Wholesale Arrests of Sheepmen.
U. S. Marshal Humphrey of Portland
arrived in The Dulles yesterday, lwaring
warrants for the arrest of nine promi

ber of these left this afternoon for Port
land in company with that officer, ' and
were in a very . discontented state of
mind. The law which they are charged
with violating Jis pasturing their bands
of sheep on the Cascade government re
serve "with intent to destroy the range."
The sheep men are very indignant and
justly regard the action as the last straw
to break the camel's back. Said one of
them this aftarnoon : "They destroy our
business by removing the tariff, and yet
they are not satisfied short of absolute
rain."
Their trials will occur before Judge
Bellinger and if the charges are sua
tained nearly or quite all of the sheep
raisers of this country will be involved,

, ' - ' C. L. GlLBKRT,
Country School . Superintendent of
Wasco Co. Oregon. . . td
writes as follows :
"Reports are coming into Stevenson,
Skamania county, Wash., daily that
very good prospects of gold, silver and
copper ore have been found in . large
quantities on Lookout mountain. This
mountain is located on the head of
Rock creek, about twenty miles north
west of Stevenson, the county seat of
Skamania county, from which place
prospectors are now cutting in trails,
which will be easy to travel on foot or
horseback. The ore seems to be rich in
gold, silver and copper and is easv to
mine. -There haB been a number of
claims staked out and the country is
full of prospectors, and strikes are re
ported daily. There are now fonr tun
nels being driven and the ore is showing
up better as they go. There is also
some placer gold found near by, which
is being worked with success. Many
new miners are now at Stevenson get
ting outfits and .preparing to go out
mostly from Portland. Supplies and
pack horses can be obtained at Steven
son, which is the nearest town to the
mines."
The above statement, though very en
couraging, is quite moderate when
viewed alongside the following commu
nication in the Stevenson Pioneer,
which is signed "Timothy Sullivan, the
wild Irishman." Though tbe signature
is enough to create a doubt of the gen
uineness of the communication, it is so
worded as to be entitled to some weight
nevertheless :
"Before you get this there is liable to
be a thousand people here, for they are
coming from the north, south, east and
west, some turning back when they can
see the mountain, but they do not know
it. The long lost Copper Belt that was
discovered about 25 years ago by a
Scotchman. I knew him well, we pros
pected on the north fork of Lewis river.
He started to Scotland with some ore
and wrote from New York that he was
coming, but took sick there and kicked
the bucket. So here we are now, the
biggest copper belt in the world. Little
