Alaska $4,000 worth Of presents, given
them by the Government in recogni-

officers and crew of the steamer Rog

the discovery Of a great river, hith-
erto unknown to geographers. The
river had been vaguely spoken Of by
the Indians to former explorers, and
Stoney, being compelled TO await the
return trip Of the Corwin, determined
to see if there was anything in it, Ac-
companied by one attendant and an in.

the Hotham Inlet in q southeastern

lieved TO be the mysterious river. He
traced it TO its mouth, q distance Of IL
miles, where he saw such immense
pieces Of floating timber as to satisfy
him that the stream must be Of un'
usual length, He retraced his steps
a distance Of 80 miles, where he en-.
countered natives, from whom he
learned that to reach the head waters
Of the unknown stream would take
several months. The Indians tolt
him they came down it q distance o,
1900 miles to meet fur traders, anC
that the river went up higher thar

GOLD BY THE TON.
The Precious Metal I'm humps as
Heavy as a Strong Man
Can Lift.
Amador Dispatch.

AmAuor Bhpalch.
One Of the richest strikes known in
the history Of California was made
three miles south oi this place last
Saturday. A pocket Of quartz Of al
most unparalleled richness was found
less than one hundred feet from the
surface, in which was contained from
$4,000 to 100000, and about tive
tons in quantity. Much ofthis might
be termed chunks OF gold instead oil
Of gold bearing quartz Some Of these
pieces Of solid gold were about as
heavy as man could lift from the
ground, The largest piece was an
oval, sixteen by twenty-five inches
and six or sewn inches thick. This
gold is almost black and Of the same
character as the former rich strikes
found in the same mine. We have nc
doubt that this is the richest find oil
gold ever known In the United States
at one time.
During Friday a ton Of this gold
ireighted metal was taken out. 1t il
not SO rich as the gold streak taken
out some time time ago, but there il
vastly more Of it. The value Of THU
bonanza is estimated at from S50,00(
to 100000. The ledge is five fee
wide and the whole face Of it wa
held together, as it were, by spikes o
solid gold. Altogether, three thou
sand pounds have been taken from
this bunch Of ore and the end is no
yet. The very rich streak from which
this mass Of free gold has been takel
ranges from an inch or SO up to twent
inches in width. The previous sean
varied from the thickness Of knife
blade TO three inches.

Tide.


NEW YORK, October 25.-The mar.
ket opened strong and bouyant, as We
foreshadowed, and the bears have
shown great dexterity in covering
transactions made during their recent
campaign, in most instances at very
severe losses, besides viping out the
large paper profits, which at one time
stood to their credit. The marvellous
change that has come over Wall street
is largely attributed to the recent ac-
cident of Mr.. Vanderbilt, ST.. and his
providential escape from being in.
stantly launched into eternity. That
incident was made the pivot upon
which the market has turned, and had
the fall been fatal and the worlds
richest man been killed, it would have
removed the only fear which the pow
erful bears have had in their destruc
ton Of values, instead Of which it has
served to divert his time and mind
from his fine horses and caused a con.
centration Of both, as we'll as money,
as substitute, in graphing with Wall

fight, and it is not unlikely that for
some time 70 come, at least, this gen.

Dection with Wall street affairs, and
