THAT "VORTEX,"
Mr. Ah!strOm Intimates that there are
Plenty who Believe In 1t.

Charles Ahlstrom, the photo
grapher, called at the TIMES office,
this morning, and claimed that the
statement concerning him in last
nights TINES was incorrect in
this, that he did not apply to the
Probate Judge and the District
Attorney to have Mrs. Rothrock
arrested. Hc did go to the Court,
house to see about the matter, but
there was no one in the District
Attorneys Office. a few days later
he called on Mrs. Rothrock in Belle
vue, in company with Mr.. Huntsman,
when she offered him his $50, which
he refused.
"But how about the vortex of the
universal vital principle, Mr.. ALL
strom??" queried the reporter. "Oh!
that's all righ,!' he replied. "There
are 100000 of people in the
United States, and hundreds of them
will swear that it has cured them.
So that although you may not be-
lievc in it there are others who do

TIE RED CLOUD.

Its Price Raised 10 $4,000, with a
Probability Of Its Going to 100000
within Month.
One of the Porter Brothers, owners
Of the Red Cloud mine, in Narrow
Gauge gulch, Deer Creek, stated to a
ZINES reporter, this morning, that
during the ensuing 80 days the
price of the property would be
$75,OOO-an increase of $4,000 over
that asked Of Mr.. Venable up to last
Tuesday. Mr.. Porter also said that
the lower tunnel had already cut
through one of the two ore. cLutes
aud was now within so or 60 feet of
the point where the other chute should
be found. If, rs is expected, this
second chute continues to the tunnel
level, 100000 will be the price
and the owne,s will not care much
whether they sell or not, either.
The TINES would like to see the
Porter Brothers and Mason keep the
Red Cloud and work it for all it is
worth, as it Is credibly informed that
there is over 100000 in sight already.

THE COUNTY RECORDS,
They Will Soon Require an Addition
to the Courthouse.

Another large book rack is being
put in the County Recorders office.
This will afford room for just about
one years records, and in another
year or so a similar rack will have to
be put in, and two or three years
hence the records will require an ad.
dition to the courthouse.
The county records are increasing
at rapid rate. During the past FIVE
years over 100 books-many of them
of 600 pages each have been filled,
making a record of over 10000 To-
cations and transfers of real and per.
sonal property. There are 10 volumes
OF quartz claim records, the trans
actions in this line alone aggregating
over 1000; while there are said to be
800 water-righ,s and 500 place,
claims on record.
All that Alturas needs to prosper
and develop is more population

experimenting when your lungs are in
danger. Consumption always seems at
first only cold. DO not permit any
dealer to impose upon you with some
imitation of DR.. Kings New Discovery

he can make more profit he may tell you
he has something just as good, or just the
same. Don't be deceived but insist

A Prominent Democratic Organ Sees
Some Good in a Republican Leader.
Portland Orcgonianl
Among the newspapers heretofore
most extreme and unrelenting in their
attacks on Mr.. Blaine, among those
most bitter in their accusations OF
dishonesty and corruption against
him, has been the New York Herald
1t says:
We part from Mr.. Blaine on his
withdrawal from the canvass with
entire court esy and good will. In
the retirement and recreation he
seeks he has our best wishes for his
happiness. He is too young a man
even in this country Of young men to
think of final withdrawal from pub
lie affairs.
Why the Herald should wish so
corrupt a man as it has declared Mr.
Blaine to be not to withdraw from
public affairs is an enigma, or would
be an enigma, were it not apparent
that the Herald knows that its &C
cusations against him were untrue.
The same paper also now pays to Mr.
Blaine this remarkable tribute:
"The singular personal attractions OF
Mr. Blaine; the alnrtness and audacit,
of his intellect; bis skill in discover.
ing the manageable points of poll
tics ibis innate knowledge of the work
ines of the government since the war
the tranquility of his genus; the
fact that as leader he was without
enmities, friendships, gratitude or
fear; his absolute command of his
party, looking upon rivals and
aspirants only as SO many chess mer
IN the great game of which he wa:
master; and added to these the elo
quence Of Henry Clay and the keen,
persistent business sense of Thurlow
Weed-all combined to make Mr.
Blaine, so long as he remained ir
republican leadership, like Mr.. Nc
Gregor in the novel. Wherever he
sat was the head of the table"

MONEY IN NEW YORK.

Bradstreet's, February %: Money
in the New York market has con-
tinued to loau at easy rates, aud the
supply of funds, in spite of the re-
newed tendency of the Treasury to
ward accumulation, is more than suf-
ficient to meet all requirements, par
ticularly in view of the continued
dullness of speculation. The slowness
with which Congress acts in providing
means to guard against the danger of
Treasury Accommodations is the subject
of much attention, and the appear

An Ancient Chair.

What is probably the most veneer
able piece of furniture in existence
has just been deposited in the British
Museum. 1t is the throne of Queen
Hatasu, who reigned in the Nile
Valley some 1900 before Christ and
% wears before Moses. This now
dilapiaa,ed object seems to be made
of lignum vit;e, the carvings Of the
legs being inlaid with gold, and those
of the back with silver.
