A MOUNTAIN OF GOLD.
A Prospector to Undertake a Hazardous
Journey to Search for 1T. -

Journey to Search for It.
BOISE CITY, Ida, July 81. Col
tharp, of Salmon Falls, in this state,
will soon start on Teton range in search
of a mountain of gold. Coltharp is not
a visionary dreamer; he is a sober, prac-
tical miner of 40 years, who has for ten
years mined along Snake river. He has
just sold his many claims for an aggre-
gate of 100000, and he is willing to
spend half of it in his hunt. The Snake
river from the Teton range to it's
mouth has a bed of gold. It is a
peculiar gold, -four gold being it's
technical name, and its particles
are SO minute that it cannot be; saved in
the usual manner The particles will
float in water, and it takes from 6UO to
5000 particles to amount to a cent in.
value. By straining water and sand
through burlap a great deal of this -four
gold can be saved, and when miners can
secure plenty of water at a forceful pres
sure and a work tremendous quanti-
ties of pay dirt they can secure quanti-
ties of the finest gold in the world.
Coltharp declares that this -four gold is
by the action of moving water worn from
some enormous bodyof the yellow metal
and that the discoverer of the source of
the golden flood will find millions to re-
ward him for his labor and expense. The
Teton range is practically unexplored.
1t is a rugged chain, and is within the
limit Of semi-perpetual snow. Boise
capitalists will go shares with Coltharp.
Other old miners here disagree with
Coltharp, declaring that the flour gold
comes from range of cement hills.
They say the cement formation is filled
with gold, and its presence has been
shown by many assayers. Coltharpsays
he has examined the cement, and, while
he admits that much gold is discernible,
he insists that a mountain of gold really
exists in the Teton range.

PATTISON is FIRM.

When Civil Authorities Are Powerless the
Military Will Take Charge.
HARRISBURG, Pa, July 9.-The COM
mittee from Homestead arrived in the
evening and were in secret conference
with the governor.
II am glad to hear of the comparative
good order preserved in Homestead and
hope that it will continue. I have taken
the position, and will adhere to it, that
the civil authorities must exhaust every
effort to preserve order and peace,
and the law will be maintained even if
it requires all the military force Of the
state or an appeal to the federal govern
ment, but it will only be done when the
forms of law and the civil authorities
are powerless. Property will be pro-
tected and the right of all parties in the
existing struggle will be strictly main
tanned without regard to the merits or
dement's of the business interests between
them," said Governor Pattison to the
committee, which was in session till

Report That DIore Pinkertons Were bound
for Homestead Unreliable.
HOMESTEAD. Pa, July, 1.-THE chilly
atmosphere of the early morning was
beginning to be warmed by the y Of
the sun when the determined men of
Homestead, who had stood on the hill
tops about the town for five weary
hours, threw their rifles over their
shoulders and went back to the bed from
which they had been aroused at the
alarm that tn. Pinkertons were coming.
This information was received about II
o'clock p. m, and it came from such a
reliable source that even the most CON
sentative of the leaders could but place
credence in it. While the dispatch did.
not come as a thunderbolt from a clear
sky, for clouds of possible danger were
visible on the horizon, it created the
greatest excitement among the leaders,
and decisive measures were taken at
once. Scouts were sent to the houses Of
the sleeping w~orkingmen, and the alarm.
ing information that tblack sheep were
coming was sufficient to send scores Of
men hurrying toward headquarters. The
greatest number of these were armed,
with Winchesters. It was a strange
scene. Squads Of armed men silently
shouldered their rifles and went to the
points selected-the hill tops about tile
town overlooking the tracks Of the
Wheeling division. The long hours of
the night passed away, however, and no
hostile force arrived. It was a disap-
pointment to a few, but the great ma
jority Of the men thankfully shouldered
their arms and walked back to their
homes in the early morning light. The
alarm wasfalse but the leaders do not
believe it to have been intended for a
hoax. Notwithstanding the seeming
unreliability Of the warning the leaders
believe it was based on some actual in
formation and vigilance has increased
accordingly.

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 11.-One Of

a United Press reporter what the OUT
look is for an advance of the Pinkerton5
force, which is supposed to be assem-
bling over back of the hills south of the
Carnegie mills. He replied: "There is
no question about the presence of them
just south of the range of hills. Our.
scouts have located them in a dozen
places. They are in groups and are
moving about. They are gradually get
ting together and will, in all probability,
make a feint upon some point in our
lines which they believe weak. I donot
think the first attack will be a serious
one. They are back from twenty to
thirty miles from the river, and are evi-,,

They are arriving in small detachments
so they will not attract notice. Not one.

them for large amounts. He occasionally
made a hit, but his losses always kept far

MEMPHIS, July S.-Nearly six inches
of water has fallen in two days, causing
incalculable damage to crops, entire
fields having been washed away.
Streams in all directions have risen with
great rapidity, and the people in the low
lands have been compelled to fee to the
hills for safety.
A message from Columbus, Miss,
says the Tom Bigbee has risen twenty
two feet since morning, and it is still
rising at the rate of a foot an hour. If it
goes much higher it will cover every
vestige of growing crops and endanger
the lives of hundreds of people in the

Georgia Pacific railway was washed out
three miles east of Columbus, and traf-
fc on the road has been abandoned,

HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 1.-THE re-
port that Governor Pattison had ordered
the entire national guard to Homestead
was received here about 11:20 p. m. and
it created intense excitement among the
comparatively small number who heard
it. Measures were taken to prevent the
news from spreading. It was feared
that the town might become alarmed
and serious trouble result. Such a
rumor might precipitate any amount Of
disorder in the present hysterical state
of feeling and fear was expressed that
the great army of locked out men might
get beyond control of the leadergand do
serious damage tothe Carnegie property.

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 1~1.-Contrary
to expectations, Governor Pattison has
ordered General Snowden, commander
of the Pennsylvania state militia, to pro-
coed at n to Homestead to support
Sheriff McCleary in maintaining peace
at the Carnegie mills. The governors
order was as follows:
70 General r. S. Snowden:
Put the division under arms and move
at once with all munitions to the support
of the sheriff of Allegheny county, at
Homestead. Maintain the peace and pro-
tect all persons in their rights under the
constitution and laws of the state.
ROBERT f. PATTIsoN.
The calling out of troops at this time
by the governor was caused by the fol-
lowing telegram received from Sheriff
McCleary:s ,
PITTsBURG, July 10.
To Governor Pattison:
The situation at Homestead has not i'm
proved. While all is quiet there the
strikers are in control and openly express
to me and to the public their determine
ton that the works shall not be operated
unless by themselves. After making all
efforts in my power I have failed to Sc
cure u posse respectable enough in num-
bers to accomplish anything, and l am
satisfied that no posse raised by the civil
authorities can do anything to change the
condition of affairs and that any attempt
by an inadequate force to restore the
rights of law will only result in further
armed resistance and consequent loss of
life. Only Il large military force will an
able me to control matters. l believe if
such a force is sent the disorderly element
would be overawed and order would be
restored. I therefore call upon you to
furnish me such assistance.
WILLIAM H. MCCLEARY, Sheriff.
