Dawson Pettibone has finished his
new well in the real Of his kitchen. It
now has eleven feet of ice water in 1t,
and he has washed over $3.50, 900 In dust

There was a bull movement in dog
meat yesterday, the price closing at 88

Bill Jacobs made q pretty good strike
on the Little Juniper this week. He
struck plenty of gold at depth of
three feet but as the Jumps were too
big to carry, he closed up the hole and
has staked another claim further up
the creek.
The high wind yesterday raised con.
siderable dust. Jake Luckenbill, who
was out OF the Eldorado road with his
team says he was nearly blinded by it.
When he came home he coughed up

street sprinkling.
Aleck Cameron put a new fireplace
in his cabin this week, but he will have
to build another one. After he had
completed it he built a roaring fire,
but there was so much metal in the
stone that it melted and ran all over
the floor. He now has a gold plated
floor, but no fireplace.
Large numbers of dead catfish are
seen floating in tho river every day.
When examined it is found that every
one of them has from six to eight
ounces of gold dust in it's stomach.
This carelessuess in allowing loose

the fishing unless stopped.
While Ike Sigman, the esteemed pro
prietor OF the Big Strike saloon was
fishing in the river yesterday, his boat
struck a snag; 1t proved to be a 600

Revenue from the New Tariff law.

The two essential purposes of the new
law are expressed by the trainers In It's
title-"A Bill to Provide Revenue for
the Support OF the Government and to
Encourage the Industi les Of the United
States" The first object is admitted
by all parties to be a proper one. The
revenue has been insufficient to meet
current expenditures during the last
fodr fiscal years. One Of these years
was under the operation of the McKin.
ley law; the other three have been un
der the operation of the Wilson. German
law. These heavy deficits, amounting
for four years to about $3.50, 900, 900,
have been attributed by the critics Of
the present law TO the reduction which
II made in the rates OF duty, and it is
one OF the avowed objects Of the new
