SILVER GALORE.
Col. Ed. n. Miller and Party on Their
 Way to the San Carlos Mines.

After spending one day in the city on business, Col. l. l. fl. Miller, c. A. Miller, his son, and Mr. Cyrus Grant, of Los Angeles, left w ednesday night for Hermo. lilo, from which place they will go to the san Carlos mliie' The company recently purchns sed q twenty ton plant which the colonel hopes to have installed early in January, next The properties owned by the San Car los Mining Company consist of four gold mines and the famous La Fortu- na silver Aine, wonderful producer of the white metal. Three late assays from this mine show ed an average of 12553 ounces of silver per ton. From one assay n vaiue of l3,OOO ounces was obtained.
 These great valu.s are found in fifty-one feet in shaft No. 1, a ssody of ore three feet wide has been developed that runs more than 1000 ounces per ton. Recently the company refused S25O, GOO. gold, for this property.
 A shelter Is now being installed about twenty seven miles from La Fortuna, which will buy the entire output, the mill being used exclusively for the treatment of the gold ores from the other properties
 Mir. Grant, q rnembe of Col. Millet,s party, who Is largely interested in the company. was at one time general SUI perintendent of the great Comstock of Nevada and later superintendent of the Bogdad mine of California He is therefore a mining man of many years practical experience. His faith in the San Carlos mines is unbounded md his judgment as to their merit is backed by his money. "
 The greater number of 'La Fortuna" mines discovered, the better for the | state of Souora and Nogales. the little ! queen city on the border. Coi. Miller, 1 TIE VIDETTE wishes you and your | company abundant success. !

marketing of sheep and lambs this week has been
comparatively liberal. indicating an increase of
$50 over last week. 1850 the same week a
year ago and decrease of 900 compared with
the corresponding week two years ago. Thus
far this year the receipts are 600 larger
than the same time last year. and for the month
thus far there is gain OF nearly 5000 COM
pared with the period last year The
market sheep and lambs this week has been
comparatively satisfactory because statesmen have
prevented any material change I'm prices, not
understanding the increased supplies The de-
mand has been very fair from all sources and
there was a little stronger competition from
shippers than last week. About the middle OF
the week values suffered a decline of nearly CSC,
but later in the week most OF this loss was re-
covered so far as the good grades were con-
cerned. In fact. closing sales OF the week for
the best sheep and lambs were practically the
same as at the close OF last week. There was
more discrimination against common stock and
under weight grades toward the close OF the
week and consequently they difficult

of last week The highest prices realized this
week were $5.T5 for lambs. $500 for yearlings
and 1915 for sheep. The receipts to-day were
quite small. in fact not large enough to invite
competition from all buyers and as usual on
Saturday the trading trife quiet but the

" the jocose idea of travel by glacier so
humorously exploited by Mark Twain in the
Alps Mount Tacoma is crowned with an
ice cap said to be the largest on this
hemisphere, at least south of the arctic
circle From its frozen area vast and

and rapid descent take their origin. IL is
proposed to impound a part of this melted

develop electric currents, which can be
transmitted to the place OF their use for
trolley railways or for factories
For this purpose the first dam is building
at a point 1900 feet above the sea and
thirty-five miles from Tacoma. From this
dam, just below the junction OF the Now
ich and Puyallup rivers, the water will flow
eleven miles through a channel TO a reser-
voir. Thence the water will fall LOO feet,
through steel tubes, upon turbine wheels
The first four OF these wheels to be in
stalled will produce the estimated equiva-
lent of the power OF 10000 horses. Other
tubes and wheels can be added when there
IS a demand for more power. Ii Is caIeu-
lated that from this glacial source can be
derived power sufficient for all the indus
