Fabulous Report from the Big Bend
of the Snake.
GRAVEL LIKE THE KLONDIkE
Deposit Of Conglomerate Running as High as
$27 Yard-Rnsh Stake Claims.

Payette, June 18.-The larges
discovery of gold ever made IN the
United States, South Africa or the
famous Klondike has lately beer
made in the vicinity of what is known
as the Big Bend of the Snake river
A pit that an Eastern firm has dug
at a cost of $4,000 to the depth of 50
feet shows the following:
At depth of 40 feet the gravel
showed SO per yard at 30 feet sl2;
at 60 feet $40; at 50 feet s27. 1t is
conglomerate gravel deposit and is
found to extend over distance of
four miles wide and 10 long, and is
under layer of quartzite rim rock
four feet thick.
All the ground has been staked off
for miles. An Ontario company has
control of More than 1900 acres and
Is prominent men went out today to
locate. Surveyor John Milliken is
on the ground. Sheriff Thorp, of
Caldwell, has sent out men and will
go tonight with others. Weiser and
Payette have formed company for
the purpose of making locations
Capitalists from the East-Salt Lake
Leadville and Provo, Utah, have
large holdings At Salt Lake de-
veloping company has been formed
and stock is being sold.
The foregoing dispatch appears
in Wednesdays statesman and dill
gent inquiry indicates that it is not
imagination, but an actual fact. The
rush has been tremendous, and the
river is now said to be located for
40 miles The scene of the excite
ment is 80 miles up the snake from
Weiser. Henry Sommercamp re-
ceived a tip before the matter cot
into the papers and succeeded in Sc
curing 800 acres. p. P. Shelby and
other Weiser parties have similar To-
cations, The gold.bearing material
Is said to resemble the Rand in Afri- |
ca IN every particular. Perhaps we
have a Rand here.

Baker City VS.. Weiser.

Last Sunday afternoon the Weisel
ball team played a match contest
with the Baker City team. Through
the rank decisions of the Baker CITY
umpire the team of that town won
by score of Z to 3. From reports
reached us the game was decidedly
shot one, " but it is safe wager
that the Weiser team could defeat
them in an honest meet.

ARRIVAL OF Mr.. MORGAN
THROWS NO LIGHT on THE NORTH
ERN PACIFIC SITUATION,
Therefore, Sentimental New York Is
increasingly Notwithstanding
stocks Decline Heavily.

NEW YORK. oct. 2S.-There was no very
aggressive bull spirit manifest from the
outset in to-day's stock market, although
there was some support for special stocks
from time to time. and rather hating
attempt made TO revive the spirit of the
bulls by bidding up group of specialties
about midday. The demand for stocks,
however, was at a minimum and prices
kept sagging to a lower level. The pres
sure was not severe through the great part
of the day, but gained force and in the last
hour of the session became acute. The
bears added their selling to the realizing
and uncovered stop-loss orders. The real
izing was by recent speculative buyers
evidently, as was shown by the conspicu-
Gus weakness of those stocks which have
been under recent manipulation for the
advance. The fall in Northwestern was So;
Delaware & Hudson, 4; st. Paul, 1885, Anal
gamated Copper, 49, General Electric and
Colorado Fuel, 8; Sugar 215; New York
Central, 2ss Union Pacific, pa; Missouri
Pacific Northern Pacific preferred, b. & O.,
Tennessee Coal and Reading preferred. 2.
The taking of bear profits by the room
traders caused only feeble rallies, and the
closing was weak at about the lowest.
Undoubtedly the hardening tendency of
the money market and the prospect of gold
shipments TO Paris this week prompted the
speculative liquidation. But it was true
also that a growing spirit of doubt arose
as to the recently current rumors which
have been the basis for advancing prices.
The clouds of uncertainty which have gath
cred again over the Northern Pacific set
Element seemed to gather gloom in the
speculative mind after Mr.. Morgan had ar
rived at mis- Office and no instantaneous
statement of a settlement was given out.
The renewed weakness of Amalgamated
Copper also was an unSettling influence.
The selling of this stock and Sugar was
very heavy for Boston account Call loans
rose to per cent, and the assurance which
was prOfessed on Saturday over the in
crease in the cash reserves of the banks
was dssipated and yielded to anxiety on
account of the large loan expansion. For
eign exchange continued firm, but no gold
was engaged for export TO Germany by to-
morrow's steamers. In fact, the discount
rate at Berlin eased off a fraction and ster
ling exchange hardened. indicating a relax
alton of the pressure at that point
The railroad bond market was Influenced
somewhat by the weakness in stocks, but
changes We're not important. Total sales
at par value were S2.1OOO00. United States
bonds were all unchanged on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

SOLD BEEF ON SUNDAY.
But Because 1t Was Smoked He Was
Not Fined.
New York Telegraph.


Remarks have been made in certain quar-
tiers to the effect that all flesh is grass.
This doubtless is true in a fgurative way,
but there is grass and grass. Some grass
is green and some Is dried and called hay.
SO it would appear is flesh. This is the
law.
1t was Martin S. Barry, of 795 Greenwich
street arrested yesterday by Anderson, a
policeman, for he crime of selling meat on
Sunday, who raised the novel point of law
that he did not sell fresh meat at all and
therefore was not amenable. What he did
sell. he said, was smoked beef.
