TUNNELlNG PALMER MOUNTAIN.
A Great Mining Enterprise in the
State of Washington.

The most extensive mining
operations in the state are in
progress on Palmer mountain,
which rears it's head just
back Of Loomis. Into this famous
hill, which set the whole Northwest
wild with a gold stampede in the
early '90'S, 2 Spokane company is
driving a monster tunnel to tap the
very heart of the mountain. That
tunnel is 1850 feet in length, and it
has crossed II veins. That is to say,
it has crossed that number of width
of from 3 to 40 feet. score of other
veins, ranging from a few inches to
between two and three feet have also
been cut, but the company is engaged
upon so great an enterprise that no at
tention is given to these "stringers,"
as they are termed, although many
mine has paid dividends for such
veins.
The story of the big tunnel has a
tinge of romance. The camp was all
astir in 80, and the excitement lasted
until the financial crash came in '93.
Then extravagant management met
it's usual WATERLOO. The mines all
shut down. Not one was left work
ing. The Black Bear and War Eagle,
which had been sending out beautiful
gold bricks with great regularity,
stopped work and soon passed into
creditors hands. Desolation took the
place of industry.
John Boyd has been the merchant
at Loomis. During the boom days he
had the bulk of the camps business
and he laid by a nice penny for a
rainy day, which came all to soon and
Unexpectedly. The camp was desert
ed. Prunes and bacon lay decaying
on the shelves. Something had 10 be
done.
John Boyd was no miner, but the
abundant gold which he had seen from
the surface workings of Palmer
mountain gave him supreme faith in
the gray old hill. So he set himself
to the task of acquiring the claims
which the discouraged holders were
usually glad to drop for a fraction of
what they had once hoped to receive.
1t took almost three years for him
to get the plan in working order which
he had mapped out for himself It's
contamination was finally reached
when he had the whole south side of
Palmer mountain in one great group
of AZ claims, leaving only two in the
hands Of other parties, the Black
Bear and War Eagle, now being op-
Grated by Sopkane-Toronto syndi-
cate.
In this great group of AZ claims
were some noteworthy ones. Claims
were there that had yielded immense
values from the surface workings.
Veins ribbed the mountain side from
foot to summit. All of these showed
free gold on the surface, and some OF
them carried bonanza values.
Boyd was told by the wise ones that
these free milling veins would turn TO
base sulphides at little depth. II he
had been miner he might have be-
lieved these eroakers, and the tunnel
never would have been driven. But
he was a business man. knowing little
OF veins except that these carried
gold and that gold makes dividends II
you find enough of it. He went TO
Spokane, and elected the support of
some nervy operators. ID. NJ. Drum

No galleon fraught with golden hopes
Labors the Spanish sea;
No favored colorado opens
Her magic mines for me;
But when upon my lady's breast
Enraptured / recline,
Then all the wealth of all the West
Is poverty to mine.

Her sweet, clear soul see,

InSurrec ton Ended,

New York. Jan. ga special to the
Sun from Washington says: 1t was
learned today from official sources that
the President intends to issue within
the next thirty days his Philippine
proclamation extending amnesty to
the insurgents and denouncing as out
laws and bandits all who do not avail
themselves of it's terms. This deter
mination was reached after several
conferences with the Secretary of War
and other members of the Cabinet.
The proclamation, 1t Is announced,
will contain first declaration Of the
end Of the insurrection in the islands
This will be followed by the granting
OF amnesty to all insurgents who lay
down their arms within a specified
time. The time has not been decided
upon, but the President believes sixty
days sufficient, and this meets the ap-
royal of the Secretary of War.

CAYPLESS AND HARTwELL.

The Washington Post of January

The hearings on the Hawaiian bill
were continued yesterday before the
House Committee on Territories Mr..
Edward Caypless of Honolulu, spoke in
opposition to 1t, on the ground that the
property qualification would work the
Acknowledgement Of the natives. In
this connection he severely arraigned
the Dole administration, ana asserted
that $1,000 of United States funds
were being used to defray the expenses
Of those coming here for the govern
ment to secure legislation against the
natives.
Mr.. Alfred S. Hartwell, special agent
of the government of Hawaii, contra
dcted the statement, but Mr.. Caypless
did not withdraw 1t. He asserted that
the present administration of Hawaii
was unfit to rule the natives, and that
the latter should have the fostering |
care of this government.

The flower of the British army has
marched up another hill and down
again, leaving behind terrible trail of
dead and wounded to attest the power
of the Boer fighters. AS usual Butler
has made magnificent retreat AL
though able to retire in good order,
there is nothing to show that his army
did the Beers any serious damage. The
power to resist a second advance has
not weakened. The Beers continue to
win. 1t is by no means unlikely that
the new activity of the British navy
portends a bold move; possibly the
seizure of Delagoa bay. Cutting off
this source of Boer supply seems to be
Great Britain's only chance for bring
ing the war to speedy end.

KENTUCKY STWO GOVERNORS

Frankfort, KY, Jan. 3f.-Kentucky
now has two Governors, each claiming
full de facto and de jure powers of
office. William Gobel, fighting death
in his rooms at the Capitol Hotel, a
martyr to his political ambition, was
given the oath Of Office as Governor by
Chief Justice Hazelrigg at 8 o'clock
this evening. The oath was admins
tered to him as the result of the action
OF the Democratic members of the
Legislature who signed resolution
declaring Goebel and j. C. w. Beckham
the rightful executive officers Of the
commonwealth. Propped up in his
bed, Mr.. Goebel took the oath of office.
and Immediately signed proclamation
disbanding the militia gathered here
under Governor Taylor's orders. He
also appointed Brigadier General John
b. Castleman, United States Volun-
teers, retired, Adjutant General to
take charge of the troops.
The contest between the two men.
each claiming full legal powers as Gov
ernor OF the State, has now reached its
cllmax. Until 8 o'clock this evening
all the events of the day seemed to 60

OF being in the position he was in two
days ago, when IL was only with the
greatest efforts that the Republican
members of the Legislature were kept
together upon the floor and there SEEM
ed no way for the party to turn to save
itself, all the cards seemed for the time
to have fallen into his hands. Where
last night everyone had predicted that
the shooting of Goebel meant ruin for
the Republican claims, the very re-
verse seemed to be the case. Now the
issue Is such that no one can predict
the outcome.

cussed tonight Is the calling of Federal
troops to preserve peace. Adyices from
Washington indicate that such action

A good sized garrison and naval sta
ton for Honolulu is a proposition that
meets general favor among the people
of the city. The more national work
here the better. 1t means money for
large and small merchants and the ad-
dition of good class of people to the
community. To call for an increased
garrison for fear of our inability to
cope with the riotous tendencies of an
Asiatic population would be an adms-
sion of weakness, that would do more
to reduce the value of securities than
any body of American soldiers can
overcome

is a distinct gain for the people. AS
Congress becomes more thoroughly ac-

the possibility of these Islands being
granted thoroughly American gov

from San Francisco Monday morning.
e. 0. Lindblom, one Of the discoveries
of Cape Nome is heading a winter ex-
petition to that district. 1t is his pur-
pose to go overland from katmai, on the
Alaskan peninsula, reaching that point

Pierce, F. Souders, j. H. Franklin and d.
eral others will join the expedition at
SitKa. Their overland voyage from Kat
mai will be across to Bristol bay and up
the Kuskokwim. They will follow this
stream to within short distance of it's
headwaters. Leaving the river, they will
then proceed in a direct line to Bering
sea and around the rim of the shore ice
to Nome.
Lindblom hopes to be able to meet at
