Horse Thieves Captured.

Our town experienced ripple VI ex-
cltemeni early last Sunday morning by
the capture Of two horse thieves in
town, who had been trailed by parties
from Monument.
On Christmas night four young men,
named Wyland, Blakeney, Green and
Jackson, Of Clackinlas county, who had
been at work near Monument for some
time, attended a dance there and all got
gloriously drunk. They concluded to
return to the valley, but before starting,
the quartet, three OF whom had horses,
stole horse from Geo. Irwin "a brother
in-law to Wyland) and saddle from
VIM. Sweek and all lit out. At Hay
stack two Of them, Green and Jackson,
separated from the others and went by
way Of Fossil, while Walt Wyland and
Blakeney came by way Of Lone Rock
and Condor, stopping Saturday night at
Bob Looney's ranch, three miles south
Of Condor.
Mr.. Irwin, Joe Putnam and Bob Cars
ner started at once in pursuit Of the
thieves, arriving here on Sunday morn
ing about daylight. Here they learned
that the boys were at Looney's place
and that they would come through town
that morning, so with the assistance Of
Sheriff Wilcox and his deputy, Tom
johnson, they "laid for them" In a
few minutes the boys came riding into
town and were dragged" almost before
they knew what was up. They were at
once searched and locked up in the Jail,
while Mr.. Irwin went down TO Looney's
place and got the stolen horse, which
Wyland had traded to Mr.. Andrews,
who was also at Looney's ranch.
Next morning all Of them started for
Monument, where the boys were to
have preliminary examination before
justice Bowman, and no doubt by this
time they are in the Canyon City Jail,
candidates for the penitentiary.
Wyland is one OF the toughest roosters
on the coast, having already served one
term in the penitentiary, and recently
escaped from the Oregon City Jail, where
he was awaiting the action Of the grand
jury on charge Of burglary. We un-
derstand that an effort is being made to
capture tie other pair OF thieves that
went by way Of Fossil, with what sue
ces we have not learned.

the case when the Lone Rock people
start to have good time. Quite a
number Of the Eightmile people joined

These are few Of our neighbors and
neighbor's children that are on the sick
list. DR.. Howard was over here the
first Of the week and gave medical aid
to Mrs. Hogan's little boy, who has the
whooping cough and severe case Of
sore throat. The doctor left the impres-
sion that it might develop into diph-
liberia, and in consequence Of the alarm
several children have quit school, and
some Of the people are moving out Of
town for the present, until the result Of
the ailment is folly known. The doctor
also visited Mrs. RIM Johnson, who is
seriously i'll with rheumatism. Henry
Hickman is also ailing with something
like the erysipelas.

the coast will get their share, but we supply
them to a large extent, and their gain is also
ours. Next spring there Will be another rush,
and large quantities of provisions will be sold
here.
Wheaton, Breon & Co. have had an in
crease IN business. 1t began several
months ago. when the large trading COM
panies began to lay in their stocks for
this fall. They supply NUN Der OF retail
houses, and their orders have been in
creased, as have their orders from Seattle.
]. S. Russell, manager for Kingan Il
Co., said:
There has been a marked increase in busl-
ness in all lines not only here but all along
the coast. Heretofore Seattle has been sup
plying all of that country, but this City is the
natural center of all mining supplies and will
now get the bulk of the Alaska trade. The
entire country is feeling the boom In business
IRON these gold discoveries. The Chicago pork
market has taken quite jump. have re-
ceived inquiries from Memphis, Nashville and
New York in regard to the Klondyke. They
come from leg CLIMATE business concerns which
are contemplating investing capital. OF
course there will be some specializing, but the
majority are going 10 go into it in q business
way Asyndicate has been formed in Chicago
to buy up mining properties not only in
Alaska but also here in California. So q boom
in mining in erests here at home will be the
result OF the Klondyke discoveries Money
has been unlocked and put in circulation and
confidence in business has been greatly re-
stored. Goods have been moved that there
was no demand for before. We have disposed
OF about 100, 900 pounds OF meat.
The Deming- Palmer Milling Company
have had largely increased orders. There
is a demand for goods that will keep for
quite while. The trading companies
which have been buying by ffty-:on lots
are now buying by 1500-ton lots. They
put in their orders some months ago,
which shows they had some idea as to
what had been done in the way of gold
discoveries before the news became gen.
eral. San Francisco will be the produce
station for the northern country and bust
ness will be ATTY increased.
The American Biscuit Company has
noticed an advance in business. All the
orders from the retail firms are larger. 1t
is difficult to tell just how much of this is
due to the Klondyke strikes, but there
have been mum Der OF orders direct from
people going to Alaska. and they will run
up into the thousands of dollars.
Mr.. FEEDER of Rosenthal, FEEDER & Co.
said: "Tbe gold strikes have greatly in
creased business in all lines and from now
on We may expect steady growth"

