BACK FROM ALASKA.
News of Fresh Discoveries, but
None of Jones River.

News of Fresh Discoveries, but
None of Jones River.
Chicago Tribune.
Lieut.. Frederick Schwatka has re-
turned from his recent trip into the in
terror of Alaska, and Is spending few
days with his friends in Des MOines, la.
He shows the effects of the trip, and is
sixty pounds reduced in flesh since
he left here in May. His party, in
Guiding DR.. Hayes, of the United
States Geological survey, and ten
natives left Juneau, Alaska, June 2.
They proceeded up the NakOu river
sixty miles, the journey requiring two
weeks on account of the SwiftneSS of
the current; thence across the country
eighty miles to lake which the natives
told them about. The lake is nearly 100
miles long and Is wide, and was named
by the party All Klain big lake.. They
then descended the Newberry river for
$50 miles. From Fort Selkirk they went
southwest 225 miles to what was sup
posed to be. a region in which
copper abOunded, but none was found,
Several weeks were spent in eX-
plOrinG the Copper river, described by
the lieutenant as one of the most turbu-
lent streams he had ever seen in his
travels. After ascending mountain
peaks in the interior, and taking a num-
Der of observations of peaks never be-
fore seen by white men, the descent of
the Copper river was made in canvas
boats for nearly 100 miles.
The lieutenant is pleased with his dis
cOveries, and thinks them of great geo.
graphical as we'll as geological value.
After visiting in Iowa a short time he
will go to New York city.

He Was Happy.

He had girl on his arm and was
hunting the "licence Office" says the
Detroit Free Press. When he found it
and had drawn uD alongside the clerks
desk, he chuckled a bit, and remarked,
nOddlng his head toward the young
lady: See this gal, mister; she's jest
the biggest fool in ten states, she is"
''She doesn't look it," responded the
gallant clerk, with a bow. "P'rapS
not; but she is, mister" The
girl gave him tender little
shake and told him to hush up. Listen
at her." he said to the clerk with a
chuckle; ''listen at her. Don't know
nOthin' bout herself at all, she don't.
Wants me to hush up; but 1 won't.
Say, mister, can't we get license here?"
"A marriage licenSe?" inquired the
clerk. That's what" he answered,
with confident pride. For you and
this young lady?" asked the clerk
again. You bet it amt no other,
mister" he said, slapping the
clerk across the shoulders. The clerk
made it out, handed it over, and took
the fee. Didn't tell you she was the
biggest fool IN ten states" he said. as he
stuck the license into his pocket. Look
at her, will you? Slick as whistle and
as purity as yearlin' calf. Got a 100
acre farm, too, in her own right, and
she's gOin' to marry teller like me.
Now say, mister, did you ever hear of
SIGH fool trick as that?" and he chuck
led till he shook all over.

of the straw in his mouth and
began munching away at it. The
horse was not to be done, how
ever, and held gamelv on to his
end. The picture was 50 oddly absurd
that the spectators burst out laughing.
Neither of the rivals paid the slightest
attention to the noise and kept on

The prodigal promise of coming min
eral greatness assured for Montana in
the flush days of her placer mines.
along in the early COS. has reached full
fruition, so far as fruition is possible
with the states still meager population.
From 1862 to 1879, inclusive, Montana
is only recognized in government stalls
tics as a producer of gold. though the
discovery of the yellow metal dates
back to 1852, ten years earlier, when
Francois Finlay,a half-breed trader. first
washed the gravel of Gold Creek, in
what is now Deer Lodge county. Finlay
worked at mining IN a desultOry way,
however, deriving little, if any, profit
frcm it. He was an active and ener-
gctic trader among the various Indian
tribes. and doubtless wealth came to
him easier from the traffic in furS
than from the toll incident to digging
for gold. Nevertheless, Finlay'S diScov-
cries resulted in considerable prospect
ing on the various rivers and their trib-
utaries, and in the years that followed
up to '62, Pioneer and Bismarck and
less important camps arose in the
wilderness. Besides Finlay, Angus
Mcdonald. James and Granville Stuart,
Thomas Adams, REESE Anderson, Henry

prominent among those Identified with
the infant industry at that time.
Then, in 1868, came Alder gulch, the
most extensive continuous body Of pay
dirt ever found in any country. For
the first three years following its dis
covcry history comedies that it produced
over $50. 900 in gold, or an average of
$10,OOO.G0O year. 1t has yielded not
less than S40.000,000 since.
The Alder gulch discoveries caused a
stampede to Montana, and by the close
of 1865 all the great depOsits.of gold had

GREAT IS AMERICA.
Eloquent Sermon by Prof.
Swing Upon the Subject
Of Thanks.
Duties Which Come to Man
With the Growth Of the
Republic.
The Future Must Provide the
Nation With Good
Citizens.
A Glowing Tribute to the
Greatest Nation on Earth
Today.

