More Gold Discoveries.

gold.bearing quartz near Dead.

recently blown down he saw
fragments of quartz, and upon
prospecting it found it to give
good gold prospects in the pan.
Upon his arrival in Grange.
vile Wednesday further tests
were made, showing that the
ore was rich in flake gold.
The news got out and a small
stampede was started and sew.
eral claims were staked. The
lodges are said to be very
large and the ore partakes
more of the character of a spar
than quartz. Dead-horse is
midway between Grangeville
and Florence, and it is to be
hoped that the expectations of
the new district will not be
disappointed.

Great Prune Yield.

State Horticultural Commissioner
Baker has just completed q tour of in
spectiOn of southwestern counties, and
states that the fruit yield of the sect
ion visited will surpass all previous
records. The prune crop of this state
will this season make perceptible
showing in the markets not only Of
this country but it is very probable
that considerable shipments will be
made abroad, and it is stated that the
Washington evaporated prune takes
precedence over California shipments
in foreign markets. Clarke county
takes the lead of most sections of the
state in her prune product and it is
estimated by the com missioner that
200 car loads of evaporated fruit will
be shipped from there this season, as
compared with 100 cars last year.
Thurston and Lewis counties are max
ing considerable advance in their COM
mercial prune crops and evaporating
plants of from 1000 to 1000 lounds
capacity are going up. The price Of
dried prunes has opened at four and
One-half cents at Vancouver and later
on they will likely bring a still larger

No Issue for the 'sFerninst'' Here.

Sheep interests of Washington have
received great stimulus under the
working of the protective tariff enacted
by a Republican Congress. James
Wright Of North Yakima, one OF the
most extensive sheep raisers of the
state, has about $4,000 sheep in his
fiocks and has a wool clip of 100000
pounds ready to market. He is hold
ing for ~ cents pound and expects
to get it. The wool is a medium fine
merino and he has received an offer
of IL cents pound for it.
Asked as to the effect of the tariff
on the sheep industry Mr.. Wright said
that the increase had been from 80 to
~ percent over the values of a year
ago. He has also made sale of TO-
OOO lambs to Mr.. Callahan, we'll
known buyer of st. Paul. Lambs at
Yakima are worth $3.50 a head.
Sheep range in price from So to $3.50.
This is one of the reasons WHY the
farmers of Eastern Washington are
contented now, and are repudiatinp

About That Indemnity.

Many people are asking: "ln this
settlement with Spain where does the
United States come in? What indem-
nifty does our country receive for the
blood and treasure poured out in this
war;" We must not talk it out loud,
where it will be heard, but we have
had full indemnity already. How?
In one hundred days our country has
taken its place in the fore front OF
Powers, so that in the calculations OF
nations the United States must hence
forth be held as controlling factor.
Again, without many ships, we have
taken a foremost place among The ma
tons of the earth as naval Power.
The worlds great nations read that
Admiral Dewey had sunk heavier
fleet than his own and silenced the
shore batteries without the loss of
man, and said it was a marvellous &C.
cident, that the fleet opposed to him
was inferior and that the shore de-
lenses were not armed with modern
guns.
But when the second fleet, compos-
ed OF ships and armed with guns which
those nations declared were a full
match, in the battles line, with our
best ships, when this squadron was all
destroyed. with the loss on our side of
one man killed and two wounded,
then the nations had to say that it was
no accident, that it was the ships, the
guns and the men behind the guns,
and the question that followed was ::
"Who can estimate the sea power and
the land power of people like that?'
The triumphs on land have been
just the same, though with more loss
of life, and the world is noting that
thus far only 10000 men have been
engaged, while behind them stand TO-
100000 capable of bearing arms.-Salt

General Greeley's 27S Days of Death

has been told by General Greeley HIM
self, for the first time, for the October
Ladies Home Journal For years
General Greeley has kept an unbroken
silence about his fearful experience
and that of his companions, as thew
dropped dead one by one at his side,
and it was only after the greatest per-
suasion that the famous explorer was
induced to write the story.
