via. Northern Pacific and Portland and
San Francisco, will have sharp competi
ton here in goods and machinery
for Chicago is out looking for
trade and St. Paul and Minneapolis are
sharpers on the direct route and Dacotah
Territory is out for share of the spoils.
Batter from there is sold here for 45 and
so cents per pound and our ranchers will
have to look out for their laurels or they
will get left by these trading hawkers.
Montana sends vegetables here and finds
ready sale for them, and potatoes and
onions from Dacota and Minnesota get
here at under prices. The mines are
turning out good and some very splendid
finds are reported in placer and quartz
and prospecting is more than active, it is
progressive and alluling, the hills aud
mountains are full of men daily looking
after fat things and many are found and
the camp booms up Merchants and
business men are daily looking for loca-
tons for biz. and stores go up everywhere
while the fac. stares many in the face
that the boys do get dry and too long be-
tween drinks, the saloons keep pace as
the advance goes on and the wayside inn
is found Gu all trails and throughfares,
and green covered tables is seen and the
rattle of checks is heard and the sound
of music goes on to sooth the feeling of
the night, who plays stud or leases the
tiger Dance houses are crowded and
the giddy waltz is done by painted beau
ties of ancient days, but the bars do
good business as the promenade ends
with draught of trail eye juice to cheer
and inebrlate till the wee sma' hours
when the cock should crow. Sunday the
dance goes on and the motley crowd is
seen around at all times and men do con
gregate there where the sound of revelry
is heard. New corners by the dozen are
met on all trails and capitalists are doing
the camp looking out for the good things
to invest in and miners are hopeful and
sanguine of the camp. Pritchard creek
is looming up AS safe standby for good
pay while the bars and hill diggings are
regarded as good things to have. All
the side gulches seem to pay well SO far,
and claims in them are held solid. Dream
gulch is short of water and Davis Il Co.
are digging ditch to take the surplus
water from Alder gulch, they will COM
plete it next week, if no bad luck, they
employed lJo men for two weeks at 81
per day on its construction, the first ditch
work Of note in camp. They intend to
extend it up Pritchard two mills and tap
the creek for 1000 inches of water
miners inches. Some excitement over
new find was had for day or two and
it is reported rich and very heavy in
galena, the lode is four feet wide and the
gold bearing is in the center, each side
being galena and looks well; finds occur
daily of vaIueable looking quartz Time
will certainly develop our camp into a
busy gold producing one to swell the
already increasing volume. The excite
ment over the old river channel continues
and claims are staked for some miles and
still looking for it. 1t seems to continue
up Pritchard creek or crosses to the south
side along the mountains towards the head
Of the South Fork. TELLER bchinu

Pisciculture in China.

The ingenious Chinese people had dis
covered the philosophy which underlies
fish, culture, as we'll as the best modes of
increasing their supplies of fish, long
before any European nation had dreamed
of taking action in the matter. A few
years ago party of fsher-folks from the
Celestial empire, on visit to Europe,
were exceedingly astonished at the
prices they had to pay for the fish they
were so fond of eating. They explained
that in China any person might purchase
for very small sum as much as might
serve family for weeks food. They
also mentioned that some fishes which
we reject, such as the octopus, were
much esteemed by the Chinese, who
cooked them carefully, and partook of
them with great relish. The capture of
the octopus, indeed, forms one of the
chief fishing industries of China, these
sea-monsters being taken in enormous
numbers at some of the Chinese fishing
stations, notably at Swataw. They are
preserved by being dried in the sun, and
then, after being packed IN tubs, they
are distributed to the consuming centres
OF the country. In the inland districts
of China there are also to be found
numerous fsh-ponds, where supplies of
the more popular sorts of fish are kept,
and fed for the market, These are grown
from ova generally bought from dealers,
who procure supplies of eggs from some
of the large rivers of the country. The
infant fish, it may be mentioned, are as
carefully tended ana fed as if they were
a flock of turkeys in the yard of Nor
folk farmer. In the opinion of the Chi
nese fishermen, who were interviewed by
the industrious Frank auckland, hun
dreds of thousands of fish annually die
of starvation; and if means could be
adopted for the feeding of tender fry,
fish of all kinds would become more
plentiful than at present, and we would
obtain them at cheaper rate. In China
the yollls of hens eggs are thrown into
the rivers and ponds, that kind of food
being eagerly devoured by the young
firb
