Gold in the San Juan.

It seems to be settled fact now
 that there is gold in the San Juar
 and plenty of it. There is alst
 plenty of water and all the plaeerl
 now need is development. There
 has been a greatrush to these placers they came from this section and the last one was from Colorado, and it ie estimated that upwards of 1,500 people went into the San Juan from that state alone many of them old miners and many of them ten- der feet. The old miners are fully satisfied that the:e is gold there in paying quantities. But work will nave to be done to get it out. The tenderfeet who went expected to get the gold by the shovelful and to find it lying around loose, and ali they had to do was to load themselves up with the precious metal and go home rich men. In this they were disappointed, others did not find hotels and all the modern conven- fences, and all these returned saying the country is no good.
 A good many are still going in from this place, but it is probable that there will be no great rush un- til spring as the weather Is too cold on the San Juan to work during the winter.
 Geo. w. Morgan, Robt. Ferguson, and John Toler returned during the week and all have locations there and are fully stisfied that there is plenty of gold there, and they will return soon and work their claims.
 About all the ground along the San Juan has been located. The locations extend from a point about miles above Bluff City to the mouth of the San Juan. The entire distance being considered good placer ground
 The rich pay dirt is in the gravel and on hard pan but this is hard to get at owing to the loose formation. Like all new discoveries exactly op- posite reports are made, and some will find riches and others will fail.
 In 1887 and 1888 the portion of the fields lying below Bluff City on the south side of the river was To- cated, but the Indians drove the prospectors away killing two of their number.-Coconino Sun.

A New Mexico exchange says Here is a pointer on wolf killing in New Mexico, the other day, a shepherd was ordered to kill goat for eating purposes. The Mexican took his gun and shot the goat, which he did not kill dead enough to skin. The animal ran around and stopped on arocky place where there were little basins in the solid rock, and stood there until it filled one of these basins with blood. The Mexican conceived tho idea of put ting poison in the blood as bait for wolves, which were very trouble some. Accordingly, he took strych- nine and stirred in the blood. Next morning there were five coyotes, one hobo and wild cat lying dead near the puddle of blood. The sheep men were enthusiastic over the re- suit, and will make further experi- ments to test the seemingly valua- ble discovery. It is supposed that blood is the most attractive bait that can be procured. and it will be tested by the sheepmen in that sec- ton.

The Coal Fields.

The gold excitement which has attracted the attention of our citi- zens for several weeks past has in a measure been supplanted by coal sensation in a milder form.
 The existence of coal northeast of here along the Little Colorado has long been known and but little was thought of the matter until last year when 8 number of locations were made near the western line of the Moqui reservation about 90 miles north of Winslow and thirty five miles east of the present loca- tions. The first location is about sixty miles in a direct line northeast of Flagstaff and within ten miles of the Little Colorado river.
 The veins of coal vary from a few inches to fifteen feet, and the coal lays in three stratas one above the other the lower strata being con- sidered the best quality and it is thickest.
 A large number of locations have been made by Flagstaff parties with in ten miles of the river, and much of the coal is of coking quality, and cokes perfectly, and this fact adds much to the value of the coal fields. Alarge number of locations have been made near John Williams store about ninety miles northeast of this place by Flagstaff parties. This coal also eokes perfectly. A force of men are at work at both places and a large amount of devel- opment work will be done on both fields this winter.-Coconino Sun.

They Have a Bonanza.

It seems the owners of Dr. Drum mond's Lightning Remedy for Rheuma- tism have Bonanza as their remedy has never been known to fail in a single case. There is certainly room in the market for medicine that will do what they claim for this wonderful preparation. Although the price is $5 per bottle if it does one half claimed for it the price should be s100. If the druggist has not got it, the remedy will be sent to any ad- dress by prepaid express on receipt of price. Drummond Medicine Co.,; 4S-50 Maiden Lane, New York. Agents wanted.

A Joke on An umcer.

