The Black Hills Pioneer says the Big
Horn excitement seems to be on the
increase. Another large expedition is
organizing. We cannot learn, with
~positiveness, that any one pretends to
know exactly where there are rich
gold deposits in that Countrywide ex-
petitions which have set out, and
those organizing, being merely pros
p%ecting enterprises in such numbers
az to insure safety from hostile In
dians. The Heart mountains, south
west of the Big Horn mountains
proper, seem to be the objective point
of many. Gold was found in the
Heart mountains years ago. but not i n
considerable quantities, we believe.

The Hamburg.

The furnace at the Atlas, that has
been smelling Hamburg ore, will be
run down to-day. An onecu i'm
preston prevails that the ore bodies
in the Hamburg mine have given out.
This is a mistake. They are as large
and as rich in gold and silver as ever,
but the percentage Of lead is very
small, so much so as to render the
smelling very Improbable. The
Whim shaft, to the north OF the main
shaft, has furnished some six tons of
ore per day, running very high in lead.
and this has been mixed with ore
from the chambers worked in the Pa
ciic shaft. The ore was extracted
from a drift running south 626 feet,
bringing it in close proximity to the
main shaft, but some $50 feet lower.
Work had to be suspended in this shaft
and level some three weeks ago on &C.
count of the foul air. Since that time
the company have been competing
with the other furnaces for the pur-
chase of heavy lead ore, and finally
ON to the conclusion that it was bet
ter to shut down the furnace until
such time as the proper connections
are made. Mr.. Powell informs us
that they will probably start up again
in about one month. The Hamburg
Company still holds the lease of the
furnaces, and will sub-lease one of
them TO either the Jackson or X X,
still retaining the other for their own
use. Which of those two companies
will run the extra furnace will be de-
termined to-day.

Before the Investigating COMMITTEES
TO-DAY Senator Palmer, of Benton

the world that he was going to be Su-

in Benton county 25 years; understood
Palmer was elected as a Nesmith man;
Benton county favored Nesmith as
against Grover by a large majority.
In a talk with me, Palmer said, "As
far as Benton county is concerned, l
don't are particularly; l expect to
leave here; l have been offered the ST.

expect Ia accept it," This was the
Sunday after the senatorial election. l

the election. He neither admitted nor
denied that he brought money to Sa-

continued: Whitaker is a farmer
and a Democrat. He told me he was
satisfied Nesmith had no chance; he
had seen o many men go upstairs,
including MosIer, Butler and others;
they have gone up to get money.
Benjamin Simpson, Surveyor General,

Palmer admitted to me he told several

siding in Salem were called to-day to
impeach Stiles veracity. All testified
hat Stiles reputation for truth and
veracity was bad; that his testimony
was unworthy of belief.
A telegram received o-day, dated

Phoebe was in its glory in the days

Hundreds of tons of rich ore was be-

daily. Big mining suits occupied the
attention of the courts; noted mining
lawyers thronged the town, attending
them; fighters found as ready employ
ment in the mines as did laborers,
commanding higher prices for their
peculiar talents; money was plenty,
gambling at its height, and a man for
breakfast every morning. You can
never persuade an old resident of that
town that there ever was, or ever will
he another such a place on the face of
the earth, as was Phoebe in its balmy
DAYS.

Russian advance into Anatolia. When

bekir, single strong, or even fortified place

gateway between Turkey and Persia will be
closed and the supremacy OF England as an
Eastern power will be threatened, since an
advance TO India from that point will be
feasible. By that time, however, John Bull
