In the Okanogan country. In connection
with Il. 0. Andrews. he has recently bonded
two gold properties, four miles south of
Loorniston. The discoveries were made in
September last by two prospectors. Ben
Hedrick and w. r.. Redmond, in a new
locality, separate from the Palmer noun
tain group. Ihs claims are called the Red
Jacket and Little Falls.
Samples of the first ore taken from the
property were sent to Mr.. Wardner at Fair
haven. Drillings across the vein ran $3.50 in
gold, and q piece of the quartz ran S13I.
MIR. Wardner was determined at once to
look into the property ana Mr.. Andrews
went at once to look at it and the claims
were bonded within six weeks.
The prospects have NOT been deyeloped TO
any extent but tho surface showing was so
good that Msssrs. Wsrdner and Andrews
did not hesitate to invest. Open cuts have
been made in both locations to the extent
of twenty-five feet. The character of the
ore Is blue quartz, containing sulphurets
snd free gold. Assays from the mineral

90 IN gold, averaging the different 81; eaks

BANISHED BY THE CAR.

Experience of 3 Russian Exile in q Sibe
rian Penal Settlement.
Our worst trouble is want of food, says
writer in Free Russia. However hard ".
work at our fishing, however careful We are
never to lose a chance of obtaining any
kind of meat, all the same, in summer there
are times when we have to actually starve,
for in summer there is absolutely no meat
to be got; and to live constantly and ex-
clusively on fish not only affects one with
nausea, but with some people produces act
ual dsh-poisoning.
We have all come to the conclusion that
a sudden change from III ordinary diet to
an exclusive fish diet results in a peculiar
form of poisoning not yet known to science.
In winter when there is meat as we'll we all
eat the fish, but in summer the mere sight
of boiled fish affects many with nausea and
vomiting.
In summer we live on a very small quan-
tity of flour, a little milk from our W
cows, wild berries and the intermediate fish.
The worst lime of year is the beginning of
autumn. when large quantities of food
have to be stored up and the roads are not
properly frozen.
The COWS leave off giving milk, neither
nor live cattle are brought in
the only way out OF the difficulty wonld be
to "a to sleep for three weeks, like the
bears. But even at the best season of the
year we never have really enough to eat;
we are too poor for that. And even if we
were rich it would not help us; there is not
food enough in the place.
You can imagine how delightful it must
be to lie down hungry at night. to wake up
the next morning still hungrier, to wait
anxiously for the half-rations that 90 by
the name of dinner: after dinner to q, into
the kitchen and carefully gather up all the
bits-all the scrapings of pots and pans,
to strop one's belt tight for hunger
day after day. 1t is like the life of half.
sailors. wrecked on a desert island.
All our life is made up OF a Thousand
wants and hardships. Altogether
our housekeeping is very original; on the
one hand an-out-of-the-way Arctic hole
where we are nobody's business and nobody
,ares what VIC 10 or how we manage; on the
'ther, our stern %jailor, nature, who forces
to live quite in prison style, to sleep in
general barracks, to eat at a general mess
md so on.
If we did not submit to this We should
have died of cold and hunger before
low. Another feature of our life ia the
lard manual labor-labor as of a beast of
)urden--such as even the all-endurinp Rus. |
ian peasant has no idea of. For instance,
or two persons to drag a loaded barge
llong with towing ropes for forty miles is
'egarded here as the msrest trihe, and as
here are no sails here. hauling and rowing
ire the only means of navigation.
Then there is the autumn fishing, stand
nG knee deep in the water and floating ice,
md pulling at n frozen rope that cuts your
lands till the blood comes; then moving in
he deep swamp mud at the mercy of the
Mosquito, often without any food or any
rink but the water from the bog pools:
hen again tho hewing of trees in winter
nd in summer the towing of RATS forty
niles or more; and so on, indefinitely.

FRANK BURKE'S SQUEAL.
THE OWNER OF WANDA TELLS A
TALE OF WOE.
He Says McKinney's Great Victory Was
Dead Robbery-He Bitterly Denounces
the Judges at the Los Angeles District
Fair.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 26.-Frank
Burke, the owner of Wanda, has re-
turned from Los Angeles, where his
mare trotted in the free-for-all stake on
Saturday against Mckinney, a local
southern horse, Frank NJ. and Silas
Skinner. Mckinney was gtven the
race, and according to telegraphic re-
ports received in this city, the victory
was we'll earned and easily won. Mr..
Burke said today:
cit is cheaper to raise judges of trot-
ting than actual trotters; at Los Angeles
the judges are ready-made. Contrary
to the accepted rules of the National
Trotting association, Mckinney laid up
the first heat of Saturdays race, and
Frank M. beat him the second heat by a
nose, and the third heat by neck and
shoulders. This was apparent to the
most casual observer. Still the Judges
gave both heats to Mckinney. Before
the fourth heat, Wanda, who had been
palpably fouled by Mckinney, had her
ear, shoulder and leg badly cut through
Durfee's foul driving, and the
crowd, wko were savagely SYM
pathetic with the local horse,
threatened Billy Voget, the driver
of Wanda, with rough treatment if he
withdrew the mare, as they were anx-
ious to crow that the local champion
had beat Burke's celebrated mare.
The fourth heat was won by Frank M
by five lengths under "pull," but Dur
fee, who drove Mckinney, went
to the judges stand and COM
planned that Frank M. had fouled
him at the half-mile pole, although none
of the spectators had seen any sort of
bad driving in the heat. The Judges
gave the sheatg and race to Mckinney.
81 say Frank M. won the race in
three straight heats" continued Mr..
Burke, ''and the race was such a dead
robbery that no local owner will ever
send his horses again to the Queen City
OF the South"

