ceived from the Journals correspondent
fr jm Fonoe, under date of August 3rd.
In an interview Colonel Woodward says
in regard to the matters leading op to
the resignations:
"Tbe specific ohargea made by General
Garretsoo,oommander of our brigade,
were as to the straggling ou tbe maroli
between Gaanioa apd here. When the
maroh began the men were very tired
ana i did not have tbe heart to be se
vere with thoe who were exhausted.
"General Henry said that the volun
teers suffered from too much good feel
ing of this kind ; that I had been among
the men in my regiment too lonir and
that disoipline suffered srreatlv. Ha
said they shot men in the regulars when
tney tell out. I replied. emDbalicallv.
perhaps that was hie oustom, but it was
noimine. I said I had no desire to
court martial the stragglers. The gen
eral said I must. I said I would resign
first, Bnd he said that my resignation
would be accepted. Lieutenant Colonel
Claflin eaid the same. Major Taylor
said so, too. We were ordered before
tne Doard and we resigned."

THE GREAT NORTHERN.
A Strong Company to Operate Thia
Famous Gold Property.
Canyon City News.
Frank Harris and A. H. Beaeley,
whose arrival in the city the News noted
last
week, are associated with Isaaa
Guker and others in tbe newly organized
ureal Northern Mining Co., Beasley be
iog the assayer and mineralogist and
Mr. Harris the general manager.
This company has been incorporated
under the laws of tbe etate of Utah. Ita
ospital stook is 1,000,000 shares of the
par value of one cent. Of thia etook
200,000 has been listed as "treasury
stook" and will be disposed ot at not
leas than 25 oents a share, for tbe pur
pose of oreating a fund for developing
the property, purobasing mills and
maohinery aod paying other expenses
whioh would have to be met should the
"pay aeam" fall below expectations in
monthly output. At this time, however,
Mr. Guker informs tbe News that tbe
pay aeam is yielding each day by tba
mortar and pan process sufficient free
gold to pay expenses.
Of the capital stock of the Great
Northern company Mr. Guker retains
600,000 shares, or a controliug interest.
Strange to relate none of the members
are trying to dispose of their stock, and
only tba treasury stook bas been set
Aside for sale it its necessity should

Assays made by Mr. Beasley from ore
taken at a distaooe of every four inches
across the three toot gold seam lead 23
feet below the aurtaoe ran from a little
above $4 for tbe loweet to $7,387 for the
highest, per ton. The ledge has also
been sampled at half a dozen different
points, and all tba aaaays have been
ouite satisfactory. The first shipment
of bullion by tbe new company will be
made tbia week.
A carload ot milling ore will be
shipped to Halt Lake within tbe next
month. Ore already on tbe dump will
average ,173.80 per ton. Supplies of
.rao. i.u- imnmA ,aj tools
are now at Bumpter and will be biougui
over aa apeedily aa possible. Practloal ,
experienced, bard-rook minera will bs
brought in and worked on eight hour
shifts. For the present tunnels will bs
driven, ahafta auok and orossouta run
on the ore bodies, the ore will be sloped
and blocked out so that tbe oompaoy
can determine just how much wealth
tbers Is in sight. Tbey may at the same
lime purchase adjuinlog propertiea and
pot them through a course ot develop
ment, or tbey may couflae their oper
ations alone to Ibe limits ot tba Ureal
Northern. But while tbe eontein plated
development is going on tbe rich pay
seam will not bo overlooked, and trust
ed employes will ountiouo to make dally
oleanops therefrom.

Boms ntbusiaatio observer predicts
that tbs wheat orop of tbe Northwest
tbia season will be large aooogh to give
Ibe railroads a good traffic for two years
In hauling it to market. This la per
haps a little extravagant, but It is cer
tain that tba crop la going to La beavy
io all tba hard-wheat belt and elnoout
n Oregon aod Washington, where there
is never a failure. The high prices of
last spring, produced by the famous
Leiter wheal deal, eoooiirag-d farmers
to seed more ground that osnal, ao Ibal
the total acreage l probably about 10
per oeot greater than It was in H t7.
With a good yield, thia meaoe an enor
mous I orrease io the total surplus which
will coma lo railroad for the haul lo
the lake porta arid lo tbe mills of Mi tine-
spoils, lulalh end Huperiur. The niort.
gage IndeblrUiiree will be a good deal
reduced by Ibe money the fanner will
gel from Ibe crop, and the merchants In
lbs tow a will enjoy a brisk trade. A
wheat Country always buoms ia years
wbaa the yield is large sod Ibe price
good. Nurtbwtst Magasioe.
