a GREAT BUNTING OUTFIT.
The Extensivs Retinue of shu Khan of
.... .s.- EaRtAry.

The ExtenSiv0 Retinue OF thS Khan OF
.... TaRtary.
The emperor hath two barons who
are own brothers, one called Baian,
and the other Mingan; and these are
styled Ohinuchi (or Cunichi), which is
as much as to say: "The Keepers of the
Mastif Dogs" Each of these brothers
hath 10000 men under his orders; each
body of 10000 being dressed alike. the
one in red and the other in blue and
whenever they accompany the khan to
the, chase, they wear their livery. in
order to be recognized. Out of each
body of 10000 there are 1000 men who
are each in charge of one or more
great mastiffs, 50 that the whole num-
Der of these is very large. And when
the prince goes a-hunting one of those
barons, with his 10000 men and some
thing like 5000 dogs, goes towards the
right, whilst the other goes towards
the left with his parity in like manner.
They move along, all abreast of. one
another. so that the whole line extends
over full days journey, and no an
imal can escape them. Truly it is a
glorious sight to see the working of the
dogs and the huntsmen on such an oc-
casion! And as the khan rides a-fowl-
ing across the plains you will see these
big hounds. coming tearing up, one
pack after bear, another pack after
stag, or some other beast, as it may hap.
and running the game down, now on
this side, now on that, so that it is
really most delightful sport and
spectacle. r..'. .'
The two brothers have mentioned,
writes Noah Brooks in st. Nicholas,
are bound by the tenure of their Office
TO supply the khan court from Octo-
Der to the end of March with 1000
head of game daily, whether of beasts
or birds, and not counting quails; and
also with fish to the best Of their abiI-
ity, allowing fish enough for three
persons to reckon as equal to one head
of game. '..s.-' ...., --i..t>...,. ...

MINING By DREDGING.

New Methods In Montana TO Increase the
."-' Placer Production.
Montana Is experiencing revival IN
placer mining. Many new diggings have
been opened, and placer grounds aban-
doned years ago have attracted men with
capital enough to work them on scale
that makes them profitable. There Is ev-
cry promise that the placer production Of
gold in that state will in few years reach
an enormous figure. This year will great
" exceed last, and there are reasons why
this branch Of Montana's greatest industry
should steadily increase in Importance.
The greatest impetus to placer mining,
according to a Helena dispatch to the
Minneapolis Journal, hos come through
the application Of the steam dredge to Diff
flcult bars and creek beds that could not
be mined in the ordinary way. At the
present time the largest steam dredge ever
used in placer mining is earning $500 q
day in the bed of Grasshopper creek in
Beaverhead county. 1t can handle from
1000 to 5000 yards Of dirt every "a hours.
A larger dredge is being built in Milwau-
kee for the same company. There Is per-
haps no place in Montana where the dredge
can be used with 80 much success as In
Grasshopper guloh. For many years, In
fact, from tho earliest placer mining In
the territory, the bed Of the creek has baf-
fed all ordinary methods Of working.

The rush for the Klondyke gold
country still continues, and large
parties are leaving the Pacific
ports daily. Many steamers have
recently been added to the lines
going north from San Francisco,
Seattle and Tacoma, and every boat
that goes out is crowded. 1t will
soon be too late to take the Yukon
river route this season, but the
overland trip from Juneau can be
made at nearly all seasons, although
it is very dangerous in the winter
when severe storms are frequent
and the weather is extremely cold.
Still. the rush promises to keep on,
and many thousands will be on the
ground early next spring to take
advantage of the few months when
any work can be done in placer
mining. From Chicago party OF
one hundred men has just started
with provisions for three years
stay. They will take their own
boats from San Francisco, and ex'
plore the upper branches OF the
Yukon.

WEEK ENDING WEDNESDAY,. JULY -.
GENERAL CONDITIONS.
The week began with rain gen.
orally over the state, followed by
cloudy, cool weather. In tho
northern part Of state the rain
was phenomenally heavy, over
five inches being reported at
several points. All meadows were
filled with water, and crops on low
lands were submerged, SO that
considerable damage must result,
as the water has not drained of
rapidly. The cool weather after
the rains has most likely prevented
incalculable damage. On the
high.rolling lands the spring
wheat has find stand, with long
heads which are filling well, prom
Using a full crop, but on the low
and heavy lands the yield will not
be so good, nor of so good a quail
ity. In most of the southern part
of the state the spring wheat
does not look as well as in the
central section, though there
are some excellent fields there.
Considerable wheat and oats
were laid fiat by heavy rain, but
it is probable that good deal will
rise all right. In the southeastern
counties there is much damage
done to spring wheat and oats by
the chinch bugs, and there are
scattered complaints of chinch
bugs and blight in other parts of
the state. Winter wheat is being
cut in the southeastern counties.
Barley is ripening in the north
and being cut in the south. Rye
is generally cut, and some is in
stack. Oats are turning color.
Upland hay cutting is in progress
in most parts of the state, with
what is generally short crop
Much of this has been rained on,
and some has been entirely spoiled.
Wild hay will be light and late, as
the meadows continue very wet.
Potatoes, where not too wet, are
dong finely. Corn has made a
rapid growth, and there is much
in tassel, but there are many fields
which will not mature before frost.
