| Of the Cape Nome mining district last
| summer" said ]. H. Brown who is al
the Knutsford. having just come down
from the new Alaskan gold fields. The
newspapers have given the amount al
S4eee,o e'. but that is far too high. If the
district continues next year TO produce
like II did during the summer there will
be an immense yield in 1900.
The best paying property belongs to
dinavians. it is No. / below discovery
in Anvil creek, and they took out $500 600
so far They haven't worked half the
ground and it is good for that amount
next year. LiEdeberg lost $4,000 gambling
this summer. but he doesn't mind it with
such property as he has.
The beach diggings are paying i'm
menSeiy and there will be many a man
who will come out rich next year.
Mr.. Brown has a sack full of sand con-
tanning very coarse gold, showing what
he secured in three pans. and the whole
beach along the Cape shows up as well.
T. n. Wilson, cattleman from Kane
county. confirms statements that have
been made in The Herald concerning
the 6rouih which has destroyed the ranges
of the southwestern end OF the state.
Everyone who can Is bringing out his
herds said he last evening at the Ken
yon. There is practically nothing for
cattle to eat now and there is nothing but
starvation facing cattle that are turned
feed on shrubbery and green leaves like
sheep. Some cattle which are fed up
well during the summer might pun
through. but there has been no summer
feeding.
1T is out of the question to talk about
feeding hay. 1t is already worth $40 a ton.
Gus. In fact. we consider that 1t is I'M
profitable TO feed when hay goes higher
than So or 81 per ton:
sheep will probably get through the
her.
tie will starve to death They will find
enough shrubbery in the ravineS and
valleys TO keep alive
How did / come to name my postofice
Dewey" asked Samuel n. King. who is
county We'll / didn't want to call 1t
Dewey. 1 thought it might be named
Kings Ferry. for have a ferry there.
Il asked fer the postoftice, for the mail
passes my Goor every DAY; | thought |
might as well have mail left there instead
of being carried on, and so did the neigh
bors. 1t was just after Dewey's victory
at Manila. The postofilce department be-
known than Sam King. so the gentleman
who looks after such matters called my
place Dewey. AS a consequence my name
will not be perpetuated in the name OF a
postoffice. 1t seems to me that there are
so many Dewey postoffices. cigars. hair
restorers and patent medicines that the
great admiral wouldn't object If the
postoffice had been named after me. He's
got so much fame that he could afford to
divide il up to some extent Still. it's
Dewey, and it viii remain Dewey till the
end of time or till l move
