NEW FREIGHT CONGESTION
 HAS SUDDENLY SPRUNG
 UPON EASTERN sEA5oARo


 BALTIMORE. Feb. 16.-A new con- gestion of freight. apart from that d. rectly concerned with shortage of steamships for the movement of ex- port freightn. has developed on the eastern seaboard, particularly at the Gulf of Mexico ports. affecting large steamship lines that ply between Bos- ton. New York. Philadelphia and the southern ports. Tho two principle lines affected are the Southern Pa cifie Steamship Co.,. and the Atlantic Gulf & West Indies Co.,, the conges- ton being due principally to the fact that enormous output of copper, cot ton. sugar and other products from the South and Southwest, coupled with the Pacific Coast freight, is tax ing the facilities of those companies to an extent to which they have not been subjected to for year s. Both of the companies are rushing through arrangements to cope with the h. crease of business.

HAS TROUBLES OWING
 TO THE BIG WAR

That certain kinds of fine pencils and art bronze goods have been ma terially affected by the European war is the statement of c. E. Cartwright, who recently established the station cry and novelty store next door to the post office on Third street.
 In an interview with an Empire re- porter Mr. Cartwright said: Art bronze goods are almost off tho mar ket on account Of thewar. While this class of goods are not imported to any great extent. the most of the Ameri- can market is supplied from the Bos- ton factory of tho Cathodian Art Bronze Company and as this company has become engaged in the manufac- ture of war munitions 1t is almost i'm. possible for them to fll their orders.
 "I received a letter from the com pany not long ago in which they stat ed that if wished any orders of bronze lamps. book racks. trays, can dle sticks. or anything in their line would have to place the order at once or they would not guarantee delivery for the next Christmas trade.
 Pencils have been materially af- fected. some of the best grades being entirely off the market. It is impos- sible at present to buy either a Koh- i-Nor or a Castel pencil. Both of these are imported pencils of the very fin est grades and the American market has been entirely exhausted.
 These two lines are the only ones carry which have been effected as yet by the war. but l am expecting every day to hear that something else has either been exhausted or has been raised in price. Stationery, drawing goods of all kinds, magazines, books, inks. and other stationery lines are practically the same as before the war"

A FAC R HIN
 HERE

J. C. Hyde. owner of Hyde Park, on the Salmon Creek road, just north of Che city, has located Q placer claim lin the rear of his homestead and elev- en colors were obtained from one pan of surface dirt. The colors were found Sunday and MT. Hyde says the ground is located in such position that very little work will be neces- sary to demonstrate whether it is worth working or not and he will start work on the ground as soon as the weather permits. According to the statement of Mir. Hyde the ground is between 200 and 300 feet in width and about quarter of @ mile long. The depth of the dirt is not known yet.
 The ground is located between the foot of the west end of Nit. Juneau and lip of rock which cuts across the country in the rear Of the Hyde place.
 While sliding wood down the side of the mountain the sticks wore the dirt away from the rim of bed rock and suspicious entered the mind of Mr. Hyde that the bed of an old stream cut across the formation at that point He investigated and found that Q sort of pocket had been formed at this place and filled with sand and gravel, either by the old stream, or else by glacial slides from the mountain itsef. A pan full of dirt was taken from the surface about the middle of the de- posit and banned and the colors were obtained.
 Today Mir. Hyde stated: "l don't know whether there is anything there or not. It is just @ large pocket at the best and there is no extensive body of ground but as soon as the weather permits am going to open the ground and see. Colors from the surface indicate gold and there Is no reason to believe that the pocket is not worth working.
 'It is a well known fact that there is gold ore in Mt. Juneau and if stream cut across this point, as the formation indicates. or if the dirt has been deposited by glacial slides from the mountain 1t may be rich. can start on the outcrop of bed rock on the lower side and follow the bed rock along with an open cut and within a few days ] can tell whether it will pay to continue work or not. have not said much about my find because l don't know yet whether have any thing worth talking about or not I will know soon."
 Hyde Park is located between the Salmon Creek road and the foot of Nit. Juneau and adioins the Sheldon homestead to the north of 1t and the Price homestead lies just north. From the indications Mir. HyUe thinks the deposit of gravel and sand extends clear across his property and one end is on each of these homesteads ~
