PADDY SKY,
Alas Patrick Lynch, Recently Mur-

Lynch told Us or th., gold that was in the great Bear Paw mountain near MIX river. The Bentonites raised large purse and we got an expedition of ten men to go and prospect for gold. l was in the party. Paddy Sky was a hard drinker and in his sprees he was a reckless man. We found very little gold and returned. Tom Powers, then d merchant in Benton, since senator, was a great friend Of Paddy's, and 1t was said that Paddy kept large amount of money in the store safe. .
 In the winter of 1873 l met Mr.. Lynch in Fort Garry in the Britis h possessions. He stunned me. At that time I could not understand, but after he was gone I saw the account of his killing a miner in Bozeman. He called the man to the door and shot him. As the man dropped. he said !; Paddy Sky has killed me-" l have never seen him since, but five years ago when I was in Wilcox met an old army officer whom l secuted for-Capt. Nicholson. The captain told me ot Paddy Sky, or Paddy Lynch, having a cattle ranch in the Aravaipa Canyon, and said he always put up at his place. heard to day by an old miner that Patrick Lynch was fugitive from England, but as for that l cannot say, only know that most all bad men come to judgment at last. c.

 The Illinois Copper Co.,, operating the White Cap near Wickensburg, found number of pockets oi molybdenite in the shaft just being started. Some of the pieces taken out are as large as a goose egg and in some places in the ledge matter, the moly- bdenite is plentifully distributed through it.

Near Sir:-I understand that you had clipping in your paper recently from the Copper Era" to the effect that GoverI0r BrOdie had issued a proclamation qtarantining against the admission into Arrona of cattle from Oklahoma and Texas and Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico. My Myattention has been called to this two or trree times by cattlemen and l wish to iniIrm you for the good of the stock inte,ests that no such proclamation has beer issued, nor has any restriction been placed on the admission Of Mexican cattle into Arizona other than that en- forced by the United States Bureau of Animal Industry.
 Governor Otero of New Mexico Ter ritory has issued proclamation quar- antining against the admission Of cat tie into that Territory from all DOT tions of Oklahoma, Texas, and the states Of Chihuahua and Sonora, Mex leo, except upon special inspection of a representative of the Sanitary Board Of New Mexico in addition to the iu- spection made by the Bureau of Ani- maj Industry. This proclamation may have led to the mistake above referred to-

California takes the lead in dredg- ing for gold, and has the largest field of this kind in the world on Feather river. There are over 20 square miles of gravel paying handsome profits on money invested. The fertility Of the land was spoiled by placer mining operators who worked from the surface to water level 20 years ago. Then fol- lowed long spell of inactivity, broken by the modern gold dredger, and this barren gravel deposit rose in value from Sn per acre to $500 per acre in four years time. At present there are dredgers in operation with 8 capacity of from 5000 To 1000 yards per day. Prospect.

about, and that meant ruin to Hawaii.
But small concession, say 10 per cent,
would not be opposed by Hawaii.
The Republican members of the ways
and means committee are beginning to
line up for the fight over Cuban reci-
procity. Representative Mccall is the
first to openly declare himself in favor
of reciprocity. He made the follow
ing statement today as to his position:
Our beet sugar industry is a growing
one, and should not be injured, but it
seems clear that it would not be affect
ed at all by moderate reduction in
the duties on Cuban sugars. So long
as we import, in addition to Cuba's
crop, great mass of sugar, paying the
full duty, raw Cuban sugar in New
York will bring the foreign or Ham
burg price, with freight and full duty
added. The full benefit of a moderate
reduction would inure to the Cuban
producers. The success of the little
republic is highly important to our
selves. 1t will mark the noblest results
of the war with Spain, and also aid us
to solve righteously our insular prob
lens in another part of the world"

EGYPTIAN TOMBS
.G!VE UP JEWELS
Great Results Achieved by the
University of California
Expedition.

