SIGNS OF AN OPEN WINTER.
An Old Indian Squirrel.Huntel and
Mink Trapper Predicts.

~"A AA~PPeA lcWICtSs
"What kind of a Winter are we
going to have, uncle?" asked Terre
Haute Ind.) Express reporter of an
old squirrel-huntcr and mink. trapper
who makes his home in the hills across
the river.
~ kinder calculate that we will
have u rather mild winter; all the in
dicatiohs point to SUCH"
"What signs do you go by, uncle?"
81 have agood many signs, aud l
never knew one to fail yet. When l
say we are going to have mild winter,
you can depend on it. Haven't l
lived in this country for forty years,
and haven't l watched the winters
right along, and oughtn't l to be able
t. tell?"
care the corn-husks thin this year?"
"Iou better reckon they are. There
are only two or three layers of them,
and they are as thin as calico. WHY,
the corn is all dry enough now to go
through snow without injury. The
one or two frosts we have had has
sucked all the sap out of it,"
Are there other indications besides
the corn husks?"
"You better believe there are.
Now, when the sun crossed the line
the wind blew from the southeast.
That indicates mild Winter every
time. If it had blown from the north
you could have been prepared to
hear the wind blow great guns"
us that al'?"
"Not by long ways. l could tell
you enough to fill a book. Nv dog
holed a ground-hog the other day. l
had nothing to do, SO l set to work
and dug the animal out. He didn't
have leaf Or II twig in his hole: hadn't
nothing in the shape Of nest"
'lsn't it too early for ground hogs
to make their ncsts:"
Nov see how little you know
about the grounding. "A ground
hog has his hole dug, or has picked
out his hole by the LIST of September.
If it's going to be cold Winter he
has it filled with leaves by this time"
els there anything else?"
"Nes. The coons haven't COM
menccd to gnaw the corn. That is a
splendid iyn. Another sign, and a
sign that never fails, the woodpeckers
haven't commenced to drum. Now,
il this was going to be a cold WI r
all the old dead trees would be CIV
cred with red heads pccki"g >ay at
a hole in which to store nuts"
"lsn't it too earl for that YETI"
"Not bit. They should have
their holes all pecked by this time,
and be ready to fill them. There is
not smarter bird than the wood
pecker; he knows what he is about
when he is pecking away at an old
limb from morning till night.

OUR POSTMASTERS.
worthy but Mostly Underpaid Class
Of Public Servants.

There are about fifty thousand post.
ofhces' says a Washington letter, in
the United States Two thousand
two hundred of these are so cousidera.
Ole as to be filed by the appointment
OF the President; the others are filed
by the appointment of the Postmaster.
General. AS matter of fact.
of course, they are all filed bv
the politicians of the towns to which
they belong. Opposite the name of
each postoffice on the books of the de.
partment, is the name of the depart.
ment's correspondent for that point.
lie Is always a Senator or Representa-.
tive in Congress. The Virginia list.
OF course, differs from all the Others.
"Mahone, Virginia." can be written
once for all opposite the entire list.
No Virginia postmaster is appointed
without his approval. The salaries of
these $4,000 postmasters vary greatly.
Postmaster Pearson, of New York
City, worthy young man who had
the good sense and the good taste to
make ex-Postmaster-General James
his father-in-law, gets $4,000 a year.
No other postmaster gets as large a
salary. Postmaster Huidekoper, as
you know, gets $4,000 a year, and
from that they taper down. All the
''non-PresidentiSl" postmasters-the
SMALL fry-are paid upon the basis
of the business done at their Offices.
This is determined, not by counting
the stamps sold nor by counting the
pieces handled, but by counting the
number OF stamps Cancelled. Forty
seven postmasters receive 81 a year
as salary; eleven receive 25 cents a
year; one receives 8 cents; one 6
cents, and one 5 cents year. Post
master Solane, of Perrilla, White
county, Tenn, is the Scent man.
He enjoys the humble distinction of
receiving the smallest salary of any of
Uncle Sans civil servants. There is
some difference between Mr.. Ar,hur's
$4,000 and MIR. Solane's 5 cents.
In all we pay the postnasters of the
country about SlO,OOO,OOO a year;
So, 100000 goes to the "PresiJential"
postmasters. They earn their money.

erty-Etc.
One OF the most successful of many
firms Of mine promoters that hav.
been operating in this section during
the past two years, has just taken hold
OF another promising property. Nc.
Gregor & Conner, the well-known
mining men who only few days ago
sold the Allen group of mines, on
W arm Springs Creek, to strong syn
dictate OF Leadville and Detroit CAPT
tallsts, yesterday purchased the Bati-
more group of five claims, which is sit
uated on Baltimore Hill, and about
one mile from the lannon's Elkhorn
mine. The deed was made out in the
name Of j. McGregor. he having con-
Quoted the negotiations in the absence
OF his partner, Mr.. Conner, in Salt
Lake. The price paid for the prop.
erty is $4,000.
AS above stated, the Baltimore
group is located about mile from the
Elkhorn mine. 1t was located early
this spring by Messrs. Preston and
Cobaugh, the latter being WELL
known prospector, while the former is
interested in the house of Isador Nor
ris & Co. Soon after location force
OF men was put to work to open up
the property thoroughly. The devel-
opments to date have satisfied all par
ties interested that the group is on the
great Elkhorn mineral belt, if not
actually on the same vein. They in.
clude an incline which is down over
100 feet, and a drift about IS feet
long from the bottom of the incline.
l his on the Baltimore.
On the Victoria, which adjoins the
Baltimore, there is a tunnel which IS
over 100 feet long and shows an ore VEN
from one foot to seven or eight feet
wide. The shaft and the drift on the
Baltimore show similar width of
vein and corresponding formation
In the progress Of work about $40, 600
worth of ore las been extracted, which
can now be seen on the dumps or in
the mine. The quantity or value of
ore in place is also large. The OPEN
ings on the Baltimore being about 400
feet from those on the Victoria, and
the appearance of vein, etc, beng
quite conclusive as to the continuity
and identity Of the ledge, the group
is probably as great bargain as was
ever got on Wood River. 1t is. be-
sides, full of promise; and if it opens
up as anticipated, ten times the
amount paid for it will be no price for
it next spring.
Messrs. McGregor & Conner will
lose no time in putting men to work
on their new purchase. They have
already sent a man to take charge,
and in few days, or as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be made,
Il pick ID crew of competent miners
will be set to work for the winter.

