Exploring River Beds for Gold.

Says the Portland Oregonian: Cap
tain Henry Finch of Chicago, for four
teen years connected with the life
saving service on the great lakes, was
in Portland the other day On his way
home from a novel prospecting trip
on the Fraser and Thompson rivers
in British Columbia. For the past
month, clad in submarine armor, he
has been exploring the beds OF these
rivers in search of gold, and says he
never went down without finding
color. He had with him samples of
scale gold in black sand, and says his
companion, who has gone East, had
a much finer showing of the precious
metal. Captain Finch's prospecting
on the Fraser and Thompson was
rather perilous work. The rivers were
frozen over, except in places where the
current ran, as he says, like the "mill-
tail of hades," and so he was obliged
! to go down in such places. He had a
stout belt around his waist, to which
a long and strong line was attached.
In one place a white man and five
Indians had hold of this line and he
went down so far that they became
scared and hauled him out. He says
there is plenty of gold in the sand on
the bottom of the rivers, but it is
difficult to get the sand from among
the boulders, and the gold is safer
than if it were locked up in q bank
vault. In one place a party of very
wild looking Indians were present
when he went down and stayed under
water for an hour. They all imagined
he was drowned, not understanding
anything about the air-pump, and
when he came up and took off his
helmet the old chief looked at him
and said: "White man very smart;
hold his breath long time" Captain
Finch is going back to Chicago to
obtain a six-inch centrifugal pump,
which he intends to use in pumping up
the sand gold from the bottom of the
river, and expects when the ice is gone
to find places where considerable
quantities of the precious metal can
be secured in this way.

Were They Living Mastodon.

The Stickeen Indians positively as
sert that within the last five years,
they have frevently seen animals
which, from the descriptions given,
must be mastodons, says the Juneau
Free Press. Last spring, while out
hunting, one of these Indians came
across series OF large tracks, each the
size of the bottom of a salt barrel,
sunk deep in the moss. He followed
the curious trail for some miles, finally
coming in full view of his game. As a
class these Indians are the bravest of
hunters, but the proportions of this
new species of game filled the hunter
with terror and he took to swift and
immediate flight. He describes the
creature as being as large as a post
traders store, with great, shining vel
lowish-white tusks and a mouth large
enough to swallow a man at a single
gulp. He further says that the ami
NAL was undoubtedly of the same
species as those whose bones and tusks
lie all over that section of thecountry.
The fact that other hunters have told
OF seeing these monsters browsing on
the herbs up along the river gives a
certain probability to the story. Over
on Forty-mile creek bones of masto-
dons are quite plentiful. One ivory
tusk nine feet long projects from one
of the sand dunes on the creek and
single teeth have been found that were
so large that they would be a good
load for one man to carry. / believe
that the mule footed hog still exists;
also that live emastodons play tag with
the aurora every night on Forty-mile
creek in Alaska.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The True Ring.

At a meeting of the Republican
league clubs held in Louisville recently
hefollowing resolutions were adopted
We, the representatives of the Re-
publican League Clubs of the United
States in national convention assem-
bled, reaffirm our belief in and devo-
ton to the principles of the Republi-
can party as enunciated by the ma
tional Republican convention in 1892.
We point with pride to the passage
of a general law for the safety of life
and limb of railway employees. We
declare that we are in hearty SYM
pathy with every legislative enact
ment which will promote the interest
of wage earners and tend to equalize
the conditions and harmonic the
relations between labor and capital,
always regarding the moral and ma
terial welfare OF the great body of the
people az the primary object to be
attained. We declare our faith in
genuine secret ballot laws, fortified by
efficient acts ofsuppression of corrupt
practice in elections.
We demand the suppression of all
public gambling, whether in food pro-
ducts or by means OF lottery tickets.
We heartily urge an amendment to
the constitution making the president
ineligible to second successive term.
We recommend to the favorable con-
sideration OF the Republican clubs of
the United States the matter of edu-
cation; and the question of granting
to women OF state and nation the
right to vote at elections on the same
terms and conditions as male citizens.
The foreign policy of Benjamin Har-
rison and James G.. Blaine deserves
and receives the commendation of all
Americans who believe in preserving
the rights and dignity of the United
States and in extending the scope OF
its influences. In accordance with
that policy we reafiirm our determina-
ton to encourage the enforcement of
the Monroe doctrine, not only as it
applies to North and South America,
but also to those islands in the Allan
tic and Pacific oceans which are or
may become necessary to the preser-
vation of our coast line and our trade.
When the American flagcovers Ameri-
can interests and American honor it
must never be lowered.
Whereas, the Democratic party, for
the first time in thirty-two years, has
succeeded in power in both the execu-
tive and legislative branches of the
government, we now direct attention
to the fact that it should either give
the people fair trial of the policies
advocated in its national platform or
admit that it gained supremacy by
gross misrepresentation and hypoc.
rlsy.

Lining Mullan Tunnel.

Helen Herald: The Northern Pacific
railroad company has resumed opera
tions in the extensive improvements
started last spring in lining the Null
Ian tunnel, nineteen miles west of this
city, and just this side of Blossburg,
in Deer Lodge county. The work
commenced last springwas postponed
in October of last year, on account
of cold weather, after little over a
thousand feet OF the tunnel had been
lined with brick and cement. With
the coming of warm weather work has
again been resumed, and the contract
ors, Missoula men, expect to accom-
piish more work this year than last.
They have let contracts for 1,OOO,-
600 brick and have put large force
of men at work. 1t is thought it will
take two years work to complete the
lining of the tunnel. The cost when
completed will be about S25O,OOO.

IT WILL OPEN SUNDAY.
The Exposition Directors Decide to Return
Uncle Sans 50, 500, 900.

CHICAGO, May 19.-The directors OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition de-
cided yesterday to abrogate their con-
tract with congress by which they
bound themselves to close the fair on
Sunday in consideration of an appro-
priation of $4,000, 900. The money
will be returned to the government
and hereafter the fair will be opened
Sundays. Yesterdays action was
practically unanimous, but two direc-
tors out OF the thirty-six voting against
the proposition. The machinery will
be closed down on Sunday, but in
every other respect the fair will be
open In all departments the same as
on secular days. But S1,929, ,076 of
the appropriation originally made by
congress has been turned over to the
exposition company, and this amount
is to be returned to the national treas
ury after the debts of the exposition
have been paid.
The Sunday admission will be so
cents, the same as during the week
Sabbatarians are disarmed of their
most effective arguments by rules pro-
viding for holding religious services at
the park each Sunday in Choral and
Festival halls. Eminent preachers
will be invited to conduct these SER
vices. Choral hall lseats Z 900 persons
and Music hall about $500. More
important, however, than this con-
dition are those relating to the opera
tion of machinery and the regulation
OF the prices on Sunday. "The ma
chinery shall be stopped and none of
the employees, except those actually
needed TO protect property and pre-
serve the public peace, shall do any
work on Sunday, and those employees
who work on that day shall be given
day of rest during the week." the
regulation reads.

Pulled a Lions Tooth.

Inter Ocean: Nero, one of the big
lions in Carl Hagenbeck's show, had a
tooth pulled yesterday. For over a
week the beast has been suffering from
tusk which had grown so awkwardly
that it lacerated his upper jaw when
he ate his food. Carl Maasse was the
dentist. He took big pair of tongs,
and while two trainers crooned Ger
man song to the lion, the pinchers
were fastened upon the tooth. Then
with a mighty jerk, which drew a roar
from the animal, the skillful dentist
yanked the bothersome tusk upon the
floor. 1t weighed over an ounce.
