Placers at the Head of the Snake.


X. P. Plowman, of Haley, says the
InterIdaHo, who has been to the head of
Snake river with prospecting party, and
returned last week, says he thinks the
mines in that vicinity are good. The bars
average in depth of gravel from three to
fifteen or twenty feet and prospect very
well. He thinks it will be a large mining
locality. The low bars are easily covered
with water by bitches. He says there is
good natural wagon road nearly all the
way to the mines. About twenty-five
miles through the Teton Pass will require
some grading, which, once completed,
wagons can get into the mines There is
vast quantity of cement gravel in these
mines that prospects well, but Mr.. Plow-
man says it will require crushing the
same as quartz to make it pay. He
thinks the mines can be worked from the
first of May until the first of November.
The climate, he thinks, is about the same
as that of the Boise Basin.

Ceur DAlene's Gigantic ENTERPRISE.

The Murray Sun, in speaking of the
great work now under way in the mines
OF C@ur d'Alene, says: "The bedrock
tiume now being dug on Prichard Creek
is the most gigantic enterprise ever I'M
dertaken in the history of placer mining.
There has been nothing to approach it in
California, Australia, Colorado or Mon
tana, and, as it develops from day to dav,
all previous methods OF gravel mining
ar, are dwaried into puny insignifcance. To
the Old '49er, whose attachment for water
bitches and hose is almost second nature.
and who mined from Mexico to the Brit
lsh possessions, the project is incompre
henslble. But the men who have inter
ested themselves in this enterprise evil
IDENTIFY know what they have undertaken.
They have new ideas and new methods
which will completely revolutionize the
systems handed down to us by the argo-
nauts. They mine on the broad-guage
principle, using modern appliances. and
IN the places OF the expensive bitches
will employ steam power to move the
earth and rob it of it's riches. 1t is the
dawn OF Ceur d'Alene's prosperity, and
the golden wealth that will be uncovered
Will stagger the world"

Enormous shipments of grain will he

Pacific Railroad. This years phenomenal
yield OF grain in the Pacific coast CONN.,

Changes in Jerusalem.

There is probably no town in the do
minions OF the Sultan which has under
gone more change during the last few years
than Jerusalem. Owing to increased IA
cilities of travel, the pigrimages both of
the Greek and Latin Churches have been
more numerous. A new feature is that
some of the richer pilgrims from time to
time establish themselves here This is
especially the case with the Russian mem
bers OF the Greek Church. The influx of
Jews has also been increasing to a remark
able extent. The Protestant sects are con-
stantly charging the field of their opera
tons, and new charitable 3nd educational
establishments are springing up from year
10 year. An American society of Second
Adyentists has been resident here for some
years, while religious cranks find in the
Holy City an appropriate dwelling place for
reasons known only to themselves. The
result of all this is that whereas when
l was last here, six years ago, only
very few houses had been built
on the Jaffa road outside the walls
OF the town, where now there Is
an extensive and constantly increas-
ing Frank suburb. The price of land
has risen 80 per cent. and is still constantly
rising New hotels and shops have been
opened 10 meet the increasing demand.
WITHIN the last twenty years the popula-
ton of the Holy City has certainly doubled,
the increase consisting entirely of Jews
and Christians. Jerusalem is probably the
only city i'll the world where the same
amount of capital and Enterprises expend-
ed on objects which are in no sense re
munerative, while in proportion TO its size
there Is none where larger sum is an
nually given away, either III the form of
charitable or religious donations. Nothing
strikes one more than the proportion of
buildings having some sort of public char
acter or other TO private dwellings,, and
these buildings are constantly increasing.
This year the estimated expenditure of the
Greek and Latin churches will be over
100000 for building purposes alone. The
number of Russian pilgrims who visit Je-
rusalem annually is about $780, and it is
constantly increasing. They are all ac-
eommodated in the extensive premises he
longing to the Russian Government, in the
center of which the Russian Consulate is
situated and which forms 8 sort of Russian
suburb to the Holy City.-[N. Y. Sun.

INTELLECT VS.. FEcUNDIrY.-A study OF
statistical tables has made it apparent that
human life is decreasing in quantity but
improving in quality-at least in some
parts of the world. An astonishing falling
OFF in the births in France has taken place
since the beginning of the century, the
average number of children per marriage
having been reduced nearly one-fourth.
But the average life has increased in length
about one-sixth. Similar results are OBJ
tanned in England, Austria, Prussia and
other countries of advanced civilization.
Among inferior races births are more
numerous, and life is shorter. In general
the lower species of plants and animals are
more fertile than the higher The female
of the white ant lays so eggs per minute q
queen bee from 5000 to 5000 eggs annual
". In vertebrates fecundity diminishes as
