RETURNED FROM ALASKA
Geo. ID. Villa ms Has Valuable
Property on Tanana.

Geo. ID. Williams las rejoined his
family in this city, after an absence
Of several years in Alaska, where he
has been prospecting and mining.
The latter portion Of the time he has
spent in the new gold fields of the
Tanana, whore lie has valuable
property. The Tanana is large
tribDtary Of the Yukon, coming in
some 700 miles below Dawson. The
gold fields are located some 250 miles
up the Tanana from the mouth. Al
yet the operations are all in placer
and the method Of working is some
what slow. Some efforts have been
made to use hydraulic plants but as
yet without success The principal
tronale has been with the bitches
The country is covered with moss and
below that is frozen muck. When the
ditch is dug the muck is exposed to
the air, thaws, and runs almost like
water. Mr.. Williams thinks hy-
draulios might bo proltably worked if
the water were carried in fumes or
pipes.
In midsummer on the Tanana they
have 23 hours Of sunshine and the sun
rises and sets in the north. Provis.
ions average about 81 pound Flour
this year is $35 per hundred. Last
year it was $50.
Mr.. Williams will probably re main
in Southern Oregon, unless he finds it
necessary to return in order to look
after his property.

HOW DOES A MINE LOOK
You Cannot Decide Before You
Find II.

The prospector who starts out ON
his quest for a mine with fixed idea
Of how his mine must look is likely
to be disappointed. The secret Of
successful prospecting lies in casting
aside all preconceivedi notions and to
overlook nothing. A few years ago
no prospector believed that gold or
silver ore would be found in a dixie.
Now it is known that many dikes
carry valuable ores Of gold, silver and
copper. Many still think that il is
useless to look in limestone for a gold
mine. The fact is there are numerous
valuable gold mines in limestone,
and not infreqnently limestone or
marble contain paying gold. That
any particular formation or combina-
tion Of formations il necessary to
the occurrence Of good ore is another
fallacy. The old miners expression
"gold is where you find it" is a
truism that no prospector can afford
to forget AS rule large white
quartz groupings do not carry payable
values, though there are importan
exceptions. One of the best indica-
tions Of permanent and valuable
vein is soft. decomposed and
mineral-stained country rock along
the course of the VEN, no matter
what the character Of the rock. The
outcrop accompanying veins, large
and small, which become great pro.
ducers of gold, silver. copper. lead
and other minerals, usually shows ex-
tensive naturalization Of the country
rock along the course of the vein,
and generally the rock has become
softened by the decomposition which
has taken place at and near the sur.
face The Characteristic features are
brown or red iron oxides, soft ground,
and honoycombed quartz. Green
stones (diorite, diabase, ETC.. are
altered to soft yellowish brown rock
which can be easily picked. Black
states are bleached nearly white or
light yellow, sometimes are stained
brown or even red. aud are soft and
easily picked. Schists become brown
or red. Andesites often show kaolini.
zation as we'll as stains Of | on oxide.
Black oxide of manganese and iron
oxides are the most common signs Of
the vein proper, as we'll as the masses
OF ferruginous quartz. The prospector
should be able to recognize an outcrop
when be sees one, but such is not
always the case. In one instance two
men, who discovered valuable mine,
we're placer mining below it, and sat
on the outcrop Of their vein to eat
their lunch for several weeks before
discovering that the rock was rich in
gold. Mining and Scientific Press.

ooratic national convention. No
money plank had been inserted in the
democratic platform, its omission
boing made in the interests of har-
mony, as the two wings Of the party
differ SO widely ON this question chat
a declaration in favor of tho gold

likelihood cause split in the party
ranks. The convention, after some
debate, sent telegram to Parker
saying that, as the platform was silent
ON the subject, there was no good
reason why gold standard man

West Richmond and Fairview Cars
Meet on a Curve.

Last night about 1880 O'Clock a
Fairview car, headed toward Main

ing north on north fifth street, came
together with sufficient force to
splinter the platform of the West
Richmond car.
There were several persons on the
West Richmond car. Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Gates were on the car and
Mrs Gates was badly frightened. An
other lady, whose name we did not
learn, was considerably shaken up on
account of being thrown against the
door of the car.
The Fairview car was not damaged
to any great extent, and passengers
on the wrecked car were transferred
to it.
This is a very bad corner, and mo-
tormen ought to be very careful IN
rounding it. Some one was surely
careless in this case.
