Gold in Alaska.

Capt. ]. G. Barr, of Minneapolis,
has returned to Seattle from jour
ney to the Interior of Alaska. He
went to the gold district. 1000 up
the Yukon river on the 9TH of June,
and found that rich discoveries had
been made in Miller creek which
empties into Forty Mile creek about
seventy miles from the Yukon.
Four different placer claims were
being worked and were averaging
126 ounces of gold a week-a big
yield. It's only possible to work
about 80 days year up there on
account of the cold. The only draw
back is the climate. The ground is
constantly frozen to such depth
that the pay streak, to make the
mine paying one, must lie quite
near the surface. The ground
never wholly thaws out. The in
dications were excellent for gold
bearing quartz. Last year $4,000
was taken out of four claims. This
year it is estimated that the yield
will reach $250,000. Alaska has
mineral resources that are not yet
dreamed of. The Yukon is a won
derful river. Think of the magni-
tude of a country which has a river
in it navigahle for 1900 miles and
ha ing fine tributaries, one of these
nlvigable for 1000.

Rich Field in Africa but the
Expense is too Great.
ALASKA HAS MUCH GOLD.
But it is too Cold to Work the Claims
---America is the Best Gold
Country.

The average American miner
prefers to work in America. Those
who wander away generally seem to
be thoroughly glad to get home
again. One of the latest arrivals in
Spokane is ]. d. Gallivan, of Delta,
Idaho, an old Ceur d'Alene man
who has been spending several
years in the Southern African gold
fields about Johannesburg. He
doesn't seem at all sorry to be home
again.
81 suppose those gold fields are
the greatest in the world" said Mr..
Gallivan. eff man has several
hundred thousand dollars, it is a
good place to'make money rapidly,
but man who hasn't a fortune to
start with had better keep away.
The English capitalists are ahead
of him. They control the ground
and have plenty of capital to work
it and are making money. But it
is no country for poor man.
GA miner gets about the same
wages as he does in this part of the
world but his expenses are heavier.
If he gets out of work in the mines
there is hardly anything else he
can get to 90. He might prospect
but the prospector is hampered by
heavy taxes on every claim he To-
Gates which are increased as soon
as he begins to locate his claim.
These taxes don't amount to much
for a rich company but are a serious
obstacle to the average prospector
or poor man who owns a claim

the boat and Capt. Shaw wanted to
leave port. He got everything in
readiness and went before Commits
sioner Sinclair and made complaint
that one John Hoban had stolen
the steamer State of Idaho. U. S.
Deputy Marshal Humane went on
board and arrested Hoban and took
him before the commissioner.
Capt. Shaw had by this time got
his clearence papers and the crew
were casting off when Deputy Sher-
iff Donst appeared on the scene with
warrants for the arrest Of Capt.
Shaw, U. S. Commissioner Sinclair
and U. S. Deputy Marshal Human,
charging them with conspiracy.
Doust managed to get on the boat
before she had left the dock and
finding Capt. Shaw attempted to
arrest him. Shaw wouldn't be ar
rested and told Doust to go to h
with his warrant, and turned and
vent up onto the hurricane deck.
Doust followed, but so soon as Shaw
saw that the officer was following
him he turned and told him to go
down and to leave the boat. Doust
hesitated and Shaw assisted him
some in getting down the hatchway.
The Idaho by this time had backed
out into the river but Canadian
Customs Officers Johnstone and
Mcintosh came down to the dock
and the boat put back to the dock
to let them on. Meanwhile Doust
was trying to convince Capt. Shaw
that he was under arrest, but when
the boat got near enough to the
dock TO get out a gang plank john
stone and Mcintosh went aboard
and Shaw succeeded in convincing
Doust that he wasn't under arrest
and made the crestfallen officer
walk the gang plank. Great was
the shout of the crowd as the crew
drew in the gang plank and the
whistle gave a farewell toot to the
retiring officer.
Doust proceeded to read his war
rant Of arrest to Capt. Human who
laughed at him and told him he
was going home to get his dinner,
and he went. The warrant was
read to Commissioner Sinclair and
the farce was then ended for the
day.
Nothing since Dick Fry settled
in the valley has injured Bonner's
Ferry so mucn as the recent litiga-
tion over the possession of the
steamer State of Idaho. 1t will
give the impression, which we
know is entirely erroneous, that the
Bonner's Ferry route is an unrelia-
BILE one and shippers will hesitate
before sending their goods over it
To a disinterested person it looks as
though the whole matter could
have been avoided by proper legaI
proceedings. AS it is there is q
prospect Of long and senseless liti
CATION, involving animosities anc

