rwc yUBA NINE.

Development work at the Yuba mine
progresses steadily and the quantity and
quality OF ore uncovered during the past
Jew months is most gratifying to the
owners. As no statement Of the work
recently done has been Published, il may
not be amiss to mention here its charac.
ter and results.
The property is generally known as
the old American Flag mine and was
worked in the early 70's for milling ore,
the main shaft then reaching depth Of
about 1900 feet. As depth was attained
the ore changed in character to lead or
smelling ore, Of grade which at that
time, it was improbable to mine, and
work was suspended. The claim was at.
forwards forfeited, and relocated. and was
purchased by the present owners last
April. Before the sale the property was
under bond for some time during which,
the shaft was re-opened to the 9th level,
where the vein Of base ore formerly
abandoned. was found.
The vein Is contact assure. following
dyke Of porphyry. 1t strikes nearly
east and west, and dips southerly At an
angle Of ~. The porphyry varying
in thickness from to 100 feet. Two
separate and distinct veins Of ore are
now uncovered both lying north Of the
shaft. The first and main ore body,
which was reopened on the sth level,
is base sulphuret. assaying well in silver
however. This vein, on the 9th and 10th
levels has been developed for distance
Of about 100 feet east and west, and, by

depth Of about 300 feet from the sth
level. 1t 10 believed to extend to still

Mr.. George w. Fisher of Independence,
Kansas, heard racket out in the kitch.
en-, and going out to investigate the
cause, found that a large rattlesnake
had crawled into the kitchen and was
fastened in the handle of Jug in the
following manner: There were some
eggs and Jug on the floor when the
snake crawled into the house and it
swallowed one of the eggs. and as the
Jug was lying on its side, had crawled
through the handle as far as the egg he
had swallowed would admit, and finding
another egg convenient as he crawled
through the handle Of the jug, swallowed
that egg also, and as the egg was too
large to pass through the handle of the
Jug. Mr.. Snake was fastened so he could
neither move forward nor backward,
there being an egg inside Of him on

A SOLDIER
From Fort Yates Thinks the In
dians Can be Induced to
Sign the Treaty.
The Reasons Why Free Wool
Should be a Benefit to the
Country.
They May Sign the Trelty.

ABERDEEN, OAK, July ga SOL
der from Fort Yates, Standing Rock
agency, who arrived last night, gives
a more favorable account OF the pros
pect Of Indians signing the treaty
than has before been reported. He
states that on the 23rd Sitting Bull
and his band, numbering not over 200,
sbsented themselves, saying that they
must attend to their farming. He
thinks they will not return. The
proposition made by Judge Wright to
the Indians in his speech were that
in consideration of their signing the
treaty, the government would place
81, 600, 900 to the credit of the nation IN
some reliable hank within two years,
to be distributed by the Indian agents.
The Indians should receive 100000
head Of cattle during the next five
years, 81, 100000 worth Of agricultural
implements and 100000 worth of
seeds to aid them in farming. The
offers when communicated through
the half breed interpreter, were re-
ceived with grunts Of approval. Judge
Wright also stated that each man OF
Is years and over would vote yes or no
upon the proposition, and in the event
of acceptance, each would receive one
hundred and sixty acres in severality.
The soldier confirms the report
that Sitting Bull has little influ
ence with the nation, aud states
that Gsul, Running Antelope and
Rain-in-the-Fsce are Influential chief.
He also states that the eclipse of the
moon made deep impression upon
the minds Of the indians, favorable to
the treaty, and says the general opin-
ion at the agency is that the Indians
will finally accept. There is prospect
that the conference al Standing Rock
will last ten days longer.
