No greater miracle was wrought in
the Utah desert half century ago than
is being wrought today in the Casas
Grandes valley, across the line of Mexico,
There are bushels and bushels of the fin
est fruit being raised annually by the
thrifty Mormons and they haye turned
what was once almost a desert into a
smiling garden. The valley that was
only few years ago an almost uninhab-
tied and totally unproductive waste is
dotted here and there with thriving vii
lagos and productive farms and ranches.

Thomas s. Nowell of the Novel; Gold Mining company of Alaska is in the city, a guest of the Butler. Mr. Now ell claims to be the originator of the idea of making trading stock of the Philippines instead of attempting to pacify them, aud would offer to trade them to Great Britain for British Co- Iumbia and the Northwest Territory. The cousummation of this idea, Mir. Novel; says, would rid us of some thing that we do not need or want and secure for us something that is an ele. ment of weakness to Great Britain but which would be an element of strength to us.-Seattle Times.

wGNDHAM CITY NEWS,


 The Seaolin had several passengers for Windham bay last Saturday
 Black bear are frequently seen catch ing fish on Silver creek.
 R. England and Phil Shocks have been doing some development work on their Silver creek claims the past week.
 R. Barclay has been laid up with a sprained shoulder for two weeks. George Clark is cleaning lot on the town site aud getting ready to build d house before winter sets in.
 Ginas Chowan has been prospecting on Silver creek for two weeks He is favorably impressed with the prospects so far and thinks Windham will be a good camp in the near future.
 George Sutter, whose claim is situat- ed on the summit of the Spruce creek mountains, is packing down ton of rock for shipment to the Tacoma smell ter. An assay on some of the picked rock from this claim run over 5000 per ton.
 Charles Anderson came down from Sumdum last Monday to do some de- velopment work on the claim in the Second basin located by him and Rob ert Semple last June. He has already taken out some of the finest specimens or galena and gold found here yet.
 The Spruce creek side of Windham bay has been pretty thoroughly pros pected this last summer and most of the ground to the summit, distance of four miles, has been located and the To- cators are satisfied that they have got good claims. The most of the work done so far has been uncovering and prospecting the claims. The assays ob- tained have been very satisfactory. Some of the boys are talking of put ting in one or two stamp mill on some of the claims and work the ore as it comes from the tunnels. There are some very rich pay streaks in the ledg es which will more than pay the eX- pense of developing the mine,
 The miners are now turning their at tention to prospecting Silver creek. This stream enters the Shuck river about two miles south of Spruce creek, and is about eight miles long. There are about twenty small streams enter ing into it, all of which pan more or less gold. Silver creek drains about double the amount of country that Spruce creek does and is harder to prospect on account of the inaccessi- bility of the canyons. Any place where a man can get into the canyons he can make from five to fifteen dollars per day working placer in the low water season. The same mineral belt that runs through Snettisham, Sumdum and Spruce creek crosses Silver creek near the junction of the North and South forks. Five claims are already located west of the forks. J. H. K.

A LUCKY PRINTER GETS THE CLOTHES.

Mir. P. H. Fox, agent for the Royal Tailors, Chicago, has been giving tick cts to his customers which entitled them to a chance to become the proud possessors of a s2O suit of clothes. The drawing came off last Saturday after noon and the lucky number was 36l, which was held by the News man. We think that the very gods must have had something to do with that drawing, for if there is any one on Douglas Island that needs suit of clothes before win ter sets in, it's us When we get that suit we intend to go to church Sundays, and hobnob around generally with the swells. Our only fear is that the Roy al Tailors will go broke in the opera tion, but MT. Fox tells us that there is no danger. He tells us that the Royal Tanors of Chicago have been tailoring for the last 34 years and that they now have the largest establishment of the kind in the world; that they occupy a six-story steel building, and turn out on an average over 800 complete suits every day.

 There Is, however, no questioning the fact that the Nome fever has taken hold strongly. not only in the city, but more strongly if anything upon the creeks. The consequence undoubtedly will be, that an exodus to the beach diggings of Nome will take place, which very perceptlblV will re- duce the population of the town and of the adjacent territory.
 The question remains, how great a proportion Of our population will be thus affeetedp Undoubtedly the percentage will be large"
