Jackson Park Not Good Site for the
Worlds Fair.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The Worlds fair d.
rectory last night received report from
Frederick Law Olmstead, the engineer,
brought here from Boston to ascertain
what space could be made available tor ex-
position buildings at Jackson park with
out interfering with park purposes.
Olmstead reported that the ground ex-
amined by him would be adapted only for
such buildings as could be removed after
the fair. Furthermore, the park, he de-
clared, would be unsuitable for the live
stock exhibit or for showing agricultural
implements in operation. He explained
that the Jackson park site is swamp and
hat to utilize mo re than liz acres of floor
space for even temporary buildings
would seriously interfere with the plans of
the park commission for a permanent levee
and bayou system with which to resist the
encroachment of Lake Michigan. The
park, however. would give satisfactory
sites for halls for machinery, for railroads,
for electric and mining exhibitions, and
for such objects as are included in what is
generally called the main exhibition build
ing. They would be suitable for agricul-
tural halls.
After the directors adjourned. one Of
them, ex-Congressman George r. Davis,
said Olmstead's report had given Jackson
park scientific knockout. 1t is announced
that the fair directors will within a few
days hold special meeting to consider the
situation

Timber, Coal and Springs OF Boilir

Timber, Coal and Springs OF Boiling
Water.
PoRT CRESCENT, Aug. 13.-Charles Jones
and Arthur Moore, who left here some forty
days ago for trip through the Olympics,
have returned. They do not report having
discovered anything of startling nature,
neither did they find any valuable mineral
deposits-at least they would not state that
they did. They travelled over considera-
bic portion of the country. but failed to
ind any fertile valleys. They found
plenty of good timber, and no mountain
ranges to the coast on the west.
Mr.. Jones states that the indications are
very favorable for large bed of coal in
the range of mountains adjacent to Lake
Crescent, which lies back of this place
about seven miles-so much SO. in fact,
that he thinks the whole range could be
worked successfully and profitably.
They ran across series of bench lands
in their travels, covering an area of four
miles long by one and q half miles wide,
which they claim is the best in the state.
They also found three hot springs close
to banks of the Solduck river, the farthest
being only thirty feet away from the
river. They say the water is so hot in
these springs that one cannot keep their
hand in it but a few seconds at a time.
They did very little prospecting. but
both are firm in their belief that plenty of
the precious metals abound in the sides of
the mountains. They state that they made
numerous attempts at prospecting, but.
finding the hunting and fishing SO tempt
ing, they abandoned the former and put
their time in at the latter. They tell the
fish story of the season as far as this
place is concerned, claiming that the fish
mountain trout-are so large that the two
of them made nine separate and distinct
meals off of one fish.
Mr.. Jones has taken up . ranch about
eighteen miles south of this place on the
Solduck river, where three of its branches
fork, and, being all bottom land. is very
rich and fertile. Both intend to return
this week, and will be accompanied by
others They will spend their time princi-
pally in prospecting.

The Price in London Governs the Minis
Purchases Of s1.14 and

WASHINGTON CrTY, Aug. 13.-For some
reason treasury officials are disposed to be
very secret and mysterious in regard
to today's silver transactions. They refuse
absolutely to give out any information
in regard to offers for the sale of silver bull
lion to the government, which may have
been received by the department
under the circular of August 1.
Director of the Mint Leach
this afternoon gave out the following
statement in regard to silver purchases
with the remark that, .'This is all there is
to say about it, The London quotation
was 81 Il pence: sterling exchange, S4.S7<.
The purchases for the Philadelphia,
San Francisco and New Orleans
minis were 10000 ounces. He
declined absolutely to say anything in
regard to the price paid. 1t was learned
from another source that the purchases
were at rates slightly in excess of the Lon
don prices, 5IA pence, and its New York
equivalent, $ll2.54. and that the offers
aggregated nearly 100000 ounces.
New York, Aug. 12.--The action of the
secretary of the treasury was looked for
anxiously in Wall street today as
il was thought the policy of
the government would be outlined by
the development today. 1t was ascer-
tanned that offers in the neighborhood of

silver Bill by Teller.

WASHINGTON Cry, Aug. l3.-Sena tor
Teller introduced new silver bill in the
shape OF an amendment to the bill to dis
continue the coinage of So and $40 gold
pieces and Scent masterpieces.
The bill differs from the present law
principally in that il requires continued
monthly coinage of 100000 ounces of sill
yer into standard dollars, and strikes out
the provision that that tate of coinage shall
be continued until July, 1891. This does
away with the discretion given to the Sec
rotary of the treasury to redeem treasury
notes issued in payment of bullion, either
in gold or silver. and provides for the free
coinage of silver when the market price of
81. 25 grains reached 81.
