Then the three persons who had rid
den in advance remounted their horses,
and the procession again took up its line
of march Within hearing of the station,
a guitar and tambourine, handled by
PLAYERS concealed within the recesses Of
the covered wagon, struck up a quick
step, and the procession came on IN style.
In advance rode the leader, magnificent

One was a Mexican boy, with grotesque-

Mexican woman, whose duskiness Of
cheek and luxuriant lines of strong,
supple form showed the prodominance
of the Indian strain in her blood. Upon
her head was a gilded coronet. Her low
cut silk bodice was ornamented with
bars of silver in front. Her shapcly
arms and shoulders were brown and
bare. Her eyes were bold and flashing.
She sat her horse with the ease and con-
fidence of q professional oquostrienne.
"Well, I'll be -" said one of the
prospectors who had strolled mp TO the
station, but no one else spoke as the
procession, to the sound of guitar and

turned in line to face us, the impressive
looking man in the middle and the lady
and the clown upon either side of him.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Bishop FOSs of New York 10 Take Part.
ISidOr Mayer as Freacher.-A New
Cure for Drunkenness = The Unex-
plOred Regions of Alaska.

Dr. j. D. Carnahan of Ogden came
in from Willow Creek Saturday and
went to his home by the afternoon
train. The doctor is one of the own
ers of the Checkmate. He reports that
work was progressing nicely on the
property and that developments were
satisfactory. They had a porphyrv
foot wall for some 40 feet. AS seems
to be the case in every instance in
which porphYrY constitutes the foot
wall, the value of the ore was lower
than the average. The work has left
the porphyry, however, and the grade
of the ore now being found is as high
as that formerly taken out.
DIR. Canadians immediate object in
visiting the camp at this time was to
inspect the Sacramento, in which he
is an owner. In this claim, at depth
of 80 feet, they have 10 inches of ore
averaging $45. A trial lot of the ore
is to be sent in to the Steen mill for
determining how it will work. Plans
TOT development of the property de-
pend largely upon the result of this
test,
The doctor said the Dewey people
had built an ore house on the Judas.
which was good indication that they
have something. He was informed
that ore was being sacked and stored
in the chamber at the 200 foot level.
He said he thought the Judas would
be found to dip against certain Dor
phyry dyke and that this would be the
foot wall below. In his opinion, if the
porphyry proves to be the hanging wall
at the greater depth, the vein will be
strong and rich.
Speaking of the appearance of the
camp as a whole, DR.. Carnaham said
1t was very good. In fact, he said, if
such showing were made anywhere
else the mining world would be in a
state of crazed excitement over it.

DATA ABOUT THE YUKON RIVER

There are a great many inquiries
about the Yukon river nowadays: but
there is very little informtion to be OBJ
tanned in regard to it. 1t is claimed
that the Yukon is the fifth river in
point of size in the United States, being
20t4 miles in length. Its entire source
through American territory is navig-
able for steamboats,, but as to how
large boats can safely navigate the riv-
er but little is known. The first OBJ
structiOn to navigation is at Grand
Canyon, 1866 miles from the mouth;
but it is understood that ANAL steam
ers can be got over these Tapips. Lieu
tendant Fred Schwartz, the Attic ex-
plOrer, explored the Yukon in 1884, just
before he resigned. There are not, as
far as can be learned, any charts of the
river or entrance, or rather delta,
through which there are several chan
nels but none is navigable for deep-sea
vessels. Some claim there is plenty of
water inside for vessels of considerable
draught. If the gold mines there last
for any length of time, there will be
plenty of information about the Yu-
kon in a year or two. In the mean
time, but few have any Thought of
going to Klondyke by water. 1t is a
long way from Janeau or Sitka around
to the Yukon. some 1900 or 1900 miles,
and tedious trip of about the same
length up the river, which is not open
till late in the spring and closes early
in the fall.-Baker Epigram.

CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
Dr. Evelyn Says He Can Work Wonders With
The Use Of Horse Blood.

