SNOW. and Old Reoollections.

In the winter of 1851-52 the writer
hereof, with three other young men,
were prospecting in California, and
finally brought up at Mississippi Bar,
North Yuba, where we located river
claim of 1900 feet of river bed. We
built a log cabin and sent one of our
party, Gideon Brooks, to Marysville, 81
miles distant, for a years supplies, while
the other three finished the cabin and
opened bar diggings. Mr.. Brooks. who
went after the provisions, got snow
bound, and so were we, as there fell
about nine feet of snow on the level, and
as we knew nothing about snow-shoes,
we waited for a thaw. In the mean
while we lived on beans straight, as
that was all we had. No salt, no sugar,
no -four, no tobacco, emo nothing" but
beans, on which we lived for twenty
eight days, by which time the snow and
everything else but the everlasting taste
of beans had lost their terrors, and we
determined to get out, as death was
preferable by any other route than the
bean line. So we started. We waded,
rolled and travelled in the creek beds
until we got three miles, late at night,
to Hampshire mill, where we were met
with the cheerful information that they
had nothing to eat but beans. As we
were not anguishing for that kind of
diet, we followed their advice to keep
on, which we did to Pine Grove, about
two miles further, where we arrived at
about midnight, weary, wet and hungry
for anything but beans. The landlady
kindly got out of bed and went to work
getting US one of the finest suppers it
was ever my good fortune to surround.
There were bacon, hot biscuits and
coffee, to which you may be sure we did
ample justice.
Next morning, finding we could buy
Iisupplies, we stocked up. For -four we
paid 81 per pound, bacon $1.25, coffee
50, tobacco 81, powder So for one pound
can, lead rs cent per pound, and gun
caps So per hundred. After making our
packs of rs pounds per man, we started
down the mountain, and arrived at our
cabin at about p. M, pretty well tired
out, but in good spirits. One of the boys
remarked: "Wait until spring and
we'll take out the DUST" which we did
to the amount of So 900 each.

There was quite lively runaway yes
terday afternoon, the team belonging to
Ward & Kerns. A tug came loose, and
when the gentleman who was driving
passed the lines over to the lady who
was enjoying the ride with him, while
he got out to fasten it, he little thought
that the sleigh ride was going to-end
right there, but it did. One of the
horses kicked with one foot, doing no
damage, except to shatter the confidence
of the lady who had the lines, who
dropped them and jumped out. The
horses Ift,out for the stable. The dam
age was slight.

The CROP report Of the gtatigtician Of

The crop report of the statistician of
the department of agriculture for 1894,
issued Jan. 10th of this year, shows that
South Dakota, although appealing to the
country for aid, raised enough to more
than supply its own people. OF corn,
the product was 1, ,49O, ,345 bushels and of
wheat 15 1884, ,255 bushels.
DIR. Brosius and Constable Olinger Of
Hood River came up on the local this
afternoon, bringing with them w. D.
Rogers, young man of that place, who
is insane. He was examined as soon as
he arrived by Judge Blakeley and DIR.
Brosius, and will be sent to the asylum
tomorrow. His hallucination is that his
relatives want to injure him and he has
a suicidal tendency.
Testimony is being taken at the office
of Huntington & Wilson before referee
J. M. Huntington, in the case of Peter
Gotfrey against w. S. Myers and T. J..
Driver as sheriff. The suit is brought to
enjoin the enforcement of judgment in
the case of Myers against Gotfrey. The
contention is that the date in the copy of
the summons served on Gotfrey was
different from that in the original sum-
mons. AS the copy in dispute is lost
there are a number of affidavits filed to
prove what it contained.
The crop report for the year 1894,
issued by the department of agriculture
a few days ago, gives the following
as the values OF the years crop:
Corn, $544, ,719 1872; wheat, $225. .902. .25 !;
oats, $214, ,s16, ,92O; barley, $27,134, ,127 /;
rye, $13, 1894 .476; buckwheat, 81, ,O4O, ,2SS ;
potatoes, $91, ,526, ,7s7; hay, 46S, ,578, ,321 ;
tobacco, 27,76O, ,739. One would hardly
think that the oat crop of the United
States was nearly as valuable as the
wheat crop, or that the hay was double
the-yalue of either, yet such is the case.

BOGUS STAMPS.
SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AR
RESTED FOR COMPLETELY.
If Now Looks as Though All the
Clever Frauds Would Soon Be in
the Tolls.

Chicago, April 1S.-United States
secret service men have arrested c. 0.
Jones, a newspaper artist of this city,
for completely in counterfeiting the 2
cent stamps. Another man also was
taken into custody but his identy was
not revealed.
At o'clock this morning, Mr.. Jones
was closeted with Captain Porter and
Inspector Stuart. Just exactly what
his five hours in the sweat box induced
him to divulge is not known, but
more arrests in Chicago and otner
cities are expected. The officers are
certain they are on the right trail, and
will soon have the entire gang In ad-
dition to gaining possession OF the
machinery with which the work was
done. 1t seems the stamp collectors OF
America spotted the swindle SCI erai
months before Uncle Sans detee tlves.
They laid the peculiar appearance or
the counterfeits to some bungling
hands in the governments new print
ing department The philaletic press
took the matter up and several of the
stamp magazines got into a spirited
row over the exact difference between
the "rarities' as they call the counter
feits and the genuine The price or
these ''rarities' had not been of1ci-
ally set at the time Of the discovery or
the counterfeiting but it is somewhat
ludicrous fact that SPECTATORS were
offering as high as 50 and 50 for them.

New Rigs Being Erected.

