the Carnarvon, last Sunday.
AS we came alongside the steamer the
scene would have inspired IL painter, but
was rather dispiriting to a landsman

With infinite caution and by the exer-
else of surprising seamanship we drew
close enough to grapple with the steam
ship and put out tenders to break the force
of a collision. Thus we continued, bob
bling between the clouds and the deep sea,
until the blue shirted genii who operated q

landing Il huge basket on our deck. This
basket was very strongly made, was in.

lurched violently and we crashed against

see nothing in the way of the present
council passing a resolution OF this kind
or similar in it's nature, as the members
of the new council are not directly
engaged in commercial business, and
even were they, it would not cut any
figure, for l believe this council have
started in to give the city good public
service for the least possible expense to
the taxpayers.
And furthermore, the necessity of a
city scaler of weights and measures
must be apparent to every sun or
business man in the city, as we have no
means of knowing, except through a city
%scaler, whether our weights and measures
are correct. Discrepancies must exist
in our weights and measures, and no one
can say with truth that his grocer gives
false weight or measure as long as there
is no standard to prove it by. An
official test of weights and measures
should be made annually at least, and
oftener would be still more satisfactory
to the consumer. The earliest attention
practicable by city council to the matter
in question would receive the hearty en-.
dorsement of many citizens.

HOW BALLou FOUND YREkA FLAT,
One of the E;omances of the OLD Gold
Hunting Days.

One of the ~Isornances of the Old Gold
Hunting Days.
Especial Correspondence
SAN FRANCISCO, April D.-Away back
in the mining days Il party of fourteen
gold seekers-l vas one of the number
left FL Dorado county ito hunt better
~diggins."
We took the Indian trail leading up the
Sacramento to Oregon, and the noble river
soon narrowed down to IL rivuiet. We
passed along the base of grand old Mount
Shasta, following on the Oregon trail.
Here about thirty miners were camped.
digging and washing dirt That paid them
from three to five dollars u day.
Most of them were from Scott river, and
declared this better than anything they
could find at that camp. This was a poser
for us, SO we determined to go to Rogue
river to prospect. The start was to be
made on the morrow. while the party of
miners and campers decided to start on a
prospecting tour down the Sacramento
river to Shasta city at the same time.
This was the Goth of March, 1851.
The horses and mules of the camp were
grazing together, and the exhilaration of a
warm sun caused them to start out for a
run just as we were starting to drive them
W Ctilp W poSh up vi IL SCiilU.
We tried hard to capture them, but the
whole band disappeared over the low hills,
and we were compelled to follow them by
their fresh tracks in the snow and mud.
AT last we sighted them several miles
from camp in a large fiat or basin, graz
ing on bunch grass" up to their knees.
When we were scattered out to herd them
together to go to camp, one of the men,
Ballou by name, saw in the fresh dirt
turned up by the foot of Il horse Il nugget
of gold. He hastily picked it up and
pocketed it without being observed. The
horses were driven to camp and we were
soon on the road to Oregon. Ballou was
not an acquaintance of ours, nor was any
OF his party, and, naturally, his find was
only revealed to his friends in their tent.
Fourteen years later | met Ballou at
Salt Lake, and he told me what our party
had missed by rushing away on the road to
Oregon that afternoon in search of mines
they did not find.
The nugget found was worth about
$3.50. 1t was soon planned by the finders
party to postpone starting south, Ostensi-
bly, on account of the detention, and to
take pans and start from camp in different
directions to prospect M come together
out of sight of those not yet in the secret.
When together, they were guided by Bal
lou to the spot where he found the nugget
on the surface. Pan after pan was tried,
and from fifty cents to five dollars to the
pan was obtained, the best being in the
dirt among the grass roots. Claims were
staked, and when they returned to camp
all those remaining were told of the discov-
cry. Only Il few hour passed before the
entire camp was transferred to This new
find.
This was "Yreka Flat" in 1851. The
town Of Yreka now marks the locality from
which much gold has been taken.

Many Settlers Coming.

Many Settlers Coming.
The great excitement, attendant upon
the opening of an Indian reservation,
and the rush of settlers to such a place,
which has always followed such an
opening, is too universally we'll known to
need comment. The chamber of COM
merce, at Bismarck, realizing these facts,
and knowing, that among the great IN
hux of land seekers to the Sisseton reser-
%vatlon, some were doomed to disappoint-
ment, corresponded with P. B. Groat,
general emigration agent of the North
ern Pacific, requesting him, if it we're
practicable for him to do so, to have a
representative there, to impress upon
the settlers the boundless advantages of
North Dakota, and the unlimited amount
of land awaiting settlement. In re.
spouse to this request, MI. Groat writes
the chamber of commerce the following
letter:
Referring to your favor and also the
telegram from John Davidson of April II,
relative to comforting with settlers on the
SiSseton Indian reservation with reference
to the advantages which North Dakota
offers for settlement, which came during
absence: | beg to say.
We had a representative of the company
there at the time of the opening of the
reservation to settlement, and distributed
a large amount of advertising matter
among the land seekers, and brought to
their attention the large areas OF desirable
agricultural lands open for settlement in
your state. There were not nearly as
many people there as reported, and among
the comparatively few that were there |
think the distribution of our advertising
matter will result in som of them locating
in North Dakota.
The rush to Indian reservations to
secure s%ecOnd-rate lands is absurd when
it is considered that there are such large
areas of fine free government lands in the
northwest, so much better than the second
choice lands in the average indian reser-
walton. There is, however, a sentimental
idea prevailing that Indian reservation
lands are especially desirable, when as a
themselves take the cream and leave in
feriOr lands for the infatuated settler who
usually entertainS impressions that all
lands in an Indian reservation are desir-
able. There is a good deal of inquiry con-
corning North Dakota and l expect a good
healthy immigration will continue during
the coming season, and If we are favored
with another good crop in 1892 there will be
a very large movement OF settlers 10 the
ages which North Dakota offers for
success in farming and stock raising be-
come more generally known the state will
receive large accesSiOnS Of farmers and
stock raisers and we are doing what we
can to promote settlement therein.
