boiling water over the tomatoes in order
to remove the skins; then weigh them
and place them in II stone jar, with as
much sugar as you have tomatoes, and
let them stand two days then pour off
the syrup and boil and skim it until no
scum rises. Then pour it over the toma-
toes, and let them stand two days, as be
fore, then boil and skim again. After IA
third time they are tit to dry, if the
weather is good; if not, let them stand in
the syrup until drying weather. Then
place on large cathcn plates or dishes,
and put them in the sun to dry, which
will take about ii week, after which pack
them down in small wooden boxes, with
fine white sugar between each layer.
Tomatoes prepared in this manner will

The Yakima Mines.

II 4tlC Wdil1 " alta AJ9WtSMuH vi NO
velnber lst publishes statement
concerning the discovery and probable
richness and extent OF the above mines,
from which we take the following:
On the 10th of September, AFTER
travelling several days, they cltnped
on the bank of the Swauk, a stream
about the size of Mill Creek. While
some were preparing the evening meal
Others were examining the stream,
with the vague hope that possibly they
might be fortunate enough to ''strike
it," Raking around among the loose
dirt near the waters edge one of the
men discovered u piece Of gold worth
about six bits. Encouraged by this
favorable indication the men COM
menced crcvicing the bedrock, which
IN places was exposed. Their exer-
tions were soon rewarded by the sight
OF $l2 nugget. During the after
noon. and before supper, the party
had secured In the neis shborhood of
40. The journey homeward was
now. indefinitely postponed. The
next day they prospectetl UP the creek
for q distance Of a quarter Of a mile.
The result OF the days work was 1854,
nearly $25 to the man, there being
seven IN the party. The stream was
then explored for distance Of six
miles, and the farther up they went
the richer the prospects. The dirt
from the hills OH either side of the
creek averages seyenty-five cents 10
tile pan. Wherever the bed of the
creek is exposed, gold in large quanti-
ties is to be found. In some places
the water is quite deep, and to remedy
this the course of the creek will have
to be turned, which can be accomplish
ed without difficulty. The gold is
coarse, the largest piece found so far
weighing $lS, and very much resembles
the kOotenai dust. Three hundred
and fifty claims have beed taken up
and recorded. The diggings are two
hundred miles from Walla Walla, and
sixty-five from Yakima City. Along
the creek there is heavy growth Of
timber, aud, therefore, there will be
no lack Of lumber for mining purposes.
1t Is thought the miners will be able
to work through the Winter, as the
weather in that locality is mild. Fol
the main facts we are indebted to MIR.
Goodwin, who reached here OH Nor
day, direct from the diggings.
The Walla Walla Union of Nov. 1st,
gives quite 4 flattering account Of the
richness and extent OF these new mines.
Mr.. Goodwin, one of the discovery
party, has been interviewed by the
Union man. He reports that us high |
as three dollars to the pan has been
obtained, of course from very choice
dirt. The diggings are thought to be
tleep-t the pav-dirt commencing about
three feet from the surface and going
down to the depth ofabout seven feet.
Mr.. Goodwin expresses the utmost
confidence in the richness ofthe mines,
and says they have been prospected
and tested sufficient to warrant the as
sertion that three thousand men can
find good paying claims. The Union
closes its account with this:
LATEsT.-We have just received
news from the new mines, that from
he dirt that two men threw into the
'luices in two days, 5000 were taken
AIKEN out. This is from a perfectly
'eliable gentleman, just from the
mines, who was present at the time.

Mr.. Mansfield in his late letter to the
Gazette. says the Wyandots were the
earliest inhabitants of Ohio, and asks:
"Who were they, and where did they
come from?"
They came Immediately from their
home about Detroit. They were for
merly powerful tribe, called Hurons
by the French and lived in the country
between Lake Huron and Lake Ontario,
until about the wear 1850, when they
were routed by the Five Matt )ns of New
York (afterward six Nations) and driv-
en- to the shores of Lake Superior.
About the year 1865 the Five Ma
tions annihilated the Fries, called by the
French "Cat Nation" who inhabited the
southern shore of Lake Erie Formany
years Ohio was uninhabited, and visited
only by the hunting parties of the Five
Nations and their war parties passing
into the west to attack the AIiamis and
Illinois. But the Wyandots, or uurons,
having settled meanwhile about Detroit,
made a treaty with the Five Nations in
1904, and gradually extended into
Northern Ohio; afterwards the Della
wares moved in from the east, and the
Miamis from the west, and the Shaw
nees from the south.
The MingoeS of Ohio we ca fragment
of the Six Nations. Heckewelder al
ways call the Six Nations Mengwe. He
says they We're called Mengwe by the
Delawares, and Mingoes by the whites.
But the name Mingo was habitually ap-
piled only to the colony that lived in
Ohio. Cor. Cincinnati Gazette.

La Mountains Death.

Mail reports give the interesting de-
tails of the fatal accident to the aero
naut La Mountain, at lonia, last Friday.
His balloon was what is known as hot
air one, and not gas. The canvas had
somewhat of worn appearance, as if
the worse for being filled with heated
air too often. AT the summit, where
the canvas was sewn together, block
some ten or twelve inches in diameter,
was fastened and through hole in this
six-guy ropes were secured, hanging
down over the sides of the balloon, being
mt the bottom some seventeen feet apart
and these were tied to the basket by
the Professor himself. There were no
ropes running around the balloon hori-
zontally to keep the guy-ropes from
slipping or to prevent the whole thing
from sliding out between the ropes,
with gust of wind. AT 3:55 p. NJ. the
Professor stepped into the basket, and
the balloon took shoot up almost per-
pendicularly, with the Professor swing
ing his hat to the crowd, all apparently
enjoying the sight. In a few moments
more, however, the mouth of the balloon
was observed to wave about two or three
times, then to pass between the ropes,
careening over on the side; when the
rope broke out from their fastening at
the top, and the fall commences. La
Mountain was noticed to be apparently
making some effort to get the basket
above him, and if possible to break the
fall, but after the first struggle he fell
so rapidly that nothing could be distin-
guished but the falling body, his hat
coming after him, about one hundred
feet or more behind, the old canvas, near
collapsed, falling down gradually. The
body struck the ground half dozen
feet from the north west corner of the
Jail building. 1t struck with such ter
rible thud that it Jared the ground for
fifty rods around, and made an linden
ton in the solid ground eight inches in
depth.
There was scarcely bone in the whole
body not broken into fragments. 1t was
as limpsy as rag. There were few
fractures of he skin, except the right
foot, the bone of the right leg being
driven through the bottom of the foot
The body lay upon couch, circle
was formed, and the procession of all
who wished to view the remains passed
around. The Professor is a brother of
the celebrated aeronaut who died two or
three years ago.
This ones name was Edward La
Mountain. He was ieweler by trade,
and lived at Brooklyn, in this State. He
had said just before he went up that he
wished to take the train for home as
soon as possible after coming down, as
his wife was very sick. He himself had
not had his clothes off for ten days.
There We're IRON 10000 to $4,000 peo-
pie who witnessed this horrible tragedy.
He was seen by people for four miles
from the city, at an angle of thirty-five
degrees. The best estimates make the
heigth from which he fell 100 to / 800
feet. Those who were on the hill back
of the town said the strangest sight was
to witness the eoplc swaying back and
forward like field of wheat moved by
the wind.