WhaIars NIassacred.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.-Louis Duffy,
a fireman on board the steam whaler
Grampus, has arrived here from Ouna-
laska on the Mohican, and brings con-
hrmation of the news that the Gram
pus's crew were massacred by natives.
Duffy says he deserted the Grampus at
Port Clearance, July A, 1890, on account
of ill-treatment. Duffy spent nine
months among the natives at Cape
Prince of Wales, and saye three natives
from Point Barrow related how the crew
of the Grampus had abused native
women while the ship was fast in the
ice at the mouth of the Mackenzie river.
The husbands and friends of the women
attacked the ship-killing all but few
on board, and took complete possession
of the vessel.

Evans's Successor.

BosroN, Oct. 26.-In suit of equity
brought by Austin B. Cobey, to annul
the assignment OF Irving A. Evans q
Co., it is alleged that the firm is per-
fectly solvent. The partnership articles
were so drawn that Evans had right to
name his successor in the partnership.
1t is alleged that the appointment OF
Wilmot r. Evans as executor, by the
will, had the effect of creating him
partner in the firm.
Irving A. Evans & Co., the senior
member of which firm recently suicided,
assigned for the protection of their
creditors, to avoid litigation and dispose
of their assets to advantage. All the
Indebtedness of the Boston stock ex-
change has been settled, and nearly
everything on the New York stock ex-
change. The banks now holding the
obligations of the house are fully pro-
tected. About $3.50, 900 is due to banks,
but the collateral they hold aggregates
about $660,000. If all the individual
accounts due the house are collected,
there will be considerable surplus.

DUBLIN DYNAMITERS.
AN ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A M'CAR
THYITE PAPER.
A Bomb Exploded in Front of the Ofice
of the National Press - Windows
Broken, but No One Hurt-Parnellltes
Charged With the Crime.

DUBLIN, Oct. 26.- Great excitement was
caused this evening by an apparent at
tempt to blow up the Office of the Ma
tional Press, the McCarthyite organ. A
bomb fell in the area in front of the win
dows on Abbey street, breaking the
windows and badly damaging the edi-
torial rooms and basement. The win
dows in all the adjacent houses were
also broken. Fortunately no one was
injured. There is no clue yet to the
miscreant who threw the bomb.
Almost universal credit for the out
rage is given 10 the Parnellites. The re-
port of the explosion was heard dis
tinctly two miles away. The attention
of the watchman on duty at the time,
and who is said always to have been
on duty since the Parnellite threats OF
vengeance were uttered, was diverted by
sham fight between two men in the
vicinity of the National Press building.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-In the supreme
court today, the government moved to
advance the following cases:
The United States vs.. the Western

question at issue is whether or not the
government should be charged for mes

within the thirty-mile indemnity limits
of the Atlantic and Pacific railroad
comes within thirty miles OF the limit
of the Southern Pacific Railroad com
pany whose grant is antedated by thai

A. H. Garland, ex-attorney-ge general,
in the United States supreme court, to-
day, moved the advancement of the i'm
portant and interesting case of the Ro-
man Catholic bishop of Nisqually
against John Gibbs, T. M. Anderson,
r. T. Yeatman aud the United States.
BY this suit the bishop seeks to secure
title to some 430 acres of land compris-
ing the United States military reserva-
tion at Vancouver, Wash. The land is
now worth over half a million dollars.
AT the time Oregon territory.was organ.
lied the Catholic church had mission
at this place, by permission of the Hud-
son Bay company, which had its prin-
cipal trading station at Vancouver.
The organic act of Oregon confirmed the
title to not exceeding $40 acres to re.
ligious societies occupying land as mis-
sionary stations. Under this act the
bishop claims this whole section, while
the United States contends that the
Catholic church merely had permission
from the Hudson Bay company to oc
cupy small tract for religious purposes
and had no title to land except half an
acre which had been allowed it,
