THE JACOBS euLcH kLoNDykE.

The Nugget mentioned, couple of
weeks since, that DeLamar parties had
taken up claims upon the lower portion
of Jacobs Gulch. They began pros,
pectlngSthere several weeks ago and
dug a ditch and sunk holes sufficient
to record seven claims. Then, the
others all being at work in the
mine, one of them, j. S. Demming,
was put on the ground with pan
and rOcker.-At the end of 20 days he
had seven pounds of amalgam to show
for his twenty days work. 1t is es-
timated that the seven pounds of am
algam will retOrt not less than forty
ounces of bullion, worth twelve dol
lars an ounce. Let us say $3.50 for
twenty days work. Mr.. Demming
claims that when in proper shape, with
ditch and water, all the seven men
can make that kind of wages, and
that they have lots of ground to work
The upper end of Jacobs Gulch pro-
duced vast quantity of the yellow
stuff thirty years ago, and all of Jor-
dan Creek was worked from above
Silver City to Wagontown, a distance
of fully ten miles. in the sixties, and
has been worked over by the China
men since. 1t seems almost incred
IDLE that this section Of more than a
mile of side guleh should prove to be
rich and overlooked by prospectors,
but seven pounds of amalgam for
twenty days work seems to prove that
such was the case.
LATER->ince the above was in
type the amalgam has been retorted
and only weighed 30 ounces, so we
take back part of what we said.-De

OF money in his possession, which he
spent freely. He also had the team
that the two had been driving. This
team belonged to the victim of the
tragedy. He had picked up st. Clair
along the road. When the latter was
asked at Van Wyck on Saturday
where the owner of the team was he
replied he had gone on with "a freight
outfit and that he tSt. CLAIM was to
oVertake him.
There were some other suspicious
circumstances which lead to the inYes-
tigation. The body of the murdered
man was dragged into the brush, as
stated in yesterdays Statesman. 1t
seems that the dragging was done be-
hind the wagon that belonged to the
victim. The man was killed by two
shots through the head. A rope was
then put in his mouth and around his
neck, the other end being attached to
the axle of the wagon. When st. Clair
had dragged the body as far as he
wished he simply cut the rope and
drove back, the piece still dangling
behind when the fellow was arrested.
When st. Clair was taken into custo.
dy he was placed in irons. There
were no regulation hand cuffs con.
venient and the services of local
blacksmith were secured to rivit chains
upon the murderer.
There was considerable talk about
lynching st. Clair, many of those who
gathered about openly declaring that
the county should be saved the ex-
pense of trying such a criminal. St.
Clair took the matter very coolly.
st. Clair declared that he was a
brotherin-law of Orlando Robbins
Mr.. Robbins last evening branded the
statement as an absolute falsehood.

A 1HRIFrY RANcHEa.

The Boise Statesman says: G. L.
Clayton, who lives a couple of miles
west of Meridian and half mile south,
was in the city yesterday. He has
been resident of Idaho for only a
comparatively short time, but is an ex-
ample of what the enterprising farmer
can accomplish in this, the farmers
paradise. He, in conjunction with
two others, put in 100 acres in potatoes
this year. Mr.. Clayton himself has 40
acres. This land was in sagebrush
last year and had to be cleaned off this
spring. To cover the necessary cost of
planting the potatoes, it was necessary
to borrow money, The crop of pota.
toes is now being gathered and Mr..
Clayton is reaping the beuelits by judi.
cious farming. The entire crop has
been sold to Omaha parties at 45 cents
per hundred, delivered at Soma station
sacks being furnished for the output.
A considerable acreage of the crop has
been gathered and it is turning out
from $50 to 275 bushels per acre. The
cost per acre of raising the big tub.
ers was about $40 and they are netting
their owner approximately $50 per
acre. The potatoes command the
highest price in the Omaha market.
1t is said that Idaho potatoes bring
so per cent more than those from any
other locality. The dealers take Mr..
Clayton's output without any sorting
at 45 cents per hundred, which is
equivalent, he says, to receiving 65 cents
for itin Boise.

bers. MessFs. Kress and Leland met
the deputy from Cotton and his crowd
coming down the hill with the remains
of the mail bags and strong box. It
appears that the robbers looted the
mail and express on the ground with
out leaving any clew, There was
nothing in the express apparently for
all the packages left unbroken and
they check up with the way bills
Two of the mail pouches were cut
open and the contents rifed. What
was obtained from this source is not
known nor viii 1t be known till official
investigation is had. 1t is thought
however that the highwayman got very
little for his labor.
Sheriff Barton returned about 10 a.
m. but could throw no new light on
the matter. He examined the ground
thoroughly and is confident that one
man did the job. The track of a
broad soled shoe is the only track dis.
cernable in the road or In the field
near the road. In his opinion one
man, a six,shooter and little nerve
did the whole business. He searched
several moving wagons found along the
road but could find no clew. The ak
is missing from the field of action.
1t could not be discovered among the
plumber of the movers nor at any of
the farm houses in that vicinity. Up
to date nothing further has been
done TO ferret out the mystery or to
bring the men to justice.-Lewiston

the Klondyke, returned Saturday even.
ing. He gives highly interesting
narrative of his experiences. He sailed
from Seattle on Aug. 9Th, arriving at
Bear HarbOr on the T4th and at st.
Micheals on the Goth. After about
10 days he started up the Yukon in
company with l40 other passengers.
On the way up one man died from
eating poison canneded corn.
They reached MinoOk creek. 100
miles up the river. 1t was doubtful IL
the vessel could reach Dawson, and %
OF the passengers went ashore The
company sold them nine months pro-
visions and promised to take them M
to Klondike in the spring. The others
insisted on making the attempt to
reach Dawson. 1t failed, however, to
get over the sand bars, and the pas
sengers were all brought to Minook,
the sight of the projected town of
Rampant.
The men at Minook staked all the
gulch through which that stream runs.
Mr.. Girty and his Eve partners Sc
cured three claims. It is thought the
ground on the creek may be good.
There are three properties that are
said to have shown up rich. While
prospecting, young man from New
York, aged %, who went out without
provisions became exhausted and died.
Mr.. Girty and his party found and
buried his body.
Mr.. Glrty's partners determined to
remain, but he was Ill and concluded
to take the boat down stream and re-
turn to Boise. He says there are SO
many people in there now, If there is
another district like the Klondyke, it
will certainly be found next season.
The country is very difficult one to
prospect in. 1t is covered with moss,
and animals can not be subsisted. Con
seqnently the men have to pack their
outfits, aad none can get along who is
not able to do the hardest kind of
work.
There is an abundance of provisions
at Minook and Fort Yukon, aud Mr..
Girty does not think there will be any
suffering for food.
Mr.. Girty sailed from st. MicheaIs
on October 9Th. At that time the
river was frozen over solid 1T the
mouth and navigation was closed for
the winter.
