THE NEW TOWNSHIPS
A Run on the Local Land Office
Monday by Anxious Home
steaders.

Monday was the busiest day the
clerks in the land office have had
for n long time. When the Office
was opened in the morning there
was u long line of people anxious to
file their papers on homestead
claims. All day long they kept
coming until the time for closing.
The occasion for this great rush Of
business was the announcement
made by Register Strong that he
would be ready Monday to receive

Recent Discovery OF OpalS Causes Land
TO Rise.
PULLMAN, Oct. 7.-Those who
have smiled at the excitement over
the opal discovery made between
this place and Moscow have been
somewhat surprised to hear from
our townsman. Mr.. a. Reaney, who
has halfsec.ion of land joining the
farm of Mr.. Leasure, that he had
sold thirty acres to Mr.. w. w.
Baker, the well-known capitalist of
Walla Walla, for S4, 900. Mr.. Baker
will have II camp established i'm
about a week and will spend several
thousand dollars in investigation.
That this discovery should so soon
begin to increase the price of real es.
tate Is a point of interest that is
more easily grasped by the farmers
in the neighborhood, who seem to
have been quite obtuse and skeptical
about there being anything more
valuable than dirt under the surface
over which they have been plowing
for wears. Land has taken n de-
cided jump, and property will be af-
fected for u considerable distance
from the original find" as there
are three wells, at least half mile
apart, In which fine specimens have
been found, signifyinR that the ex-
tent of the deposit Is considerable.
There have been two shafts sunk
to a depth of about twenty feet on
the school section, but they have
filled so rapidly with water that two
pumps working day and night have
scarcely decreased the flow. The
most interesting question now seems
to be, What Is the value of an opal
of the first water?

A List of Ninety-Eight Firms Filed
With the County Clerk.
The secretary of state, who is en-
ofliclo insurance commissioner, has
filed with the county clerk II list OF
the names of insurance companies
authorized to do business IN this

into effect June rs, 1890, requires
that every insurance company
doing business in this state shall
have capital of at least 500, 0D0,
$4,000 of which must be paid up.
All foreign companies must file
with the secretary OF state a bond
for 5000, 600. The list of com panies

over 6,000 900 bushels of wheat to say

FROM THE KOOTENAI
Some Interesting News Concerning
tho Numerous Rich Locations
In That Section.
The New Smeltor at Warm Springs
Will Be Ready to Start
This Woek.

William Alperson, who has just
returned from "a trip to the Kootenai
mining region, yesterday gave n
REVIEW reporter the following in
teresting items concerning some Of
the most important locations in
that section:
About twenty men are at work on
the Skyline, the well known Wheeler
claim, In the Warm Springs camp.
The work has reached IA depth OF $50
feet, which Is rs deep as 1t can be
carried until the hoisting and
pumping machinery, which are
now on the way, arrive. There are
dump, which will average 300
ounces of silver to the ton.
The United. which was recently
purchased by the 2evelstoke Smell
ter Company, Is showing some
splendid ore. 1t has q double COM
partment shaft, 4xll feet in the
clear, down forty feet. The ledge at
the bottom Is eight feet wide six
feet OF which goes about sixty
ounces of silver per ton and 60 per
cent. lead. The other two feet as
say away up In the thousands. q.
w. Adrian last week brought speci-
mons TO this city from the United
which assayed $4,000 per ton.
The Fourth, so named on account
of having been discovered on the
Fourth of July last, Is developing
into wonderful mine, and old
miners declare that 1t Is worth
quarter of million as IL now stands.
The Fourth was recently purchased
by Mr. Horne, of Duluth, Mimi,
for 80, 900.
John c. Davenport has let the
contract for sinking shaft fifty
on the Little Donald. The contrac-
tor has the hoist and pump in posi-
ton. This Is tho first machinery put
in In the camp.
There are great many claims
which would be able to ship large
amount of ore If there was any way
to ship 1t. With arsilroad from the
main line Of the Northern Pacific to
the Kootenai river such claims ~
the Neosha, Krao, Dellie, Union,
Highland, Asher and others will
ship from ten to forty tons per day.
A very important strike was re-
Gently made In the famous Blue
Belle to the cast and above the main
workings. A tunnel has been run
In eighty feet, penetrating an i'm
mense catbonate deposit apparent
ly an acre i'm extent. There IL said
to be ZOO feet of openings on the
Blue Belle lodge.
A force of n dozen men are at
work on the No. ]. They have
found the ledge which the former
owners lost a year ago and were
unable to find again. Some very
rich ore is being taken out.
The Washington Smeiting & Re-
filming Company are erecting a small
smelter, about twenty tons capacity,
about two miles up Woodbury. creek
from Warm Springs.

