4 WILDCAT CLAIM,
Unlike Other VIA Cats, II Is
Said To BE Immensely


tcUtO 4 U be IWuneuSefU
Rich.
From the Spokane Review
A very rich body of gravel ha
been struck in the Wildcat claim
mt the mouth of John Days creek
on Salmon river, owned by IL,
Victor Mining Company of Spo
kane. This property has been fit
ted up in first-class shape for by,
draulic mining, and piping com.
menced about week ago.
In the investigation pursued by
prospecting the ground during the
past six months large body Of
gravel was shown up that carried
gold at the rate of 81 per cubic
yard. Since regular piping COM
menced the rimrock has been
reached, and was found to be
pitching back into the bar; and
lying next to bedrock and on the
inside of this rim there has been
eight feet of gravel exposed that
prospects $40 per cubic yard,
coarse gold being found in the sub
strata of gravel next to bedrock.
This claim will make its own ers
rich in one season if such ground
as this is found to continue on in
to the bar. About 800 miners
inches of water is being used, and,
with the day and night operation,
the company are handling over
1000 cubic yards of gravel per day
of "a hours, with an expense of
not to exceed 9 cents per cubic
yard. They have ground in sight
to last them lifetime.
The Victor company spent all of
last summer getting ready to be-
gin active operations early this
spring. 1t was found necessary to
construct a flume a mile and q half
in length around a mountain side
in order to get proper dump for
the tailings. This fiume was COM
pleted late in the fall.
A large amount of money was
expended in getting ready for
work, but the owners were conf
dent they would soon get it all
back, as they have an immense
amount of ground that prospected
very rich. This is the same region
where hundreds of thousands of
dollars were taken out in the
early days. Much of the ground
was only skinned over, and the
ground owned by the Victor COM
pany is of such nature that it
could not be worked with the
primitive methods in use at that
time.
The new flume affords a 35O-foot
head OF water, and with the little
giant hydraulic, with 1O-inch
pipe, the force is sufficient to tear
down a whole mountain ifneces-
sary. The company now has a 90
foot dump, and is in position tol
conduct operations on large
scale. ,
Everything was gotten in readi.
ness last fall for an early start this
spring, and operations were begun
on the 9th of last month under {
the direction of George Gabbart,
the superintendent. Senator C. n
w. Ide, one Of the members of the 8
said last night that they
knew the rich gravel was there c
md that they had been expecting t
every day to receive a report that G
they had struck it.
Among the principal stockhold-
ers in the Victor company are
Senator John l.. Wilson, Charles
;. Voorhees,, A. w. Strong, c. w. il
lde and George II. Gabbart. Mr.. r
Strong and Mr.. Ide spent the
greater part of last summer at the
scene of operations.

The Briscoe boys are running a
drift on the Toledo claim with a
view OF finding the most favorable
place for sinking a shaft as soon as
the snow leaves.
Jas. Mccartney has begun work
ON an eighty foot tunnel on the
Jumbo, which will tap ledge at a
depth of 40 feet. This claim will
no doubt prove to be valuable
property, for while but little de-
velopment work has been done,
surface indications point to large
body of high grade ore.
A small vein of rich ore has been
encountered on the Gold Cross
tunnel, which being independent
OF the main ore body, adds to the
wealth of this already valuable
property.
The sawmill after great delay
by bad weather is now running
steadily and turning out first. class
lumber.
Notwithstanding bad weather,
deep snow and lack of lumber,
considerable building is being done
in Florence; among which might
be mentioned two-stOry hotel
nearly completed and already do
ing business; three stores; two sa-
looms; a meat market and several
residences. Many orders have
been placed for lumber by parties
who will build as soon as the snow
is gone. All this bids fair for the
future of Florence.
Permission has been asked of the
post Office department for the re-
moval of the post office from it's
present location at Boycr's mill to
the new town of Florence.
The quartz mill which has been
idle for about month will resume
work in a few days. Owing to the
deep snow, the cost of hauling
wood has been SO great the pro-
prietors deemed it best to await
the advent of better and clearer
weather. Hence the shut down.
Owing to the breakup" which
is now taking place, many streams
are very high, and travel is al.
most impossible over the deeper
ones; as a further result of the ex-
IRENE dampness, nearly everyone
IS suffering from what appears to
DC the grippe in mild form.
The sudden death of Frank
Markham, as reported in last
weeks F. p, has cast deep gloom
'ver the whole camp, for while but '
! late-comer here his quiet gentle {
manly behavior won the good will
md respect of all, and the heart {
cit sympathy of Florence is ex-
ended to his bereaved family. q
Ernest Pribilsky, late of Grange '

