\ dispatch from Katalla to the Cord0va North Star says that oil has commenced to flow from the lower well Of the Pacific Goal X oil company at the head of Katalia slough.

UNCLAIMED WEALTH FOR SOMEONE

The clerk of the court has on hand several hundred letters which have been returned 10 him by the postal authorities. as unclaimed mail.
 The letters consist for the most part of checks drawn by the federal authorities ill favor of witnesses, jurors and others, in payment for services rendered. and were dis patched 10 the last known postal addresses of those who were entitl- ed to receive them. Owing to the migratory character Of the popula- ton, especially that part of the population on the creeks, these checks remain unclaimed.

GOOD WORK ON CLEARY

Some very systematic mining is being done on the Webster lay. on 10 below Cleary. This ground is being worked in a very miuer-like manner by the laymcn and there is no doubt the very best returns will result
 The works consist of the main shalt and tunnels running round the boundaries of the lay. These connect with another tunnel run ming across the center of the ground The cars travel by gravity to the foot of the shaft, whence the dirt is sent to the surface by d to-whcel- barrow bucket, which makes a trip every minute.
 When the tunnels have been completed and they get face ali round the lay, the laymen will be able 10 deal with an immense amount Of dirt, and employ large force of men; because they will be able tO have men working in one part of the ground while the points are in another.
 The whole of the workings are lighted by electricity, and the shat and tunnels are well constructed and have every appearance of se- curity.
 The rintlc> in the sluice boxes are the most up-to- date possible and oL an improved pattern.
 Owing to the way the lay is be ing worked it k almost impossible tor the WorE to come to q stand sGll for any length of time, so it is expected that the groynd will be worked continuously from now on

THAT MAP

About nine weeks ago, a man who was interested i'll some Idita- rol option, prepared map of Flat creek and vi inity, showing the area ot the claims, the amount of work done and the value of pan niugs found on each. IsIt possible that this was the map used to boost the ner camp outside? It looks very much aS though somebody in teres,ed in Flat creek properties was responsible tor the misrepre- sentations contained in the map, and the person spoken o, was very much interested.

DIR. Edward S. Cowles, of Boston, who
has opened Offices in the American build

medicine, will neither deny nor affirm
the rumor that he is the same Doctor
Cowles who figured so prominently in
the recent Aud Robnett naval court-mar
tial in the Charlestown. Mass, navy
yard. When questioned he said that he
did not know Paymaster Percy Aud and
when PRESSED for reply to the question
whether he was the Doctor Cowles that
Paymaster Aud handled roughly said
that it was an easy matter for interested
persons to find out who he was.
Inquiry shows that Doctor Cowles has
recently been granted certificate to
parctice medicine in this state through
reciprocal relation that Vermont has
with the state of Virginia. He is grad
uate of the University of Virginia and
holds a certificate emitting him to prac-
tic in that state.
Doctor Cowles says that he intends to
give a serious Of lectures through north
eru New England this summer in add

sheep belong to the middle woods.
These are the mutton breeds sought

Dorset rams when developed will
weigh from 200 to $50 pounds. some
going q bit higher; ewes from 100 to
100 pounds. The wool is of good, fair
length and fiber of the crisp, strong
sort and at all times commands the
highest price.
Both the ewes and rams have horns,
the rams, OF course, much heavier,
stronger and larger. Whether on ac-
count of their horns the Dorsets are
less timid than other breeds | am not
prepared to say. Nevertheless it is
