The Provisional government is going to assiat the Fra'er river bridge projnet to the extent of (2,5(H), payable in live equal annual installments. Tbls will materially help the Northern Pacific rail road extension project. The Mining and Developing Company haa purchased the Gold Bar mines and Gold Bar west extension in the Vander bilt mining district in Ban Bernard'no county for $5Hft)0. The same mines were recently k11 for $40,000. . The Bradstreet mercantile agency re ports thirteen (allures in the Pacific Coast States and Territories for the past week, as compared with thirty-one for the previous week and fourteen for the corresponding week of 18U2.

A farmer living five miles from Sacra- nento baa Informed the police of that tlty that a few days ago three awindlera uncoed him out of 13,000 by the gold wick txlck. When he drew the money or them and got home he found instead I a gold brick a box of scrap Iron. At Virginia City a draft of thirty-five men was made from the force employed in the Bavage mine and a draft of ten (rom the Belcher. The draft will result in the auapenaion of ore extraction from more mines, wuicn nave ueen ionuy producing about 4,000 tons monthly. . The anenta of California railroad lines In seasion at Santa Barbara have agreed to adopt to California terminal points only practically the same rates as have been put in force to North l'aollio Coast points by the northern lines from Chi cago and points West. The new tariff is to go into eueci a do in apru i. Gilliam county, Or., citizens have pe titioned the County Court to grant a bounty on dead sand rats. The little vermin have had a good Winter and will soon come out of their holes in the pink of condition to ravage tiie growing grain. The farmers say, unless something is done soon to check this peat, they will be run out. , The United Btatea Commissioners are In camp twenty-two miles north of Opn elo, Mendocino county, Cal., in what is known a Kit Oarson'a cabin, which was built in 1803 by Frank Asbell, a famous trapper of those days. The report is current that the Commissioners will place on the market half of the Round Valley Indian reservation, 08,100 acres, at from $1.25 to $4 an acre. . A prospector haa reached Phoenix, A. T., from the deaert beyond Harqua Uala, bringing specimens of free gold-hearing rock that runs $30 to the pound, lie will say little except that, finding water plenty on the desert by reason of the re cent storms, he penetrated a hitherto unexplored country and dl -covered the quarts in large bodies. Several heavy capitalists started off with the miner within a few hours for the mines, which are about one hundred miles from Fboanix. During the past two years 3R,000 worth of gold has been taken out of the Annie mine in the Bohemia district. The mine has been worked at ahort In tervals during this time, and moat of the gold haa been taken out the paat year. Everything points to a lively mining aeason In that region thla summer. One mill is now running, and another will be started as soon aa possible In the apring. frniw has not stopped work in the mines this winter, and a number of men have been working there all winter. I. W. Miller, the Union connty child hunter, has at last abandoned his search, and Is returning to hla home in Bummer vllle. He haa traveled 8,000 milea by railroad and long distances on horseback In Oregon, Washington and Idaho in search of his lost daughter, lie Is now ready to pay a ransom of tl,200 to the gypsies, If they have her, for the return of the girl to his home in Bummerville. Mr. Miller lately visited the Yakima country to see the child living with the Indians there on Bellis creek, but found that she is not hia daughter. The little girl resembles a pure-blood white child very mtieh in appearance, but haa some Indian blood in her veins and evidently belongs to the tribe with whom she la living. NATIONAL CAPITAL. Clerks and Some Other Employes In the Bureau of Engraving and Print ing Out of Luck. - The President has accepted the resig nation of Governor N. M. Btone of Iowa, Couimisaioner of the general land office. Attorney-General Olney has appointed Frank Htrongof Arkansas General Agent of the Department of Justice, vice K C. Foster resigned. The Supreme Court has affirmed the Judgment of the Court of Claims, dis minaing the petition of the State of In diana to recover from the United States over $M)0.000 aa 6 p cent of the sales of public lauds in Indiana. ' Authority baa been given by President Cleveland to Secretary Gresbam to ex change with Minister Grip certificates of the ratification of the extradition treaty between the United States and Sweden, recently ratified by the Senate. The results of the rifle, carbine and revolver firing of the army for the target year of 1H02 received by the Adjutant shows that Company G of the Seventh Infantry, stationed at Pilot Butte. Wyo., made the highest general figure of merit. Active preparations are about to be begun by Secretary Smith for the open ing of the Cherokee Btrip under the pro- , viKion ol the Indian appropriations act j ratifying the agreement with the Obero ' kees. The preliminaries, however, will consume considerable time. I A hint of Cleveland's policy of build ing up a