TIE ALASKA BOON.

It is clear that a boom for Alaska is
being fixed up, says the Salt Lake
Tribune. Whether It will be upon
merit or whether the companies who
own the idle steamships on the coast
are engineering it, is not yet clear. A
good many shrewd miners who have
been there do not speak fatteringly
Of the country as a placer country
and it is clear that placer mines, if
found, could only be worked for a
few months in the year On the 9th
er hand, the monthly shipments of
gold from the quartz mine of Senator
Jones and Others, indicate that Alaska
may be the great quartz gold bearing
land of the future Humboldt locat-
ed the far north as the place where
the great mother deposits of the prec-
ious metals would be found, and
whether he merely guessed at the
fact, or reasoned from scientific data,
it does not matter, the thought has
haunted thousand minds, and twill
furnish the deciding reason for many
to go that way, if a boom shall really
be started. Privately, We believe, a
few good claims will be secured, but
that of every hundred men that &C
there next year, ninety will return In
the steerage next autumn.

CIJR D'ALENE ILACERS.

At no time within two years, says
the CoerT d'Alene Idaho) Record,
excepting about three months Of
winter, has there been, probably, less
than one thousand men prospecting
in the various districts comprising
the Coeur d'Alene mines, and it is
bossible that the limit Of the placer
district can now be defined, and the
gold producing creeks named First
IN size and value is Pritchard creek,
#hieh is known to contain gold in
paying quantities, for eight miles of
its length. Dream, Missoula. Dry
Nugget, Buckskin, Alder, Gold Run,
Conger, Wasp and Reedez Clutches
and Butte Greek, all tributaries Of
Pritchard, add about seven miles
Of good paying ground to the list.
Along the mountain ridge in which
the tributaries heap, lies large
deposit of old wash. This has been
opened in several places, and many
rich spots found, but owing to its
great depth and extent, it will be
many years before the wealth it con
tains can be gathered by man. Lying
between Dream and Daisy gulches,
the latter being a fork Of Eagle, is a
tract Of old wash a thousand miles in
extent. which must be in its centre
from four hundred to five hundred
feet in depth. A shaft over one hun
dred feet in depth was sunk on the
rim, on the Daisy side, and pay
found, but owing to bad air and the
amount Of water on the bedrock, the
work was necessarily suspended.
Four miles of the lower end Of Eagle
Greek, and two miles of one of its
heads, are known to contain pay.
This creek is supposed to contain
gold in paying quantities for its
entire length, for though it's channel
bed has never been reached, gold has
been found upon its rim wherever
touched. Daisy and Fancy gulches,
forks of this stream, have about wages
diggings, as has Lost Greek, which
runs into the north fork Of the Occur
dAlene. Across the divide to the
southwark are Trail Creek, which
pays we'll for three miles, Potosi
Gulch, which carries pay in the creek
and on bar running parallel with
the stream. for mile, and Placer and
Prospect gulches with about a mile
more Of rich ground There is also a
paying, bar running almost the entire
Iength of Trail Creek on the west
side. Beaver Creek like Eagle, has
not been prospected, but there can be
no doubt that it will pay from Pony
Gulch to its mouth. Pony, which
has two miles Of moderate pay, must
have given some gold to the main
stream, banks of old wash run parallel
with it for miles, which, with the rich
overflow from Trail must have depos-
tied enough of the precious metal in
Beaver to pay for mining it. Outside
of the Pritchard, Eagle and Beaver
districts, all the placer mining is but
an experiment. But our prospector5
who are digging holes in every gulch,
mountain and canyon for fifty miles
around, may yet open up new field
for mining enterprise.

TREES AND RAINFALL.

In the official report Of the geolog-
ical survey Of Wisconsin IS an account
Of the determinations made by DR.
J. NJ. Anders, Of the amount OF water
pumped from the earth by trees. He
finds hat the average exhalation from
soft, thin-leaved plants in clear wealth
er amounts to about one and q quar-
ter ounces troy per day of twelve
hours, for every square foot OF sur
face. Hence a moderate sized elm
raises and throws off seven and three
quarters tons Of water per dag. In
tie report the facts are applied to
what Is going on in America, where
certain inland fertile districts are be-
coming converted into deserts by
wholesale clearings, and in other
places, such as the plains of Colora-
20, where only five or six years of II
rigation and planting have already
produced measurable increase of
rainfall. It is maintained that the
deserts of Syra and Africa are the re-
suits of cutting down trees, and that
original luxuriance may be restored
by skillful replanting.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.

To abolish the tribal relations OF
the Indians, says the New York Her
aid, give them lands IN seyeralty. edu-
cate and civilize them and clothe them
with rights, duties and responsible
ties of citizenship, as advocated by
the committee that called on fresi-
dent Cleveland, would be a happy SO
luton of the Indian problem If it
were practicable to do it at once. But as
the President very sensibly pointed
out in his reply, there are serious diff
ficulties to be considered, and while
he is in sympathy with those who
have the peace and welfare Of the In
dams at heart, he does not overlook
the fact that reform SO radical can
not be wrought in q day. The Indian
policy of the government may be
steadily improved, but the proposed
millennium can be approached only by
gradual processes or stages.

ANOTHER Rebellion.

A special from Montreal says. The
best judges of the Indians, appear to
think there will be another rebellion
il the Northwest in the spring. There
is. too, some fear that the Half breeds
who went to Montana after the Riel
rebellion, may stir up sympathy there
among the American Indians and
Half-breeds, and the fact that the
Canadian government is not recalling
the two batteries Of Canadian Regu-
lars that went to the Northwest in the
spring, lends color to the rumor that
the Cabinet is in possession Of secret
information which leads TO the belief
that the danger is not yet over. It is
thought. that if the Indians rise again
they will confine their operations t.
the south of the Canadian Pacific
railway. as they will then be nearer
the American border, and be in a
country where there are plenty Of
cattle.

and the New York market was report
ed some weeks since, returned from a
trip to Butte last Saturday. Alr. Pow
ers expresses himself as being highly
pleased and surprised at the advance
ment that has been madein the horse
breeding industry in Montana, and
believes that the Territory will soon
eclipse Kentucky as a producer OF
fine horses. OF the Belmont Park
stock he speaks in high praise. and it
is understood that Mr. W. FL. Ray
mond intends shipping some forty or
fifty head as starter. The sales Of
the house which MIR. Powers repre-
sents-the American Horse Institute,
owned by Peter G. Kellogg average
over one hundred and fifty thousand
head per annum, and the most noted
horsemen in the Union are numbered
among its customers, while its sup
plies are drawn from all parts of the
country. He speaks most encourag
ingly outlook Of the horse trade here
and says that he sees no reason why
it should not become one Of our most
important businesses. Mr.. Powers

than 7GO bison or buffalo left on the

all that are left by hide hunters. Since
my return home I have heard that
twenty head of bison were killed in
