C Dy an outpost OF infantry, he
completely routed them and brought
ten prisoners to the camp. and q few
days later held his ground for half an
hour. unsupported. save by his own
men. against an entire corps of the
enemy. His gallantry did not pass
unrewarded. Not only was the Cross
of the Legion Of Honor conferred on
him. but his name was three times
mentioned for exceptional bravery in
the order of the day. and his speedy
promotion to the rank of lieutenant
was generally regarded as a certainty.
At this j%uncture the unexpected
equalization of Metz was a severe blow
to him. and unwilling to accept COM
parative liberty on parole. he con-
ceived a project which. although ex-

$40, 900, 900 have hitherto been issued /;

no such thing as preferred stock and
that an attempt to cut off the so-called

the benefit Of earnings Of the o. r. & N.
will certainly fail.
Itls understood that the Willard board
Of directors of the o. and r., held their

It's said that this action Is also in direct
CONFLICT WITH THE LAWS
Of Oregon which provide that any stock
holder, creditor or other person interested
may have at all times acces to the books

The anti Willard party claim that the
evident purpose Of the Wizards pro-
ccedngs is to hamper the 0. r. & n, to
prevent it from building into the terri
tory claimed by the Northern Pacific, TO
divert business of the Northwest to the

The controversy may be the forcrunner
Of great railroad war, fought not only
in the field but in the courts. The
Northern Pacific is cutting into the

is retaliating by extending its lines to

AHO'8 FLOWER GOLD

j. S. Hunt, of Bliss, Idaho, who is
engaged in mining in the '.Aower gold''
placers at Salmon Falls on Snake river
recently impaired tho following informa
ton to an Oregonian reporter concerning
tho curions deposits Of the precious
metal in that region.
The gold, of which Mr.. Hunt has a
sample in vial, is literally as fine rs
flower, it takes, as he says. one hundred
colors to make a cent. Pacers of this
kind are found along the Snake river
from Blackfoos to pear Huntington, and
in the locality where his mine is situated
there has never been found a nugget as
big as Plus point. Notwithstanding
the dust like nature Of the gold, this
mine yield. about 81 900 per mouth.
The gravel 10 which it is found is
from twelve to thirty feet III depth. 1t
is worked by ground sluiciug the coarse
gravel being separated ard the fine al.
owed to run over hurlap cloths. The
ire sand and gold which collects on
hose cloths is then passed ever plates
oated With quicksilver, which takes up
be fue gold. There should be no
routle about saving the gold in the |

system, as it cannot be any finer than
the gold Mr.. Hunt has. The difficulty
probably would be to get plenty Of water
and to find sand with plenty Of gold in
it. The placers along Snake river can
only be worked in few places on account
of the impcssibility Of getting water on
them.
When asked how he supposed this
gold came to be so fine, Mr.. Hunt, who
is sn intellieen, gentleman, said he had
three theories, but he did not know
which was the right one, if any was. 1t
is possibly that at some time where this
flour gold is found was THE beach Of
scs, and the gold came there as it did on
any of the beaches Of this coast. An.
other theory was that glaciers coming
down from the north, grinding and
powdcrng everything before them, might
have ground up this gold on the way
and deposited it in this place. The third
theory is that tho gold was thrown out
by volcanoes in vaporized form and
settled in some lake 10 th. .hape Of gold
dust
1t is certainly a wonderful thing that
81 1000 worth Of such almost impalpablc
powder can be obtained per month from
among the sand aud gravel, and it is
almost as wonderful how anyone came to
discover that it was there. The man
who delves for this flower gold must
have realizing sense Of the old Scotch
proverb, many micklts'make muckIe.'"