Toledo, April 1S.-The number Of
new rigs that are being erected in the
northwestern Ohio field, is something
enormous, and if the price of crude
product holds up anywhere near
what it is now, the oil trade
will make this by far the great
est boom in the history of
the Trenton limestone field. People
who never. had an idea OF embarking
IN the oil business are out hustling for
leases. There is fascination about
the oil industry that catches them ALL
and when once in 1t they are there to
stay. Every outgoing train in the
direction of the oil country is loaded
down with passengers. Ten-barrel
territory is now considered very valu-
able by the trade, which is hust1ing
after il. On Saturday last, the ship
ments of Lima crude by the Buckeye
Pipe Line company amounted to a.
119 barrels. The runs were 113,543 bar
rels. The large runs are accounted for
by the selling of oil by those parties
who were holding for better prices.
The shipments were very large. and
if they average that for any length of
time the surplus will diminish vsry
rapidly.
The largest and most important we'll
completed in the Trenton Rock dictricL
during the past few days is the prop
erty of Tail &McDonald, located near
Montpelier. 1t started at better than
300 barrels a day.

AN ANARCHIST PLOT.
HAD A DESIRE TO BLOW UP FELIX
FAURE.
commenced Their OperntiOns-In-
fernaI Machines Found.

Paris, April 1S.-The Petit Journal
today says it has good authority to
state that the police department is in
vestigating an anarchist plot to assas-
sinate President Felix Faure during
the fetes in Havre in honor of his
visit TO his electorate. The president
arrived there safely today.
According to the Petit journal. an
anarchist known as Petit Bor-
deaux, a type similar to Cesario and
Ravachol left London recently for
Havre to assassinate President Faure.
Petit Bordeaux, who is deserter
from the French army, was watched
by the London police and by French
detectives detailed to keep an eye on
the anarchists in London. The author
tiles are taking most active precau-
tiOns to protect the president from in
jury. Whether the story is true or
not, it would seem certain at least
that the anarchists have recon-
menced their operations. for two in
fernal machines. were found in this
city yesterday. The first was found
in Rue St. Simon, and contained a
number of loaded cartrides. The sec
ond was found on Esplanade Des In
Valides, and consisted of a cylinder,
charged with dynamite.

Washington, April 1S.-The impress
sion is growing here that President
zelaya, of Nicaragua. has taken too
optimistic a view of the state Of the
relations between Great Britain and
his own country in assuming that the
former has decided to desist from
carrying out her ultimatum to Near
aqua and that she will agree to allow
the claim for indemnity to go to arbi-
tration.
1t is regarded as a significant fact
here that the Earl of Kimberly, the
British foreign minister, has just re-
turned suddenly to London and it is
believed the true explanation of the
delay in action is to be found in the
fact that none of the subordinates in
the British foreign office felt like as
Stunning the responsibility for action in
the absence of the earl.
Or. Guzman, the Nicaraguan min
lister here, has not heard from his gov
eminent as to Great Britain's purpose,
put he is hourly expecting an answer
10 his cabied inquiry. From the de-
lay in answering he believes the
Nicaraguan government is as yet un-
informed as to the latest phases of the
situation and it probably is in com
munication with its representative at
London.
Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British
Ssr1oassador, received no advices on the
subject today. While there is an
absence of official information, the
diplomatic officials regard it as settled
mat Great Britain will proceed to en-
force her claim against Nicaragua by
moderate but firm means. The impress
SION also prevails that with parliament
IN session the government would NOT
FISK an appeal to that BODY by
nooeratlng or yielding to the pro-
posals of a minor power.

Field Operations.

Bradford, Pa, April 1S.-As far as
speculation in oil is concerned Brad
ford was not in the hunt today to any
extent Information was received
from Oil City to the effect that all out
standing oil traIes must be closed and
no more orders would be accepted of
any kind of margins and business
would not be transacted in the oil ex
change until there was some money in
sight. 1t began to dawn on the people
in Bradford that. yesterdays slump
was a move manipulated by the Stand
ard to gobble up what few certificates
were in circulation, and it is said no
less than 500 Of them were dumped on
the market during the break. There
are $50 of them outstanding and as
soon as the remainder Of them have
been sold speculation in oil will be a
thing of the past FieId operations
continue brisk and will probably re-
main so long as the pipe line prices
remain above the 50 mark. Refined oil
has advanced to 1215 cents per gal
lon in this city by retail.

Guzman Talks of the Surrender of
the Concession.

the Concession,
Washington, April 1S.-Dr. Guzman.
the Nicaraguan minister, was asked
To-Day concerning report that Near
aqua desired that the present Near
aguan Canal company should surrender
the concession under which work has
Deen done thus far, and that the United
otdtes ana Nicaragua should Jointly
e e,ue[.ahe me future work as a gov
ernmental enterprise The minister
explained the report was due to a mis-
apprehension. The Nicarag guam govern
ment had no wish. he said. that fine
company should surrender its conces-
sion 40
1t had every confidence that the COM
pany would push the enterprise with
an possible speed. Under these circurn-
stances. DR.. Guzman said, the Joint
governmental action was not a live one
and 1T was needless to speculate on a
contingency which Nicaragua did not
regard as remote possibility. The gov
eminent wanted to give every facility
ana encouragement to the company.
ana ala not want the impression to
seI abroad that it considered a for
TEXTURE likely or even possible.
Dr. Guzman says the misapprehen-
sion arose through crediting to him a
statement which he had communicated
TO the state department as an enclo-
sure. The statement had been made
during an interview between the
United States minister at Nicaragua
and the government authorities, 1t
was forwarded to Dr. Guzman, and by
him sent to the state department with
out any intention of endorsing the
views. 1t has since been found that the
report Of the interview at Managua
was very defective Minister Baker
was talking IN English and understood
no Spanish. The Nicaraguan minister
was talking in Spanish and understood
no English. There was naturally some
misunderstanding from which the re-
cent reports have arisen.
