THE SHEEP WERE CAUGHT.
The Assessor and Sheriff Chase
an scapine Sheep-man.

Mr.. Williamson, our County Asses
sor, and Sheriff Newman, returned on
Tuesday from their trip, spoken of in
last weeks News. The trip was an
sventful one. Mr.. Williamson learned
that the owner OF two bands OF sheep,
numbering 1000 head, was trying to es'
cape across the Utah line, to avoid as
sessment, and so he resolved to over
haul those sheep, The sheep were on
the East side of Antelope valley, near
the head OF Spring Creek, and only
two and half miles from the Utah
line. Spring Creek is where the line
crosses. At two o'clock In the morn
ing, in the midst OF binding snow
storm, Mr.. Williamson marshalled his
forces, and started In pursuit. The
sheep-owner was caught mapping. He
had camped for the night, not dream
ing that any county officer could be
Jealous enough to rise at two O'Clock,
and brave the storm without break
fast. BY the time the sun was up, he
would be out OF Nevada, and the White
Pine officials might return as they had
come. But he counted without his
host. Like Napoleon or Stonewal
Jackson, our Assessor knew the value
of surprise. The sheep were found
on this side of the line, and the assess
ment OF $40, 900 made. The early ride
was about twelve miles. When cor
nered, the sheep-owner confessed him
self beaten, and handed over his check
for 1885, 90, which will go to help the
county to pay its debts.
The fun of the thing is, that thi'
same sheep-man once got away from
Mr.. Williamson, and then Dragged
about it. This time the laugh was or
the other side. The County may well
feel proud of our Assessor, who at con
siderable personal discomfort, succeed
ed In collecting such snug little sun
for County expenses.
The Sheriff, by the way, found thai
the man did not require license, as he
had lease OF 5000 acres, more thar
enough for the pasturage OF his hocks

The N. w. M. Police at Hootaljnqua
are compelling every miner going into
the Big Salmon district to register his
name and the creek to which he is 60

eral parties have been lost in the dis

their friends 10 end of anxiety. All
missing parties have now been located
and under the present system it will
be possible to determine just where to
look for miner in case he is reported
lost

Of old G. G. Runner, the Lake creek
mine owner, arrived on last nights
train after quick trip out: having left
there day before yesterday morning at
eight o'clock. After cleaning up, he
was ready to talk but first spread out
about $500 in dust that was sluiced
from the claim the day before he left.
His hydraulic plant was ready for op-
Grafton when he left and is now in act
i've working. He reports that new
discoveries have been made on the op-
posite side of the river to Lake creek
and are reported to be good. Moose
creek is the name of the new discovery.
On Little Violet, where he has had men
at work for the past two weeks, good re-
suits are shown and there is every
possibility that this creek can be work
ed in the winter.
Bishop Rowe who left Sitka in June
1900 for tour of inspection and super
vision of the Mission Stations of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the Di-
ocese of Alaska, has returned to Sitka
! says the Alaskan. For fourteen months
he has wandered along the Arctic
shores, traversed the Behring sea,
steamed down the Yukon from White
Horse to st. Michaels and, with dog
team and snow shoe, tramped over 1900
miles of frozen river and snowy forest
in the Yukon Basin. The Bishop, it
will be remembered, went over the Chill
coot pass in the days of the rush when
man had to whip saw his lumber and
build his own boat, and can be consid-
cred an old timer as far as the Yukon
is concerned. To talk with him one
would think that visiting the polar re-
gions or mushing with dog teams when
the mercury was from 40 to 70 below
was a commonplace occurrence and
quite within the ordinary.
Capt. Nixon of the steamer North
Star who has just returned from trip
up the Koyukuk, tells the Dawson
News that he thinks there is not an idle
man in the country of the 500 there.
Certainly they do not have to remain
idle when claim owners have the creek
stations placarded with Men Wanted
notices. Men are buying and selling
with dust from the creeks just as in the
early days of the Klondike. am 60
ing back with supplies as soon as can
make the turn. People must do their
own thinking and exercise their own
judgment, but for my part am assur-
ed that the Koyukuk is great country.
The trouble heretofore seems to have
been that the prospectors worked too
far down the river. The work done
there now is nearly all at the head. You
can look for big things from there be-
fore the end Of the season, though |
find the men do not get excited and
talk as much over few thousand dol
lars as was the case here in 1896.

L. A. Harrison writes from Atlin to
friend in Skagway, that he is taking $50
day from his claim on Boulder creek.
A number of bench claims along the
creek have been staked, sold and re-
sold. Mr.. Harrison is among the inves-
tors in these claims. A number OF
them are being worked and are paying
we'll.
According to the Ketchikan Mining
Journal j. r. Beegle is mad all over
simply because the ravens are carrying
off his young chickens in the early
hours of the morning. He threatens
dire vengeance on the animals if they
persist in their thievery. He says Eli
iah was onto his job when he hired
them to provide him with provender.
A gentleman doing business in
Steamboat Row declares there will be "a
cut in fares before many days, and he
believes the order is liable to come with
any mail, says the Skagway Guide.
He says when the cut comes you will be
able to 90 from Skagway to Seattle for
s5. first-class. If that is the case it
would pay to wait for the clash and
save $50 on the round trip.
The strike on Glenn Gulch, tribu-
tary to Baker City on the Tanana side,
beats anything found on the lower
river. Three or four feet of gravel and
as much muck is above the bed rock.
The gravel is all pay and runs at an
average of about 81 to the pan, and $3.50
was taken out of>the only hole so far
put down. 1t is all fine gold. The
hole was six feet square at the bottom.
Miners on Clear creek working in a
shaft at depth of 80 feet, recently dis
covered the almost complete skeleton
of mastadon, says the White Horse
Star. The skeleton is not fossilized,
but is in a fine state of preservation.
The bones were taken out and passed
through here the fore part of the week
en- route to Seattle. One of the tusks
measured II feet in length and weighed
215 pounds. Tufts of hair of this pre-
! historic monster were also found while
excavating.
Bishop Rowe says that on one of his
trips last winter white man was found
all alone who early in the winter had
frozen his feet badly. For weeks he
crawled about in the intense cold get
ting fuel and cooking his food. He
managed to amputate two toes with a
lack knife and the wounds were still
unhealed when he was found. With
the aid from the Bishops medicine
chest and the kindly care bestowed up
on him he was left in comparative COM
fort and hope.
The Star says that Mr.. JAS. Hume,
who formerly run the Dawson hotel,
Bennett, has torn down the building
and is shipping the corrugated iron OF
which it was constructed, together
with part of the furniture, to the Big
Salmon, where he and his partners in
tend to open first class hotel. The
new hotel will be located at the forks
of the trail about one mile before reach
I ing Livingstone creek. Both James
and Eli Hume are we'll and favorably
known as firstclass hotel men. Fred
Walker and Mr.. McCabe, ofthe Wilson
hotel, Victoria, are associated with
them in their Big Salmon business.
