of different kinds
They kept $3.50 working oxen and q
large number of horses. The annual
value of the products is put down at Ssl,
900. The number Of these Indians is
placed at 1903.
The territory is not well wooded Pep
lar, elm, birch, willow, pine, white oak,
maple and other trees, arc found here
in moderate numbers. The cottonwood
trees abound on tho rivers. Wild AMI
mails, such as buffaloes, deer, elk and
antelopes abound in this country.

PRorERrrEs OF IRov.-In tho con.
cluding lecture ofProfcssor Smith At th.
Smithsonian Institution, the lecturer
dwelt upon the tendency Of iron to un.
dergo a change from 6brous to granu-
lar condition thus causing the abstrae-
ton of an indefinite amount Of its tenao-
ity and strength. Fibrous iron, BY be-
ing considerable time subjected 70
conclusion, will become granular, and
therefore weak. A knowledge Of this
induced the French Government to dis
allow the use Of iron axles on their pub
lie diligences beyond > certain time;
they must then be removed. Iron can
non, originally very strong, become
weaker and weaker By use, from the
loosening Of tho texture Of their rub.

In the Main Gulch, on Saturday last

days and half, twenty-five ounces Of
fine gold, valued at about $3.50.
-
SAW MIL FLAr.-The miners on
Saw Mill Flat, are all doing well and
the camp is in . Aourishing condition !;
new buildings stores, and cabins are 60.
ing up in every direction. This isone Of
the best mining camps in the vicinity Of
Columbia. A rich lead has been found
to extend the whole length Of the fiat
which is supposed to have once been
the bed Of Woods Greek.
Hudson & Co, have a rich claim in
Lanigan's garden. which pays from nine
to twelve ounces per day. The garden
is nearly all staked off and claided, and
although teeming with thrifty vegetables
is bound to be dug mp.
The Chinese creyice claim on the
same lead is paying from six to ten oun-
ces per day.
Inc Nebraska company adjoining
have finished their extensive tail-race,
and are opening the claim, which, ,judg-
ing from the prospects, is bound TO pay
sp!endidly.
The famous New England claim s.ill
pays abundantly.
A new and extensive lead has been
discovered few rods north of Taylor's
At Yankee Hill, which promises to pay
rich.
j. R. johnson & Co have struck the
pay dirt and get over dollar to the pan,
two feet from the Ledge. The gold is
very coarse and heavy. Several claims
on this lead are now opening, aud all
appear to be successful.
Most of the old claims at Yankee
Hill are paying as well as ever.
Springfield is now quite busy camp
and most Of the miners are doing well,
if one can judge by the crowds Of carts
that throng every street and throughfare
and the happy faces and jolly voices Of
the dusty carteros. & 9s
We understand that quite number
of lucky hom1,vs at Gold Springs, and
Gold Hill, have made their piles and are
about to vamose for the States.
Gold Hill is ''giving down" finely.
Brainard & Co., Reynolds & Co., Ross
& Co., Briggs & Co., and a number of
other companies are doing a "huge"
business. Good claims are being found
almost daily. "Go in" boys, Old Gold
Hill is good place to prospect yet.
At Yankee Hill, Messrs Quigley &
Company took out, on Saturday last,
nine and one-half ounces. In one pan
Of dirt, they washe out e;gAty.fre DOL

This rich pay was about eight feet be-

SopA WArEK.--Thosc of our readers
troubled with the palpitation Of the
heart, viii be glad to learn that coda wa

Pal2itai;on Of tie Heart cured IN
Soda Wair.--A lady, about forty
year, Of age, had .uffcrcd for twelve
years from periodical attacks ofpslpi,a-
tion Of the heart, so violent as to shake
the bed on which the patient lay. Dur
ing one attack, feeling thirsty, she e1-
pressed desire for some soda water.
No sooner had she swallowed the first
draushs than her palpi.stion left her
and rccurrcd no more until the period
Of the next attack Al soon as il cou.

ed to try the same remedy secoud time.
He consented, but wishing to ascertain
which Of the ingredients Of the soda va
ter had relieved the complaint, he sava
her dose Of citric acid by itself. This
had no effect. He then gave her doso
Of carbonate of soda, which also fsilsi.
He then mixed the powders, and gave
her some ordinary soda water, placing
his hand at the same time on her heart.
The moment she swallowed tho frs.
mouthful the palpitation ceased, and re-
CURED no more for that time From
that period, whenever the palpita'ion

this simple remedy. 1t appears from ex-
perimonts made by the medical men,
that the carbonic acid was the active
element in relieving the complaint. be-
cause, until the gas was liberated by tho
mixture Of citric acid and the ca,boa.:s
Of soda, no benefit occurred.

KERN RIVER ExcIrEMESr.-Thc
San joaquin RePs5l;ean says, the best
news that has reached Stockton in many
months,is the intelligence of the discoy-
cry Of gold on Kern River. f0t
The new diggings are situated some
$50 miles from Stockton, high up in the
elevated region, in the direction of
Kern's pass. The traveller follows the
southern trail until he strikes Posey, be-
You'd White river, thence he proceeds
along an Indian trail (by which Fremont
came into California on his last trip
in a south-easterly direction. Kern
river, where the gold has been struck,
is stream about as large as the Mokel-
umnc. The fats forming its banks are
represented to prospect richly, ard cf
the whole adjacent mining country the
same may be said. For twenty miles
from where the miner strikes the dig
gings, the road is very rugged so much
50 that it is necessary to use pack mules
IN the transportation of provisions; &c.
Wagons are ofno service.
Oar informant states that there is
plenty Of dirt that pays four cents to the
pan, which is equal to $40 per day to
the man.
At the presen. time thcr. are only
some Is miners on Kern river, but it is
expected that large numbers are now on
their way thi;hcr.
There IS no doubt that the reports
from the new diggings are true in every
particular.-The gold region resembles,
in geographical feature, the region a.
round Hangtown, and extends over a
vast area.

what was admitted before to be a defunct
