In this way he proposes^to reach the vast reservoirs of beat pent^up in the earth's interior and utilise it^for warming cities, generating electricity,^etc. This wonderful invention will on^tir.ly do away with the fear that we shall^all freeze to death when the wood and^coal is all gone.
DanPearsons and E. W. Jewett of^North Powder, Ore., were arretted on^rliurgo of stealing cattlo and taken to^t'iiion. A warrant is also out for Cam^E lwanli for the same offense, but he has^so far evaded the olBcera. These par-^tics have beeu running what is known as^the Farmers' alliance meat wagon all^Minmit-r. supplying the people along^Njrth Powder river with meat, and they^are suspected of having stolen a part, at^least, of the cattle they have butchered.
SignalObserver Glover, at Astoria, was^the recipient a few days ago of a very^fine specimen of walrus tusk. It is a^besurilul piice of ivory, about two feet^long, and has a curioas indentation on^one side which appears to have been^made in an enrly stage of its growth by a^liullci. Unlike most tusks of this kind,^the base of it is of a blood, red color,^streaked with dskfker veins running irreg^^ularly through it, which makes It an^unique specimen, and occordiugly of^c uisiderabte more value.
Aprospector named Ilickford relates^to the Tekao Glob* tha discovery of a^strange mineral that takes firs and con^^sumes itself when exposed to the air.^When taken fsjptn the ground it has much^the appearance of iron ore and is quite^as heavy. The first that was taken out^was piled up near the shaft one eveninr^and the next morning was found to be^smoking. It continued to grow bolter^until it arrived at almost a white heat,^remaining in that condition several days,^after which it gradually cooled off. It^v as then found to be but half its first^wo ight, and resembled much the frag-
meatsof meteors that are found on the^surface. Nothing liki it has ever bean^hear J of in tha t o^ur d'Alene country,^and the find Is being much talked of.^Specimens will be sent to the Smithson^^ian institution. The rock probably con^^tains native phosphorus and ought to^have commercial value.
TreteoU,toe sturgeon man, baa bead-^quarters on Tenes Habee island, where^he dissects the sturgeon, and where the^steamer stops every night for boxes^and boxes of that largo fish. The stur^^geon fishermen get a cent a pound Just^as the fish are caught, or one cent and a^half a bin heads and tails are rut off and^lbs fish gutied. Soino of the men make^a eaicii of uear'y a ton a night, but tboy^earn all they get, says the Attorian, for^it is hard work taking rare of and look^^ing after a couple of huudred hooks on^several lines every night.
Inloading wheat the record bis again^been broken at the Tacoma warehouse,^says the Qlob*. Wednesday and the day^before 26,000 sacks of wheat were put into^the ship Centurion. Bui for a breakdown^of the old conveyor belt 14.000 sacks would^have been put into the snip yesterday in^^stead of 12.5 jO sacks. Each day thero has^been but eight hours' work, making the^rate of loading 1,500 sacks an hour. Ac^^cording to President Ingcrsoll of tho Ta^^coma Warehouse ^ Elevator company the^question has never been as to the ability^of the warehouse people to load fast^enough, but aa to the speed of the men on^tbe ship. Three years ago, when the^warehouse started operations, the nr^n in^the ship could not manage to slow away^more than 7.000 sacks a day, while now^they do double that amount of work.^^Tbey seem to bave increased their speed^just that much,^ said Mr. Ingersoll.^Faster machinery, of course, has had^much to do in csusing tbe longshoremen^to bump themselves.
TheBoseman Ottrier window Is^adorned this week by a cabbage bead^raised by M. H. Allen. It weighs ^1^pounds and Mr. Allen says he has many^more like it. Henry Heob of Manhattan^had llfteen acres of oats which measured^1,155 bushels, being an average of 77^bushels per acre. He had iu all 6.5JU^bushels of wheat and oats on 110 acres,^an average of 59 bushels per acre. M. It.^Allen bad 3,10'J bushels of oats on 21^acres, drill measure, an average of V-'J^bushels per ucre, perhaps the best crop^in the Gallatin valley tins year. He had^also 23 acres of wheat which threshei^out 1,100 bushels, an average of nearly 4$^bushels per acre. John it. Heck, one of^tbe farmers who is not satisfied with au^ordinary s;'i;d farm, but can handle a^large place as well as some men can a^small one, bad aine acres of oats th is^year which threshed 900 bushels, or 10J^bushels to tbe acre. From ninety acres^ho threshed 1,950 bushels, an average^of 77Jf bushels per acre. Ho^bud 77 acres of wheat which aver^aged 50 bushels to tho acre, and 70 itcres^of wheat drilled in stubble from which^2,040 bushels were threshed, an average^of ever 29 bushels to the acre. This is^good exhibit for Gallatin county, but^Northern Montana gets away wi'h the^blue ribbon. There were cn exhibition^in this office a cabbage raised by Mr.^Birkenbuel which weighed 36 pounds, and^three potatoes each weighing nearly^three pounds. W. Storking, near Fort^Benton, cut 56 tons of alfalfa upon nine^acres at tbe first cutting. Mr. Oexter's
40acres of wheat went *8 bushels to tbe^acre, and o) acres of oats panned oat SO^bushels to tbe acrr. The potato crop ^^f^Sun River valley ran not less than 400^busbela to tbe acre, while the yield of^corn, melons and other field and garden^products was simply enormous. And all^these phenomenal crops were raised^without irrigation.
