night the horse would stand near him,
occasionally coming up and licking his
face, and in the morning he would come
to him to- be saddled. The horse kept
going with him until he struck thetral1,
when he turned and followed it till he
met the Macleod coach. Parker said
that at one time he felt SO desperate that
that if he had had a piece Of paper n
pencil to explain his action he would
have shot himself. His first thought on
returning to consciousness was his duty,
wondering how he could get the dis
patches which he had saved to their des-
tination.
Parker is from Toronto, and is q son
of the auditor of the Credit Valley rail-
way. He has had a pretty rough eXper-
fence, and we are glad to record his MIR
aculous escape from the very jaws OF a
terrible death. We understand that he
is improving, and we trust that ia a very
short time lie will have entirely recover
ed. Fortunately, the weather was not
very cold or he would undoubtedly have
persisted, as he had on only light cloth
ing and a felt hat. Parker was brought
in from Whoop Up yesterday, and i
now in the hospitalunder DR.. DeNeber'S

A Mounted Policeman Gets Snow-blin'
and Lost--A Horses Instinct
Saves His Life.

Charles Parker, a member Of the
Northwest Mounted Police stationed at
Macleod, started from Stand Off for the
st. Mary's river with dispatches during
the ate storm. After travelling some
distance he became snow-blind and lost
his way, and had been out five days and
nights without anything to eat when he
was found by the stage driver en- route
to Macleod. The particulars as given us
by Mr.. Hugh. Munroe, a passenger On
the coach, are much as follows They
found him sitting OH his horse in an al
most unconscious state, about eighteen
miles this side of Milk river, OF the Ben
ton trail. He did not seem to care where
he went or what became of him. They
took him from his horse, but after he
had sat still a few moments he could not
move. When he saw a loaf of bread he
thought lie could eat ten Of them, but
was unaLle to touch II small piece OF It.
The horse showed itself almost human.
He had 40 lariat to tie him with, but
when he would lie down III the snow at

From the FortMacleodGazette.

J. J. McHugh is evidently in training
for some great athletic contest. His first
excursion was a little walk Of thirty
miles from the Little Bow river. He
was set afoot by his horses and walked
in here.
One of the barges built by Capt. Todd's
party started down the river loaded with
lumber on Monday morning. She ran
on a bar about five miles down and con
siderable difficulty was experienced in
getting her off.
In a practice cricket match here on
Tuesday last, L. O. Garrett put together
10 runs in splendid style, and with
scarcely a life. The total inning was
It's, and from the cricket shown, there
is little doubt but that Macleod can
muster an eleven which can look over
the territory.
III. A. Kanouse has bought the black
smith shop and business OF j. B. Smith.
He leaves the management of it entirely

Refrigerator Cars.

Mr.. Sleeper, superintendent Of the re-
frieerator ear service Of the Northern
Pacific road, makes Unexpectedly salts
factory showing Of the favorable eondl-
tons which may be established in Mon
tana for tile slaughter OF stock AND he
shipment of dressed beef to st. Paul, in
lieu Of the transport Of cattle on the hoof.
There has never been any doubt OF the
greater economy in the former mode OF
transport, and Mr.. .Sleeper's statlctlcal
showing of the saving in dollars and
cents simply confirms the general inn
preston. The doubt Of the success OF
the scheme has touched rather the prac-
ticability of Strengthening at remote
points on the frontier, distant from mar
kets for the large waste, and lncalcuia-
bly, valuable products Of slaughter hous-
es, which may not ordinarily be shipped
witt, profit. But Mr.. Sleeper shows
that in nearly every case these second
airy products may be consumed on the
ground or shipped with profit. Hides
and horns, he paints out, can be sold III
Montana. on account Of their select char
acter and better condition, for more
than mixed articles of the same class
bring in Chicago. Hoofs may be made
into oil and bones into fertilizers, and
sold Oh the ground. Offal may be used
to fatten hogs. Tallow is the only pro-
duct which must pay the cost of tran
sportation before gainiug market. il
Nj. S~leeper's figures bear the test Of
peactical experience. the slaughter OF
cattle and the shipment of dressed meats
promises to be the greatest and most
profitable manufacturing industry Of

TIE CITY OF THE pARsEEs.

