OF the elements, remained where the glac-
iers deposited it. The great thing now IS
TO find the gold veins in the mountains.
One mans chance is as good as anoth-
ers. and 1t may be expected that thou
sands will explore the mountains in every
direction. This work is called prospect
ing" 1t involves hard manual labor un-
der trying circumstances. Prospectors
start out into a mountain fastness, they
know not where, carrying their food on
their backs. A vein is usually detected by
an 'outcroppng." /. e., where the ore has
been exposed by the soil washing away.
Then the main body of the ore must be
found by digging for 1t. This means the
sinking of a shaft, which is the same as
building a well or the running of a tunnel.
If rich ore is struck, then comes the equip
ment Of a mine with machinery and the
establishing of works for extracting the
gold from the rock In mountainous dis
tricts. far from railroads. the cost or
freighting heavy machinery Is enormous.
Very often roads costing $1,000 a mile or
more must be built before machinery can
be taken IN. Attitudes are higher and the
mountains are ruggeder in Alaska than In
any other part of the United States. Nat
ural supplies of fuel and water are prime
necessities. and fortunately Alaska Is well
provided with both.

II is not the mere finding Of a lot OF gold

AFFAIRS IN CUBA

Cincinnati. January H.-A CONNER
cial Tribune special from Havana says:
Emanuel Silvero, wounded Cuban.
arrived here tonight from Key West.
having escaped from Cuba on a fish
ing vessel. He comes from the field
near Artemisa. He states that General
Rivera is sadly in need OF ammunition
and arms. His men are short of cart
ridges. He has over 5000 men that
could be used had they arms. A ma
chete is the only weapon that hundreds
are armed with. In ambuscade the
nachete is the Cuban weapon and is
a terrible one.
He confirms the story Of January
when a Spanish band came upon a Gu
ban hospital near San Cristobal, con-
tanning 500 wounded insurgents, ana
put to death all OF them. even the at
tending physicians.
Col. San Martis' troops are raiding an
that section. though very seldom go
ing into the hills near Rivera's camp.
One of his bands was ambushed two
weeks ago and out Of forty-five men In
1t only three escaped. They are blood
thirsty and are credited with more
murders of women and paclficos than
any other band.

Olympia, January 21.-Three ballots
We're taken for United States senator

The legislative hall was again packed
by curious crowd and there was
belief thlt some decided change would
occur in the Populist ranks. but the
different Populist candidates finished
in relatively the same position as the
day before. Considerable flirting with
votes was INDUCED in but this was
done without and serious intention.
Judge Turner increased his strength to
"a votes, and Senator Squire increased
TO four votes on the last ballot as
against two yesterday. This is not
considered important as one Of the
votes was cast by Williams, who was
sick yesterday. After the second bal
lot a nation was made to adjourn. and
although the roll call was demanded.
the motion was defeated by a large
majority. After the third ballot SIM

feeling that the matter will be settled
