A NEW FIELD or GOLD.

Fort keogh Letter in the Chicago Tribune.
The Ceur D'Alene Mines are creating
almost a stampede in the West From
all l can gather genuine discovery has
been made, which is likely to prove
nearly as valuable as Alder Gulch. The
reports from the new dipgings are all
favorable and gold is found from the
grass roots down 10 bed rock, which is
at depth of eight feet from the surface.
The new mines are on Pritchard creek,
in Northwestern Idaho. They are dis

at the nearest point south thirty five
miles.
The mines were discovered by Mr.
Pritchard, who went from Butte Citv
Montana. He gave the name 10 Pritch.

undertake the Job.
The mining city is called EAGLE, and is
located on Pritchard creek. Eagle has
about 300 inhabitants already, and the
population is increasing at the rate of
fifty per day. A new town, Tone Ciiv.
has been laid out at Trout Creek and a
force of men are at work making road
TO the mines. A traveller just from that
point gives the following points: All
the lumber at the mines has to be cut by
hand with whip-saws, and lumber Is
worth 500 per 1000. Laboring men
were receiving S. per day to work on

A CYCLONE OUT FOR A SAIL,
Proof That the waterspout at Sea Becomes
Tornado on Land.
Alta Caiiroruo

During the great storm the other day
a phenomenon was observed at Huepe-
me. Vantura county, which possesses
some scientific interest in connection
with the origin of tornadoes, or, rs they
are popularity but crreneously called,
cyclones, which is a mystery as vet un-
explained. Between four and five o'clock
on the day mentioned waterspout was
observed at sea, travelling in the direc-
ton of town. 1t left the ocean behind
it seething track of foam and "as it
neared water was seen swirling in ii and
dark objects, either large fish, seals or
bundles of seaweeds.' On striking shore
the waterspouts changed into tornado,
tearing up weeds and small eucalyptus
trees, and finally struck house, which
it totoly demolished, the floor being car
ried sixty feet and dropped, without
harm to the occupants. Furniture was
smashed, trunks broken oped and con-
tents scattered and dishes left in frag-
ments. A second house stood in the
pathway of the terrible destroyer, but
luckily the rotating air column took one
of those sudden leaps upward which
are mentioned in reports of so many
Western tornadoes and the house escap,
ed uninjured.
These particulars are furnished by a
correspondent of the San Buer raventura
Fee Press and shows that it was a gen.
uine tornado which did the mischief
snch as abound in Kansas, Missouri and
other States of the Mississippi Valley
but Of smaller dimensions and inferior
destructiveness. But the interesting
circumstances are that this tornado. oc.

He was the property of Harry Watts,
who resides in Manhattan avenue, near

young il was noticed that he had habit
of swapping at and biting people, especi-

owner that the dog had merely playful
spirit and had no Intention of biting
As the dog became older, however, it
noticed that this habit of biting grow
upon him, until finally he was looked
upon as vicious. On Saturday night last
he bit Joseph Morrison, a resident of
Greenpoint, on the hand, inflictIng a Sc.
