The Chicago Journal, in answer to a
correspondent, says:
The climate Of Oregon and Washing
ton territory, west Of the Cascade range
of mountains, is never severely cold,
even In mid-winter; but east of the
Cascades it is cold as ''Greenland's icy
mountains" all the winter. When we
were there, in September, it had not
rained in that region for three months,
and the people did not seem to think
strange of it. We were assured at
Portland and Puget Sound region that,
while their winter seasons are gener-
ally rainy, their summers and autumns
are apt to be dry and moderately warm,
With cool ocean breezes in the night
time. The farming lands Of that re-
gion are about as you find them in
other parts OF the country-some partly
timbered, others without timber, and,
as a rule, the soil is rich, being q dark
loan or alluvlum, with a clay subsoil
in the valleys and river bottoms, but
less fertile on the uplands. We saw
many varieties of apples and other
fruits, but cannot tell what ''kind" is
the o successful, They sell their
apples to the natives, and send some of
them to the Orient and to the islands
of the sea, getting fair prices for them.
'inhabitantsr are quite AZ 'tciyil-
lied" as they are in any other portion
of the United States, and much more
so than In some regions we could name
this side of the great mountains.

A New Mining District.

The Butte Inter-Mountain Of last
Monday contains AT interview with
Barney Roundabush, a miner who was
in the Cour d'Alene mountains a short
time ago, and who is now about to re-
turn there with a company of six men.
Describing the country, the formation,
ETC., Mr.. Roundabush says:
st is so densely timbered that it is
hard to travel in. A long time will
elapse before it will be fully prospected.
But there is n gulch that undoubtedly
contains gold in paying quantities for a
length of twelve or fourteen miles.
Every foot of 1t is taken up. Each
claim contains twenty acres. Bedrock
in the bottom of the gulch has not yet
been struck, though we are running a
drain for it. The gold so far discov-
cred comes from the rim rock. Some
of the ground pans from 81 to S. per
pan, but Of course it does not abound
everywhere, though only small sections
of ground at different places have been
prospected. From results so far
achieved, it is evident that what
ground has been worked is richer than
the Alder gulch diggings in '62, '63 and
'64, which averaged only five cents to
the pan. l was there during the flush
times. OF course, a comparison be-
tween old Alder and Pritchard gulches
10 uat nrapnutnrn h,t I nm 0nnHAanf
that if bedrock in the latter is found to
be as rich as rim rock indications rem
der tolerably certain, then old Alder
will have to look out for her laurels.
1 don't say this to incite a stampede,
and my advice to my friends is to stay
at home until spring, unless they can
go fully equipped for a long, hard siege
with bad weather. 1 am giving my
opinion only. There are now about
400 luen in the gulch and they are scat
tered along for a distance of ten or
twelve miles. Two towns have been
started, named Eagle City and Ian
sing, and a petition is now in circula.
tion for a postofice."
"What about the quality of the
gold2"
ut is good. 1t assays about S1S per
ounce. The biggest nugget yet discov
cred weighed a little over Sc. Most OF
the men there now are working with
pans. Some are making big money,
some only a stand-off. and some moth.
ing. Most of them are too poor to gel
lumber there for sluice boxes, and if 6
man has a good outfit and a few hun
dred dollars he a probably buy some
good ground now. 1t is no place for i
poor man. L think there may be {
whirlwind of excitement there mex
spring, but l may be mistaken, anc
bedrock may go back on u.s."
''Has any quartz been struck Their,
YETI"
"Yes. A few lodges have been taker
up which look well, but there is 8,
much timber on the hillsides that pros
pecting is very difficult, and beside
the snowfall is heavier in that country
than here. Its elevation is about 200
feet" ,

KEEP NorHING paoM morHEn

They sat at the spinning together
And they spun the fine white thread;
One lace was old and the other young
A golden and a silver head.
AT times the young voice broke in song
Ihat was wonderfully sweet:
And the mothers heart beat deep and calm
For her JOY was most complete.
There was many a holy lesson,
interviewer with silent prayer
Taught to her gentle, listening child
As they two sat spinning there.
And Of all that / speak, my darling,
From my older head and heart,
GOD gtveth me one last thing to say,
And with it thou shalt not part.
"Thou wilt listen to many voices,
And ah! woe that this must bel
The voice of praise and the voice Of love
Aud the voice Of hattery.
"But listen to me, my little one,
There's one thing that thou shalt fear
Let mover n word to my love be said
Which her mother may not hear.
\ matter how true, my darling one,
The words may seem to thee,
They are not fit for my child to hear
Ii they cannot be told to me.
III thou1t ever keep the young heart pure
And thy mothers heart from fear,
Bring all that is said to thee by day
AT night to thy mothers ear"

THE FUNERAL or MRS. STAR
HAWK.
Impressive V and Large At
tendance.

