More Gold.

Chicago Mining Review: It is said
that the discovery Of gold in Hondu-
a is likely TO prove as important a
one as any Of the great placer dis
tricts OF California. The new fields
is in the eastern portion of the repub-
lie Of Honduras, and about $50 miles
from the Atlantic coast and adjacent
waters Of the Guayope river. A par
ty Of prospeetors recently inspected q
stream and gravel bed for nearly fifty
miles, and found scores of placers
where the gravel gives from 10 to 10
cents to the pan. They have begun
regular mining, however, in a place
where, after much toll, they succeed
ed in turning the river from its native
bed. Here tLey dug down and are
sluicing out from ST to $40 per cubic
yard. The yield is fully equal to that
of the best placer diggings of Califor-

From Whence the Cayase Came,

From whence the name caylso, (pro-
nounced ky-use) applied to the native
Montana horse originated, Is probably 3
mystery to the majority Of car readers.
We notice the following in the husband
man, written by a correspondent which
throws some light upon the subject:
sFirst, the Cayuse derives his name from
the Cayusa Indians, whose reservation in
eastern Oregon and joining Washington
territory, contained large bands Of cayus-
es, nine-tenths Of which were the horses
used and owned in Montana in early days
for all purposes. They were bred and
raised in a premiscous manner, hence
their ~degenerated condition. But when
raised by white men and broken at the
age of three years, make very serTiceabie
horses, and will sometimes attain the
height of fifteen hands and weigh from
ten to eleven hundred pounds; and when
properly managed are very good team
horses, being exceedingly hardy, and
have been known to haul an average of
1000 pounds to the horse for long dis
lance without the expense Of shoaing or
feed, working hard all day and hunting
their feed at night. then after working
hard all summer are tarnel oat to winter
in the hills"

OF Interest to Sheep Growers.

Bradstreet's Journal, last issue, sums
up wool prospects as follows: Several
influences are at work to check sales of
wool, and the condition Of the trade con-
tinues quiet in every particular. Manu-
facturers have not got over fearing pro-
longed labor disturbances, though in the
principal textile producing centers the
outlook is more favorable than a month
ago. While the future as regards wages
is doubtful, supplies for the mills are
naturally in light request. Such sales as
are made are apt to be on small orders to
supply present wants. In a short time,
moreover, dealers will begin to solicit
consignmeats Of this years clip, and from
now on they are not likely to consider it
important not to ~exaggeTate the strength
Of the market in order to keep the expec-
tations Of the producers within bounds.
On the whole, therefore, no immediate
change in tile state of trade can be reason
ably anticipated

In Search of New Cattle Fields.

Denver TIibune-Republican: The
ranges Of the west are claimed aud
occupied to such an extent that there
+ no longer opportunities for the in
PRODUCTION of large herds. One who
wishes now to engage in the business
must purchase a range and the herd
occupying it. This state Of affairs
has caused capitalists to look else
where for cgttle-grow country. Long
ing eyes are turnedtoward the islands
in the Pacific, along the coast Of
Alaska, which Lieut.. Schwatka pro-
nounees the best cattle country in the
world. Others are studying the pam
pas countries OF South America, and
still others are attracted to Old Me1i-
co. Some well known cattlemen of
Texas have engaged in the business
in Paraguay, and quite a number Of
Colorado cattlemen have invested in
Mexico,

Mr., Rose, one Of the trustees Of the
Sun River school distric, informs us that
the opposition manifest in the new school
house matter at Sun River, will likely de
feat it. It seems the Saa River district
has q surplus Of school money amounting
to about $4,000 in tha county treasury;
the law provides that this fund may be
expended in repairing school buildings
and for themaintsnance Of schools, but &C
cording to the Interpretation OF lawyers
does not provide for the erection OF new
school buildings. Not understanding the
meaning Of the law governing the fuad,
and believing that it Was available fer
building purposes, and the residents OF
the village of Sun River feeling the need
Of 2 larger and better school building, a
special election Sas held soma few weeks
ago, and the proposition was carried With
but few dissenting ote Then the
trouble began; parties residing outside OF
ths town, not bsins provided with school
privileges, began to kick, and have kept
the matter SO thoroughly agitatsd ever
since, that at present Sun River has al
most given up all hopes Of having Q new
school building this year.

ional action was necessary, because
the line penetrates the Territory Of
Idaho. Il it We're wholly within
Washington Territory, a territorial
charter alone would be required, and
that could easily be secured at Olym-
pia from the territorial legislature.
This line contemplates the building
OF liz miles Over very fair grade from
the Mission to the South Fork of the
Cour d'Alene, and a very good grade
from Spokane Falls to the Cnur
d'Alene posts. There the company
expects to utilize boats on the Occur
d'AIene lake as far as the Mission at
present, and then build the road from
the Mission to the Cnur d'Alene
mines. To utilize the lake would
save the company the expense of
building forty miles out of the liz
miles this season.-Pioneer Press.

indemnify to Cinnamon.

Messrs. Cox and Rice Of the Sub
COMMITTEES of the House Foreign Al
fairs Committee, which has had con
sideration Of the subject Of Chinese
legislation have had an informal con-
ference upon the matter Of indemnity
to Cinnamon for injury to their prop
erty, by reason Of the recent out
breaks. Their talk was principally
in reference to the legal aspect OF the
case. TN some States there is no re-
dress against the damages by violence
OF a mob. while in others. as Califor-
MIA provision for payment is made,
In the claim for indemnity presented.
the damage occurred in the Territory
of Wyoming, and on that account the
general Government is perhaps o
liable. In our treaty with China, as
in the treaties with other nations, we
guarantee to the Chinese coming to
this country the same protection to
life and property as is extended to
our citizens. Again, whenever the
property Of Americans resident in
China has been destroyed, the Chinese
Government has always promptly
paid every claim for indemnity and
has made no objections as to the
amount demanded, and on this &C
count Cinnamon in this country
whose property has been destroyed
have an equitable right to ask for
damages. All these points We're dis
cussed but, as stated, in an informal
way.
