Okanogan. - - : HIS BODY SURROUNDED BY GOLD. An Interesting Sketch of .at) Aban doned Quartz Mining Claim, v OOID IN IiEMAEKABLE KICIINESS. .-j Nothing to Indicate the Alan's Identity. No 'ne Left to Remember' the : ... . ' Incidents. i Spokane, Sept. 12. J. S. King, a well-known prospector and miner from Okanogan county, who arrived in this city Saturday, tells an interesting story of an abandoned mining claim which he is about to develop. ' To a Review inter viewer Mr. King said: "-"The shaft, or prospect hole, as I found it, is about 60 feet deep and it has been there longer than any prospector can remember. It was there when miners first went into that country and . began gopher-holing the hills. Nobody examined it because it was considered a worthless hole which had been abandoned by the man who located it. A few days ago I happened to pass the old shaft, and curiosity prompted me to look into it. After ex amining rock lying near the mouth of the bole I came to the conclusion -that perhaps it would pay to investigate it closer. Under a pile of ' rubbish, which I found was the remnants of an old shack, there were chunks of quartz that showed free gold of remarkable richness. Evidently the. quart bad been.' hidden away' from the prying gaze of men in order to prevent discovery of the rich ness of the vein.. -"My curiosity being thoroughly ar roused by what I saw,v I decidedto go into the shaft, and gee. just .what eort of a lead there was. ;, In. br,dertordQ. this I had. to secure a rope and a piece of : tini ber to.la"y,.accros8, the opening, the wind lnfs.wbich.had .formerly been -osed by the unknown" being .almost decayed by rot.,, Well,; down, into the. hole ,1 .went, and. what do. you suppose . I' found ? A human. akeietonrfying In, a half reclin ipg.paiiyQfl-agnet, he,wall... .Near by was a pick, a shovel wiJtbbua handle, a drill and l)amnier- T hp. ,mmer'8 cloth ing was fairly. well- preserved and clung to the bones as if the body had ait some time been submerged by water. It is my opinion that the dead man had been in the old shaft many years.. There was nothing to indicate the man's identity, nor do any of the old timers up there know anything about him. The old shaft has been there as long as anyone can remember and it has never been ex amined by anyone, as it has always been looked upon as a worthless prospect. "I am of a different opinion, though,'! pursued . Mr. King, as he -produced . piece of quartz weighing ..' abdut , four ounces. "This is a fair --specimen .of a three foot vein of quartz which looks to be permanent in .- the . old , abandoned mine. I don't mean to say that the en tire vein shows free gold jUBt like this, but there is a lot of it just as good and will run away up into the- thousands to the ton:' I have filed A claim on the old hole and shall begin work there at once. I might prospect for years and never find anything so rich . Mr. King jro popes to give the skeleton of the old pros pector christian burial, and if be . can find the relatives of the dead man would feel disposed to give them . an interest in tne striae. . . ... . . -. . , Want mu Available Market. The necessity for an eastern market for the excellent fiuits raised in the vicinity of Lewiston ia already beginning to be felt. The Teller says the local market is now suffering from an over supply. ' Yet the fruit industry is only inita infancy.. .Young orchards - are coming in yearly and the increased pro ducts will .soon be a drug on the market. it nas been estimated ' tnat tnere are fully 10,000 acres of fruit lands on the Snake, and Clearwater rivers and 'only 1,000 acres of this available land to how in cultivation. An outside market is then a necessity to the development of the fruit landa. v The. questions of mar ket and transportation are the ones yet to be solved,.. A Birth, treek,. fanner ,-is at present cutting his third crop of alfal fa bay from a fine piece of bottom land. The three crops will average about" five tons to the acre. . The; aHalf ia. rown on nnlrrigated land and is proving a very profitable crop.. . j - Last year the cannerymen of. Oregon paid into the hands of the eecretarv etato $2,500 as the fish tax imposed by an act of the last' legislature, this! sum being a fund for the protection .and pro-, motion of :the fishing, industry. The eecietary of . . state turned the money over to the state treasurer where it must remain until released by appropriation. This year none of the cannerymen have. paid a cent and they. don't intend to It is reported that Barveyors erenow in the Bine mountains of the John Day river making a preliminary survey - for " the extension of the Washington and Columbia river railroad as the Hunt system. is to be called -through Grant county, Camay' prairie, southern Oregon and California. - Such a route would bring the. road . via Goose lake, Hot springs valley Fall river valley' to the head ;.of the Sacramento . valley.. It would throw open to market millions of dollars worth of timber, range,' agricul tural and mineral lands, and develop an extensive and rich territory that is now isolated.' ' - ) Except on the reservation, where all the threshing outfit seem - to have first congregated, harvesting is very, back ward this season in ..Umatilla .county. In most instances " the straw . is. very heavy, and ..threshing necessarily slow. Machines are in : demand, and owners are; enabled to ask their own price for the: work. There is no established price, the difference in quality and the expense of threshing being so great that the figures must vary, -. Attorney - General Chamberlain ' has prepared the complaints and suits have been ', commenced .. against Linn and Multnomah counties to enfore the pay ment of the balance of state taxes due according to the levy of 1891, as equal ized by the state board of equalization and ,. finally. . settled .. by . the supreme court. 'In Multnomah county the bal ance is $68,963. S J and in .Linn county it is $3,609.12. Of the thirty-one counties twentyrtwo still, owe balances jiggregat ing $162,419.19. Suits will be brought against other of these counties shortly . ' Judge' Moreiand has cited an exam pie of needless expense to Multnomah. In the case of David. Benfield, a 14-year- old boy who .was arrested at Rooster rock for killing a pheasant, and after wards discharged, the expense to the county was $71.70. The justices' courts for Portland :-cost the coonty nearly $.12,000. - Last month the Albina court cost $700. " ; The Idiotic Phrase. , Review.