1t Will Not BE Added to the Flag
Until July Next.
The admission of Utah into the Union of
states requires the addition Of another
star to the American flag. Although Utah
is now 4 fuil-fedged state, the change in
"Old Glory will not be made until July 4
next. On and after that date there will be
officially forty-five stars in the national
ensign. being nearly three and half times
the number of the original states. The
admission of Utah have been fulfilled, but
there are number Of formalities yet to be
observed. One of these is an executive
order to the army and navy, announcing
the addition of another star to the national
1896.
All the flags that are issued by the gov
ernnlent after that date will bear the full
complement of forty-five stars. but many
of the old flags will continue to float in the
breezes with only the present number of
stars, and without any people being the
wiser.
The official arrangement of the stars and
of the stripes in the flag is in charge of a
special board Of army and navy officers.
While it has not yet been officially decided,
it is more than probable that the new star
will be added to the fifth row from the top.
This addition, 1t is said, will make the ap-
paarance of the union even more symmet-
rical than it is at present.
There are now six rows of stars in the
union, the top and bottom vows being each
composed of eight stars and the other four
of seven stars each. In case of the admis-
sion of another state, its star would be
added to the second row, thus making the
top two rows and the bottom two rows
harmoniZe completely.

A MESSENGER OF PLUCK.
Henry Mathews Meets With n Serious

Henry Mathews Meets With n Serious
Accident, but Keeps His Nerve.
Henry Mathews, young fellow who is a
clerk and messenger at the West End Ma
tional Bark, is now laid up for repairs at
the home of friends on New York avenue
as the resLlt of front-end collision with
a delivery wagon ct Sd and e streets.
And there Is e story of the sort of cour-
age in 1t which makes soldiers and heroes
and that Kind, don't you know.
Mathews was on collecting trip, and
had with him about $1,000 Of the bank s
funds. He was proceeding at an or
dinary gait when the delivery wagon. at
full speed, swung around the corner, and
before Mathews could cay scat" 1t was
on him and all over him. The tongue
struck him square In the forehead, cutting
a five-inch glancing cash across his face,
and. of course, knocking him off his wheel.
The wagon then went on over him, and
when he came out of the wreck he was
bruised ard scratched and generally knock
ed out, ard one arm was dislocated at the
| wrist and broken between the wrist
and the elbow, dislocated at the elbow,
and broken again between the elbow and
shoulder: Strange to say. he had his wits
about him, notwithstanding what he had
passed through and his first thought was
Of the banks funds. He shook himself to-
gether and at once ordered the delivery
drltef 10 loau MIN into MS wagon ana dr1Ve
as fast as he could to the bank, distance
of over a mile, and Mathews came in, look
ing like a tramp after dog wrestle. and re-
marking that though he was slightly dis
figured, he was still in the ring, he turned
over the money to cent and squared his
accounts. Then he didn't faint, as a story
book would have it. but with that smashed
arm dangling loose at the sport of the
wind, as it had been dangling during this
ride Of a mile or more, he went off to the
Emergency Hospital and had Iimself patch
ed up before presenting himself at the
house of his friends where ihe proposed
staying until he was able to get around
again. He is doing nicely ROW, and there
and be quite as good as he was before the
run down.
In conclusion 1t may be said that the
bicycle escaped without scratch, and that
the delivery wagon driver. didn't charge
Mathews cent for delivering him at the
bank

ADMITTED BY SPAIN.
That News From Cuba is Most In
favorable.


BARCELONA, Spain, January 6-News
=. most unfavorable to the Spanish govern
nent has been received here from Cuba
1t is understood that the insurgent forces
are pressing around Havana.
MADRID, January Ca dispatch re-
ceiyed from Havana says that the in
surgents attempted to wreck a train on
the Neuvitas-Puerto Principe railroad,
which was conveying 300 passengers and a
large number of soldiers. dynamite
be NIB connected with an electric wire was
exploded close to the engine and wrecked
1t. The insurgents then attempted to cap-
:, doing by the arrival of a detachment of
Spanish troops. Several of the passengers
we're wounded and the engineer of the
train was killed.
The news of this affair was first an
rCunCed by the Associated Press on Sat
urtay afternoon last. The engine was
blown up at the station.
The campaign in Cuba is being closely
observed by the administration, I'm view of
the reiterated reports of insurSent Sue
cCsses in their operations rear Havana. In
the event that they actually attack tha
capital of the island in force, it is possible
that the North Atlantic squadron may be
ordered TO Havana, in order TO be in po-
sition TO guard American interests during
the disturbed conditions that may be ex-
pected to accompany siege. 1t is not
probaole that exception could be taken 10
