Mining for Whisky.

An old steamer was sunk In the Missouri River at Elk Point, below Sioux City, before the }var. Included in the cargo were 100 barrels of whisky. The river has since shifted its channel, and the wreck is burled twentyfive feet under a sand-bar near the banks. Two young men recently .leased the site and have just sunk a shaft and reached the deck. They expect to have a choice lot of old whisky in a. few days.