" " NOTES OF THE RUSH.
A Fortune Won at Randsburg
Seeks Investment in the
Yukon.

H. c. Anderson, till recently one OF the
Randsburg, has been in this City and at
Santa Cruz for the past day or two, and
last night left for Seattle on his way to
Klondyke. Mr.. Anderson believes the
mines on the tributaries of the Yukon are
very rich. and that this is an opportunity
to secure wealth there. He will probably
be gone for at least year and possibly
much longer. Mr.. Anderson has lately
sold his interest in the Randsburg mine
for $50 0CO Some of this money he ex-
pee Is to invest in the Klondyke mines.
G.. H. Rossback will leave for the Yukon
on the Walla Walla this morning with a
big outfit. He has along i've cases OF
evaporated onions for which he paid 40
CENTS pound, Yesterday he refused 81 Il
pound for them, declaring that he would
sell them at SIS an ounce this winter.
Edward Holland, proprietor Of the
Commercial Hotel, few days ago sent
the following telegram:
AUGUST 2, 1897.
Dominion Secretary, OttdDc Canada: Advise
me ii your Government is collecting duties at
Klondyke on ordinary outfit for miner for one
year. EDWARD HOLLAND.
As vet no answer has been received, and
there is doubt as to whether there will
be any.
J. II. Mahoney, who two years ago left
the Yukon, is making arrangements to
again go TO the north. and will probably
leave on the steamer Noyo to-day.
II snail 60 to Dyea. and thence over
the ChiIcat Pass" said Mr.. Mahoney.
THE worst thing about it is getting an
outfit together. This, however. think
can do"

the stories of discoveries of gold placers
on the klondyke were absolute fabrica-
lions got up in the interest of ship-owners
and merchants of San Francisco anu
other coast cities. He was evidently Of
the calamity school, and possessed the
talent peculiar 10 his class-volupility.
He spoke OF one report that was recently
published In the coast papers in which
1t was stated that one pan of gravel yield
ed $780, and said that gravel OF such rich-
ness had never been found in any par. OF
the world. This reminded me of my own
early experience in the placers OF Cali
fornla, Incidents OF which l attempt TO
relate. but the individual aforesaid was
native OF Nebraska.
So with your permission, Mr.. Editor,
will tell few stories of our own placers
as we found them in the days when our
steps were lighter and our hair darker and
more abundant. Near the town of Yam
kee Jim's, Placer County, | once saw 93
ounces and fraction of gold washed from
one pan OF gravel. l helped clean out the
crevice in the bedrock from which 1t was
taken. saw it washed out and weighed the
gold dust myself. The gold dtst of that
section was, as | remember, worth about
SIS per ounce, making total OF nesrly
twice the value of Klondyke's best up TO
date.
From a crevice in Indian Canyon, in
the same county, once washed pan1ut
OF gravel that yielded over 500. On the
middle fork OF the American River l saw
$1,000 washed from one pan, and on the
same day nugget of solid gold weighing
twelve pounds was found in the ad join
ing claim. Gravel and pockets" In
quartz lodges exceeding in richness that
above stated have been found in thousands
of different localities in the mountains of
California. Therefore there Is nothing
thus far in the reports from the north
that taxes the credulity of an old Caiifor-
MIA miner. A. w. POOLE,
Grub Gulch, MADEIRA County.
