The mincral-producing district Of

atiyely little prospecting has been done

to 1892 silver was discovered in
several localities Ia southeast portion
Of the coast country, bat tho depre-
ciation Of that metal discouraged in
yestigation into the extent OF tho de-
posts, which in some instances we're
most encouraging. The largest deposit
Of this ore was found in VIVA is
known as Sheep Greek Basin, about
two miles north of the famous
Treadwell Gold Mines, but on the
opposite side Of Gastineau Channel.
In 1885, at Golofnin Bay, an arm
Of Norton Sound, just north Of where
the Yukon River pours its waters into
Bering Sea, rich galena deposits we're
found, and it is undoubtedly fact
that it was Of such easy access and SO
rich in silver that it proved profitable
to mine and ship the ore to San
Francisco, a distance of over two
thousand miles by water Over
$50, 600 was expended by the company
operating this mine in 1892, but
Encouragement and internal dissen-
sions caused a cessation Of work, the
resumption of which would doubtless
awake an interest in the mineral
prospects Of that portion Of Alaska
In the coast country gold Is princi-
pally obtained by crushing ore, while
in the interior washing and sluicing
are the only means employed.
1t is doubtful if prospecting in any
other country in the world is fraught
with the obstacles and discourage
ments that are encountered in Alaska.

WILLARD CITY, Utah, April a
Last night burglars entered the gen
rral merchandise store of C. Harding
& Co. by breaking window in the
rear of the building.
The money drawers were broken
open, but as the cash had all been re-
moved the night previously, with the
exception of about a dollar in small
change, the intruder took about s25 in
scrip, or due bills on the store, as a
substitute for money. A number of
pairs of shoes were taken, a quantity
of underwear, bolt of cashmere cloth,
a pair of blankets and a number of
minor articles. No clue has yet been
obtained of the guilty party or parties.

NEPHI, April 3.-On the 9th of Jan
uary of the present year a young man
by the name of Fred Farmer left here
in company with William r. May, both
of Nephi. Their intention was to make
a prospecting trip along the Colorado
river. May has returned home and
claims that his partner, Farmer, de-
serted him after quarrel.
Farmers wife and mother have re-
ceiyed three letters from him since he
left town.
One was dated St. George, Feb. 81;
another, St. Thomas, New, Feb. "A,
and the last one was written on the
Colorado river, near Scanlan's Ferry,
and was dated Feb. is. Since then
they have received no word from him.
The last letter was written the day
after his arrival on the river. and in
1t he said that he and his companion
were preparing to commence prospect
ing.
May processes to be a mind reader,
and since his return to this city he
has told several tales about Farmer,
among others that he intended 10 de-
sert his family, and that is why the
prospecting trip was planned. He said
he did not know it at the time, but
bscame convinced of it later. May
aroused public Indignation by his ac-
lions, and now he, too, has disappear
ed. His relatives or those appealed
to, say that he has gone on a pros
pecting trip up the Sewer.
Farmers reputation while a resident
of this place has always been of 'the
best, and he was noted as a devoted
husband and a loving father, and a
good son to his widowed mother.
There were those who darkly limited
that May had made away with Far

ed a meeting of the citizens of the city
1t was held in the Foote opera house,
and there was a very large number
present. Mayor Booth was made chair
man and T. c. VIM, secretary.
The chairman stated the object of
the meeting, which was to take into
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY of send
ing out a searching party, and also to
raise the means to defray the expenses
After some discussion, a committee of
four was appointed to canvass the
town for subscriptions. AS a result,
the sum of Sis was raised. William
Lee, the old prospector and miner VINO
will be in charge of the party, and the
volunteers who go out to find the re-
mains of Farmer or discover his where
abouts, will leave the city tomorrow.
While there are very many rumors
afioat. The Herald correspondent at
this time does not care to go further
than to say that the circumstances are
very suspicious, to say the least and
thsre is not soul in town but will
anxiously await the return of the
searching party, the members of which
will leave no stone unturned to find the
exact reason for the peculiar disap-
pearance of young Farmer.
His relatives are almost insane with
grief. and it has been many years since
Nephi was so thoroughly stirred up
over any circumstance.

YEsrERnAY,s FIRE.

Yesterday about 11:45 H. H. Shurtliff
and NJ. j. Hathaway were walking
along Twenty-first street between
Washington and Grant avenues when
they discovered flames and smoke ris-
ing from the roof near the chimney of
the two-story brick house situated
about the middle of the block on the
north side of the street. Shurtliff ran
to the alarm box on Washington ave-
nue. and Hathaway ran to warn the
residents of the house. The department
was there about as soon as Shurtliff got
back from the alarm box and a nice
quick clean job they made of extin-
gushing the fire. It was caused by
a defective fue and had not yet burn
ed down through the ceiling from the
attic. The blaze was put out by means
of the chemical without so much as

Late Thursday night the residence
of Joseph Taylor of Harrisville, burned
to the ground. It is surmised that the
fire caught from the kitchen stove, as
that part of the house was first dis
covered TO be in flames. 1t was dis
covered about IL o'clock and the neigh
bors, by forming a bucket brigade, got
the fire under control, but no sooner
had they relaxed their efforts, thinking
it was out, than the fire broke out
again, reducing the house to ashes in
short time. The fire came so suddenly
and while the family were asleep that
several of Mr. Taylor's children es-
capped only with their night clothing.
The house and furniture, valued at
ST. 900, were completely destroyed. This
was fully covered by insurance in the
Phoenix of Brooklyn.
