SAT- Lake Tribune hterrlee, Feb. 8.

Men are busy all around, although not
much work Is being done on the mines.
Men chopping wood earn from 81 to So q day
and building Is quite expansive Axe handles
sell for 81 apiece; coal oil SIS gallon, aud
Mr.. Knapp says he saw two men fighting over
The ownership of an old tin oil can, which
each wanted TO use as a water bucket. Flour
sells at $40 barrel, aud everything In pro-
portion. Lots sell from $50 to 5000, depend
lug upon location. One man, while drunk,
sold claim for $3.50, aud the purchaser,
called socks" said he would not take S.
600 for II. dog train came into the camp
week ago last Tuesday, and there was great
rejoicing over the event. Everybody Ia the
camp appeared tn be much elated to think
quadruped bad finally reached the place.
There Is not woman in the camp up to the
present time aud the first one that GENES In
will be given a lot.
Mr.. knapp's impression Of the camp Is q
very favorable one, but he thinks that II Is
too early TO 90 in just yet, as prospecting Is
almost impossible with the five feet of snow
now on the ground. He thinks the quartz
mines will prove better than the placers, and
that more quartz claims than placers claims
will eventually be located. He thinks the
prospects are good for permanent quartz
camp. Most, ii not all, of the placer claims
have been taken up In claims of twenty
acres each. On the 10th Of this mon th, next
Sunday. the miners intend holding meeting
to cut down the size of the claims and to ad-
just the amount of land that each man will
be entitled TO hold Tho meeting will also
decide how many town lots any Que man can
hold and make some condition necessary for
a man to maintain title to his land, such rs
erecting buildings within q certain time, etc.
The placer claims will probably be cut down
TO five or ten acres In extent, and no man
will be allowed to hold twenty acres In his
individual name. new recorder will also
be elected, as great dissatisfaction Is being
expressed with the present incumbent.
Trouble may arise from any attempt to sub
divide the claims already staked ont and
lively times are anticipated.

ueceivina a widow.

UTICA, N. Y, Feb. S.--A stranger claim
ing 10 live In San Jose, Cal, and to own
large silver mining interests there, married
wealthy widow near here named Mrs.
Amsrieus Holmes. The groom presented
his bride with diamond ear and finger rings,
gold watch and check for $4,000, en-.
dorsed by d. 0. Mills. The lady packed up
her effects to 60 to California, but suspected
her husband when he wanted to effect a loan
of $1,000. The groom disappeared. and
the watch and other jewelry proved to be
bogus, and Mills check worthless. The
bride has returned home, but her goods are
on the way to "Frisco."

THE problem OF the after sunset glow
which has puzzled the astronomers and me.
teorologists for some months, seems 1t last
to have been decisively solved. Prof. C. A.
Young, Of Princston, made the true guess,
and men Of science In Holland and Madrid
have confirmed IL By analysis Of substance
which the rain and snow brought down 70
the earth. The hypothesis Was, In sub
stance, y follows: This very unusual glow,
which has been visible In nearly all parts Of
The globe, must be due 10 something In the
earths atmosphere not usually there; that
something b probably Gne volcanic ash
from the great eruptions or lest summer In
the Javaness archipelago. Such . dust
would canse the glow, unquestIonably; II
would also cause Venus and the sun both TO
look green when near the horizon (as they
have appeared); and IL would gradually sat-
tie towaru the esrth's suresce BY the force Of
and susily Be brought quite
within our reach BY rain and snow. This
last stage 10 already begun (though. OF
course, much remains, and the glow con.
tinues), and m snalysia in Holland Of rain
which fell there on ths 18th Of December

Our advice to those who propose to swell the
stampede Is TO keep out of the mines until
May, for with the snow and high water to
contend against, there will be but lit lie &C.
tivity in the camp before June.

IT seems to be the impression among some
Of our contemporaries that striking the final
words, $50 help me, God, !" from the oath or
Affirmation required by the Constitution TO
be taken by officers, was advocated by the
sksptical members and contested by the be-
levers. The fact is, the clause was put
there BY IN oversight, and did not properly
belong there. The form Is complete without
IL. Then, when an oath 10 taken, $50 help
NE God" IL added; or, II an affirmation Is
taken, the words "under the pains and pen.
alties Of perjury" are added. We very much
suspect the discussion that was raised on the
proposition to correct the error was to have
little fun 1t the expense Of good old Free
Thinking Uncle Fergus, who first called
attention 10 the error.

not inclined to believe the statement that pro-
