Hut Owing to the Water Being Scare,
the Gold Cannot be NJ AIDE OF Value

Hut Owing to the Water Being Scarce
the Gold Cannot be M ado of Value.
About five hundred miles from the
western coast OF Australia are to be found
the richest known deposits OF gold in the
world. Lord Percy Douglas, who visited
them, speaks OF outstanding bars OF
gold" upon the reefs. The prospective
yield Of the yellow metal is incalculable,
but at present little can be done, because
to reach the reefs two hundred and fifty
miles of the worst Imaginable country
must be traversed. Water is 30 scarce
on the road that only at one place are
travellers allowed to drink as much as
they want, but even here they are not
allowed to carry as much as flaskful
away, the penalty for 30 doing being
three months imprisonment. Strange
comment, is it not, ON the intrinsic value
OF things, that man may take away
all the gold he can carry, but may not
carry away 30 much as a glass of water
The wonderful reefs are at a place called
Coolgardie. Here the government has
bored we'll, out of which some very
poor water comes in small quantities.
1t is sold at 4 cents a gallon. but the
amount which each person may fave is
limited. Water of an inferior quality il
brought in by carriers, and after being
purified it 10 sold for 80 cents gallon
Whisky sells for about so cents thin.
bleful. At Coolgardie about 1000 people
are living, but unless good water is found
soon the place will be deserted. This will
doubtless only be for time, for it is no,
propable that such immensely valuable
deposits of gold will long remain unex
plotted. There is a railway within 25t
miles of Coelgsrdie and it will be pushed
forward over the intervening distanc,
beyond q doubt. Then water cars car
be sent in and mining operations be car
ried on, if the reefs are as rich as is al
legged.

levanted with the funds of the Buckley
State bank, of Buckley, WASH, has been
captured, and it is believed his accom-.
plice, the cashier, will soon be in the
hands of the law also. Theil's Portland
detective service received a telegram
Wednesday night from its Baltimore
agency, advising them that Kann had
been arrested in that city. Baltimore
was Kann's former home, and there is
no doubt of his identity. Kann, under
the name of Hart, and his cashier, his
son Frank, who assumed the name Of
F. A. Dinsmore, and claimed to be his
nephew, stole over 10000 belonging to
people Of Buckley and Pierce county in

Byron West, young man about Is
years Of age and son of Joseph
West, a resident Of Winlock, Wash,

by William Grouse in the woods near
Winlock, Tuesday morning. Grouse had
taken Winchester rifle and with his
companion had gone out to shoot bear.
He saw the boy, and. mistaking him in
the distance for bear. fired, the shot
striking young West in the back in the
region of the kidneys. Physicians who

the shooting was purely the result OF a
mistake. He is completely broken uI

The fight was long and bloody. Both
women are large, strong and full of pluck
and they fought viciously, half the time
pulling each others hair. They bit and
scratched each other until they looked
like wild beasts and were covered with
blood. They will show scars until their
dying days. AT last Mrs. Harvey gained
an advantage and, Selling large stone,
hammered her opponents head until she
was unconscious. Mrs. Harvey was

tives are unable to find her.

has been seized by strange religious

attorney general of the United States.
The attorney generate wife, a woman OF
superior beauty and talent, made rivals

st. l. Duis Dispatch to the Kansas City Times
A most wonderful meteor made the
heavens brilliant this morning before
dawn. The meteor was wonderful for
three reasons 1t started in the regions
of the Great Dipper and shot clear across
the heavens in a slightly southeasterly
direction, where it disappeared just above
the horizon. One very remarkable thing
was the slowness of its progress, long
track Of fire streaming behind. Another
peculiarly was that when it reached the
zenith 1t seemed to pause-a blazing star.
The descent to the horizon was as slow
and stately as the ascent. The third won.
derful feaiure in the. whole very strange
occurrence was that when it reached the
southeasterly extremity of its course, in
stead of going out Immediately it burned
