LAYERS OF GOLD.
Wonderful Rich Rock Unearthed in a
 Washington Mine.

A special from Colville, Wash, says: One of the richest strikes in the his tory of the state is reported from the Little Gem mine, three miles east of Rock Cut. The shaft is down ninety feet, and it was in the bottom of the shaft that the vein was fully uncov- cred. Chunks of rock weighing from five to ten pounds were taken out, and show maleable free gold in layers
 Assays show that the rock will go s25,000 to S40,000 to the ton in free gold. The vein runs transversely across the bottom of the shaft, de- scribing a nearly perpendicular dip where the discovery was first made. The vein is ten inches in width with free gold sparsely scattered through the rock immediately outside the vein. The property is owned by the Federal Mining company of Spokane. A rush of prospectors from other camps has followed the announcement of this strike, and claims are staked on every side. Two hundred men are on the ground now, but more follow every day.
 Washington state has never before had such rich rock unearthed as that which is causing the present excite ment.

 MT. S. H. Gould, well known in No gales. has been placed in charge of the Old Glory mill and mine at Gro B1anco under the management of MT. E. T. Hale. The mill has now run steadily about fifty days, making a daily output of gold bullion which is very gratify- ing to the owners and management.
 Messrs. R. A. F. Penrose and John Brockman, owners of the famous Gem monwea1th mine at Pearce. returned Friday night from a trip to the Allison and Burrows mines in the Babo1ui- varis. MT. Burrows had already sold his interest to MT. Brockman. and it is more than probable that the whole property will be turned over to him self and MT. Penrose soon.
 Returning prospectors rail against the Yaqui region and have much tC say against those who led them off on a wild goose chase.

 F. B.

The ledge is from eight inches to one foot in width, and holds it's value remarkably well. The shaft is fifty feet deep, and it is proposed to take out the ore and ship, some of the ore being sacked already.

MANY WARS OF SPAIN.

'No man is braver than a Span iard," said Sir Richard Grenville of Devon. The history of Spain is his tory of incessant struggle, incessant warfare and incessant cruelty.
 Spain, as we understand the name. came into being with the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella. By this union two great provinces were made one and others came in to make the whole. Under Ferdinand and Isa- bella began the voyages of discovery which were to give Spain nine tenths of the new world. Being the initia- tive reign of Spain as nation it was, of course, warlike reign. Three men out of four when asked to name the leading events of Ferdinand's occu- pancy of the throne will say that Col umbus made an egg stand up for his delectation, and discovered America, and stop there. Yet in that reign the Moors were driven from Spain; the inquisitiOn was established; Torque- maGa was power second only to the pope himself; the Jews were eXpatri- ated; there were many wars in Italy: there was a war with France to re- cover Cerdagne and Roussillon, which had been mortgaged to France by Fer dinand's father; there was the rise ! and rld-flling fame of Gonsalvo de 1 Cordova, the great soldier; there was the utter defeat of the French on It. allan soil; there were successful wars | in Africa and the wars of the so-called | Holy League.
 In the days which followed Herman ] do Cortez fought and conquered Mex 1 ico and Francisco Pizarro under con- tract fought and conquered Peru. This man gave to Spain a territory which i extended through thirty-nine degrees
 of latitude and included all of those countries now known as Peru, Ecua-
 dor, Bolivia, and Chilli. Every day O.

 They fought so close together that when the rammers were withdrawn from the guns they frequently struck the men on the hostile ship. The gun ners abused each other and shouted de- liant words during the action. Finally the Americans boarded, although the English had always boasted that none could board a ship and take it in hand-to-hand action but themselves. When the Americans boarded the Frolic only a dozen men were standing on her deck, and they surrendered at once. Out of the Frolic's crew of 13o men 105 were killed and wounded. The Wasp lost about twenty-five.

EXPLOITS OF AMERICAN NAVY.

The little ships of the Americans were as quick as the large ones to win triumphs. The sloop-of-war Korent, which had hlockaded a British sloop in a British Guiana port, challenged her to come out and fight The English ship refused, whereupon the Hornet cruised down the coast and met the English sloop-of-war Peacock, which she sank in ten minutes. Another British sloop-of-war, the Espiegle, was in sight while this battle was going on, but she did not come to the Peacock s assistance. Why she didn't has never been known.

RICH PLACERs IN WYOMING.
Chicago Men Think They Have
 Field That is Kiondyke.

If the reports which Judge D. H. Craig of Raw1ins, Wyo., brings to Chi cago are borne out of the develop ments the next few months, the world will soon be talking about richer placer fields in Wyoming than ever was heard of in Alaska. He tells of a district in the center of state where there are thousands of acres filled with gold in a comparatively coarse form, and only waiting the introduction of water to begin giving daily fortunes to the for tunate possession.
 Judge Craig is enthusiastic about the future of this part of Wyoming. Which lies in Fremont county, On what are called the Oregon Buttes. He says that the chain of evidence is such as to satisfy his mind beyond a reason able doubt that the district is the best placer proposition in the United States. Yet, strange to say, he is not person. ally interested in these mines. He is lawyer, first, last and all the time, and it was only through his employ ment as counsel for a company that Is about to develop property in that coun- try that he came to appreciate the richness of the fields He has talked lately, however, with a number of men who have worked claims on a small scale and their reports have only encouraged him in his belief.
 The judge is stopping at the Audi torium this week, his business in the city being of personal nature, but he was willing to talk at length yes terday about the plans Of the Oregon Butte Mining company and about the character of the property which ii controls.
 According to his statement the Ore gon Butte people have a total of 5.S4e acres of auriferous gravel with ar average depth Of little over six feet The value of the gold in sight in this gravel has been estimated from about 5000 tests to be we'll over $45, ,0OO, 900 The company which is forturatt enough to be in control of these splen did fields of almost boundless wealtE intends to begin to take out the golt early this spring and if it's plans art realized the fortunate stockholder. will begin to receive dividends befor, the summer is over
