FLORENCE STRIKE 4 HUMMER
to the Ton-Stampede Is On.

More definite reports of the recent
gold strike at Florence increase rather
than diminish the Importance of the
find.
The strike was made near the mouth
Of Babboon gulch, a canyon which
alone yielded nearly $2O,OOO,00O in gold
dust to the pioneers of 1862. The ledge
is four feet wide, and so far as pene-
trated shows that decomposition has
prevailed. The ore is so soft that
blasting is unnecessary-it falls at the
blow of a pick.
The ledge has been traced by out
groupings for 5000 feet over the noun
tains, which dissipates the probability
of its being merely a pocket. A pan
of the rock, it is stated, was washed
without even being pounded in a NOR
tar, and the 20 pounds of rock yielded
1920 in gold, or at the rate of $4,000
ton.
The lucky men who own the claim
are o. L. Benson, ]. E. MOsher and
Harry Hinkson. Mr.. MOsher and Mr..
Benson have come out from the camp
with samples of the rock to have it
tested and determine how to treat it
so as to save all the values, while Mr.
Hinkson remains at the mine on guard.
Mr. Benson is a merchant and post
master at Florence, while the other
two men have prOspected near Flor
ence for years.

Farmers Facing a Big Loss Of Crops

AN APPEAL TO THE WATER

There is going to be a big loss of
crops in the lower end of the Yakima
The thing that has been feared for
years is now confronting the people,
namely, water fannie, and unless
the water users of the upper valley
practice the strictest economy and

calamity will follow 1t is not a ques-
ton of legal rights, but Of humanity
and broad charity.
w. H. Redman, the best known irri-
cation engineer and a water user in
the upper valley, has the following TO
say on the water shortage:
There is less water now flowing
through Union Gap than has ever been
known in the history of Yakima val
ley. In fact, so small is the discharge
of Yakima river at that point and be-
low tnaC many farmers stand TO lose
almost untold thousands of dollars if
some relief is not had within a few
days, but whose losses could be great
ly lessened by having just a little
water to tide them over for a week or
ten days
''There are many ditch companies
and water users in Yakima and Nat
ches valleys now taking more water
from these streams than their neces-
stiles require, and who could easily
spare portion, without damage to
themselves, to these suffering farmers
lower down the valley, many of them
diverting this extra amount unwilling
ly, who, if they were only aware of the
actual losses which are about to occur,
and which will occur if relief does not
come very soon, would surely and
with gladness cut down to actual re-
qurement in order to help their suf-
fering friends for short time

These plans were found some years
ago in a library in Philadelphia, and
delivered to the bureau of construction
and repair. They had evidently been
handed around from one to another
person as of no special value, even
in an historic way. The officers of to-
day say it probably never occurred to
the persons who possessed the plans
that there would ever be any use for
them in a construction way. The only
information now missing is concern
ing the figurehead of the ship. Upon
that point opinions differ, some of the
officers holding that the ship carried
merely a scroll, and others, that it was
an elaborate design There will be
considerable care taken to restore the
old Constitution as she was in her

But Clapp also had in his charge the

he finally got rid of that the Indian

that is always task. The Indian bill

that 1t belonged to them, though they

the property.
