In addition to these enforced removals

number of changes in pastorates which
are now in their second, third and fourth

When the broker goes over claim
he ascertains the direction of the "pay
streak" which is along the ancient bed
of the creek, where likely instead of
water 1t was a stream of ice moving
and grinding slowly down and toward
the location of which the present course
of the flowing water is of no help what
ever.
s5 He studies the claim above and the
claim below, then ne measures the width
and depth of the streak, which will be
pretty constant on the average for the
length of the claim, running from four
to seven feet and perhaps twenty feet
wide. depending on the formation of
the bed rock. Having thus ascertained
approximately the cubic contents Of the
pay streak he pans a few shovelsful
representing five or six cubic feet of
dirt and a simple arithmetical process
will give him the figures on which to
base his offer.
For instance II FIVE cubic feet pan
out $40 or S12 per cubic foot and If the
pay streak runs 5x20x10C feet-10, 900
cubic feet, the full value of the claim
should be 100000 On this supposition
he might offer $4,000 for the claim as
it stands. There would be still $50, 900
to be got out after the claim was paid

essary expenditure of time and labor

Mr.. Henry Norman appreciates the
motives which have impelled the Amer

war. Writing OF it in Cosnopolis, he
said
l know the American people well, and
do not hesitase 10 say that the prin-
cipal motive which effects them at such
moment as this is religious and hu-
-manitarian one. The nation has little
which it can possibly gain by its pres
ent action, in comparison with what it
will certainly lose. American CONNER
-cial interests in Cnba could have been
bought out several times over ty the
sums the war will cost. Possibly mar y
American lives will be sacrificed before
the result is achieved. American fin
ance will be seriously, almost danger

can currency may even be once more
upon a paper basis; the gold accumu-
lated in the treasury by Pres Cleve-

profoundly serious character will await
solution. Against this the United