Or. Evelyn Says He Can Work Wonders With
The Use Of Horse Blood
DR.. Fred w. d. Evylyn, head Of the
st. Luke's Hospital, San Francisco has
just made public the results of fifteen
years experiments, by which he claims
TO nave found certain cure, by in.
OculaUion of horse blood, for drunken.
ness, as well as for transmission of
hereditary faint of alcoholism. DR..
Evelyn began his investigations while
surgeon in the British army, in Zulu
land, and he selected a horse as a clean
animal with pleanty of blood.
His cure is on the same lines as the
vaccination remedy, and he asserts
that it not only kills the craving for
drink, but also relieves the children of
drunkard from hereditary faint. The
substance which he gains by inject.
ing alcohol into the blood of horse he
calls epuisine, and he thus introduces
it into the human system.
The doctor introduces alcohol into
the horse and then draws off the blood
INTO sterlllzed vessel, where it is
mixed with choral to influence the
clot. After settling twenty-four hours
it is subjected to freezing process and
then shaken for half an hour and de-
canted.
The result is slightly sticky, straw
colored fluid, which he calls equisine.
What vaccine has been to smallpox. he
says, equisine will be to HEREDITARY or
acquired alcoholism. Equisine is pre-
pared in small plaques made by'saturat-
ing paper with fluids and then baking
them in hot air chamber. The skin
OF the arm or leg of the patient is
scarified and a plaque applied, mois.
tened with boiling water. Twelve
hours later the plaque is again mois-
tened and applied and worn for five
days. In adult cases of Alcoholism a
plaque is applied once a week for eight
or nine weeks. The doctor declares
that he has been successful in all cases
where sedatives or narcotics were not
used.

BUCK FEVER,

John Williams and family returned
from the mountains Wednesday where
they had glorious time, though John
has resolved to take no more trips until
the horseless carriages are in vogue out
west. The first day the team knew no
more than to break the singletree and
about thirty miles from Pearl, they had
to break the doubletree. Twice in the
middle of a deep stream they refused
TO pull and help had to be gotten.
They eventually reached Clear Creek
and made up for lost time. The Iarg-
est deer ever seen in that country one
day stood about hundred yards from
John, and after looking contemptuous-
ly along the barrel of his Winchester
walked off. The buck fever contracted
that day has about worn off, though
John still shakes like an aspen leaf

KLONDIKE RICHES.
Hundreds of Gold Bearing Creeks Not Yet

Hundreds of Gold Bearing Creeks Not Yet

Inspector Strickland of Ottawa has
spent two years in the Yukon, Speak
ing of the Klondike says "There has
been no exaggeratiOn. 1 have seen
nothing in newspapers in regard to the
richness of the field that is nos true.
Great strikes have been made, but the
amount of gold is unlimited. There are

creeks now opened are taken UP but
those are only beginnings, 1 believe of
much greater finds. Some men know
who struck paying streaks, took out as
much as 100000. Others averaged be-
tween 100000 and 100000. while
others again only ranged from $4,000
to $4,000. l do not anticipate any

From the coast to the summit of Chill

and even after that difficult and dan
gerous work is still in store for the
traveller. The best work at the mines
is done in winter. Fires are built on
the frozen ground and it is thawed to

spring, starting about March 1; but
travellers must be careful to take in
sufficient provisions to last year."

Gold.

Last Thursday Joe Wilson. who lives
near Deer Flat, left Boise City with his
brother and cousin in boat and sailed
down the river. They were just six
teen hours making the trip which in.
cludes the time lost on account of acct
dents. AT one time the boat struck a
tree to which was nailed some barb
wire. The nose of the boat got under
the wire and she turned a complete
somersault, which made the BOYS hustle
for their lives. They eventually right
ed the boat, and proceeded on, arriving
at Caldwell safe and sound Joe and
his cousin rather liked the experience
and concluded to venture further, as on
Saturday evening they got in again and
started for Huntingdon, but whether
or not they have reached their destina-
ton we have not heard. Wilson said
the trip was partly for pleasure, but if
work can be found at Huntington they
will take it. If not they will double
back to Canyon county.

A MOUNTAIN: OF GOLD ORE.

Not High Grade, but an EnOrmOuss deposit in
POrPhyry.
Two prospectOrs have come into
Boise from the middle fork of the
Salmon river, a section that has never
been explored, bring a quantity of gold
for only few weeks work. The
amount of their clean up was close to
$1,000. An interesting feature of the
matter is that this gold is washed from
the decomposed surface of mountain
which they declare to be all ore. The
mountain is porphyry. The gold is
found all through it. They do not claim
the rock is high grade, but they assert
that it is all good pay. They have
been atwork there several seasons, max
ing small clean.ups each year. They
have taken up lode claims and are work
ing the surface as placers. The noun.
tain they call Thunder mountain. The
stream on which they are located is
called by them Mule creek. 1t empties
into Monumental creek and the latter in
to Big creek which flows into the middle
fork of the Salmon. If the mountain
is anything like as rich as the men
represent, the discovery is one of the
most important ever recorded in the
West
