~OLINGH0USE CANYON.

In company with l.. Il. Dodge and ex-
Mayor John l.. Davie OF Oakland a Ga
zette reporter paid II visit to Olingilouse
CANYON Sunday. We don't know much
about mines or mining either, but the
camp impressed US more favorably than
ANYTHING we have seen in the county III
many IA day.
The boys from the Slip mine had a
little sack containing about fifty pounds
OF rock, and when they told us it was
worth 500 we got dizzy right away.
When we visited the claim shortly after
that and found eight or ten sacks of ore
in the mouth OF the incline which was
worth so "a sack, we caIne near falling
over the dump.
We said not IA word TO any one about
our impressions of the camp until COM
ing home on the train, when we asked
Mr.. Davie what he thought of what he
had seen. His reply was that he was
very iavorably impressed, and ii the
camp did not prove to be good IL ali
Signs fail.
Mr.. Davie is quite interested in the
outlook at Olingilouse and We would not
be surprised to hear any day that he is
boring into the green hill" with a
pretty big augur. What Nevada needs
is a few men of Mr.. Davies energy to
make her commence go up the ladder
nf progress, and we believe his visit to
Reno will prove profitable to him as well
as to Reno and Ollnghouse.
There are about twenty-five miners in
the camp and it is producing consider
able gold bullion. Proctor x Norris are
working on the Ora and it is paying.
The slip Co. are running an incline in
the hills and the boys are taking out
considerable pay dirt. They have a
ledge that near the surface was about W
wide as your finger, but very rich. The
ledge has widened ont to three feet and
the ore across the face OF the ledge will

opens Olinghouse will have a boom.

From Bonanza Creek.

On the steamer Al Xxi which left Seat
tie on Juiy 29th. last ior Alaska were d
party OF eight among them G. A. Kin
ney and Jack Kinney, brothers OF &. W.
Kinney Of the Waisworth pharmacy.
Mr.. Kinney has just received Il letter
from the boys and by courtesy OF the re-
cipient we nave taken such extracts AZ
would be OF public interest. The letter
is dated Dawson City, North West Ter
ritory, Jan. 18th, and their address is
the same. On six sheets Of letter paper
the postage was 80 cents. They arrived
at Dawson on Nov. 4th, and met with
no accidents save the loss OF two mules
and their packs on Chilkoot pass. They
made no attempt to ecove the packs.
They met with no particular hardsillps
and several Of the party who came from
Maine and Nova Scotia said that the
climate was 10 them seemingly no colder
than their own countries. They found
Da wson overrun with idle men but eX-
perienced miners with grub OF their own
had no trouble in finding work. They
found out that George Akens, an old
friend who had been in that country
several years was located on Bonanza
Creek and thither they went. Akens
had taken out "a snug fortune. At Boz
nanza Creek they e to work at 50
a day and ''found" themselves. They
now have leased a part OF the Akens
claim aud by samples judge they are
taking out from $25 to $50 per day per
man. They have not washed the gravel
yet. In the ia e of this they think the
country is overrated and they advise G.
w. Kinney and all OF his friends to stay
away from there until the country is
opened up. Prospecting, from the very
nature OF the country, is expensive and
a man there without any money al do
nothing. There are many drawbacks to
mining and it takes the work of one OF
their men to dig pitch knots for light in
the ~diggings and fuel to thaw out the
gravel. The smoke from the fires causes
the men to get sick and affects their
Threats principally. They could use
candles and Jack says they would give
500 for a small part Of a box OF them.
The boys are all enjoying good health,
There is no real suffering there but grub
is scarce. They heard OF several new
discoveries but the weather was too Sc
we're for them to look into the matter.
Men going there without money make a
fatal mistake.