It'snot such an expert slve matter to^drill an oil well as you might imagine,^^said Henry Brady, an expert driller^from Braddock. Ponn., who was found in^Seattle tbe other morning by a Prttt-^Tim's reporter, who bas been engaged to^superintend the sinking* f an oil well at^Port Gardner. ^After your machinery is^all on the ground it costs an average ef^II a loot until tbe depth of 1 LOO feet is^reached, then it cosu an average of f 1 50^a foot for every foot up to 3,000 feet. The^deepest well I ever saw was 0J feet.^After you get a half mile down into tho^ground Its very teiious work. Frequently^tbe drill breaks ami you have to llsb for^it. Sometimes it will take throe or four^days to get it out. It is doue in the same^manner in which a corkscrew is taken^out of a bottle. When wo get this well^down 1,500 feot, if we do not strike oil or^gas, we will shoot tho well. What I^mean by this is that wo will lower a lot of^dynamite or nitro-clycerine cartridges^into the well and touch them off by elec^^tricity. By that r.iraiu any str.-ams of oil^or pockets of gas in that vicinity will be^ruptured and escape through the crevices^to the well. I have seen the oil shoot up^100 feet in the sir after a well was thus^shot. Yes, I have no doabt whatever^that there is plenty of oil and gas in tbe^state of Washington, as tho formation of^coal beds are similar to those under which^gas was found ia West Virginia, Pennsyl^^vania and Ohio. I am eager to get^to work, for in a rich mineral country^like this there's no telling what you may^strike.

THE
SLEEP.NCUN His OWN COFFIN.
TheCuach a Carpenter Occupied fee^Twenty Year*.
Fromlue San Kianvlsco Examiner.
ElwellChick will be buried this morning^at the Masonic cemetery, in a cedar coffin^that ho made 20 year* ago. Chick was a^carpenter at 1,*^1- Hyde street. He was^born at Westcasset, Me., iu 1810. When^he came to California no one appears to^know, but it was certainly in very early^pioneer days. He lived for 16 years in tbe^wooden shanty on Hyde street, where he^repaired furniture and did odd jobs.
thickwas not a model cit.s.'u,^ said^a neighbor yesterday, ^for the reason^that he frequently got drunk. When^under the infliiencu of liquor he was a^worthless vagabond. When sober ha was^a truthful, industrious man. But his^sober periods were not many.
Ibecame acquainted with him in this^way. I noticed him sitting on hi* steps^one day. He appeared despondent, aud^1 asked him what tbe trouble was.
Hetold me that ho had pawned all^bis tools tor whiskey and that ho had no^money to redeem ili-iti. I went with him^to Chief Crowley and ho got his tools^back.
'Chick was grateful for my interest in^him and asked ma inio his home. It was^just as you see u now^dirty aud bare of^comforts. There was a big box iu tbe^corner with a mattress upon it.
Iasked him if he had no thought of^tbe future, and be laughed, rather sadly,^saying tbat be had prepared for all that.
ThenHe told tue his story. There was^no chance for his reformation, be said.^Drink had got the best of biro, aud be
SecretaryBlaine is very proud of the^tureoss achcived by his e-ldi st son. Kin-^^nous, who has just been appointed a*-^-aslant to tin* president of the Baltimore^^ Ohio rai.road,with general charge of the^western department of the road. Secre^^tary III a me has never recovered from the^shock of his son Walker's death, but his^pride now centers in his eldest -on.
Apeculiar bird wa^ raptured a few-^days ago nrur Cheyenne. Wyo. It ha*^the head, lie.il, ami talons of an eagle,^but its plumage is shaded green and blui ,^resembling that of a parrot.
