The reported discovery of diamonds in the lava bed of Mount Edgeconbe, Alaska, has led many prospectors to Sitka, where they are waiting for the snow to waste sufficiently to make ex- ploration possible. Eight stones have thus far been found. John G. Brady, a Sitka merchant, to whom they were first shown, has obtained a diamond expert and is to visit the extinct crater as soon as the season permits, but he will have plenty of fellow explorers, not so we'll equipped, but quite as eager.

England consumes 6000O0 pounds, or about 100000 gallons of tea every day, which is as much as is used by the rest of Europe, North and South Amer ica, Africa, and Australia combined. The green tea of former days has all most ceased to be Known. while the Twankay, Hyson, and gunpowder teas are seldom heard from. China only supplies one-twelfth of the quantity, the rest coming from India and Ceylon. The Indian tea goes half as far again as the Chinese, as regards color and flavor.

Many Stolen Cattle.

The return of the stockmen from the
roundup OF this county, says Lander
press dispatch, discloses the fact that
$4,000 worth of cattle have been stolen
during the spring and summer. These
losses are confined to small owners, who
had from 200 to 800 head on the range.
These men have lost fully two-thirds of
their cattle. The county attorney and
sheriff are actively engaged in making
arrests The facts are developed to
SHOW that most of the stolen stock have
been driven into Montana, and some of
them Lave been traced to parties who
have purchased them of thieves. The
method employed was the alteration of
brands. and parties who have investi-
gated say that the branding iron has
been used with great skill. This whole
sa,e stealing will bring ruin to many of

Passing of the Craze.

That the "silver craze" is not dying
out as claimed by the eastern goldbug
papers is evidenced by the fact that
these same papers continually harp upon
that statement. That it is increasing is
evidenced by the fact that the Demo
Gratis Of Missouri, Mississippi and Texas
have recently declared for silver; also
the Democrats of Illinois. Concerning
the outlook in the latter state Secretary
lIinrichsen said:
The free silver feeling is stronger IN
this state than at the time the FREQ sill
yer convention. The gold Democrats
could not carry single county In the
state. A free silver Democrat will be
nominated in the Eighteenth district to
succeed Congressman Remann." AS to
the coming elections in Illinois he said !:
illinois will send free silvar deisae.
ton to the national convention and on =
free silver platform we can carry the
state by $1,000 majority, while on a gold
platform we will be as badly beaten as
we were last fall"
And we are told that the silver craze
is diving out.
The Chicago Record straight gold
bug paper concluded to make little po-
litical capital, and so opened voting
contest where the people of the windy
city were invited to deposit ballots for
or against free 16-to-l coinage. The re-
suit was the worst sort of a boomerang,
s,02s voting for silver and 4,9Os against
it.
And we are told that the silver craze
is dying out.
The New York Mercury called upon
its readers to forward to its office their
ballots for or against silver. The fig
ures in New York and Brooklyn were
5,7l3 for and 376 against silver. and the
total vote from all the states was 62052
for and 1,7S3 against. The Mercury
says:
"Now the people feel and appreciate
the wrong that has been done in depriv-
ing them of one-half of the money of
ultimate redemption. They are deter
mined to restore silver to its full debt
paying power regardless of the action of
other nations. We dare any paper in
New York city to take a ballot on the
question of free coinage, knowing that
nine-tenths of the voters favor such a
policy by the United States without re-
gard to the action of other nations"
And we are told that the silver craze
is dying out.-Granite Pay Streak.

Denver had an awful calamity early
on Monday morning In the collapse of
the Gumry hotel, caused by an ex-
pIosion of the boiler in the basement.
An account of the catastrophe is given
on the third page of this issue. Among
those who met their death was General
Charles Adams, who was we'll known by
all the old-timers of the state and few

chief among which was the part he took
in rescuing the Meeker family from the