ARNORED CRUISER INFANTA MARIA TERESA

seem to have been born in the minds
of several speechmaking officers, and
in fact, the whole existence of the feel
ing is in these same prolific brains.
The people Of this city have beer
displeased by certain acts and talks o.
some members of the regiment, but nc
hatred or abuse has been heaped upon
the entire organization. The men who
offended may possibly be overlooked
by those whom they displeased, but
here the matter ends.
Another officer in speaking to the
writer on the subject last night said
"Why was it that Columbia turned
out to see us off and paid no more at
tention to US than if we were gang
of Negroes when We returned ?" The
answer to this charge is very simple
In the first place there was no exact
hour set for the arrival of the regiment
from Jacksonville. A day was ap'
pointed, but no hour, and people did
not want to 60 to a depot and wait for
hours and hours.
Again, the conditions surrounding
the departure and return of the regi'
ment were entirely different. In June
a poorly clad, united and patriotic
body of men left this city for the front
to do battle for their country's flag.
In October they returned disunited
command, with officers and men at
variance among themselves. The seed
of disruption had been sowed and a
harvest of dissatisfaction and discon'
tent was being gathered. The papers
throughout the state had rung with
the chickering's of the regiment until it
was we'll nigh scandalous. As a re-
suit, not only Columbians, but the en-
tire state had lost its enthusiasm.
Is Columbia responsible for the con.
dition of the regiment, and is it small
wonder that flags were not flown and
banquet tables laid for the reception OF
a command from which 80 much was
expected and so little realized II
anyone is 10 blame it is the party or
parties who caused dissensiOn, the man
or men who turned the enlisted SOL
diers against the officers and in some
cases divided the officers.

driven rivets, aud within short time
the water was pouring in more rapid
" than the pumps could expel it.
Then the fires were flooded, and in a
81. rrt while afterward the vessel went
to the bottom.
The captains and crews of the Maria
Teresa, the Vulcan, the Leonidas and
the Merritt, all realized from the first
the great danger the Maria Teresa was
in, and they were determined not to
desert the vessel so long as there was
a possible hope. But at length the
crew of the doomed cruiser was COM
PEELED to seek safety on the other
vessels, and managed to transfer them
selves without the loss of single life.
The Merritt reached Charleston
early Saturday morning, and the other
vessels proceeded on to Wilmington,
N. C. At the place where the Maria
Teresa went down the sea is said to be
about three miles deep.
As to just how the loss falls is not
yet definitely known. For sentimental
reasons the Spanish cruiser, of course,
had great value to the United States.
The contract with the Merritt Chap
man Wrecking company called for the
delivery of the vessel at Norfolk.
The government was to pay the COM
pany $500 day, and also a big bonus
for the completion of the work. 1t
may he that the government will only
have to lose the per diem, and the bal.
ance of the loss will fall upon the
wrecking company but this is a mat
ter for future adjustment.

HARD LINES FOR CUBANS.
Soldiers Starving as the Result of Peculiar
Conditions.

Conditions.
The following letter from Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Carboune, of the Cuban
army, now at Havana, was sent to
Secretary Alger last Friday by Mr..
Quessada, secretary of the Cuban le-
CATION at Washington. The letter
bears the date Of Havana, October 20 {:
81 am just back from the camp of
General Menocal, chief of our army in
the province, and let me tell you in
some faint way the condition of our
poor aud suffering army and the con-
sequences that may come to the coun-
try if We do not find in short time a
remedy which will save Us. The Cuban
army is dying with hunger. Such
terrible words in no way exaggerate
the actual conditions. General Memo
cal took me to see his weak, tottering
and squalid soldiers-made 80 on ac-
co.. nj of the want Of food and the &C.
tual necessities of life-and to think
that these men were in such state
by reason of obeying their chiefs, who
desire first of all to respect the orders
of the American government. The
Cuban leaders in camp told me to tell
you that they would retain resigna
tion and patience, and above all, faith
in the American government and the
worthy president, Mr.. Mckinley; but
at the same time let it be- understood
that we are hungry, that we have in
the towns and fields of Cuba all that
is needed in the way of food, but that
we are forbidden to touch it by reason
of the peace order. They do not get
from Habana one. fourth of what they
need and our soldiers are dying at the
gates of the city for lack of food.
What shall we do? The time will
come when we cannot bear it any
longer, and then what will be the
result? l returned disconsolate to
Habana, and tried to get succor, but
the people are already so poor that l
obtained nothing. We went to the
American commission, which received
us very we'll and offered US much, but
up to the present time they have
given us nothing. If by misfortune
we are driven by necessity of our army
to get by force what we need so as not
to die of hunger, will the people of the
nations of the world, which do not
know what is happening, judge US un-
worthy of the sympathy of the Ameri-
can people? We are very happy to
hear your assurances as to our republic.

