How the Indians Captured Whale.

4 Quineute correspondent of the Se- attle Intelhgencer writes that paper: A few days ago a whale came into the bay, within three hundred yards of the shoal. The Indians from all around were at a potlatch. Soon as the whale was seen blowing, all was excitement, and five canoes, strongly manned, went for him in less time than 1t takes me to tall 1t. The whale would come mp every five or ten minutes and blow. The h. dians would go for him every time he came up, and when he went down all would lay on their oars. The canoes fairly shot through the water, almost like an arrow from the bow. They chased him about an hour around the bay. He then started out past James Island, but just as he was going around he came up twice ID succession and so nearly in the same place that the Indians were almost on top of him. Iorkalahah threw his spear and struck the whale fairly, and soon after all five of the ca- noes had spears in him. The water was quickly red with blood They wrestled with the big fish two hours before they conquered him. Then came the tug of war-to tow him ashore, as he had work ed three miles away from the bay. They went to work with all the strength in hem, and unitedly and laboriously brought him nearer and nearer us spec tators on the beach. When three hun dred yards distant the leading canoe came ashore, bringing line, upon which all the squaws, pappooses and spare men in camp took hold. They pulled with might and main, and It was not long be- fore the dead monarch Of the wave was high up on the beach. He proved to be fOrty-eight feet long, fifteen feet across the back. He looked to us like a noun. tain, and everybody made it a point to climb on top of him. We fried some oi the meat and found it tender and good quite like elk. It would almost melt II ones mouth. It was amusing to see the Indians cut him up. They widowed II the meat and grease like pigs, working indefatigably, cutting, carrying and try ing it out. This IS an experience long to be remembered.

 A report was recently current that
 James Whitlach, the weil-known minins
 man, who died on an Arlz0na desert
 while prospecting for a fabuiously rlci
 mine which some Indians had secretly
 informed him existed in that region, and
 to which they were guiding hIln. Suct reports about Mir. Whltlatchs deati
 have frequently been in circulation, but
 as the account of his demise was tni time so circumstantial as to carry con
 viction of its truth, the Daily Report, IT
 common with other journals. aided II | killing the gentleman. It was coit' | blOOded murder, without even the cN cuse of emotional insanity to !ustiiy lt ] The paper had not been ont half aI | hour when a stalwart, d5tgrmiaed-look | ing man entered the editorial pariors | The member of the staff who wrote th, \ obituary was reclining on a lounge
 smoking one of the hoOkahs with Whicl the office furnishes its writers for the | enjoyment of their numerous leisure
 hours, and ever and anon slipping sher
 bet from crystal goblet that stood oi
 an ebony table by his side.
 "Where's the man who wrote tins ar | ticle:" inquired the visitor.
 The gentleman addressed cast glance
 at the stout walking-stick, cE2r!'a''1e-
 with heavy knob for & Eaa5ls snd 8
 thick iron ferule, looked at the articl- and replied that the gentleman wh,
 wrote t had been sent cn Go-a.! to Alas | ka to write up the uulnfaei'uiI- re
 sources of that Territory.
 The visitor then explained that he wa | Jim Whltlatch; that he was not dead
 and did not expect to die, ard that ht | objected to being killed off in such aI | unceremOnious manner. NIT. Whltlatcl
 is engaged in working a mine in Color
 ado, adjoining the famous Moose, and | the object of his visit to San Francisco | Is to purchase quartz mill for the re | duction of his ores. When asked why he came to San Francisco to purchase ;
 mill when there were so many establish ments nearer home that manufactur,
 mining and reduction machinery, he an swered that 1t was on account of the SUI periOrity of San Francisco-made machin cry over that turned ont in any city T. the Union. He stated that the greate' | durability and effectiveness of machIn cry made here more than offset an addi l tional cost over eastern machinery anC that it comes cheaper in the end, not

 Colorado to purchase mill, instead O

Ben i.elnnd's Rennest.


 Haverly's mastodon minstrels were playing in London, and were softly sing- ing one night to crowded house the chorus in "Old Kentucky Home" When the last notes melted away a strange looking figure advanced a few steps from his seat in dark corner of the pit, and the audience were startled at hear ing a voice say earnestly and distinctly: 'Sing the dear old song again-sing it for me, I'm listening hard and I'm lis tening low, boys, and every word IS n friend to me-everything. Say, will you sing it just once more for me, right now and here?' It was the figure and voice of Ben Leland, an old minstrel, who left this country several years ago, and after playing in Australia made his way, broken down old man, to London. Here be supported himself by playing the banjo, but eked out generally a miserable and hard existence. The mas todons sang the chorus again, and the figure sank back into its seat. When the audience dispersed, it remained motionless, and when an attendant came to arouse it he found Ben Leland dead.
