In the history of mining AFFAIRS we
recount the influences and effects of
mining deals If this deal goes
through several others pending will
go; If 1t doesn't they all fall. And
this reminds us that 5000 sneep on
one of the ranges near Durango a
few years ago were stampeded by a
pie burr falling from one of the
trees of a forest. One sheep alarmed
all the rest became panic
stricken and in their flight 105 were
caught under a fallen tree on me
mountain side and tramplel to death
By the other hundreds. The rise and
fall or failure and success Of mining
camps too mucn depend on the same
Influences that stampede sheep. Up
in the Oro Fino where the Neglected
has been proven to be great gold mine
there are several deals waiting for
the Neglected deal to 60 through.
The merit of some of tne properties
whose real merit cannot be question
ed. Is not to cut so much figure az
the decision of the first one to take
hold. 1t takes time to make a mining
deal whether large or small. but the
Neglected is still n mine and there
are other surrounding proprties which

He reports that enough can be Sc

to the matter, and 1t is foregone
conclusion that Durango will take

WHEAT BLOCKADE
PARTLY BROKEN
AT WENATCHEE
C. & o. Steamboat Company Transfer
ing Ten Car Loads a Day and
Amount Stored in Warehouses Along
the River Is Gradually Decreasing

The G. and . boats are still haul
ing wheat down the river and the
blockade is partly broken as far as We
nachtee is concerned. The steamboat
company has an order for ten cars
which is usually filled by the Great
Northern. The steamboats, are gain
ing slightly on the grain that is piled
up at the warehouses ready for shj D.
ment Last month there were 300, :
600 bushels at the biggest station alone,
and no effort was made to count the
amount of grain at hand at the sma H.
er stopping places. At the present
time on careful esti mate by Mr..
Davies. there are 300, 900 bushels of
wheat OH the river banks between
Bridgeport and Wenatchee. Besides
this amount the farmers who ship
their wheat out of the country by the
river have at the very lcwest estimate
fully quarter of million bushels
held for the spring shipments.
An idea of the way wheat has been
shipped out of the Big Bend this year
may he gained from the quantity carri-
ed bv the river steamers. In August
106,, 900 bushels went down the river,
in September lib, 900 bushels, in Oct
ober 200. 600 bushels, in November.
IN spite Of the blockade, 100000
bushels were carried, and this month
20O,0 bushels to date have been
brought to Wenatchee.
T he steamer Pringle today made
her last trip to the Tramway for wheat
and will make bat two more to Oron6o
before being placed out of commission.
There are still immense quantities of
wi eat to be hauled but the water in
the liver has been so low that Manager
T. A. Davies believes it unsafe to 1un
the big boat any longer. For some
time the Pringle has been carrying
only half her usual load over the
rapids.
The Columbia and Chelan will re-
main on the passenger run all winter
and Mr.. Davies expects to give his
patrons fair service. Besides pass
engers the boats will carry a verv
little upbound freight and the mail.
Hardly any freight down rhe river
will be carried. The first of Feb
ruary the North Star will! be placed
in commission until high water.
The Wenatchee Milling Company
is shipping only two or three cars a
day from all its stations combined.
The buyers at the warehouses ar
buying less than 1-2O of tie regular
amount of grain as they have no way
to move it. The wheat out of doors
has been clesned up in fairly good
shape md the only placesYwhere grain
still remains in the open is at Quincy
ana EphIata. This is being taken
care of in good shape however. The
company has great dealssof wheat at
Bridgeport and Tramway which they
ale now moving down the river as fast
as possible. The latter stations are
te only ones that are giving trouble to
the company. At the others the wheat
has been we'll taken care of. Mr..
Gehr states that the market is higher
and muc= steadier since the blockade
has been lifted.

Tennessee, Indiana and Missouri were
shaken by an earthquake shortly after
IL o'clock last night, the most severe in
recent years. Messages from different
towns in those states say there We're

H.. as far south as Paducah, Ky. and
as far north as Springfield, III. While
the tremors lasted scarcely minute
they were distinct enough to awake
sleeping residents of the city and to
cause dogs to bark in alarm.
The shocks seemed to travel from east
to west There was but an infinite
small period between them, only sec
ond intervening between the first and
second spasms. and about three seconds
between the second and third, or final
shock.
Tie trembling of the earth was ac-
companied 10y a dull rumbing noise
