WOOD RIVER.
A Number of the Mines Coming to
h Front.
N..hAA nj IL

the Front.
yankee Fork Herald, 4th inst.l
d. @. Coleman returned from Wood
River several days ago. To him we are in
debted for the facts in regard to the new
camps of Bullion and Greenhorn. He
speaks f~iatteringly Of that section, and
thinks many good mines will be worked
next year.
The town of Bullion was formerly called
Croy's gulch. The mines we're discovered
by Croy in the middle of last MAY. The
most prominent are the Mayflower, Jaw
Gould and 0 X, which have been bonded
by Mcintosh, of Salt Lake, for S45, 900.
The Bullion is the first extension south
of the Mayfiower, and was lately sold by
Stafford to the Wood River Silver Mining
Company. 1t crops out the full length of
the claim, and is one Of the most promi-
nent mines in the Wood River country.
They are down 80 feet on it, and are taxing
out shipping ore. Assays of 50, 600 per ton
have been made lately.
The Bay State is owned by D. G. Cole
man and b. Quigg. 1t is two feet wide aud
has been traced 600 feet on the surface.
The average assay is 1875 ozs. per ton.
A mine called the Sunny South is mar
row, but goes 400 OH. Coleman and
Quigg also own this location. No work of
any amount has been done on it. a depth
OF only IL feet having been obtained. All
the above mines are galena ore.
WEIGH and Sennett W the Eureka, a
carbonate mine that assays 81 900 per ton,
average. 1t is two feet wide on the sur
lace, and runs into schutes as they sink.
Otan experts say the indications are very
favorable for large chambers at some
depth. The ore from this mine is the
richest carbonate in the camp.
A ledge owned by two Frenchmen, form
erly OF Salmon City, Andrew Toulas and
Louis Palise, shows well. 1t is traced
5000 feet, and they nave two locations on
It. The width Of the vein is from IL to is
ieet' and a sample assayed gave 80 ozs. per
ton. The ore is q combination of carbon
ate, iron and galena. 1t is situated in the
extreme north end of the mineral belt,
which is four miles long by half a mile
wide, and the formation limestone.
Ihe Bullion Company have $50, 900 in
slght IN the Treasury, and will hasten the
development OF the mine this winter. They
also own the Ophir and Lookout claims.
Inc latest discovery was made by Johnny
Boyle three miles southwest OF Bullion.
The vein has three locations ON it and
crops out the length Of two OF them. 1t is
ten feet wide, and selected black s~ulphuret
ore assayed as high as So, ono per ton.
uood judges say the rock will work as
hlgh as $500 per ton. This strike is said
to be the best on Wood River.
Hon. M. ]. Bidly was the first man to
discover ore on the Lower Wood River.

1t is safe to say that not for many
years has an expected addition to a family
called together a crowd such as is now
gathering about the apartments of the
Queen of Spain. Usually the persons
present on such an occasion are privately
notified in advance by the lady who pro-
vides the entertainment. and, being Sc
lected for sympathetic purposes, they
naturally know how tin short, they
are women. Even the doctor never
makes his appearance until summoned
by a painting husband or a galloping
messenger. But the invitations to Queen
Christmas interesting event have been
issued by the Lord Chamberlain, and
although the crowd might be exactly to
his W liking in case he had any duty
like the Queens to perform, it seems
hardly such a party as Her Majesty
would have selected had she been con-
suited. Every member of it is of the
gender that is utterly useless on such
occasions. Among them are grave diplo-
mats, astute Cabinet officers, sanity pre-
lates and proud mobiles; but it would be
safe to offer a million to one that not a
man of the whole body knows catnip
from peppermint, or could give the royal
baby its first bath, or knows how to
handle the scales so as to be able to as
sure the expectant father that he had
landed a ten-pounder. And in case of
twins-a possibility that the Lord Cham
berlain, never having been a mother, has
entirely overlooked-why, it would be
just like those stupid old fellows to mix
those babies up and knock the whole
question of the Spanish succession into
the limbo of eternal uncertainties. And
suppose the baby should howl, as most
husbands have heard in strict confidence
that babies always do as soon as born,
just imagine the German Ambassador,
or the Minister of Finance, or the Pa
triarch of the Indies trying to soothe it
Win dusn, my dear, or by, y baby
bunting" or even 'Hey. diddle, diddler'
Attendants OF such occasions are ex-
pected to be patient and good tempered,
but most of those old fellows will want
to smoke, which, of course, will not be
the proper thing in the Queens apart
ments. and if Her Majesty should com
pei the party to remain a long time, as
ladies sometimes do on such occasions,
there will be the crosssst crowd that
Spain has known since the time she
raised her rate of taxation. The whole
thing is a mistake. Lord Chamberlains
are generally considered old grannies,
and Her Majesty undoubtedly wishes
that the Spanish functionary on this occa-
sion might be one.