new party is given. Following the selection of Judge Urea ham for the Cabinet, it ia said, he is going to appeal . to the sentimental Republicans by keep 1 lug Minister Lincoln at London and Minister Fred Grant at Vienna. Postmaster-General Biasell states that whenever there is a contest for any poet olllce the person who held the office un der President Cleveland's former admin istration is not to be considered. He further states the full power of this rule will be applied to fourth-class poetotfices, and that he, and not the President, is responsible for it. I Secretary Carlisle haa issued new reg ulations regarding precautions to be ob served in admitting immigrants to the United States. The regulations contain seventeen articles. The first ten are substantially the same aa are now in force. Articles 11 to 16 inclusive are practically new, and are made to con form to the new laws effecting immigra tion passed by the last Congress and ap proved March 3. The Treasury Department continues to receive odors of gold from tue West in exchange for small notes, for which there is at present an increasing demand. Feveral offers had to be temporarily de clined, as it was found the gold was of light weight, and until those who offered It made up the deficiency in weight the government could n t accept it. In this connection it is interesting to note that the government require absolute ac curacy before it will receipt for light we glit ooin. President Cleveland haa decided upon a line of policy to be pursued in the ap pointment of Consuls, which is expected to materially expand the trade of the United Hates with foreign countries, and especially with the South American and Central American republics. Hia policy ia to select men for Consuls wbo have exceptional business qualifications and possess sufficient trade instinct to recognise an outlet for American mer chandise, and ability to aid in working op a market for the product of American manufacturers and farms. The Presi dent said, of course, political reasons eannot be entirely ignored in the selec tion of Consuls, but particular stress will be laid upon the business abilities of the men whose names are presented to him. Several people who have known how long Cleveland is obliged to stand on bis feet during the many hours he is re ceiving people, have wondered how it was that he was able to keep up. He comes down into the east room and shakes bands with thousands of people, standing on his feet for an hour or half an hour, as the case may be. In bia private office he feela the necessity of arialng to bia feet when he receives visit ors who are distinguished enough to be admitted to a private interview. It Is found, however, that the President has a great scheme. His desk is low enough to adroit his sitting upon it in an ap- f arent attitude of standing, and it is here he sits, with his feet on the floor and his weight reeling on the desk, and hakes hands and chat with the visitors who are admitted. It haa been re marked by several persons that be does not move around very much, but nobody knows better than Mr. Cleveland him self why he does not move around. He ia scheming all the while to save himself, and thla attitude he finds-very comfort able. It is probable the clerka and some other employes in the bureau of engrav ing and printing not directly employed in the produotion of greenbacks and other government obligations will have to take certificates of indebtedness in stead of cash for their salaries for the remainder of the fiscal year. This Is the result of an error in the enrollment of the deficiency bill, by which the word ' thousand " was left off after the appro priation intended to be $37,000 for defi ciency in. the pay of clerical and other help at the bureau of engraving and printing. It is presumed the employes will not be dropped from the rolls for the remainder of thia fiscal year, aa they are neoesaary to the working of the bureau. It is likely this will be considered a case wherein the government officers are au thorized to create an indebtedness under the statute providing that "no govern ment officer shall incur indebtedneas for the government except to save life and property." It may be held the employ ment of these clerks is necessary to save " property." The clerka will then be given certificates stating tbey have ren dered service to the value named, and these they will probably be able to get discounted tor a consideration by local money lenders. Several other errors in enrollment have been discovered. In the pension appropiation bill an appro priation of $306,000 was Intended for fees of examining surgeons. In enrolling the word " five " was left out, so that the item reads " three hundred thousand dollars." A deficiency of $6,000 from the proper amount will not be serious in view of the smallness of the amount and of the fact that it was made on estimates which in any event may be too large or too small, and which can be remedied next sesaion before the moner actually appropriated ia exhausted. These are but a few of the errors committed In the enrollment of appropriation bills, and others are expected to come to light very day. EASTERN ITEMS. Anti-Lynching Leagues Being Formed in Texas.
