CORRESPONDENCE.
Editor REPORT
Dear Sir:

American Eagle, Daisy and Black
Jack sold for $4,000 cash, to Couer
d. Alene parties, presumably Stand
ard oil Co., and now the Mascot. the
property of Cook and Peck comes
into. consideration. This claim
shows even better prospects than
the chief sales that have been made
so far. 1t is the natural connecting
link between the Black Jack and
Mckinley groups, and is, in fact
more valuable than either of the
aforesaid properties from a practi-
cal point Of view.
Now that both the Black Jack
and Mckinley are sold, we propose
to put to the front properties that
hitherto have been hardly men
toned. Take the Chair creek prop
osition, with depth they will prove
superior to all properties hitherto
submitted, for with them you can
find walls in the proper place and
lodges defined, but as the Black Jack
and Mckinley showed up best on
surface we confined our remarks to
those properties only.
Some good discoveries have been
made on Sheep Gulch since our last
letter but we are not prepared to
specify just now.
Harry Southland is making good
progress upon his placer claim and
will probably strike pay dirt in a
few days.
Sup't Turnbull of the Cow Greek
placer claim has now full force of
workmen on hand and is doing
good work. He says the company
are highly gratitied with results OBJ
tanned. Mr.. Turnbull is the right
man in the right place. 1t is a
matter of remark that our friend,
Mr.. Byron Jenkins, now working
at the Cow Creek placer company,
failed to come to town this week.
Pogne & Grow have discovered some
very valuable claims in the last few
days. Marion Kramer has two
very valuable claims, which he re-
fuses to sell even for cash. Burn
ham. Thompson & Hillman are in
on their property 80 feet, at which
depth they get an assay of 1913 per
ton. The above property is stu
ated on Sheep Gulch.
Mr.. Curtis still holds forth at the
old stand and is doing good bust
ness, likewise Ralston Taft.
Yours respectfully,
PROPRIETOR.

CLEARWATER ROW IS ON
AGAIN,
Election of Kennedy Cuts No
Figure, Favorable Annual
Report.

from the Special Wall Street Cor
respondent OF The spokesman-R Review
NEW YORK, July 14.-The
meeting today of the Oregon Navi-
cation board developed the fact
that the Clearwater row is worse
than ever. The situation there is
becoming acute, and open hostili-
ties are fe AIRED soon. The election of
John S. Kennedy to the Northern
Pacific board cuts no figure. The
Burlington and Milwaukee have
the same directors, and so have the
Lackawanna q Jersey Central and
other competing lines. Kennedy
and others are interested in both
the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, and would like to see har-
mony, but can not make it while
the Clearwater row is on. Personal
animosities enter into this situation.
Hill. Morgan, Mohler and Mellen are
not friends.
1t is the opinion of the street that
some large banking interests, more
or less connected with the Northern
Pacific property, haye acquired a
considerably increased interest
therein the last few months. The
principal incentive to bull the stock
comes from the expectation of
very favorable. annual report.
unfortunately the company'e cap.
itaiization is heavy. Otherwise it
could undoubtedly make much
better dividend record, for while
people in the northwest might view
with unfriendliess the payment of
dividends on large scale on North
ern Pacific common, as representing
the last $4,000 of $4,000 per
mile capitalization, they would
probably be less disposed to object
to the payment of good dividends on
capitalization of $4,000 per
mile or lees.

HOLDERS.
From Special Wall Street Correspondent
of The Spokesman-Rrvie
NEW YORK July 14.-The
Oregon Railroad & Navigation d.
rectors held a meeting late this
afternoon, at which it was decided to
dissolve the voting trusts under the
terms Of agreement. This means
that the control CT the property
passes into the hands of the COM
mon stockholders, the principal one
of which is the Oregon Short Line.
AS the Union Pacific controls the
Oregon Short Line it may be now
said to control the Oregon Rail
road & Navigation, which has been
controlled by the Great No rthern
and Northern Pacific. This is a
very important transfer of control.
1t is said that President Mellen. of
the Northern Pacific, will retire
from the board, as will Director
Coster and another director who
represents the Northern Pacific.
The Great Northern and North
ern Pacific shared the majority of
preferred stock, which, according to
agreement, was to control the prop
erty unit 10 per cent has been paid
in, when the common stock should
take control. This is what has hap
pened today, The new board will
be in entire harmony with the
Union Pacific. The bearing OF this
change on the Clearwater con-
troversy is easy to see.

emit Medicines?