and out into the street. A wild
chase ensued, which resulted in the
bear escaping Into the east gulch.
A party consisting of M. Thiebod-
ian and family, and Charles How
ard, of Colorado Springs, Colo,
William Wilton, Edward Jones and
Herbert Dawson, of Denver, Colo.
reached this city yesterday
afternoon, says the Boise Statesman
of last Saturday. They came all the
way from Dcnver, Colo, by
team and are on their way to Ta-
coma, Wash.
The party are In the best of health
and spirits, and will undoubtedly
get through in about three weeks.
They have been on the road since
the first of August, and have trav-
eled over some of the best and SOME
of the worst portions of Wyoming
and Idaho. The trip has been one
continual round of pleasure and ex-
element. Several deer and large
number of rattlesnakes were killed.
Mr.. Wilton wears the skin of one of
these venomous reptiles around his
hat as "band.n AS tho rattles are
still on the skin, he does not lack
for music.
The gentlemen will remain here
until MnnIn,y
VIII continue on their way toward
the setting sun.
The Baker City Reveille, of Octo-
Der !, says: During the progress of
the heavy rain yesterday afternoon
the lightning played havoc in some
parts of the city. At the residence
of Officer John Shultz it entered the
roof of the main building, spreading
Its vivid blaze over the parlor, en-
veloping the occupants in its lurid
light. Mrs. Neal Hogahoon, who
had called upon Mrs. Shultz only n
few minutes before, was severely
hurt, but not, II IL supposed, so seri-
ously IA to endanger her life. The
paper of the room was completely
rent into fragments, the ceiling torn
from its lastenings, and the building
damaged In many places. Two boys
walking near the railroad track
were knocked speechless, but sus-
tanned no serious injuries. We do
not remember of ever hearing such
loud thunder and witnessing such
vivid lighting, during n long resi-
dence ON this coast.
About o'clock Tuesday after
noon, says the Boise City Statesman,
there was a terrific cloudburst at
the head of Warm Spring creek.
The burst occurred on the summit
of the range separating the waters
of Warm Spring creek from those of
Robie's gulch, II tributary of More's
creek, both of which streams sent
down huge volumes of waters,
More's creek was swollen out of Its
banks, and about O'Clock that
evening Boise river, opposite the
Warm Springs, was nearly as high
rs during the spring freshels.
The East Oregonian says: The
east-bound fast mail on the Union
Pacific was blockadcd last Thursday
by the usual sandstorm down the
Columbia. The wind blew gale,
and huge drifts of sand We're formed
on the track. The train finally
worried through, and arrived mt
Pendleton at 10 o'clock.
Ifnext winter is severe one, the
present trouble Is doubtless the pre-
cursor of another snow blockade as

"rHE good die young, and they whose

not apply to those men who die with
their boots on, because the men who are
killed always turn out to be yery bad
characters, while those who do tho shoot
ing are Invariably shown to be model
citizens and bully fellows In every par

coincidence. An opinion once prevailed

Should Soon he Done.

Tacoma Ledger: In many parts OF
the state settlers are anxiously waiting
to have the lands upon which they have
located surveyed. In some cases they
have defined their lines in advance of
the government surveys. The difficulty
In having these surveys made has been
serious drawback in the settlement OF
portions OF the state. 1t is to be hoped
that with the largo increase in the ap-
preparation for the surveys of public
land, for the year ending June 80, 1891,
the difficulty will soon be removed. Tho
state gets 5000, an increase of s65, 600
over the appropriation for last year.
With this amount the surveyor general
who desires to expedite the work, may
DO able to relieve the embarrassments Of
settlers.
