falls of the Yellowstone, passing the
beautiful Virginia Cascade and the
Knotted Forest. We reached there
at o'clock p. m. and spent the ev-
ening viewing the falls and the can
yon. 1t is the most beautiful thing
I have ever seen. The river, wild
raging torrent runs between rocky
walls and plunges over for a
straight fall of $50 feet. dashing it
self on the rocks below and filling
the air with spray and foam for a
100 feet above. After viewing this
we climbed 500 steps to the can
yon wall above and spent some time
looking at the canyon and falls from
different points. The canyon Is from
1900 to $500 feet above the river
and grand canyon 1t is, well nam
ed. The colors are from a light vel
low to red and / do not think any
painter could do it justice. We saw
| small black bear and brown
bear there. They were very tame.
Next morning we looked at the up
per falls. They were fine but not
| to be compared with the lower.
Further up Yellowstone river, we
came to Hayden Valley. Here we
saw thousands of elk. We caught
three young elk along the road, pet
ted them for a few minutes and turn
ed them loose: We coul often get
within thirty or forty yards of them.
We passed the mud geysers, which
are filled with boiling, churning
mud, and made Yellowstone lake
for dinner. There he found very
large and fine hotel, also pleasure
boats of all kinds. That night we
made the fishery at the Thumb. We
are now located across the lake, in
perfect wilderness, from which we
can see the geysers playing. Fish
could catch hundreds day as they
run up the streams from the lake to
spawn. Fishing is so easy it is nc
sport. They weigh from one to two
pounds. In the upper basin, TWEEN
ty miles away, it looks like forest
fire, when the Giant Geyser plays
1t shoots a stream of hot water 25C
feet into the air. We can see the
tops of the Great Teton Mountain!
in the distance. We see bear in oul

ways successful, but in regions
where the placers have contained
large nuggets the result is very apt
to be favorable. California Is clas
sic example in the United States.
There the mother lode mines have
been worked to unusual depths,
showing that the assuring had been
profound and the enrichment very
extended.
Gold placer minig, by crude meth
ods, is spoken of as a pioneer in
dustry of the gold country. The
first discoveries are apt to be made
in the streams, and for long period
the operations of the gold hunters
are confined to this form of mining.
In time the streams are worked over
to such an extent that the business
loses it's flavor and while placer
ming is never suspended, but Is
likely to continue under more ef-
fcient methods, the search for gold
in it's original position in the rocks
becomes more and more the prevail
ing practise.
That the change sometimes re-
quires a great many years is again
illustrated by the case Of Alaska,
where the placer regions of the far
north are still practically tho only
source Of the yellow metal. It is
reasonable to suppose, however, that
weIl-directed effort in lode mining
will produce results corresponding
in some measure to those that nave
have been reports of gigantic dikes
bearing quartz gold deposits in the
| northern region, and serious atten-
tion is being given them. The diff
culties of working them will, OF
course, be great, just as the most
| efficient methods of placer mining
| in Alaska and the Klondike are be-
set with obstacles that make the pro
duction more expensive than II
would be in the temperate zone
But, with the increase in population
the construction Of railroads, which
has already started in the southern
part of the province, and the gener'
al establishment of large commune
ties, the most of the hardship will
| be overcome. Indeed, 1t may be
supposed that the operation OF
lode mine will be free from the prc
blems, incident to the long and cold
winters, that confront the hydraulic
and dredging concerns. Once
gold lode mine has been established
with an ample camp and the conver
fences of living, work under grount
in itself will not prove much differ
ent from underground work in the
States"
The references here are, of course
to the northern placer regions. Lode
mining is now carried on in thu
south. Indeed, near juneau, on'
finds a series of gold mines, contain
ing vast deposits of low-grade ores
that rank among the first producer
Of the world.

Dies of Complication
of Diseases TUESDAY,

Fred j. Cross died of a complication
Of diseases at his home in keystone on
Tuesday, aged II years. His death
marks the passing of an unique char
acter as well as a pioneer of the Hills.
He was born in Pennsylvania, and
several years later moved to Freeport,
ILL.,, where he resided for sometime
and where his wife and three daugh-
tiers died of black diphtheria in week.
From there he went to Sioux City,
then Sioux Fall. He was commission
er Of immigrtion for Dakata territory
in 1872, making his home in Clay
county. In 1877 he moved to the
Black Hills, settling first at Hayward
then at Keystone the following year.
He was elected to the legislature in
1879 and 1861, and was for two terms
commissioner for Pennington county.
He was ever of rather eccentric
turn Of mind and while holding the
commissionership he made his trips
from Keystone to Rapid City on foot,
making the distance in remarkably
short time. He looked with care to
the interests of the county and saw
that the funds were wisely expended.
His record for honesty was of the Abe
Lincoln sort.
He settled on mining claim at
keystone which he has held ever since,
and one which he believed to be valu.
able. On this account he held it at
higher valuation than others could
see in it. But the difference of opinion
did not trouble him, for he died with
the property in his name and the
mineral resources little developed.
He had been in failing health for sew
eral years, and at the time of death
was being cared for by a neice who
had had him move from his rude pio-
neer cabin to rooms in the town OF
Keystone. For years he lived alone
in his cabin which was filled with
minerals taken from his claim at diff.
erent times.

RACING, BETTING
AND BOXING FOR
n. y, IS REPORT
Bills Legalizing 20 Round
Bounts and More Free
dom on Turf Planned.

New York. Nov. 16.-From sources
that are close to the new political pow
ers it has been learned that boxing and
horse racing may flourish once more
in the state OF New York Rumors
have wendell their way Unto Gotham
that the Agnew Hart and Agnew- Per-
kins anti-racing bills are to be re-
pealed and that when the New York
state legislature convenes at Albany
a bill will be introduced legalizing
public boxing exhibitions of twenty
rounds duration before incorporated
athletic clubs.
This turn of affairs in New York
sporting fields makes prospects for the
next racing season bright.
The framrrs of the boxing bill be-
lieve that ubs should pay high license
fees, al least $1,000 annually. with a
percentage of the net receipts to be col
lected as a state tax, the money thus
realized to be turned over to the states
charitable institutions.
The renewal of racing in the Empire
state would be a great thing financially
all around, so it is claimed, and the
property which has been allowed to
retrogade would once more become
valuable.
However, the men back of 1t all will
be very careful in their venture. They
promise that no one who has black
mark on his name will be connected
with either of the branches of sport.
Boxing and horse racing met their
| death here only because the promoters
who were reaping the harvest resorted

were unfair tactics to the public
