tion, says all the miners will strike
'o morrow. The feeling throughout
Schuylkill county is decidedly
gloomy and coai is gettii-g c!l!c
every where. Reports vjeceived
from Alahoney say that the situa
tion is unchanged, and the strikers
are getting ugly, non-hands bein'j
guarded bv the company's police.
There bas been considerable stone
throwing in the vicinity of Locust
Summit, but no one has been in
jured. The strike is not over by
any means, and serious trouble is
not unlikely before many days.
The strikers places at Cres6onal
were promptly filled this morning.

The WV-rst Storm of Sany Seasons
(nil us Asaiu Itaunius.
Do i rii (Minn. Jan. '-'.The
railroad tracks hereabouts are now
VkjsJv. cleared of snow, and trains
are kt-girining to run after a deten
tionjf, in some cases, ever half a
day. The biockadw lias been the
woJ!)t for a number of seasonss.
Some years ago since Professor
Davidson exhibited at the Academy
of Sciences two boomerangs which
a friend nad procured for him from,
old Indians living on therlanks of
the San Jacinto mountains, in Los
Angeles county . One was heavy
and intended for large game and
for war, the other was a lighter oue
for small game. The latter was
differently from the curved Doomed
raug of Austrada. The former v. as
not curved, but the two nearly
equal arms subtended an angle of
110 degrees. The Indians know
nothing about the method ot throw- s
ing-:tiwie v:T.:7i..ey6:ld:" '
turn in any measure to the throw er.
This announcement soon elicited
a note from John T. Dovle, stating
that when the earlv Spaniards
reached the region of New Mexico
they found a boo nerang in use by
the natives, but that it differed m
shape wholly from the Australian
or the Californum. Prom- the
Spanish description the shape was
about two-l birds the circumference
of an ellipse, one of longer sides
being wanting. In other words, it
was very trvflcn the block letter C.
Another mention of the boome
rang in use by the Indians ot San
Diego has been found in '"An His
torical Journal of the Expedition
by Sea and Land to the North of
California, in 17G3, 17G9 and 1770,
when the Spanish establishments
were first made at San Diego and
Monterey, iroin Spanish manu
script translated by William Revely
anJ published bv Dairymple iu
1790
The account is evidently written
by one ot the officers ot the expe
dition, under the command of Don
Gasper de Portola. Alter speak
ing or the bowl and arrows oi tne
Indians he cays:
"Besides these arms they use a
sort of manaca cf very hard wood,
the lorm of which is very HKe a .
short ana crooked saber, lhis
they throw at a distance, cutting
the" air with great violence; they
can send it farther than a stone
and never go into the fields with
out it. Ifthey meet wdh a viper
or othe4- noxious animal they geu
erallydhHe in two peices, as the
Spainard saw during their iutts-.
course with tlieui.
'"The manaca was a wooden
weapon, generally edged sharp
races "of Peru and of Mexico. It
suggests an examination of Id re
cords to discover the form, and
particular uses ot this instument
and also .whether Frank Cushings.

Malheur and Unrncy Lake.
A party of gentlemen from Crow
camp recently had a boat construct
ed to explore Malheur and Harney
lakes. They launched their boat on
the 24th of November and christen
ed her on the "Beautiful Racine.'
The freeze-up, however, prevented
the party frem proceeding in their
boat. They went on foot some dis
tance below Pelican island, about
twenty-nve . miles from Burns,
where they discovered another isl
and about three miles long. They
named it Guano island . ThU
place seems to be the home
and breeding ground of all the vari
ous water-fowls, and would be a
paradise for sportsmen in the
spring and summer. There are
deer on the island. As s,on as the
break-up in the spring the Crow
campers propose to thoroughly ex
plore both Malheur and Harney
lakes tor fur-bearing animals.
