An Extraordinary Discovery in Alaska
From the San Francisco Chronicle

An Extraordinary Discovery in Alaska
From the san Francisco Chronicle.
This season when the whaling fleet
returned from a short trip to the Arctic
Ocean il was stated that the season had
been unusually short and that the catch
had been large, but few people were
aware of the extraordinary discovery
which had been made by the crew of one
of the vessels, which is to result in the
enrIching of a score or more people.
The story, as told by the captain of the
Whaler, is as follows: While the vessel
was lying in a small bay et the mouth of
one of the rivers which empty into the
ocean on the coast of Alaska, a great
many of the natives came aboard to
trade for sea biscuit, of which they are
passionately fond, and they were treated
SO literally by the white men
that the chief invited the cap
tain to accompany them up the
liver a short distance on a fishing excur-
5. on. The captain consented, especially
as he was told that the river swarmed
wi Y salmon, and he desired TO lay in a
SIP, ly. A whale-boat was manned, and
the captain, one of the mates, and four
ynsn started on the expedition. The en-
dire party went

high. Here Aae party hasasS, ard after
partaking of dinner the seaman began
taking salmon, while the captain and
mate, together with the chief, made an
ascent of the hill. Arriving at the top
they found what seemed to be the crater
of an extinct volcano, and around were
evidences that at one time there had
been terrible eruption, for loose bowl
ders, charred and blackened, stFewed the
ground in every direction. In the era
ter itself the captain noticed that the
rocks resembled CONCEALED iron after il
had been melted, and undertook to

then that il was metal OF some kind,

ward evening q native brought 9 piece
of rock about twelve inches long BIZ six
inches thick, which weighed ioriy-eighs
pounds and sparkled with gold, stating
that he had found IL near another hill
farther mp the river, and that such rock
was easily gathered there. The party
returned 10 the vessel, and in due time ar
rived in San Francisco. Here the story
was told 10 a gentleman living in Oak

KellOgg's Case.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The extreme
Democrats who are trying TO induce
their associates in the senate to unseat
Senator Kellogg, are making no pro-
gress of any consequence. While there
is a majority on the Democratic side IA
voring prompt action against him, there
are enough who cannot be persuaded to
disturb an adjusted case To defeat the
movement against him.
The Richmond Dispatch has taken
strong grounds against Interfering with
Kellogg. 1t declares that he was seated
after full understanding with the Dem
ocrats that Batter should also be sworn
in, and to Dust Kellogg now would be TO
repudiate an agreement, and thus Law
themselves open TO the charge of bad
faith.
