Scientific men have long sought a

was found to be dotted with gold and
worth several thousand dollars.

10 the worst and most dangerous trail
In the world. Every 800 or 500 feet Is

misstep would huri you into eternity
Thousands OF feet below. In several
places you have 10 crawl on your hands

yond all description.
A few weeks ago four prospectus.
bound for the Rearing Forks country,
left Leadville in a sleigh, drawn by six
mules. They were Charles Hart, r. s.
Bryan, James Sweeney and Chas. Gal
lagher. and being In the employ Of a
rich compay had everything necessary
packed away into convenient space.
Reaching Red Clin without trouble
they put on their o shoes and struck
boldly into the mountains. At the end
Of the first day they found that they
had climbed only one and a half miles,
and during the next two days they were
unable TO put Red Cliff out Of sight.
Eight days later they found that not a
man OF the party could tell the time OF
day, 50 swollen had their Eyes become.
The white sunlight beat down upon the
snow in q constant glare. All the hor-
rible symptoms Of snow blindness be-
gan to manifest themselves and one
dared not look ut another because the
redness about the upper part OF the
face made every man look like some
strange beast. Nevertheless the party
pushed on. Bears shifted the air Of the
camp each night, and the morning huge
tracks could be seen in the snow round
about. Once q grizzly sprang upon the
party, but was beaten Of. The fact
that the provisions were fast disappear
ing gave new for alarm. The
four men drew lots as 10 who should
return to Red Cliff for relief, and the
journey fell TO Sweeney's share. He
sst out at once, and following the trail
reached the halfway point In three
days. On the fourth day Sweeney was
unable TO 60 forward because Of a
binding n Storm On the ninth
day he crawled into q dug-out on Gore
creek. He was mor dead than alive,
and actually had crawled on his hands
and knees the last miles. The
Gore creek men sent a relief party, and
the other ~prospectors were rescued.

HOUSE.


WAsHINGsoN, Feb. 5. Mr.. Cabel
moved TO amend Rule l | giving the Com
mittee op Railroads and Canals iurisdic
tion over the improvement of naVigabIe
rivers.
| Mr.. Frost submitted an amendment ex
Guiding the Mississippi river. claiming that
there Was prodieality in appropriations
| for the East and parsimony In the West.
| He fiually withdrew the amendment and
Mr. Cabell's amendment was defeated, 73
to So.
Mr. Shalleuberger submitted an amend
ment giving the Committee on Public
Buildings Jurisdiction over the appropri-
atious for public buildings.
Messrs. Randall and Clymer opposed the
amendment.
Mr.. Calkins appealed to the members
to strip the Appropriation Committee Of
power aud place legislation on appropria-
ton bills
Mr.. Gillet favored the amendment
The proposition that the Appropriation
Com mittee should control the appropri-
atiods of the House was as ti-Republican
as slavery. aud It's effect was to absolutely
disfranchise nine-tenths of the represen-
tatives of the people The amendment
was adopted. 100 to 81.
Mr.. Chalmers moved an amendment
giving the Committee on Levees and In
provement of the Mississippi river iuris-
diction over the Improvement of its tribu-
taries He said Mr.. Springer, of Illinois,
had, at the extra session, offered resou-
ton TO distribute the work of the House.
but the enemy had captured him.
Mr.. Reagan opposed the amendment.
Mr.. Frye protested veEemently against
the action OF the committee in refusing to
distribute appropriation bills to the navy
and war committees, but IN consenting to
do so in the case of the committees on
commerce and publications.
Mr.. Johnston favored the amendment.
Any experienced engineer would testify
that there could not be two systems one
for the Improvement OF the main stream
and another for the branch. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary that the same authority
should control the Improvement of the
waters Of the whole Mississippi Valley,
Mr. Robson called the attention OF the
committee to the fact that il it adopted
this amendment ii would give the Com
mittee on Mississippi Levees jurisdiction