Lottie is after the fascinating. American dollar, and writes from quarantine that she is "anxious to know if the American audi ences will accept her original conception of boom-day-ah, which made all Europe ciazy." Anglomaniacs should note the way in which Lottie spells the . idiotic phrase which carried her into notoriety Watched With Interest.. . . , Penleton Tribune. ,.

' Homestead was to be a great demo cratic battle -cry. this -fall.- A special committee was- eent there to "investi gate," or, in other " words, to gather campaign material. ' When - Judge Oates, of Alabama, chairman of the committee, announced that he .was ready to report, what he had to . report was found so undesirable as "campaign material" that it was decided -to defer action uponr it.until after election." Then the judge gave but" hiereiort as his individual opinion, and so far is it from being '.'good campaign material",1 that Col.

A fire ' broke out in the snowsheds at Summit last night. Tbe Summit fire train, while fighting the flames, became en veloped in flames and had to be aban- ' doned. The engine and water cars were burned up. The - Blue canyon water ;: train was rushed to the front, and while : battling ; with the flames, a new fire : started west of tfie train, and for a time . there was danger that, this train would . burn.. . The, fires , were started at. four different points, evidently by an incen diary, who was traveling west Vom Summit. . A water train from Rocklin was sent up early this morning. The flames are now under control, but noth ing can be done toward laying a new track until the .fice dies out and the . rails cool, as no water can be thrown on the burning ties and timbers. : The' passengers of trains No. 4 and 2 lie at.

New York, Sept. 10. Tammany haTT came out boldly, tonight for Cleveland and Stevenson.- A meeting of the " gen eral committee was called to issue a call for primaries of the district.. Ex-Judge Nelson Smith presided and the hall was crowded. The chairman made a eulo gistic address on the presidential and vice-presidential candidates and at each mention of Cleveland's name the hall ' shook, with cheers. Senator Bourke Cockran, in a characteristic speech,' pre- sented resolutions endorsing the declar ation of principles adopted by the dem ocratic national convention ; condemning the republican policy of establishing . federal control of -elections-; ' inviting ' comparison between the record of the " republican administration now in power , and' the record of the democratic one. which preceded it; and lastly, cordially pledged muted efforts to elect Cleve and Steve. An exchange asks, what has Europe done for us that we should make her a present of our market, the greatest in the world, and throw tens of thousands of our people out of employment? Saved Hit Child's Life. A. N. Dilferbough, York, Neb., "The other day I came home and savs : found ' my little boy down with cholera morbus, my wite scared, not knowing what to do. I went-etraightway-and got a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain's. Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and gave it ac cording to directions. You never saw such a change in a child. Hie limbs and body were cold. I rubbed his limbs and body with my hands, and after . I . had given him the second dose ho. went to sleep, and, as my wife, says, "from- a death-bed he was - up- playing in three hours.'
