No Mineral on the Tukanon.

DAYTON, Oct 2S.-Ispeciall The PosTISTEL-
LIGENCER correspondent has recently visited the
Owsley mines, on the Tukanon, about twenty
one miles distant from Dayton. A great deal OF
work has been done il developing what The rrO-
prietor supposed was quartz ledge, bnt which,
on close inspection, proves to be nothing more
than q quarry OF blue limestone containing
small PARTICLES OF sulphQtes. When the ledge
was first discovered an assay of the rock was
made and II was found 70 contain sl4 10 the
ton in silver, but the mine owner supposed that
the rock went sl.49 10 the pound, which, OF
course would make il very valuable. News OF
the str .ks was sovn broadcast over the land and
considerable excitement was created. number
rushed in aad stakei off claims, majority OF
which prove 20 be nothing mora than groupings
OF basslt rock. So wild was the excitement
that g number OF placer claims were taken up,
although a color cannot be found within mile
OF the digEings. Ii is barely possible that some
good quartz ledGes may yet De found on the
Tukanon, as the indications of mineral are
strongly marked on the sur ace. Aside from
limestone and granite nothing Of value has yet
been discovered on the TGka1on.

Tried to Buuko a Steamboatman.

sTANwoop, Oct 28.-[Special. THE purser of
the steamer Munroe had a narrow escape from
being taken in by an amateur confidence man
Friday OF last week. Just before leaving the
wharf at Seattle commission merchant in
structed the purser 10 secure cargo of hops at
Stanwood that were consigned to him at Seat
tie. The hops, he told the purchaser, were the
property OF +. W. Koch, the we'll known rancher
of the Stillagaumish valley, and the above
named gentleman had just solp him the hops.
On the arrival OF the boat at Edmonds man
got aboard claiming TO DO T. ". Koch, and
arranged with the Munroe to transport the hops
to Seattle on the return trip. Before reaching
Stanwood the alleged Koch confded to the pur-
ser that he was short OF funds When he left
home few days before il was his intention to
dispose of the hops at Stanwood, but failing to
accomplish this he was obliged 10, continue on
to Seattle This unexpected trip had exhausted
his money and he would not only be obliged to
obtain credit for his fare, but wishei to borrow
SIS from the purser TO pay a livery and storage
bill at Stanwood. The purser consented TO lend
him the money and drew u? receipt Tor him TO
sign, but before paying over the money he be-
came suspicious and asked the man if he was
acquainted in S'anwood. The man replied that
be knew ". +. St0ckbridge, the townsite pro-
rrietor, but that Stockbridge was a sOn-of-a-gUn
and he did not care to have any dealings with
him The purser refused 10 give him the money
but gave him al order on the MUnrOe for his
livery and storage expenses. At Stanwood the
man disappeared, and the purser was not much
surprised to find that no hops awaited shipment
from here. On the return trip the purser learned
that the same person had borrowed - from
Hotel Keeper stewart at Edmonds, on the
strength OF the hop sale. 1t has since been
learned that the confidence man is Norwegian,
who, during the summer, has been employed
BY +. ". Koch, but had left that gentiemnan's

How John Shaw, of Wisconsin, and j ohm
shaw, of Massachusetts, Got Mixed.

TACOMA, Oct. 2S.-[Specal. Examiner sharp,
OF the sub-pension Office of san Francisco, has
just unraveled here what be claims to be the
most interesting pension case that has ever come
to him for examination. John Shaw, OF this
city, private in d company, Second Massachus-
etts heavy artillery, recently filed application
for pension. Further particulars were neces-
sary, and letter informing him of that fact fell
into the hands Of Comrade John Shaw, also OF
this city, who served in ID company, seventh
Wisconsin volunteers. Both Shaws served dur
ing the rebellion, and both reside in the south
ern part of this city, but had never met The
Wisconsin Shaw had also applied for pension,
and he replied to the letter asking for additional
particulars. He noted the mistake in the name
of his company, but thought it an oversight
Shaw of Wisconsin eventually got his pension
certificate, but Shaw of Massachusetts, later on
got the pension money-a draft for s24. The
Wisconsin veteran demanded satisfaction of his
attorney at Washington City, and of the govern
ment. and Examiner sharp, after several weeks
investigating, with the aid of Postmaster Hogue,
adjusted matters. Both. Shaws received their
mail at the general delivery window, and singu-
lar enough the chirography OF both was almost
similar.

to focus Rev. Thomson said today:
This is simply a movement in favor of the

the law and detrimental to the best in

citizens. Connected with it are nearly all the
prominent business men, few bankers and all
the clergymen except a few. The large churches
are friendly to the cause, and the Catholics are
unanimous in the matter.

SEAL CATCHERs DISCoURaCFD

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct 2s.-Sealing men are
very blue over the condition of the sealskiu
market this fall. The seal sa.es at London,

held on Monday and instead of sealskins being in
strong demand at high fgur-s the market
proved TO be overstocked. and the ruling quota
ton was about sl3. and at this price the only
business done was transacted. Eighteen ioll1rs
was the standard price last year and owing to
tae closing OF Bering sea, aud conse-
qnehtiy Light catch. it was expected
that the price would he at least $40
per SKIN. The loss to all in any way connected
with sealing will be heavy, and not to a few the
low prices will mean financial embarrassment.
Ihere ls little speculation in skins now. and
those who have made Il careful study of the
situation predict that next year a further drop
may be looked for. One prominent owner and
operator of the schooners goes so far as 10 saw
that If the sealskins bring S. net next year Il
will be an agreeable surprise This opinion is
shared by others equally competent to read the
signs Of the times. Buyers here have caIculsted
upon a curtaied catch a result OF the modus
VlVendl and have been accepting all skins offered
on arrival OF schOoners, giving an advance Of $l5
and even as high as si7 a skin. This necessi-
tates retunding in nearly every case and il is
now certain that this season every schooner
securing less than 1000 skins has lost money
More than nineteen-twenteths of the 1891 catch
reached London in time for the London sales
The low prices in London can only be accounted
tor IN one way The reports of the large mum
Der o. seals met with in Bering sea this season has
reached the principal buyers and caused them
to anticipate unusually large catches Such
would have undoubtedly becn made had not the
modus viyendi prevented. The receipt of the
news from London has completely altered the
position of affairs here, and several who had
sent East TO buy new schooners for the feet
have telegraphed canceling the orders. schoon-
ers now on their way will meet profitless
market, and some of the resident owners are
now coasting about to find other business for
their floating property. The cost of fitting out
added to the wages and other unavoidable ex-
penses leaves so small margin OF profit at rul-
ing prices that few old hands will care to send
their schooners out in the spring
