The readers of the Western
Mining World who have not al
ready done so should seek an
opportunity to visit the Yellow
stone National Park. 1t extends
65 miles north and south and So
miles east and west, comprising
1875 square miles, and is 5000
feet or more above the sea level.
Yellowstone lake, 90 miles by Is
miles, has an altitude of 7,78S
feet. The mountain ranges which
hem in the valleys on every side
to the height of 10, 900 to $4,000
feet and are always covered with
snow. This great park contains
the most striking of all noun
tains, gorges, falls, rivers and
lakes in the whole Yellowstone
region. The springs on Gardin-
er's river cover an area of about
one square mile, and three or
four square miles thereabout are
occupied by the remains of
springs which have ceased to
flow. The natural basins into
which these springs flow are
from four to six feet in depth.
The principal one are located
upon terraces midway up the
sides of the mountain. The
banks of the Yellowstone river
abound with ravines and canyons,
which are carved out of the heart
of the mountains through the
hardest rocks. Tie most re
markable of these is the canon
of Tower creek and Column
Mountain. The latter, which
extends along the eastern bank
of the river for upward of two
miles, is said to resemble the
Giants Causeway. TIE canon
of Tower creek is about ten
miles in length, and is so deep
and gloomy that it is called the
Devils Den" Where Tower
creek ends the Grand Canon be-
gins. 1t is 90 miles in length,
impossible throughout, and in
accessible at the waters edge
except at a few points. Its rug
ged edges are from 200 to 500
yards apart, and its depth is SO
profound that no sound ever
reaches the ear from the bot
tom. The Grand Canon contains
a great multitude of hot springs
of sulphur, sulphate of copper,
alum, etc. In the number and
magnitude of its hot springs and
geysers the Yellowstone Park
surpasses all the rest of the
world. There are probably so
geysers that throw a column of
water to the height of from so to
200 feet, and it is stated that
there are not fewer than 5000
springs; there are two kinds.
those depositing lime and those
depositing silica. The tempera-
ture of the calcareous springs is
from 100 to 40 degrees, while
that of the others rises to 200 or
more. The principal collections
are the upper and lower geyser
basins of the Madison river and
the calcareous springs on Gard
iner's river. The great falls are
marvels to which adventurous
travellers have gone only to re-
turn and report that they are
parts OF the wonders of this new
American wonderland Western

railway and shipped. Work at
the mines goes on year after
year, and the smelter makes a
short run each season.
BLACKBIRD,
is probably destined to become
one of the leading copper camps
of the State. The veins on the
surface carried free-milling gold
ore, giving us hints of the great
change that took place twenty or
thirty feet under the surface.
When old Sam James discovered
this district he thought he had
found the greatest gold mine in
the world, but a little develop
ment work, soon convinced old
Sam that his hidden wealth con-
sisted of copper. j. 0. Swift.
who was very prominent in
bringing the Wood river country
to the front, has shown his faith
in the camp by bonding many of
the best claims in the district,
which he is now developing. On
the main vein he has attained a
depth of 400 feet, where the
showing is highly satisfactory.
DR.. Wright owns one of the ad-
joining claims, which is consid-
cred one of the best in the camp.
The advent of a railroad will
work wonders for this district.
WILSON CREEK,
despite it's isolated position has
made some progress during the
past year. The veins are most
ly small, but all carry high grade
gold ore, which will mill from
$40 to $50 per ton.
SILVER CREEK,
or Singiser as it is now called, is
another of Lemhi's old camps
brought to life during the past
few years. The group purchas-
ed by Capt. Singiser less than a
year ago, were located some
twenty odd years ago, but the
refractory nature of the ore de-
fed all treatment known at the
time. The claims were patented
and nothing further was done on
them until last spring. Capt.
Singiser has just completed his
new fifGy-ton mill, which was
started up on Thanksgiving day.
In connection with the mill there
is a complete Clerici-P elletan
electro-cyanide plant, which is
particularly adapted for treating
this class of ore. The mill is re-
ported as saving 80 per cent of
the value of the ere. The vein
found in this group is of i'm
mense size, which can be traced
for a distance of 1900 feet. In
places the cropping projected
above the ground to a height of
thirty feet, and the whole noun
tain side is covered with great
masses of float. One cross cut
tunnel shows a width of twenty
seven feet of good ore. The ore
carries both gold and silver in
equal quantities, which is a good
indication, Judging from the fact
that some of the best mines in
the world, NOTABLY those at Vir-
ginia City, New carried the
same proportions Of the two
metals.

CUSTER.

The Yankee Fork country is
again attracting attention and
gives promise of more active OPP
erations in the near future. The
old Custer mill, now owned by
the Lucky Boy company, was re-
modelled last summer and much
new machinery put in, and has
since been reducing Lucky Boy
ore. Several other mines are
also working in that district.
Clayton turned out more than its
usual quantity of bullion. About
Houston there was a little activ-
ity around the great copper lodes
there and a promise of large op-
erations in the near future. Fur
Their mining interests in the State
are shown. 1t is safe to predict
much activity in mining for 1898.
BAYHoRSE.
AT Bayhorse, there the Rams
horn company operated a smell
ter for years and the town was a
very lively place, but little has
been done the past year. The
smelter and mill have both been
idle for years, and only prospect
ing work has been done in the
mines belonging to the company.
The Ramshorn mine worked ten
men running a new tunnel and
timbering the tunnels above so
as to be ready for the good times
coming, which has been promis-
ed so long. This kind of prep
aration has been going on sever
al years and the mine has lots of
ore uncovered ready for stopping,
but the owner, o. j. Salisbury,
does not care to sacrifice it to
heavy freight, 100 miles to the
railway, and then sell at the de-
based price of silver. What the
future will be is a matter of con-
lecture only at this time. Citizens
at Bayhorse have faith in their
properties, and hoping for better
times are doing considerable
work on their lodes. Hurst and