From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard.
NC.
1t may be a question whether
the editor of a newspaper has the
right to publicly recommend any of
the various proprietary medicines
which food the market, yet as a
preventive of suffering we feel it a
duty to say a good word for chan
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy. We have known
and used this medicine in our
family for twenty years and have
always found it reliable. In many
cases a dose of this remedy would
save hours of suffering while a
physician is awaited. We do not be
lieved in depending implicitly on
any medicine for cure, but we do
believe that if a bottle of Chamber
lain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept
on hand and administered at the
inception of an attack much suffer
ing might be avoided and very
many cases the presence of a
physician would not be required.
at least this has been our experience
during the past twenty years. For

Annie Webster (colored). was up in

charged with raising a. general row and
trying to take the life of her brother,

with hot coon" and the other day
she wrote him a love letter. which in
some manner fell into the hands of his
sister, Annie, and Which was the cause
OF general soaring up in their section

he was capable of taking care of his

knife made its appearance and had 1t
not been for the speediness of Daniel he

SWEEPING STREETS
Present Occupation Of Man VINO
Once Was Dreaded All Along tho
Western Frontier.

There is now sweeping streets in this
city man who has had as stirring
life as falls to the human lot, ard who
in his way was formerly famous. Rich
ard T. Marcy is half-hreed Indian, be-
ing the son of a full-blooded Apache
squaw and negro slave. lie Is the
father of % children, born Of five wives,
and has discharges showing honorable
service in the United States army for
over so years. His scalp has hcen val
ued as high as $4,000, although he
never possessed one-tenth Of thai Eam;
and to-day, at 62 years Of age, lss, b as
clipper as lad Of 21.
Marcy spent the first 16 years Of his
life in an Indian camp. The life was
much too dull for a boy of his fire, al
would wish. He enlisted in the er1ny
as scout, and in 1861 was transferred
with 100 other friendly Indians to the
eastern field of war. But the life in
the white mans camp was hardly suit
ed to the tremendously warriors Of the
plains; and the ways of the white mans
war were all too new to them. Marcy
and his comrades had come to scout,
primarily, although they were willing
to shoulder gun if occasion required;
but they most emphatically had not
come to do the dirty work OF camp.
\ mutiny arose among them. Buffalo
Bill Cody, then also scout in the east
ern armies, laid the matter before the
president personally, stating that the
Indians, although loyal, were not ac.
customed to the discipline of the rcgu-
lar army. Lincoln saw all this at a
glance and sent the band of scouts TO
serve in the west. Here they did good
work, Marcy SO distinguished himself
that within ten years he was one of the
terrors Of the western frontier. When
Sitting Bull rose he disguised himself
in war paint and went to offer his serv-
ices to the famous chief. He so de-
ceived Sitting Bull that the greater part
of the latter's movements became
known to the whites. When the chief,
| after his crushing defeat, took refuge
in Canada he remembered the manner
in which Marcy had hoaxed him with
| such rage that he sent back to the ter
ritory offering $4,000 for the scalp of
the scout. But no one seemed anxious
70 earn the reward. Marcy served on
until three years ago, when he took
his discharge to seek his fortune at
some other trade. He wandered to New
York, and seeing nothing else handy,
offered himself to Col. Warning as a
street sweeper. He has been in the
service ever since and is apparently
satisfied. Three of his II sons are in
the navy and one is in the army.-N. Y.

account or Investigations as TO the or
ig-in of the habits and mode of life OF
certain animals, and the conclusion at
which he seems to arrive is that all
such phenomena may be explained on
the ground Of atavism. Thus he claims
that the horse of our day derives his
swiftncss and power of endurance FROM
the fact that his ancestors in former
days We're obliged to flee from, and fire.
Huently to defend themselves against.
their great enemies, the wolves. In like
manner he claims that the reason why
the horse SHES is because his ancestors
were forced to be constantly on the
alert against hidden enemies, and that
the reason why lie rears and plunges is
because only by pursuing such tactics
could his forefathcrs shake off wild
animals who had lcaped upon their
backs.
Sheep when frightened Immediately
rush off to the highest point they gan
reach. The reason, says DR. Robinson
is because all sheep originally inhabited
mountainous districts. And this, he
claims. is also the reason why they wear
q thick fleece Of wool ali the year
through, the summer temperature III
mountainous districts being almost as
cold as that of winter. Finally, we are
assured that the reason sheep invari-
ably follow 4 leader is because thciran-
