Yukoners. For instance, here are some
notes: -Four, 90 cents per sack; three
SACKS of apricots were given away; plug
tobacco was 20 cents per pound; five gal
Ions OF pickles, so cents; beans, 81 per
sack; two horses that were bought for $12
and sis in Portland sold for $500 cash.
Now about horses: IL week or ten days
after this next trip OF the Elder, horses
will not be in demand there. There IS no
feed here except what is taken in. Hay
is $50 per ton. The horses can be used
only at the present time, and this winter
all their bones will be bleaching on the
mountain passes. The most that can be
expected of the animals taken in there
now is just about two round trips over the
passes. You can count on 200 pounds to
the horse and about two trips now, and
then their usefulness is at an end. But
the stories OF remarkable prices being
paid for animals is all bosh. A man needs
horses there now, but the demand will
not last long and so you can figure out
how we'll it will pay to take them.''

gings and rich pockets are not monopoliz-
ing the attention OF miners and prospectors
in and about the Coffee Creek country.
Quartz is coming in for its share of the
excitement, and the very latest rich strike
reported from the Coffee Creek fields is
from vein of quartz.
This rich strike was made public to-day
and a small-sized sample of the ore was
brought to Redding by a gentleman
named Wilson, who had just arrived from
Yreka. The sample was about six inches
long, five inches wide and about two
inches thick. 1t was literally filled with
gold and contained about 5000.
The ore was taken from the ledge near
the surface. the new discovery is sit
uated on Hickory Greek, a branch of
Coffee Creek, and about nine miles above
the Graves brothers celebrated find OF
last Saturday. A well-deized ledge two
and a half feet wide and about 1000 feet
long has been thus far discovered, and ore
taken indiscrimiDately from different
parts of the ledge varies in richness from
S75 to $4,000 per ton.
The discovery of shis property makes an
interesting story. About three months
ago an old miner named Akens applied
for and was granted admission TO the
county hospital of Siskiyou County, To-
Gated at Yreka.
After being at the County Poorhouse
for two months Aikens conceived the idea
that he could make living at mining If
given a start, and applied to the Super
visors OF Slskiyou County for means by
which he could fit himself out with pros
pector's outfit and enable him to begin
operations. This the Supervisors refused
to do, and Aikens returned to the Poor
house disheartened. He finally applied
