The Alps.


One cannot command any language
to convey en- adequate idea of their
magni6cence. You are standing far
below, gazing up to where the great
disc OF the glittering Alps cuts the
heavens, and drinking in the influence
of the silent scene around. Suddenly
an enormous mass CT snow and ice, In
itself mountain, seems to move; it
breaks from the topping outmost
mountain ridge of snow, where it is
hundreds Of feet in depth, and in its
first fall, Of perhaps 1000 feet, is
broken into millions Of fragments.
AS you first see the flash of distant
artillery by night, then hear the roar,
SO you may see the white flashing
mass majestically bowing, and hear
the astounding din. A cloud of dus-
ty, misty, dry snow rises into the air
from the concussion, forming a white
volume of feecy smoke, or mist light,
from the bosom of which thunders
forth the ice torrent in its second pro-
digious fall over the rocky battle
ments. The eye follows it delighted,
as it ploughs through the path
which preceding avaIanches have
worn, till it comes to the brink of q
vast ridge of rock, perhaps more than
1000 feet perpendicular. Then flows
the whole cataract over the gulf with
a still louder roar of echoing thunder.
Another fall of still greater depth en-
sues, over a second similar castellated
ridge. or reef in the face of the noun
tain, with an awful majestic slowness,
and a tremendous crash in its con-
cussion, awakening again the rever-
berating peals of thunder. Then the
torrent roars on to another similar
fall, till at length it reaches mighty
groove of snow and ice, like the slide
down the Pilatus, of which Playfair
has given so powerful and graphic
description. Here its progress is
slower, and last of all you listen to
the roar of the falling fragments as
they drop out of sight, with dead
weight, into the bottom of the gulf,
to rest there forever.

A Huge Placer scheme.
Pocatello Reporter.

1OcatellO NepOTltr.
The large placer grounds in Carl
600, Idaho, have gone into new
hands. Cariboo has been known a
long time as a good placer country,
but the claims were so divided up
that they could not be worked to ad-
vantage. Mr.. G. J. Clark took hold
of the matter three or four months ago
and bought out the owners, some hf-
teen In all. This done, he organized
in Chicago the American Placer
Company, composed of Chicago,
Michigan and Ohio men of large cap
ital. The capital stock was placed at
100000 shares at s16 each. Alfred
Kiddor, of Marquette, Michigan, is
president and w. B. Dalliba general
manager. The company owns 5000
acres of placer ground, extending
twelve miles along Mccoy creek,
and ranging from five to eight feet
deep. 1t samples from fifteen cents
up to a number of dollars per cubic
foot, some of the gravel close to bed
rock running up to nearly $40 per
ward. 1t was only few days ago
that the titles were all made clear
and the placers fully possessed by
the new company, and yet they have
800 men and sixty teams now making
ditch seven feet wide at the bot
tom, eleven at the top and five feet
deep. This ditch will be twelve
miles long and tapping various small
streams along the rim, also Jacknlfe
and Tin Cup creeks, will convey 7,oot
inches of water to the placers which
with the 1000 inches already sup
piled, will be ample to run a dozer
or fifteen giants three mouths IN
season. There is ample fall for al
purposes.

CAssIA COUNTY TIMES: News
reached Albion this week of the dis
covery of the unrecognizable re-
mains of human being near Amer
ican Falls. They had been almost
completely destroyed by fire. The
supposition is that the remains are
those of Bendigo Wilson, miner
who formerly resided at Albion. He
left here some time ago with Mr..
Bradley, with whom he had been en-
gagged in working some placer ground
on Snake river, between American
Falls and Blackfoot. He was last
seen in company with Mr.. Bradley,
who suddenly left for Nevada. We
understand there is strong suspicion
resting on Bradley in that section as
having committed the murder and
attempted to burn the remains, but,
knowing Mr.. Bradley, we cannot
give credence to the report. He
certainly is not a man that would
slay his partner for few paltry dol
lars. We would rather believe that
the murderer is the same party or
parties who have been for years past
committing similar murders on Snake
river. Mr.. Wilson was inoffensive
and harmless and the last man in the
world to get into a quarrel.

THE ball given last Wednesday in
Odd Fellows Hall, this place, by
friends of Mrs. Orchard and family,
was grand success. The hall was
filled with gay dancers, and every
body pronounced it one of the most
enjoyable dances ever given here.
The supper, at Mrs. Orchards restau-
rant, was par excellence. 1t is not
yet known just what the receipts were,
as a great many, who could not at
tend, bought tickets, thirty-four being
sold in Banner, and fifteen in Graham,
and only a few could attend from the
former place, and but one was in from
the latter. Forty-seven tickets
we're collected at the hall, SO that
number of couples were in atten-
dance.

AVALANCHE: When we say that
Mr. III. Crocheron of Sinker creek,
this county, presented us on Sunday
last with large, fresh strawberries
and roses, grown on his ranch within
sixteen miles of Silver City, during
the month of October, with only the
blue sky for covering. People in
the East, and even on the Pacific
Coast who chance to notice the men
tion of the fact, will be surprised,
but they need not be, as Owyhee
county has not only rich mines, but
as fine a climate as can be found
anywhere.

What Free Wool Means.

From Report of Ways and Means Committee,
"We say to the manufacturer we
have put wool on free list to enable
him to obtain foreign markets and
successfully compete with the foreign
manufacturer.
"We say to the laborer in the
factory We put wool on the free list SO
that it may be imported and he may
be employed to make the goods that
are now made by foreign labor and
imported into the United States.
1--WE say to the consumer we have
put wool on the free list that he may
have woolen goods cheaper.
"We say to the domestic wool.
grower we have put wool on the free
list to enable the manufacturer to i'm.
port foreign wool to mix with his OWE
and thus enlarge his market and
quicken the demand for the consump
ton of his wool while it lightens the
burden Of the taxpayer.
"The duty on wool now prevent,
nearly all the better classes of wooll
from coming into the country, when
the domestic product can only supply
about one-half the amount required
| for home cOnsumptiOn."