PIERCE COUNTY.

The particulars Of an unfortunate &C
cident we're detailed to the Ledger re-
preventative yesterday by Byron Young,
who had Just returned from Steilacoom.
He reported that about half past nine
o'clock Yesterday morning Martin Shell
ton and VIM. Webster were souffiing,
and that. while so engaged, Webster
threw Shelton, the latter falling in such
a manner that both bones Of the left leg
were broken square off just above the
ankle. The leg was promptly set, and
at last accounts Mr.. Shelton was resting
an well as could have been expected.
United States Marshal Hopkins, now
attending District Court here, and w.
b. Thompson, of the night police of So
attic, returned on the steamer Emma
Hayward from McNiel Island. where
they had been to quell rising spirit OF
dissatisfaction among some of the pris-
oneis. 1t seems they revoltsd against
the idea of being obliged to work, pre-
ferring rather TO observe their compan-
ions industriously SO engaged. Hence
the difficulty. The officers succeeded in
bringing about better state OF affairs.
Mr.. Thompson will start tomorrow for
McNiel Island, to become one of the
guards at the prison.
Reliable information was received
Yesterday to the effect that a man
named Russel, resident Of Wollatchet
Bay, while at work in a logging camp
Just across the bay from Steilacoom, cut
himself seriously, without doubt MAIN
ing himself for life. lie was welding a
sharp and heavy axe, and in some man
ner. possibly by falling, it struck him
ON the back of the left leg. just below
the hip, being buried deeply, and sever
ing the muscles. He WIS at once car
ried 10 the Harmon House, in Stella
COON. and physicians promptly sum
moned, who rendered him all the aid
possible. II is believed he will be Grip
pied for iife.-Ledger.

Portland Standard


One of the most cold bIooded and
heartless cases of robbing and neecIng
an innocent stranger ever heard.of mas
been going on in this city for the past
week. and strange as il may sesu- 1t
was carried on day after day until the
victim was completely stripped OF every
thing he possessed before he reported
the matter to the police authorities. 1t
seems that Albeit W. Brown, the victim
who has been 90 systematically robbed,
arrived by the steamer Columbia last
SATURDAY. on his way to Seattle. On bis
arrival he pst I'D at the st. George Ho-
tel. Aftersupper he took walk around
town, and dropped into q saloon 70 get
a drink, and while there he met q
stranger whose name It seems was n.
Frankeustein, they had several drinks
and Brown got partially drunk. when
they left the saloon together and Frank
enstein persuaded Brown TO dispose OF
his watch and chain. Entering jew
elry store or pawn shop on FIRST street,
Brown did as requested. sslling ~
watch, $50 chain. and Sso locket Tor
S75. On emerging from the store
Ffankenste:n took the money, giving
his victim els, and keeping $50 FOR HIM
self. He then took Brown TO his room
at the st. George Hotel and put him to
bed. Early next morning Frankenstein
appeared at Browns room at the hotel
and going through his pockets, be took
the remaining money contained therein;
and going to the Office of the hotel, paid
| Browns bill, telling him to wait there
He went away shortly after, returning
with a Mr.. Mayors. who keeps a cigar
stand on First street. They then took
Browns two trunks, one costing xl2s
| and the other $50; also ten suits oil
clothes, about .thirty-five shirts, foui
| pairs Of boots, and various other articles
| OF underclOthIng, which they conveyed
to the cigar store of Mayors, and tbs
balance was taken possession OF by
Frankenstein. When Brown demurrec
TO this strange proceeding he was III
| formed that the st. George was an un
safe place. Frankenstein kindly al
lowed Brown TO sleep in his room, con
tinually advising him to leave the city
plying him with liquor and drugs Il
keep him stupIfed. He finally trades
| of an old suit of clothes he had IN hi:
room for q good suit Brown was wear
ing, and turned him into a tramp
This was too much for even good ma
tured Brown, who reported to polic'
| headquarters and Frankenstein was ar
rested last evening and will have hear
ing today.

Phil Davis killed his enemy by shoot
ing through window in the night at
Gonzalez, Texas. Then he mounted
his horse, and rode off through the
brush at a gallop for sixteen miles. He
reached home by a circuitous route,
meeting nobody on the way, and went
TO bed in the belief that he was safe
from detection. He had scarcely fallen
asleep before party of horsemen ar-
rived to hang him. They had discov-
cred the footprints of his horse at the
scene of the murder, and followed the
trail without difficulty to its end.
