twenty. five years and has amassed an
ample fortune among the mountains.
de intends to ascend the great Yukon
river as far as possible, and for that
purpose has had constructed small
rn-wheel steamer, which will be
carried upon the deck of the schooner
to the mouth Of the river. He will
take three companions with him, and
has made all necessary preparations
for a three years cruise. He will
establish base of supplies at the
point where the Tananah empties into
the Yukon, and thence make pros

every direction. The chief purpose
Of this expedition is to discover min
eral treasures, but it can scarcely fail
to be otherwise important if the gen.
erous plans upon which it is pro-
jected are carried out. Mr.. Schiefelin
believes that Alaska is upon "the
mineral belt which encircles the
world, and the proof is strong enough
to take the chances"

National Board Of Health.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The esti-
mate Of the amount needed to main.
tain the National Board of Health in
all its ramifcations next year, which
were submitted to Congress in Decem
Der, footed up to 1901 600 They are
said to embrace no items not necessa-
ry in order to the successful prosecu
ton of the National Boards work
next year. The Board has many enc
mics, however. 1t has been regarded
from the first as an interloper by the
State Boards of Health, municipal
health officers and by private physi
clans. They have often combined
against it; sometimes they have eff
fected their purpose. They have now
succeeded in pursuading the sub. com >
mittee of the House Appropriations
Committee to recommend to the full
committee the appropriation of but
$4,000, OF just about enough to pay
the salaries of the Board next year.
When the many Southern members,
who have taken an almost personal in.
terest in the National Board of Health
from its birth, heard OF the action Of
the sub committee to day, they con.
centrated their efforts on the rest Of
the Appropriation Committee. They
will give them no rest by day and no
sleep by night until they reverse the
action of the subcommittee or stub
bornly declare that they won't. But.
terworth, Blackburn and Hiscook are

NnnnIeOn,s Picture.

Meissonier's cabinet picture Of Ma

which was purchased by Mr.. Ruskin
in 1868 for 1000 guineas, was sold for
him at auction on June 3. The two
principal competitors whose bids soon
caused all others to drop out were Mr..
Wallis, the original purchaser, who
for many years has managed the ex-
hibitions Of the French Gallery in
Pail Mall, and Mr.. Arnold, Of the
Paris firm of Arnold & Trip, who
crossed the channel determined to Sc
cure the treasure. After few mo

Knocked down to Mr.. Willis for the
enormous price of $500 hundred
guineas. 1t represents Napoleon in
his gray overcoat, white buckskin
breaches and white waistcoat, wear
ing his star aud orders, mounted on
a noble white barb and looking out
sternly across the battlefield. Near
him, but at some little distance are
two mounted officers Of hisa staff, as if
waiting to hear some order from him.
The likeness is excellent, and the fig

is not identical with, that Of the En-

Meissonier representing the retreat

one Of the principal moneyed men in
the camp, struck Judge F. W. Cole sew
eral times In the face and abused him
In vile terms. Judge Cole is q lawyer OF
prominence in the State. and OF recog.
nized ability. He has lately removed to
San Francisco, bnt has been here for Q
few days attending to some unfinished
law business. he was successful In
obtaining . verdict on Friday from
the Richmond Mining Company for
81, 500, which he alleged, and
they denied. wal due to him for
legal services. In the trial bitter per-
sonslities were INDUCED In by both sides
to the suit. Mr.. Foley. the special agent
Of the Richmond Company. who con.
tracted for Coles services, was severely
handled by the latter In his argument to
the Jury. The testimony OF the two
gentlemen as to the terms Of the contract
conHicted and o question Of yeracity
was raised. The night after the trial
Judge Cole il alleged to have made Q

ing paper this afternoon. accompanied

cept q challenge; that to do 30 would
deprive him Of his'right 10 vote or hold
any place OF trust in the State. and that
the language Of the cartel forbade bis
recognizing 1t. He added that he was
about his ordinary business, and could
be found readily at any time. This may
not be the end OF the affair. though the
community hope so. They have had
enough OF its publicity already.

INcENDIARlsM.
An Astsmps 70 Barn she Crewn
Poins Heisting. Works.

Evening before last, some children
around the Crown Point wood yard dis
covered q bundle Of rags and papers
freshly saturated with coal oil. Several
wood cars had been left on the railroad
track TO be unloadsd at the Grown Point
and the youngsters had gathered to pro.
cure the falling pieces Of bark and chips.
while engaged In this. the evidence Of
incendiarism was discovered. The bum
die was under the tlums-like structure
used TO slide the wood into the yard.
The object must have been to destroy
the Crown Point hosting. works. II
is not easy to arrive at o motive for such
an attempt. There were a hundred min
srs underground whose lives would have
been greatly endangered. Had the at
tempt been successful o great many
more men would have been thrown oui
of employment. and no one could pos
sibly be benefited by the FIRE. yet the
bundle was in such proximity to the
works az 10 leave no doubt OF the intent.
The structure under which 1t was placed
is Of dry boards, and Q moments time
would suffice to create q large fire, that
would be almost. on top Of the hosting
works.
Is it possible that there are persons in
Gold Hill 30 vindiciivs and depravsd that
because they are not prosperous they do
not desire others to be? Such a state oil
affairs is more than limited ct. The
rumor Is in circulation that parties have
said II they could not find employment
here no one else should. and the attempt
to burn the Crown Point apparently con-
firms the rumor. Let citizens DO on
their guard and II an incendiary Is found
deal with him in such Q manner as will
not be forgotten.