One of the unique advertisements for
the "Zeb" company, at the Grand
Opera House, is member of the Com
pany made up rs a supplemented coun-
trvman I'm town for the first time.
This character started down Market
street Yesterday afternoon, followed by
quite a crowd, and seeing police Of
fcer cycling him sharply, "Zeb" cut
across the street as though to avoid the
policeman. The latter followed, and
baiIing the stranger, asked where
he was going. "Zeb" put on
a silly grin and said he was just
,.neekin' around little" The officer
asked two or three more questions, and
being convinced he had a crank, he
started with 'Zeb" for the City Hall.
On the way the supposed cranky man
made some remark about having $780,
600 in his mind" and that settled 1t.
and .Zeb" was hustled into the police
Office, while big crowd followed. The
prisoner finally told the officer he be-
iopQed to the show, but the blue coat said
he couldn't put il on his eye" that
way. and was bent on locking up the
man as having an unusually lively set OF
"works" in his head. Finally explana-
tions were made, and the officer will
never hear the last OF the Joke.

In the whole state OF Illinois. Says
Governor AItgeId.


SPRINGFIELD, Ills, November ID
Gov. Altgeld was asked to-day II It was
true that one of the conditions OF the
pardon Of Fielder, Neebe and Schwab
was that they should make no Anarch-
isuc speeches In the future, and he re-
piled;
"In granting pardons to Fielder,
Schwab and Neebe, did so because l
thought them not guilty Of the crime
charged and for which they were SEN
fenced, and in so doing placed no con-
ditiOns upon their pardons, made no
such conditions as charged, namely,
that they must make no more
speeches regarding Anarchy. You may
say there are no Anarchists In
the entire State OF Illinois,
not one. II the newspapers would stop
talking anarchy the whole matter
would never again be heard OF. The
labOriug men in Chicago and other
places are as good citizens as are 10 any
State. They have q right TO their own
views on all matters aud are entitled 10
express themselves the same as all citi-
zens, and when these expressions are
made they should lot be designated an
archistic speeches. thus placing the
speakers in a wrong light.
"NO, sir, there is not one Anarchist in
the great State OF Illinois, not one, !"
and with that the Governor dismissed
the subject.

Special zSisOTGn1 70 ne REGISTER.
STEUBENvILLE, o., November Ia
There seems to be no doubt now that n.
r. Johnson, the Republican boss and
Clerk Of the City, who disappeared about
week ago, had good reason for going
away, as an investigation by the Finance
Committee of Council has disclosed the
fact that he has taken at least six huh
dred dollars OF city money.
Johnson, who went into Office last
spring, IL appears, has not only been
dishonest but ungrateful, for the inves-
tigation proves that he Systematically
filched part Of the money paid over to
him by Mayor w. M. Scott as fines and
licenses, The very first payment that
the Mayor made to him after be went
into Office was six dollars short when
paid by Johnson over to the City Treas
urer, and each monthly payment since
was short from two to ten dollars, with
the exception of one month.
The last heard Of Johnson was in
Washington City, where James Neon
vile, saw and identified him in a bank
as the City Clerk Of Steubenville, and
he got a check II Rev. Father Hart
leys, of this city, for S14O given him to
pay for street assessments, cashed.
Steps were taken Immediately by coun-
Gil 10 impeach Johnston, and already
there are quite number Of candidates
for the position, which is sinecure,
paying Sl6O per year, q man being able
TO attend TO it and other business at the
same time.
The amount Of the peculation is now
known to be about six hundred dollars,
but it will likely reach larger figure
when the street and sewer assessment
receipts given by him turn up.
Johnson was one of the brightest
young men In this city, and heretofore
his principal failing was regarded as
being a disposition TO go on periodical
sprees and absent himself from business
and the city. He was editor of Salem,
O., daily paper few years since and
later OF the Evening STIR, this city, and
lost both positions through his unfor-
tunate habits.

IL n1nlntaIn thn Gold Reserye.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November 10
A plan has just been prepared whereby
the gold reserve OF the treasury may be
Increased to its legal limit Of 100000
900. This is to be accomplished by
means of an understanding with the
banks Of Yew York, whereby they are
20 increase the proportion of gold in
their deposit in the New York treasury
in the checks that are presented by i'm
porters in payment of customs duties.
II is the system in vogue for the banks
20 keep special deposits at the sub
treasury, and heretofore the gold has
not averaged more than one per cent,
The bulk OF payments were made in the
treasury notes. As the deficit in the
gold reserve is now only about SIS, 000,-
600 and the associated banks Of New
York have on hand fully 500, 900, 600, it
Is thought that this scheme, which is a
result Of the recent visit of the Secre-
tary, viii be carried through.