CLAYTON

Clayton is q little town located
in q narrow gulch on Salmon riv-
or in Custer county, and practic-
ally is about 175 from the rail
way at Blackfoot, but is only
about half that distance to the
road at Ketchum. But the wear
Blackfoot was the shipping
point. The mines can be opera
ted, the ore smelted and hauled
all this distance by teams is
somewhat remarkable in these
times of low silver, and indicates
that the mines are excellent in
size and richness, and are Judi
ciously managed. Besides this
long haulage the ores have to be
taken from the mines to the
smelter by pack trains. During
the past year the Clayton Smelt-
ing company employed thirty
five men all the year, while the
number was increased for four
months to 100 men. Their Sky
lark, Redbird, Silver Star and
Poverty Flat mines were operat-
ed, and all these now have large
ore reserves, and are looking
better than ever before in the
history of the camp. The smell

POPE AND MCKINLEY.
Two Cablegrams; One Is Censorized
But the Last Is Authentic.

New York, April IA dispatch to The
World from Madrid says:
The text of the pope's message cabled
to President Mckinley is given in a
dispatch from Rome as follows:
AS the head of the religion 'of fra
tern;ty, I viii solicit Spain to grant
an arplstice IN the name of human
ity. ! pray you. pending the result of
this step. to deign to suspend all ex-
IRENE measures"
President MeKinley's reply is given
as follows:
at least out of respect for your Holt
ness, We viii wait. wishing success to
your endeavor"
(The above is a censored dispatch.
The pope's text may be given correctly,
but the Spanish censor at Madrid
probably edited President McKin-
ley's.)
The Rome correspondent of the
World obtained at the vatican the text
of the presidents reply in the follow
ing words:
IAN armistice is a question which
concerns Spain and Cuba alone. But
between Spain and the United States
another question is pending, and / must
receive a distinctly submissive and con-
ciliatory answer from SPAIN
Subsequent official and private tele-
grams from Rome and Washington
leave little hope for the success of the
papal negotiations. They still continue
in the United States, it is said here, but
the great difficulty lies in the fact that
the president has intimated to the Irish
prelates and the apostolic delegate that
he cannot permit interference from the
vatican unless it promptly persuades
Spain to accede to terms which no
Spanish government could hope to in
duce the nation and the army to ac-
cept, if the independence of Cuba and
the withdrawal of SPANS troops be
insisted upon.
The most unfortunate feature of the
whole affair is the danger to Spanish
affairs at home of prolonging the i'm
preston that the wishes of the pope
the court, the government and the
public clash.

ANOTHER THING TO SETTLE.
After the Cuban Question, Comes the
Ugly Maine Matter.

Washington, April despite the
fact that thousands of people who re-
NAMED in the lines which clamored for
admission to the galleries yesterday in
the hope of hearing the presidents
message. at last turned away weary
and exhausted when the announcement
came that no message would be sent
to congress until Monday. many We're
back in their places hours before the
house and senate convened today. But
the great strain under which the pub
lie and the members have been labor
ing forEdays has taken some of the
edge off their eagerness.
1t is realized that for a few days
more they must await the course of
events. Many public men regard the
situation as more critical than it ever
has been. The talk of proclaiming an
armistice by the queen, they assert, is
futile unless the insurgents accept. The
surrender of Spanish sovereignty over
the island must come, they believe, or
our programme will be carried out.
But even if the Cuban question is
settled to the satisfaction of this gov
ernment." said Senator Carter of Mon
tana, today, there will still remain the
Maine affair That is an extremely
ugly question for Spain to meet. The
people are very much wrouSh up over
the assassination OF our sailors in a
friendly port, and they will demand a
satisfactory settlement on that score"

a DIFFICULT TASK.
Hanna and His Conservatives" Try
To Win Over Pro Cubans.

Washington, April IA number of
Republican senators, including Messrs.
Allison, Aldrich, Hanna and Spooner
most OF whom are classed as conser-
vatives, held a prolonged conference in
the room of the senate committee on
rules today, after the adjournment OF
the senate.
The purpose Of the meeting was. if
possible, to devise a plan whereby the
acton OF the senate on the Cuban sit
uation would be harmonious. The SEN
ators desire that whatever position is
taken by the senate after the recent of
the presidents message on Monday.
snail be as nearly unanimous as it is
possibel TO have it, and they devoted
themselves TO formulating a resolution
on which a general agreement can be
secured.
They find this to be difficult task.
in view of the fact that the senate di-
vides up on the question of independ-
enee. All appear willing to concede
the necessity for Intervention. bur there
is still persistent opposition to the
recognition OF the present government.
Some, at least, of those who take this
position have manifested today a will
ingness to yield. one point OF expressing
the opinion that the people of Cuba
should be free, but they have taken a
decided stand against the recognition
of the present Cuban government.
which Is, they contend, a decidedly
mythical and unsubstantial institution
so far as the people OF the United States
are informed. Their opposition has set
tied upon the second of the Foraker
resolutions, which reads as follows:
Resolved. That the government of
the United States recognizes the repub-
lie of Cuba as the true and lawful gov
eminent of that island"
Most of the conservatives express
themselves as willing to accept as a
the first of the Foraker
resolutions, which reads:
That the people of the island of
Cuba are and of a right ought to be
free and independent"
They claim, in addition to other ar
guments, that to recognize the exist
ing government would be to establish
2 bad precedent. and that it is far