pharmacopeia. A few of these in
sects, rubbed down in a mortar with a
little spirit, will make "mother tinc-
ture" from which countless dilutions
can he prepared. If this will not
suffice, the black Curacao spider, from
West Indian orange groves, or the
gray spider of Kentucky, may be used,
according to the taste. The homeo-
paths are fond of beetles, and they
treat ladybirds in the same way as the
spiders. They also get an essence
from the Colorado beetle-the insect
which ruined the potato crop a few
years back. 1t is one thing to rob the
bees wholesale and secure their wax
and honey, but it is rather hard lines
on poor "apis melli6ca" to turn her
into medicine az we'll. But she has to
90 in with the rest, and yield her life
in the cause of science. Of course,
anyone who has felt a bees sting
knows what a powerful drug its poison
must be. It's rather dangerous work
robbing a hive of bees of their stings
and poison. The method recommen-
ded in books is simple, but exciting.
The bees are to be caught in bottle
as they leave their home in the morn
ing. They are then deprived of their
poison bags and stings by means of
scissors, and the severed portions are
soaked in spirit to make tincture.
Besides insects, other queer things
are used in medicine at the present
time. To give only two examples,
remedies are prepared from the starish
and the crawfish. Snake venom-no-
tably that of the cobra, the rattlesnake
and the adder-is sometimes used.
Nowadays great many drugs of
animal origin are being experimental
with, and some people prophesy that
they will eventually oust all the rest.
Anyway, people are getting medicine
as we'll as food from domestic animals
like sheep, pigs and fowls. 1t may
frighten nervous people to hear that
explosives are used in medicine. For
tunately, however, the nitro-glycerine
which is given in heart disease is so
we'll diluted and in such small doses
that no harm can come of it. The
guncotton, too, used by surgeons, is
dissolved in spirit, and so loses its
power to explode. Ambergris and
musk, two perfumes of animal origin,
have both been used as remedies. But
the musk costs los dose, so that only
few can afford to take it.

Washington's Marriage.

George Washington was married to
Martha Custis Jan. 6, 1869. There was
a brave show of resplendent uniforms
in the little church where the marriage
was solemnized. Officers of his majesty s
service crowded there to see their COM
rade welded The new governor, Fran
ois Fauquier, himself came, clad as be-
fitted his rank, and the bridegroom, in
blue and silver and scarlet, rode gal
lantly beside the coach and six that bore
bis bride homeward amid the thronging
friends of the countryside. The young
soldiers love of a gallant array and be-
coming ceremony was satisfied to the
full, and he must have rejoiced to be SC
brave q horseman on such day.

USE FOR COCKR0ACHES.
They Are Now Made Into Medicine Which
Cures Asthma.

Many people will be surprised to
learn, says Cassell's Saturday Journal,
that o use has been found for our
friend the cockroach. For years he
has been branded as pest, and we
have dosed him with borax, plaster
of paris, and insect powder. Now
the tables are turned, and the insect
physics us. American doctors say
that tincture of cockroach is good for
asthma, and the preparation has been
used lately in England. Any one
wishing to try the remedy can make
it by soaking four large cockroaches
in an ounce of spirit of wine for a few
days. Twenty drops of this liquid on
lump OF sugar ought to charm away
the worst attack. OF course, patients
might object TO the word "cockroach, "
but the Latin name "Llatta Orientalis, "
is sufficient TO allay the fears of the
most particular. Cockroach, tea is u
favorite domestic medicine with the
working classes in Russia. If cock
reaches will cure us, there is no reason
why spiders should not be tried also.
AS matter of fact, they have been
used by the homeopaths for years.
Solomon told US that we could find
spiders seven in kings palaces" but
nowadays we can trace them in inno-
cent. looking tinctures and sugar pills.
"TarantuIaa pilules" is a title that
should be worth fortune if well ad-
vertised, and,a tincture prepared from
the mygale--the great bird-eating
spider of Marlborough certainly to
possess equal virtues. Our choice,
however, is not confined to giant
spiders.
The garden spider, with the gold or
silver body, so common in the sum-
mer, will yield a useful preparation
if we may trust to the homeopathic

The Maria Teresa Goes Down In a

The Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa,
sunk by the American feet at Santa

forts of Naval Constructor Hobson and
the Merritt Chapman Wrecking com
pany, and started for Hampton Roads
on October 80, was sunk in a storm
about 80 miles off Watkins Island, one
of the Bahama group, on Tuesday OF
last week.
When the Maria Teresa was about
two days out under her own steam,
and in tow of the wrecking tug Mer-
ritt, a terrific storm came up. The
storm had been reported by the signal
service bureau; but not until after the
vessel had started on her trip north.

whether the Teresa would bo able to
