Gold In Snake River.

Archie Fairbatn Is mixing exten.
sive prepAratiU tu work the bottom
Of Snake river for gold this season.
In the early part Of the year he took
his dredge boat down the river to
point near the Soda Springs ranch
about % miles north uf Huntington
and some time ago he started his Il st
work Of dredging the bottom for gold.
When his work commenced he dis
covered that some work was needed
on his engine aud also that some
means would have to be used to keep
the boat anchored out In the stream.
He had the necessary repairs made
and has stationed the boat by means
OF heavy timbers driven into the
river bed.
In the event that the dredging pro-
cess does not save d large enough per
cent Of the product he will have IA
large sectional caisson made and will
work 10 it. The point Of great, st
profit is said to be the cracks ia the
bed rock. These have retained the
collection Of ages aud the caisson
process would enable the workers to
clean these cut.

will be supplied with air. 1t is

FOSSIL FORESTS OF
YELLOWSTONE PARK

In the Yellowstone National Park
twelve successive forests, one on top
Of another, have been buried by over
flows Of laYa, and petrifed, according
to pamphlet entitled Fossil Forests
of the Yellowstone National Park"
by F. H. Knowlton. just issued by
direction Of Secretary Lane. while
these fossil forests were growing and
being entombed,' says Mr.. Knowl-
ton, much Of the area now within
the park was the scene of tremend-
Gus geologic activities. There were
many active volcanoes just east, north
and west of the park, and some in
the park itself. From these volcan-
oes vast quantities Of material were
poured out, building up in places
whole mountain ranges. Within the
park there is evidence of similar
volcanic activity. The area within
which the fossil forests are now found
was apparently in the beginning an
irregular but relatively flat basin, on
the floor Of which after time there
grew the first forest. Then there
came from some of the volcanoes,
probably those to the north, an out
pouring of ashes, mud foes, and
other material which entirely buried
the forest, but so gradually that the
trees we're simply submerged by the
incoming material, few of them being
prostrated. On the raised floor ol
the basin, after a time, the next forest
came into existence, only to be in
turn engulfed as the first had been,
and so on through the period repre-
sented by the 1000 feet or more Of
similar beds. The whole history oi
the manner in which these forests
were fossilized is not fully understood
but, it was undoubtedly dependent
on or at least greatly facilitated by
the presence of volcanic and hydro
thermal activity, which was doubt
less then, as it is to some extent now,

FROM OTTAWA
DAILY REPUBLIC

Hon. Frank L. Britton of Usage
City, who made the race for Lieu
tenant Governor on the Democrat
ic ticket last year and came with
in 5000 votes of being elected, has
decided that he will again seek
the Democratic nomination for
the same office this year. II is
not probable that he will have
serious opposition. Mr.. Britton
came to Usage county with his
widowed mother in the early part
of 1877, and grew to manhood in
that county. He taught school
for a number of years and then
became a travelling salesman, in
which capacity he has gone up
and down through the state con-
stantIy during the past fifteen
years. His acquaintance is wide
and favorable. He is a reliable
trustworthy young man in every
respect, and his ability to fill the
office of Lieutenant Governor
creditably cannot be questioned
In recognition of his fitness fol
the place, and the splendid race
he made two years ago under ad.
verse conditions, the Republic
believes that the Democrats Of
Kansas will select him as theiI
standard bearer this year, anC
that his success at the polls i.
practically assured. Mr.. Brittor
has many friends in Ottawa anC
Franklin county, and this county
will no doubt give him splen
