The nature of the whole land in
Alaska can be roughly divided into three
conditions: Snow and ice fields bury the
coast range and choke up every hollow;
to the immediate north the valleys
are rocky and barren, but the vast in
terror beyond is richly clothed in luxuri-
ant vegetation. Scientific authorities
theoretically mapped out giant ice fields
as spreading over the entire land from
the Fairweather and Mount st. Elias
ranges north almost to the valley of the
Yukon.
Colossal heights mantled in never
melting SHOWS tower thousands of feet
in the air, but within the shadow of
these mighty uplands, in the sheltered
hollows beneath, lie immense valleys
carpeted inrichest grasses and gracefully
tinted with wild flowers. Here in the
summer q genial cline is found, where
strawberries and other wild fruits ripen
in luxuriance. where there are AZ
months of summer and ~ of winter.
In June and July the sun is lost below
the horizon only for a few hours, and
the temperature, though chilly at night
has an average of 65 degs. il. the day

OF the board of directors of the San

when the subjoined resolutions were
proposed:
That the capital of the company be in

100000 new shares at Be-. each, to be
called preference shares, and to confer
on the holders thereof the right to a
fixed cumulative preferential dividend
at ~ per cent, per annum on the amount
for the time being paid up on such

We would take from reading the

experts, that we may look for work to
be resumed on the mine before very

expert, says:
"The vein has not been lost, only
the workers have reached the bottom OF
the deposit of ore. The lode in which
the tin is found is a true fissure vein,
and according to all experience there is
no reason second deposit of tin should
not be found in depth; iddeed, I think
it will, but aa the mine stands at pres.
ent there is very little ore in sight. The

GilmOre'S Baton.

When Gilmore was in Minneapolis
during the exposition in 1888 the music
of his band was transferred to phono-
graph, and he afterward heard it.
"That is wonderful, grandp exclaimed
Gilmore. "It's all there but my little
stick and the tap tap of the alto horns

The little stick" was his baton. 1t
was mado of whitewood, and he always
carried it when at the head of his band.
"l have adozen or more batons," said
the popular leader one day, "but none
of them compares with this little stick.
| can tap on the edge Of my music stand
with this. and it will not spoil it. My

them locked up"
During his continental tour he was
presented with magnificiently decorated

A Handsome NupEat.

Mr.. Scott Greening, who has been alb
sent in the mining regions of Arizona for
about two years, returned home, says
the Downey Champion, or Monday.
Mr.. Greening brings with him hand
some nugget OF gold, weighing between
five and six ounces, and is valued at
$l04. 1t was taken from quartz lode
at Rich Hill, so miles from Prescott, by
an Indian who was engaged in placer
mining near the ledge.
The specimen came from the surface
of the ledge to which it was attached
when found. A email amount of quartz
adheres to one end, the upper end hav-
ing been worn smooth by the elements
The specimen is about two and one-half
inches long and something over an inch
in width. The surface is quite rough
and has the appearance of having, when
in molten etate, been run into cavity
in rock. Mr.. Greenipg reports that a
nugget worth over $400 was taken from
the same quartz ledge quite recently.
The ledge from which the nuggets were
taken is we'll developed lead OF several
thousand feet in length, and is owned
by company in which Mr.. Greening
formerly held an interest.

The Manufacture OF Wire.

The manufacture OF wire as now car
ried out may be briefly and concisely
stated, and consists in alternating or re-
duction in section thin rods of the metal
under manipulation by drawing them
cold through holes in draw plate, usu-
ally made of hard steel. The wire draw
er's bench is furnished with horizontal
cylinder, driven by steam or other power,
on which the wire is wound after leav-
ing the draw plate. The holes in the
draw plate are arranged in decreasing
diameters, and fine wire may require
some twenty or thirty drawings ere it is
reduced to the size desired.
Much friction is generated in the pro-
cess, Notwithstanding the use of lubri-
cants, and "annealing" is necessary to
counteract the brittleness produced in
the wire. Where great accuracy is re-
quisite the wire is drawn through rubies
or other hard stones in the draw plate.
The speed fthe drawing cylinder is in
creased as the diameter of the wire di-
minishes.
Much confusion has existed in regard
to the gauges of wires, no fewer than
ffty-five different gauges being men
toned by a recent writer, of which forty
five were for measuring and determining
the size of wire as made and sold within
the United Kingdom. The Whitworth
gauge, introduced in 1857 by Sir Joseph
Whitworth, and the Birmingham wire
gauge B. w. o. have been extensively
employed In1884 an imperial standard
wire gauge became law, and consti-
tutes the legal gauge of this country. It
ranges from half an inch to one-thou-
sandth of an inch in diameter. Cham

I he Cyanide Process.

