The Salmon and Clearwater placer
mines in Idaho, according to the Wells
Fargo Express Company's receipts,
yielded in gold dust and nuggets, from
.thirty-eight to forty-five million dot
lars between 1860 and. '64. Notwith-
standing the difficulties of Transports
tion in those days, remoteness from CIV
ilization and hostile Indians, the fame
Of the rich gold placers around Elk
City, Florence, Orc Elmo and Millers-
burg reached the outside world, and q
stampede marked the opening Of the
sixties. Bancroft, the historian, long
ago expressed the belief that these pla-
Ger mines were but the outskirts OF
washings Of a richer central deposit.
and almost simultaneously with the
recent completion of the Northern Pa
cities Lewiston, Idaho, extension from
Spokane comes the announcement that
prospectors have discovered immense
lodges Of gold-bearing quartz in the
Buffalo Hump range, lying between
the Salmon and South, Fork Of the
Clearwater, along which latter stream
the Northern Pacific is now building it's
Clearwater line. For q map giving
fuller information regarding this new
mining region, send two-cent stamp to

Paris, June 6. - The court of cassa-
ton Saturday rendered a verdict In
favor of a revision of the Dreyfus
case, and ordering a new court-martial
to sit at Rennes. sixty miles from
Nantes, for the trial of the prisoner.
Previous to the announcement OF the
verdict crowds of people assembled at
the palace Of justice and in it's neigh
borhood. awaiting the decision. Per-
feet calm prevailed. The decision,
which was pronounced at 3:4O p. M.
SAYS the prisoner is to be retired on
the following question:
SIS Drcyfus guilty of having prac-
ticed, in 1884, Vaccinations or having
had communication with a foreign
power, or it's agents, with a view OF
| facilitating acts of hostilities in case OF
war with France, or having furnished
/ the means therefor by furnishing notes
| of documents retraced on the border
eau?"
The audience received the decision
with cries of "Vive la justice" "Vlve
Ia loie."
The cabinet council yesterday morn
ing decided that the French third-class
cruiser Sfax, now at Port de France,
Martinique, should proceed immediate
ly and bring Dreyfus from the Isle of
Devils to France. The cruiser is ex-
pected to arrive at Brest about June
16. when Dreyfus will be handed to
the military authorities and lodged IN
the military prison at Rennes. His
conviction having been annulled by
the united court Of cessation, his mill
tary rank and title are restored to him.
He will occupy an officers cabin on
board the Sfax and will be allowed on
deck from 1 to 4 o'clock every after
noon. 1t is pointed out that the court
Of cassation voted unanimously for re-
vision and only debated the manner
under which it should be carried out.

William Henry Preece, chief cleo
frical engineer of the British govern
ment. recently read a paper before the
London Society of Arts upon etheric
'telegraphy. Referring to the expert
Iments conducted by Prof. Marcont,
The said that both the board Of
trade and the postofice department
had informed the officers of the Mar
conf company Of readiness to make a
test of his system between the South
Sand Head lightship and Dover. In
spite of these offers the Marconi COM
pany had preferred to experiment else
where, and to prove what was not
necessary to be proved, to-wit, that 1t
is possible to signal across the straits
of Dover. The result is that two years
after the practicability of such sig
mailing had been shown not one single
independent circuit exists. The oper-
ations of the Marconi company, added
Mr.. Preese, are concentrated more
lupon the operations of the stock ex-
change than upon the establishment OF
useful circuits.

Rebels Driven From Their Intrench-
ments on the Outskirts.
Manila, June 1.-Two battalions OF
the Washington troops, under Col.
Whalley, on board cascoes, were towed
from Pasig to Morong on Sunday and
landed under cover of a well directed
fire from the "tin-clad" army gun
boats Napidan and Covadonga. The
rebels, who were intrenched in the out
skirts of the town reserved their fire
until the troops were ashore and in the
open. The American artillery opened
fire on the insurgents and drove them
from their positions, killing nine of
them and wounding five. The Wash
ilgton troops then took the town, the
rebels fleeing to the hills. While the
Americans were on their way to Mo-
rong the insurgents opened fire from a
shore battery at Ancona, the first shot
striking the Covadonga's awning at a
range Of $500 yards. The Napidan
also was fired at.

A very interesting refrigerating plant
has been installed in the great market
buildings in Vienna, which, although
there are other and IS important
plants elsewhere, possesses features
that render it worthy OF notice. AS the
plant is intended merely to maintain
a low temperature, without reaching
the freezing point, thus providing stor-
age rooms cool enough to insure the
proper preservation of meats and other
market articles, and at the same time
avoiding the objections Of too low tenn
perature, the indirect system is
adopted, cooled air being distributed
through the storage chambers by a
forced circulation. The refrigerating
machines used in this especial IA op-
crate with carbonic acid gas, tho gas
being compressed to liquefaction and
producing cold when 1t is allowed to
