ToNoPAH, Sept. ii, 1901.

ED. BULLETIN: The old adage, at
never raias but it pours, was illus.
trated a few days ago. The trans
Portatioa problem was solved by the
arrival Of l6 aad 20-animal teams
that ased up the water supply in
about ten minutes and reduced the
piles of sacked ere considerably.
Every one with rsck to ship has been
begging for teams.to haul it out, and
there is abundance ON top and enough
can be extracted to keep them going
for months. 1t depends Or the rail-
road, however, fer the teAma must
be loaded both ways to make hauling
profitable. The strike may make
that impossible, in which case We will
have a hard time to get in their sup
plies for the Winter. The weather
has changed very much and ice will
be forming here in week or two and
the wind Blowing q gale. This is
hard country for climate and people
must get food and shelter for Winter
or get out.
The mines Of the company never
looked better; they seem to improve
in depth both in aize and quality. ,...
The mines Of Gold Hill are produc-
isg well, and the Salt Lake company
which is working the Clifford prop
erty has an excellent chance for as
good mines az any in the camp.
There is considerable prospecting
going on outside and some fne assays
made. Much work 10 being dene on
wells near here aad the outlook is
good for obtaining q fair supply Of
water. Wood is hauled . lesg dist
ance and is very high. There are no
hotels worthy the name, and We are
all either imposing On osr friends or
camping cut.
The peoplc here are and have been
crazy in regard to town property,
aud prices are SO high that few care
risk less BY fire or the result OF the
change which will come by the first
OF the year. This is, therefore, the
hardest camp l have ever been in,
and the prospect OF improvement is
not Aattering now.
There is considerable sickness here
and l look for an epidemic Of typhoid
soon. The accumulated filth Of six
months will certainly tend to pro-
duce that result.
Our only amusement is poker Of
various kinds, with roulette on the
side. Most Of the boys get 10 ~

say about once a month, and lose.
But the money stays in the country

QUEER AMERICAN RIVERS.
One Florida River that Seems Unde.
cided What to Do.


Every variety OF river in the world
ton. What other country on the face
Of the globe affords such an assortment
of streams for fishing and boating and
swimming and skating-besides having
any number of streams op>.which you
can do none of these things? One can
hardly imagine rivers like that; but we
have them, plenty Of them, as you shall
see.
AS for fishing, the American boy may
cast his flies for salmon In the Arctic
circle, or angle for sharks under trop-
icalssun IN Florida, without leavingsthe
domain Of the American flag. But the
fishing-rivers are not the most curious,
nor the most instructive as to diversity
Of climate, soil and that sort Of thing
physical geography, the teacher calls
It.
For instance, If you want to get a
good idea Of what tropical heat and
moisture will do for country, slip your
canoe from Florida steamer into the
Ocklawaha River. It is as odd as its
name, and appears to be hopelessly un-
decided as to whether 1t had better con-
tinue in the fish and alligator and drain
age business, or devote itself to raising
Hve-oak and cypress trees, with Span
ish moss for mattresses as side prod
uct.
In this fickle-minded state 1t does a
little Of all these things, so that when
you are really on the river you think
you are lost In the woods, and when
you actually get lost In the woods, you
are quite confident your canoe is at last
on the river. This confusion is due to
the low, fiat country, and the luxuriance
Of tropical vegetation.
To say that such river overfows its
banks would hardly be correct; for that
would imply that it was not behaving
itself; besides, It hasn't any banks
OF, at least, very few! The fact is, those
peaceful Florida rivers seem to wander
pretty much where they like over the
pretty peninsula without giving offense;
but IL Jack Frost takes such liberty
presto! you should see how the people
get after him with weather bulletins
and danger signals and formidable
smudges. So the Ocklawaha River and
score of its kind roam through the
woods maybe 1t is the woods that
roam through them-and the moss
sways from the Hve-oaks, and the cy-
press trees stick their knees up through
the water In the oldest way imaginable.

moth rs fancy amateur varieties for

where firmness during transportation is
not considered more important than

get the fancy berries and fancy prices

Is well supplied, and as costs of pick

little more on the twelve-cent box than

Fairy Poultry Tales.

The daily papers report a certain
Boston millionaire as buying some fine
poultry at prices which make previous
big figures look small-$1, 900 for a
dozen birds, $4,000 for two pair, $7OO
for another pair. We never did bank
very heavily on the accuracy of the
daily papers when they treated matters
relating to poultry (not much on other
matters either) and know of no reason
for changing our method now. Indeed,
such statements serve to confirm us in
our old opinion of the inaccuracy of the
daily papers.-Farm Poultry.