Bombay, "the City of the Parsees," So
called from the fact that large portion of
the population are Parsees, strange sect of
people. Bombay and Calcutta are great
rivals, each claiming to be the second city
in the British empire, London being first
and each claiming about 500, 900 popula-
ton. Both are great commercial cities,
Bombay being the chief seaport of western
India, as Calcutta is of eastern India. Bonn
bay is a beautiful city. In the business
part are magnificent buildings which would
be an ornament to any city. Other streets
are beautifully shaded with cocoanut
palms. 1t is cosmopolitan city, its streets
are a perfect kaleidoscope. Like New
York, it is built on an island. and has one
of the finest harbors in the world. In the
streets you see the famous jugglers of In
dia swallowing knives and snakes, taking
GLASS balls out of their ears, drinking fire,
etc. And here are snake charmers hand
ling the deadly cobras with IMMUNITY, their
fanes being extracted. In Bombay one can
see any day three modes of disposing Of
the dead. The Christians bury in the
earth. The Hindoos burn their dead.
Sometimes the remains are burned to
ashes, but often, for want of fuel, they are
only partially burned and then thrown into
the water. But of all the modes of dis
posing of the dead, the custom OF the Par.
sees is the most repulsive. They leave the
naked remains on the top of lofty stone
towers to be devoured by vultures. Across
the bay from Bombay are the celebrated
Caves of Elephanta, gigantic subterra-
mean temples excavated in the rock, con-
tanning colossal stone idols. These caves
have az ancient but unknown history.
What know We of then7 Nothing; there they stand
Gloomy as night, inscrutab'e as fate,
The strangers wonder, all their worship now.

MINING NOTES.

The Spanish Dry Diggings, in Ell Dorado
county, are showing rich quartz.
The output of the Isabella Company, in
Alpine county, is beginning to look en-
couraging.
The California Copper mine, at Whisky
Diggings, Placer county, is to have steam
machinery.
The Calico mines, in San Bernardino
county, continue to show evidences of fine
bodies of ores.
Free-gold quartz finds in Del Norte and
Trinity counties are making that section of
the State happy.
The Plymouth Company is to erect an i'm
mense reservoir above Oleta, in Amador
county. 1t will cover $50 acres.
About 200 ounces of clean gold were
taken out of the Gold Hill mine, Calaveras
county, in five days time last month.
For the first time in its history the Am
ador Canal is short of water, and has seri-
ously checked mining in Amador county.
The Sierra Buttes mine paid out last
week $4,000 to parties who were damaged
by the breaking of the Sardine Lake dam
one year ago.
One day this week one pound of dirt
taken from the Juniper mine, at Hayden
Hill, Lassen county, was washed out care
fully and found to contain SIG 70 in gold.
The nickel mines recently found in
Churchill county, Nevada, are said to be
very rich, and, as mines of this mineral are
very rare, the value of the property is
simply beyond estimate.
The miners on the Klamath, in the dry
diggings, are very hopeful of good winter
for water. as they have had very poor
supply this year; in fact, have hardly
been able to do any mining at all.
There is in the Buelow Consolidated
claim, Nevada county, ledge eighty feet
wide and cropping out at the surface, that
promises good results. The ore is of a
greenish color and of slate formation.
We are informed by gentlemen from
Fresno Flats that there is not a quartz mill
now in operation in the Potter Ridge min.
ing district, owing to the scarcity of water.
This unusual scarcity is attributed to the
fact that the late rains melted all the
snow which usually supplies the mountain
streams in that vicinity. Fresno Repub-