! BERKELEY, January 21.-Mort
: treasures have been taken from the
graves of Egypt's ancient dead by the
explorers of the University of Califor-
MIA who are now engaged in exploring
a number of cemeteries in the land oil
the Pharoahs. DR.. George A. Reisner
who is in charge of the work, reports
that he has taken a necklace of gold
beryl and carnelian beads from the
coffin of a lady of early Egyptian times
In another grave which the university
diggers broke into, was found a second
gold necklace, and in the collins of 9TH
err old-time Egyptians were found six
gold ornaments, including models of a
lion, two birds, an eye, and Of two
bees, beautifully wrought. Among
many other finds were painted cot
fin, a bronze spearhead on its original
shaft, six small but fine alabaster
vases, an alabaster headrest, two
wooden headrests, a wooden chair with
part of the woven seat still preserved.
a wooden mace decorated with bits of
straw to initiate gold and with de-
signs in red and black, a large and
beautiful scarab, or image of the sa-
cred beetle, many pots and other small
objects The University's diggers have
found a number of tombs of an unus-
uaI style of construction. Among the
most valuable finds of the first two
weeks of December We're eight grave
stones from the tombs of individuals
who lived in the years from the sixth
to the eighteenth dynasties, thousands
of years before Christ. One of these
gravestones records that the de-
ceased was the favorite of his father
the frstbOrn of his mother, and the be-
loved of his brothers and sisters" OF
the others one is carved from lime
stones and another is of painted stone,
so wonderfully preserved that the
painting looks as if done week ago.
The collections so far made by DR..
Reisner and his diggers illustrate the
ancient Egyptian civilization from pre-
historic ages to the twelfth dynasty of
kings. or almost to the time when the
Israelites went into Egypt, which is
supposed to have been about 1850 B. c.
From the thirteenth to the seventeenth
dynasties, 2190 B. c. to 1880 3. c., the
University has found ne specimens, but
from that time on through to the TWEEN
ty-sixth dynasty and throughout the
Graeco-Roman period, Egyptian life is
we'll represented in the collections. DR..
Reisner hopes to excayate later some
site which will yield matter illustrative
of the period from the twelfth to the
seventeenth dynasties. the only gap
now remaining in the University's col
lections. The volume containing the
Hearst papyrus, which viii be the first
of the publications of the expedition, is
soon to come from Leipzig press.

TO TELL ABOUT
ISLAND LANDS
Commissioner E.S Boyd Goes to
Washington to Advise
- Congress.

Territorial Land Commissioner E. S.
Boyd OF Hawaii arrived in this city
yesterday, and is a guest of the Occi-
dental Hotel. Mr. Boyd is on his way
, TO Washington, D. c., where he is sent
by order of the Territorial government
/ to present to Congress the views of
that government in relation to the pro-
posed land laws for Hawaii. Delegate
Wilcox has introduced bill which, is
regarded by Governor Dole and the
heads of departments as Objectionable.
Mr.. Boyd will make a strong effort to
defeat the measure.
When seen last night in reference to
his mission, Mr. Boyd said: Il am not
going to Washington in spirit of an
tagonism to the administration. In
fact, 1 am persuaded that the admin
istration has the welfare of the Hawaii
an Islands at heart in the most sincere.
manner, but 1 do not think that the
conditions are fully understood by the
United States Congress. The measure
proposed by Delegate Wilcox is, in a
modified sense, a copy of the United
States homestead law. This law has
unquestionably been of great good to
the United States, but We who know
the conditions in those Islands know
that such a law could not be other
wise than detrimental to them. The
provisions of the measure are too liber-
al: they are on too great scale. our
territory is limited, our forests and
water supplies must be carefully pro-
tected and nursed. We cannot be too
liberal. do not go to antagonize Con-
gress or the administration, but to
point out the errors of the proposed
law as we see them. What L hope to
do is to persuade Congress to appoint
a committee of fair-minded men to Wis

tiops there thOrouChlV before enacting