Last Sunday. at Chicago, Prof. Swing
preached at Central Music hall, his sub
iect being thanksgiving" The text
was: ''Bless the Lord, Oh my soul. p
PS. CHI. %.
He said: "Before this congregation
shall assemble again the Thanksgiving
day will have passed by. Each home
will load the hours with such thoughts
and happiness as come from family ties,
but there are in most minds two natures
or two forms of taste; the one asks for
home with its friends and merrlment- =
the other asks for some public words
and public general statements. To sat
iSfy the heart both forms of celebration
are demanded. Let US declare this Sun
day morning TO be part OF the Thanks
giving day, and let us. while we are all
in one room. thank God for the great
ness and goodness of the surrounding
scene.
ut is wonderful beyond expression
that the United States, nation only
little more than q hundred years old.
should now possess the honor of being
perhaps the greatest country in the
world. No one in England or France is
quite willing to admit the truth Of this
proposition. No one in this land need
insist upon the acceptance 10y England
or Europe Of this notion of American
supremacy.
The Wonderful Fact Remains
that here, composed of fOrty-four states,
lies an empire which at least comes
near being the most powerful of all
times. Alexander the Great once ruled
more millions, and Rome once governed
population much larger than our own,
but many OF these millions were only
idle, ignorant barbarians whose value
was little enhanced by their numbers.
In those times when Rome ruled a hun
dred millions, her power would
not have been lesSened had a fourth
of the number been presented
to some other conqueror or monarch.

PAN IN THE ORCHARD,

He carved flute of elder green,
And notched it well and true.
Then pursed his lips and puffed his cheeks
And merily he blew.
For 1t was springtime holiday,
a sun-tanned boy was he,
With russell freckles On his face
And patch upon his knee.
The apple boughs above him flung
Their tangled sprays on high,
With one dark. bristley blue-jay nest
Rough sketched against the sky.
He knew the secrets of the grass,
The burden of the hour
He saw the fierce, bluff bumblebee
Towse many clover flower.
Orphaned and poor as poor could be,
The years before him lay
Dark pillows of an unknown sea,
No lighthouse on the way.
And yet, and yet his elder flute
Could bring him comfort true;
He pursed his lips and pulled his chekes
And blew, and blew, and bl .w.

are In the hands Of corporations, and a
correct statement of the dividends they
have paid would be an interesting con
trlbutlOn TO mining statistics could
figures be obtained. This is impossible
from the fact that many mines, like the
Anaconda company, one of the greatest
producers of copper and silver in the
world, are close corporations, and never
make their output known.
The Indications are abundant that the
current year will be one of unprec-
edented activity in development and
production. Among these the most
significant is the construction OF rail
roads to mineral regions where opera
lions have been greatly retarded by the
lack of such facilities. The Northern
Pacihc company is building branch
from MissOua to the C9ur d'Alenes, in
Northern Idaho, to reach district of
lncalcuIable resources in gold and silver.
The Belt Mountain branch of the Great
Northern railway system has just been
completed from Great Falls 10 Monarch
to tap the Neihart and Barker districts,
which are known to be rich IN silver
bearing gaIena, but which have not
been highly productive in the past
owing to the almost prohibitory cost of
transportation.
OdStIe, MOntanaS wonderful carbon
ate camp, IS already making a record
for itself, and will contribute materially
to the years output. The Boston d
Montana Consolidated Copper and Sill
yer Mining company is erecting at
Great Falls one of the largest smelling
plants i'll the United States for the re-
ductiOn of the ores from their Butte
mine. This will aid greatly to increase
the production during the year.
Montana's entry into the sisterhood
of states has made the so-called "alien
law' dead letter. This admits of the
Investment of foreign capital III various
enterprises where the title to realty is
involved. The continued success of the
Drum LummOn mine has enabled pro-
motors to place properties on the Lon
don market with comparative ease. In
fact, all elements combine to make 1891
Montana'S banner year, and its close
will witness the state occupying its
rightful position as first in the list of
producers of the superior metals.

HO FOR THE DEsERTi

oh. no for the wild, woody Westi
Ye tender, come forth and invest;
Come fly no the flume
In the real estate boom
Among the financially blestl
Oh. no for this woolly, wild land
Of the lava beds, desert and sand,
Where the OK lies stark,
And the coyotes bark.
And the horse is too small for his brand
The brakeman rules over the train.
The sage brush is lord of the plain,
the prairie dog kneels
On the back of his heels,
Still patiently praying for rain.
So balmy and mild is the air
That the redskin needs only to wear
cool tomahawk
And handy scalp-lock,
With feather or two in his hair.
Then no for the desert so bleSt,
In the heart of the woody, wild West
Where all things consume
With perennial bloom
Ye tender. cSlne forth and invcst!