Frank Mathews arrived last Monday,
says the Inyo Independent, at Lone
Pine from Eureka, New. He is inter-
ested in the new cyanide process for the
reduction of gold ores, and is connected
with mines whore it is in operation at
Eureka and in Utah. Mr.. Mathews is
now arranging with J. Wilson to work
ores in his mines in Coso district. The
Hirsch mine, the mines in Hunters
caflon, and other mines in Beveridge
district will also be examined with @
view to work ores by the new process.
Mr.. Mathews left independence yester.
day with Mr.. Wilson for Darwin, with
intention to begin work as soon as pos
sible. In different parts of the county
there are gold ores in abundance that
may pay good profit by the new process.
Should the result prove successful it
would be of much local benefit.

Their system of embezzlement was for
Moore to make checks payable
to Clark and himself and have them
cashed. The men had another scheme
which, for unknown reasons, failed. 1t
was for Clark to send false quotations to
Kansas City, and later correct them,

Over near Eddy, New Mexico, they
think that they have discovered what
they believe to be the real true sure
enough body of petrifed man. E. W.
Doll and ]. B. Coates are the discoverers
of cave IA miles west of Eddy. 1t
seems that the existence of the cave has
been known to the older settlers of the
Pecos valley for years as the "Big Gave" "
When they reached the cave Messrs.
Doll and Coates made thorough exam
ination of the interior and found hun
dreds of rooms OF various descriptions and
sizes. While cropping about in the in
terror the gentlemen claim that they
struck the petrfed body OF man. The
body was found about $50 feet from the
entrance to the cavern, and lying on its
back, and seemed to have at one time been
imbedded in the soil or other substance.
The hands are laid resting on the
body as ii the body was laid out for
burial. The hair on the head can be
distincly traced. The head has a fine
appearance and seems to have been that
of superior person. The face has
very pleasant expression, one tooth
being plainly visible, the eyes being
closed.
Later the people of Eddy arrived ut
the conclusion that they had been i'm
posed upon and that the alleged petri-
faction was fraud. 1t had been placed
on exhibition in a vacant etore room,
and an admission fee of 80 cents was
being charged to see it. In some way
newspaper reporter dropped on to the
fact that box had been shipped to J.
B. Coates from Los Angeles, weighing
just about what the petrifaction did at
the time it is alleged that it was
discovered. The whole thing is now
looked on as fraud similar to the

Our Sulphur Deposits.

For sometime past, says the Bakers
field Californian, investigations have
been in progress looking to the develop
ment of the sulphur deposits of our
county. The largest and best known lie
at Hazleton, in the Sunset field in se.-
ton %, township II north, range 23
west, near the oil wells and asphalt
beds, and though the extent has long
been surmised IRON the wide surface in
dications and outbreaks, recent pros
pecting and exploration on a systematic
scale has demonstrated the existence of
such large quantities that it will war
rant the erection of plant in the near
future at the mines and the production
OF sulphur for commercial purposes.
Its use in the manufacture of sui
phuric acid, powder and in the horlicul-
tural and viticultural interests and
many others make large demand for
it on the Pacific coast, now entirely
supplied by importation from Japan
and Sicily. Some $1,000 tons annually
are imported at cost of $15 to 500 per
ton and reach the farmer and fruit
grower at a much higher cost. A
home product will reduce this and nat
urally greatly benefit Kern county.
The sulphur is understood to run of a
very high grade of purity. much being
nearly pure. Sulphur ore producing
20 per cent. of the article by mod
erp methods of refining can be profit
ably worked. Our readers may have
noticed some fine specimens at the Kern
county pavilion exhibit which were
from the Sunset mine, and are also to be
seen at Drury's and the Kern Valley
bank.
The present investigation is in the
interest of San Francisco parties, but
others from the east have been in COM
munication for year past with Messrs.
Jewett & Blodget, who control the de-
posits. having in view the development
and production of sulphur and its pro-
ducts for use on the Pacific coast.