The funeral ~obsequies of Mrs. Spar
hawk yesterday, in the Episcopal
church, were of the most impressive
character. The church was more than
filed, a good many of the sympatbizing
friends being unable to get in. The
Episcopal burial service is one solemn
beauty. The choir, consisting of Mrs.
Glover, Miss Trabing, MIR. Haines and
Mr.. Bale, chanted the dirges with rare
sweetness, and those who had never
before heard the service left the church
profoundly impressed with the lesson
taught in contemplating death. The
principal lesson read by DR.. Rafter,
who conducted the service, was the ar
gument of the resurrection, and some
who thoroughly believe the scriptures as
the divine word, saw in it a deeper sig
n%iicance and a more distinct anchor of
hope than they had eve seen before.
All in the church passed by the coffin
to take the last look at the deceased.
The Pioneers association, about TWEEN
ty five in number, paid their respects to
the dead by walking at the head of the
funeral cortege. There were some fifty
or sixty vehicles in attendance, and is
believed to be the largest attended fun
eral that has as yet taken place in the

John McKusn, a we'll known gentle
IA Of Colorado, who is building a big
ditch north of here, has been in town
several days disposing of some of his
surplus wealth. He has looked upon
the wine when it was red a little too
often, and yesterday morning, after
drawing some 5000 from the bank, he
went to sleep in a saloon. When he
awoke not only his money but his watch
and chain, worth about 800, and his
overcoat and gloves we're gone. Later
in the day one of McKuen's workmen
sawSa~man with the overcoat and gloves
on, and told him to take them off. This
the man did, after some parley, and
went away. The workman notified
Officer Nolan, who Immediately started
out in search of the thieves. Officer
Thomson arrested one of them at the
depot, and the other was soon found.
when Mr.. Nolan took them in charge.
They were AL. Mackinray, a hackdriver
just discharged by w. R. Wightman,
and John Blackmore, a hitherto impe-
cunious parsonage.
On being searched about S75 in cash
and the watch and chain were found
on them. Blackmore also had an entire
new suit of clothes, although it was
known in the morning that he didn't
have a cent. Mackinray had the watch
and chain and said he had bought
them with money sent him by his
mother. Each accused the other of
giving him the money, and they would
have come to blows about it had not
the officers restrained them. They are
now held for trial.

NOT GONE FOREVER. y


Into the d OF mystery fitting
From this surf-beaten shore to a land far
way
Gone is the spirit, all sorrow forgetting,
or her who in sadness we follow to-day.
Not emblems OF mourning, sad symbols OF
sorrow.
Could picture the grief of the desolate heart,
When over her life fell the veil and the
shadow
And came the sad message, From her you
must part"
But let not the gloom OF the grave ne'er appal
you,
This is not death. tits the morning OF llfer
The soul has the VALLEY and shadow" passed
through,
She lives far removed from all care and all
strife.
To the loved ones who weep for the mother
departed
She whispers to them in their sorrow and
pain,
"oh, mourn not for me-be not broken
hearted;
In our great house I will meet you
again"
For him who to day mourns his chosen com.
panlon.
With whom he has Journeyed LOT many
long years
From the bloom and the flowers OF youths
sunny region.
On whose head the white most OF winter
appears.
There is comfort, as here in the gorge oflife's
foothills,
That lie at the base of the snowy divide.
He wanders along by its mountain born
rills-
She is with him in spirit and walks by his
side.
By the hand she will lead him across the
steep mountain
To the prairie that lies in perennial bloom
Where the waters of life ever now from tht
fountain,
To rest there forever, at peace and at home

whole story of to-day's wheat market, July
opening at 81 1885 this morning, sold on the
call this afternoon at 81 151S, the later options
having advanced in proportion. For several
days the bull parties, among whom
Robert Linbloom was most prominent have
been quiet but heavy buyers. Yesterday the
market resisted all further attempts to break
prices. When the shorts saw this they tool
fright, and the result was general stampede
with the result as stated above While the
most pronounced bears of previous days
whose names for prudential reasons we will
omit have covered at the advance, holders we
think. have realized pretty freely, and the
sharp advance established ought to, and prob
ably will, be followed by q temporary reaction,