Dissatisfaction In New Jersey.
NEW York, Sept. 1.-THE Tribune

the Republicans have great confidence in
their ability to carry the State by a fair
majority. They will certainly carry the
Legislature, which will elect a Republican
Senator as successor to Randolph. So
confident are the Republicans of success
in this matter, that an active canvass has
already commenced as to who shall sue

GOLD is coming over to this country
now at the rate Of several millions a
week, and our cousins on the other side
of the water are amazed again at our
marvellous capacity for begetting won
ders. That the United States should
make such rapid strides towards the en-
viable position of a creditor country, is
at once perplexing and tormenting to the
money-lending nations, to whom we have
been in debt for the past twenty years.
Brother Jonathan has made enough
trouble for them in the sharp COMPETE
tion for the worlds while
handicapped with a b~urdcnsome debt, and
there is nothing pleasant for them in the
contemplation Of what he will do when
relieved Of that load. So far as the
money-lenders of Europe are concerned
we have paid our debt, and indeed they
are now only able to hold enough of their
boards Of gold to answer their business
needs by going into debt to the United
States. Germany has already raised it's
loan-rate to 6 per cent. to keep its gold
at home, and most Of the European ma
tions will have to follow its example.
This only means that a sufficiently high
rate of interest must be paid to induce
the United States to lend its money on
that side Of the ocean instead of ship
ping it to this country for use here.
Mr.. FrFIELp, Of Vermont, now de.
nounc as Democratic" the opinion of
Judge Swayne that personal solicita-
tion" in cases like that in which General
Garfield allowed himself to act for a
lobby agent while Chairman of the House
Committee on Appropriations is not a
legitimate sort of professional service.
In a speech which he has just delivered
about the Supreme Court, Mr.. Fi6eld
assails Judge Swayne as being of Demo.
cratic tendencies" and bewails the pros.
pect OF the reorganization of the court in
harmony with these terrible 'stenden.
cies.". Mr.. Fifield will hardly take the
country with him in this matter. 1t is
awkward for General Garfield that the
only services" which he is sure he
rendered his employers of the De Golyer
lobby should have been of a kind stigma
tized by Judge swayne as 'illegitimate.
but the tendencies" of all th;nk;nc
men in these United States just now in
regard to the relations between legisla-
tors and the lobby happen to be quite as
distinctly Democratic" as those of
Judge swayns.

They Can't Help IT.

There is u limit beyond which the
housewife who has eagerly plunged into
the canning and preserving season can
not go. There are only l,5OO known
methods Of putting up peaches. 1t may
take her sometime to get to the last one,
but she'll reach it in time. The latest
estimate places the number of fruit jars
ON sale in this country at 30, 600, 900. No
housewife can secure more than her pro-
portion of these. After she has asked
her husband seventy eight consecutive
times to ''send up another dozen of those
cans, " there must come alull. She may
then demand her share of the crooks
and jars and jelly tumblers Of this great
and growing country, but winter is only
three months away. BY and by there
will come an end to this asking for Fan
other twenty pounds of that same kind
of sugar" The stock on hand in this
country will not allow any family to con-
sumo over 5000 pounds in putting up
preserves. The woman who goes be-
You'd that must do so at her peril. While
the average husband feels thrill of ex-
aItation us he realizes that plums are
played, he must not be plunged into
despair to learn that peaches will go down
to fifty cents before the last OF the crop
is in, and that pears were never known
to be so plenty. No cellar can hold more
than it can After the jugs and jars and
cans and pitchers are stacked from floor
to ioice, the wife has either got to lay Oft
her big apron and quit or else rent space
from the neighbors, and the chances will
be that they will have none to spare. In
two weeks more she'll have to give up on
peaches and pears. Then she'll begin
on tomato pickles and catsup, jump to
cucumbers-slid off on apple butter
work up bushel of quinces-boil down
barrel of cider, and then sit down and
give up the unequal struggle. That is
she'll suddenly remember that every can
and jar and jug must be lifted up or taken
down and opened and heated over, and
if perchance she finishes the job before
spring the mince-pie season will serve to
keep the house stirred up. They were
born that way, and men must suffer and
endure. -Detroit Free Pres.

SLEEPY HOLLOW.
ny CHARLES NJ. LOGAN.

In dear, secluded valley, between the hollow OF the
hills,
Midst the rocks and chasms grouping, in the pools
and marshes dropping,
Stands an ancient mllla ruin in its slow and sure
decay
Yet sti it reara in broken tiers 1t is falling fast
Ills oyerrun with masses of the widest creeping
grasses,
That have started from the moisture Of the rills.
In this hollow, of an evening, not soul has dared
to roam
Though the stiffness there is sleeping, and the
crescent moon IL pccping
Down into the crumbled, broken stonework of the
pile,
There il dread, "a Of the dead that hosts of former
style
Are still and slowly treadng where the moon is
Scattered silver through the fragments Of the DOME
THO willow shades the marshes with a waving hedge
of green,
lts boughs to waters bending, from whose darkest
depths are sending
rhosphorescent wsps Of grasses to ilumc the sombr
air;
lisa sight 50 ghasty bright that mortal fain
would dare
Its soudes of mystery in quest of ancient history
To enlight the worldly mind upon the things that
he had seen.
But when first those broken walls unfodcd to our
view,
The dayliPhts sun was streaming, and through
the windows seeming
Like welcome TO the long forgotten room.
And IN the sun, unlike nun alone, saw "A crimson

Driving from its cloak the morning dew.

That rushed in frcshcnmg srrgcs--through my

suspicion that see the noted pirate that once these
beams bcstrd-
That It's the fery-whiskered Kidd, guarding his
treasure hid
From the greedy hands of miners that would seek
the phantom sinners,
That were thought to have been buried and beneath
these walls amassed.
In this room they once wcro sitting these pirates
hard and stern,
Like the pictures of Miles Standsh, dressed in
costumes now outlandisa,
though picturesque in attitudes, like sculptured
Roman clay,
With faces cold, in rigid mold until tho twilight
day,
With morning breezes rising, their sordid minds
npprlRing,
They vanished to the spirit world, though nightly to
return.
Distant, ghosty sounds were heard to echo through
the bare
Ruins of the mill dccayed, and through the morn
ings darkness vague,
And spectral rushed the rushing streams
In broken rils between the hills and from the dark
ravines.
Clanking chains and tapping sa1s, that seemed to
be amidst the gales,
Fell with deep distnctless upon the morning ali.
