1t is getting more and more
evident that if the people of
Camas Prairie want railroad
they can get it by raising a
subsidy of money or wheat.
Subsidy may be only another
name for blood-moneyj but il
sometimes pays to pay it. OF
this, the people are the best
judges. II we want a railroad
next year, let us go to work
after harvest and arrange to
canvass the Prairie and see
what sort of u bonus we can
raise for that purpose. We be-
lleye the result would be so
large as to surprise the most
sanguino. The columns of this
paper are open to suggestions
concerning this and kindred
enterprises. Movement of any
kind is better than stagnation
and decay. We are all grow
ing old and the country is
practically standing still.

which Mr.. Purcell is a partner.
The specimens are from a wash
boulder, and are very literally
streaked with native gold and
with more rare gold crystals.
These specimens are the more
unique from the fact that while
the Elk City basin is full Of
wash quartz, none Of it carries
a color of the yellow metal and
the only exception we have
known to this general rule ex-
lists III a mammoth boulder of
very highly crystalised quartz
on Henry Ternan placer
claim, across American river,
in which free gold is plainly
visible. The specimens pre-
scented us by Mr.. Purcell con
tain several dollars worth of
the royal metal, and apart from
their intrinsic value. we prize
them the more highly because
they are a gift from one who
endured with us the vicisitudes
and hardships Of pioneer life
in the Occur d'Alcnes during
the memorable stampede to
that camp in the early winter
Of 1883.

Elk City, despite its draw
backs, is progressing slowly
towards permanent prosperity.
The plain truth is that the
camp has real merit, and it
cannot forever remain bottled
up. We shall have much to say
about the camp hereafter, and
the proposed wagon road is, Of
course, a standing subject Of
discussion. The Red River
bedrock Aume enterprise is to
be investigated by competent
engineers. A group Of claims
in the new Deadwood mount
ain quartz belt have been pur-
chased and Will be prospected
right away. Another import
ant sale of a quartz mine is to
be made to-day, Of which par

recently bonded is progressing
and showing satisfactory dew

won t make 50 very much diff
erence if the railroad don t
build to Camas Prairie right
away. The wagon road to Elk
will help hurry the railroad to

THE "GOLDEN FLEECE. .
Another Rich Strike in
the Warrcns Basin.
Quarts North DoJIar q Pound.


prospector and old-time friend
ofthe editor, arrived out over
the Melnor trail Sunday, and
lett on Mondays stage for
Portland. He left particulars
of the recent discovery Of a
very rich gold-bearing quartz
ledge by Ii. L. Randall and O.
Sumner. of the Weiscr coun-
try. The location Of the new
find is about mile east of the
old Ball arrastra, on Warrens
creek, above the town. 1t is
about eight inches wide, and
the same rich character Of rock
was struck in two places on
the ledge at distance Of twen-
~ feet apart, thus showing
the pocket to be much more
extensive than is generally the
ease in these rich ore chutes.
All the rock taken from the
ledge is worth several thou
sand dollars per ton, and some
of it is worth a dollar a pound.
Mr.Johnson says it is the rich
est gold quartz ever found in
Warrens, SO our readers can
imagine for themselves the
value of the find. It has been
named the Golden Fleece"
and already good deal of ore
has been taken out and will
be crushed this fall.
MIR. Randall has also been
working OH the Keystone this
summer and has had seven tons
of that ore run through the
Maynower mill which yielded
800 per ton. He is also inter
ested in the old Martinez and
other claims in the Warrens
basin, and he and his associ-
ates have done a good deal Of
energetic prospecting and de-
velopmentwo since they first
came to the camp. We hope
they will all realise handsome
ly as the result Of their labors.
Mr.. Johnson is himself the
discoverer of the Mayhower
anlne, pear &arrens, from which
much good ore has been taken
and which is now one Of the
standard mining properties Of
the Warrens basin. 1t is now
an incorporated property, and
accompany have erected on
it this summer q five stamp
mill, which has been running
steadily for the last three weeks
on good ore from the Mayaower
mine, and Mr.Johnson informs
us that the results are very
satisfactory, and that the pro-
perty is paying well. lie is
now on his way to Portland to
return with Mr.. C. 2. Church
and Mr.. Castor, the largest
stock holders, who will inspect
the property and arrange for
the further development of the
mine during the coming win
ter. At present fourteen men
are employed about the mine
and mill.
Mr.. johnson tells us that
although the camp is dull, it
Is still progressing, and the
bullion product is larger than
ever. Acknowledgements n.

3. Wiley is removing his mill
from its present location on
Steamboat creek to the Knott

with the biggest bar of bullion

value was very nearly forty
four-thousand dollars.
This was Mr.. Johnson's first
trip to Camas Prairie, and al
though he expected to find a
pretty country, from the glow
ing descriptions which the edi-
tor had been giving him for
years, yet the reality of it far
excelled his expectations, and
he says that Camas Prairie is

will be very prosperous by rea-
son of its having that best Of

The Durham Railroad Case.

The recent trial at Pittsboro which ex
cited so much interest was an action
brought by the town of Durham against
the North Carolina railroad and the
richmond and Danville railroad to re
cover or retain possession of SO much Ct
the right of way OF the defendants as
was covered by Peabody street, upon
which street the town alleged that it had
made considerable expenditures, and
upon which it had granted permission to
the Durham and Northern railroad COM
pany to lay its track.
The town claimed the street by con-
demnation, and by twenty years uses,
and also that the railroads had dedlcat-
ed it as q street.
There was no evidence of cOndemna
ton to go the jury, and the Judge de
cided that there was no legal evidence OF
twenty years occupation, and also that
| there was no evidence to go tie jury OF
| dedication upon the part or the North
| Carolina railrord, but allowed the queS-
tion of dedication by the Richmond and
| Danville railroad to go to the jury. In ad
| dition to the counsel for the defendants
mentioned heretofore, MessrS Schenck,
Busbee and Guthrie for the Richmond
and Danville and Graham for the North
Carolina. Hon. Jno. W. Morlng appeal
ed for the Richmond and Danvllle anC
made an effective argument. Ine YER
dict OF the jury was that there was nc
dedication on the part of the Richmont
aud Danville and plaintiff appealed.

SAM JONES In WILMINGTON.

Especial Cor of STATE CHRONICLE.)
| have attended the services Of Rev.
Sam P. Jones for ten days in Whining
ton, and | am convinced after a pro-
found study Of the man, his preaching,
his spirit, his work generally, that he IS
.he greatest, and grandest man upon the
American continent.
A man of these times, who can call to-
gether eight or ten thousand people
from three to four hundred miles around,
and hold them together under the most
scorching, sarcastic language against all
manner of sins committed by men and
women, for ten days in succession, IS a
power in human form, not seen on this
globe since the days of Jesus Christ.
During his labors in Wilmington, Sam
Jones shook the city like an earthquake
from center to circumference. He ran a
buzz saw through the center Of the Cape
Fear Club; he scorched and burned the
ninety saloons in the city, till the Mayor
did not have a case Of violation Of the
laws to adjust He attacked the dens OF
nfamy in the place till their inmates
poured into the meeting, weeping and
crying for mercy like chastised children.
He peeled all the hide from infdelio
dudes and dudines till their flesh was as
| nude as pealed orange; and he blowed
up atheism with the dynamite of gospe
truth and logic, till the fragmentary par
| ticles filled the air thick as thistle downs
| upon summer evenings breeze.
We sat upon the platform and said il
