want an Available market.

The necessity for an eastern market
for the excellent fruits raised in the
vicinity of Lewiston is already beginning
to be felt. The Teller says the local
market is now suffering from an over
supply. Yet the fruit industry is only
in its infancy. Young orchards are
coming in yearly and the increased pro-
ducts will coon be drug on the market.
It has been estimated that there are
fully 10000 acres of fruit lands on the
Snake. and Clearwater rivers and only
1000 acres of this available land is now
in cultivation. An outside market Is
then a necessity to the development of
the fruit lands. The questions of mar
ket and transportation are the ones yet
to be solved. A Birch creek, farmer is
at present cutting his third crop of alfal-
ia hay from fine piece of bottom land.
The three crops will average about Eve
tons to the acre. The alfalfa cis grown
on unirrigated land and is proving q
very profitable crop.

HIS BODY SURROUNDED BY GOLD.
doned Quartz Mining Claim.
GOLD IN REMARKABLE RICHNESS.
Nothing to Indicate the Mans Identity
No tine Left to Remember. the
Incidents.

SPOKANE, Sept. III. S. King,
well-known prospector and miner from,
Okanogan county, who arrived in this
city Saturday, tells an interesting story
of an abandoned mining claim which he
viewer Mr.. King said: s'The shaft, or
prospect hole, as I found it, is about go
feet deep and it has been there longer
than any prospector can remember. 1t
was there when miners first went into
that country and began gopher-holing
the hills. Nobody examined it because
it was considered a worthless hole which
had been abandoned by the man who
located it. A few days ago happened
to pass the old shaft, and curiosity
prompted me to look into it. After ex-
amining rock lying near the mouth of
the bole came to the conclusion that
perhaps it would pay to investigate it
closer. Under pile of rubbish, which
I found was the remnants of an old
shack, there were chunks of quartz that
showed free gold of remarkable richness.
Evidently the quartz had been hidden
away from the prying gaze of men in
order to prevent discovery of the rich
ness of the vein.
"My curiosity being thoroughly ar
reused by what I saw, { decided, to go
into the shaft and see Just what sort OF
a lead there was. In order toido, this 1
had to secure rope and a piece of tim
Der to lay across the opening the wind
lass which had formerly been nsed by
the unknown being almost sdeeayed by
rot. Vel, down into the hole I went,
and what do you suppose found2, A

ing position against the wall. Near by
wasa pick,a shovel Withonta handle, a
drill and. hammer. The miners cloth
ing was fairly,well preserved and chung
to the bones as if the body had at some
time been submerged by water. It is
my opinion that the dead man had been
in the old shaft many years. There was
nothing to indicate the mans identity,
nor do any of the old timers up there
know anything about him. The old
shaft has been there as long as anyone
can remember and it has never been ex-
amined by anyone, as it has always been
looked upon as worthless prospect.
81 am of different opinion, though" !"
pursued Mr.. King, as he produced a
piece of quartz weighing about four
ounces. ''This is fair specimen of a
three foot vein of quartz which looks to
be permanent in the old abandoned
mine. don't mean to say that the en-
tire vein shows free gold just like this,
but there is lot of it just as good and
will run away up into the thousands to
the ton. I have filed claim on the old
hole and shall begin work there at once.
I might prospect for years and never
find anything SO rich" Mr.. King pro-
poses to give the skeleton of the old pros
pector christian burial, and if he can
find the relatives of the dead man would
feel disposed to give them an interest
in the strike.

Homestead was to be a great demo-
cratic battle cry this fall. A special
committee was sent there to s'inyesti-
gate" or, in other words, to gather
campaign material. When Judge
Oates, of Alabama, chairman of the
committee, announced that he was
ready to report, what he had to report
was found so undesirable as Campaign
material" that it was decided to defer
action upon it t.until after election 2
Then the judge gave out his report as
his individual opinion, and so far is it
from being good campaign material
that Col. Jones, of the st. Louis Repub-
lie, says Oates is t'no demoerat" for Civ

Z BLUE CANYON, CAL, Sept. 10.-A fire
broke out in the snowsheds at Summit
last night. The Summit fire train,
while fighting the flames, became en-
veloped in flames and had to be aban-
doned. The engine and water cars were
burned up. The Blue canyon water
train was rushed to the front, and while
battling with the flames, a new fire
started west of the train, and for time
there was danger that this train would
burn. The fires were started at four
different points, evidently by an incen-
diary, who was travelling west from
Summit. A water train from Rocklin
was sent up early this morning. The
flames are now under control, but moth
ing can be done toward laying new
track until the fire dies out and the
rails cool, as no water can be thrown on
the burning ties and timbers. The
Truckee, and / and OF yesterday are
here. Five hundred workmen have
been shipped from Truckee with ties
and rails, and work will be pushed with
all possible rapidity. Twenty-one hun
dred feet of track and sheds are destroy
ed. The company has been replacing
old rails this summer with new 7-pound
steel rails, and the old rails can be re-
placed temporarily, if necessary. The
passengers at this point are being well
fed and cared for. Assistant Superin-
tendent Jones, with five cars of ties,
went up from Sacramento this morning.

Cause of the Hotel noy., Disaster.

The coroner's jury in the Hotel Royal in
quest in New York rendered q verdict late last
night. They find that Kate Reilly and the VIC
Tins met their death from general burns and
injuries received at the fire; that il appeared
that the fire started in the elevator shaft, but
they could not determine its origin; that Night
Clerk Underwood failed in his duty in not dis
covering the fire sooner and in not sooner
notifying the department when he did dis
cover the same. They further find that the
absence Of fire escapes on the 9th avenue side
of the hotel shows that VIM Seaton, the build
ing inspector, made q false report In stating
that they had been in compliance with ~
order OF the building department.