Interesting and Amusing Legal
Proceedings Commenced.
STATE VS.. FEDERAL COURTS.
A Lien on the Steamer State of Idaho
Creates much Merriment for
Those Not Interested.

ouO VI OllS dppiiCdtiOu Vi the HOLY
Hardware Co. for a receiver for the
steamer State of Idaho during the
pendency of their suit for foreclos-
ure of lien against that vessel. 1t
appears the hardware company
claims that the boat people are in
debted to them about $500 for ma
terial furnished, which is secured
by lien on the boat. An action
was commenced to foreclose in the
district court and John Hoban was
appointed receiver by an order of
Judge Holleman. Acting upon
the order Hoban took possession of
the steamer upon its arrival from
Kaslo last Tuesday night. The
master of the vessel refused to rec
ognize his authority and applied to
United States Commissioner Sim
clair for the purpose Of securing an
order to arrest Hoban. The order
was made and United States Mar
shall Human took Hoban into Gus
tody,who was thereafter released on
his own recognizance to appear be-
fore the Commissioners at ten o'clock
the next morning
Shortly after Il through the
advice of his attorneys, Hoban again
took possession of the vessel and
began to discharge the old hands
right and left. Again the U. S..
commissioner was applied to with
the request by the head officer of
the steamer to issue another order
of arrest against the receiver. The
commissioner boarded the vessel
and learning from Hoban that he
contemplated leaving the country
and did not intend to abide by his
recognizance to appear for examin-
alton in the morning, ordered Capt.
Human to take the receiver into
custody and refused to hear an APP
lication for bail at that time.
The following morning the exam
ination was proceeded with before
the U. S. Commissioner. Evidence
was introduced for the prosecution
that the State of Idaho was engaged
in foreign commerce and sailed on
foreign waters, and that the order
appointing the receiver was not
served on the owner of the boat but
upon an employe. After hearing
argument Of counsel for the defense
the commissioner decided that while
the order appointing Hoban receiv.
er was made without authority anC
improperly served, IIoban had com
mitted no intentional wrong anC
discharged him.
Thus things stood until Thursday
evening when the Idaho came in
and Hoban demanded possession o
the boat as receiver. Capt. Ian
neau surrendered possession undt
protest, and Hoban went on board
A complaint was then filed befor
Justice Carlton and a warrant is
sued for the arrest of U. s. Com
missioner Sinclair for statutor,
misdemeanor in that he had beel
guilty of contempt in disobeyinl
the order of the district court b.
not recognizing the authority of tn
receiver. After extended argu
ments lasting about eight hours tn
court dismissed the prisoner on th
ground that it had no authority t
punish a man for contempt of
higher court.

WILL BRlDLE ELECrRICICY

DR.. EDgleman's "Interrupter'' Makes |
1t Possible TO Give Exact Doses.
DIR. George j. Engleman of the |
4hedical University of St. Louis,
Mo, has invented a little instru-
ment called an "interrupter," which
is expected to be of great value in
applying the faradic electricity to |
therapeutics. Ii was exhibited last |
night by the inventor to number
of physicians and scientists at the |
residence of DR. j. Mount Bleyer,
No 118 East Sixteenth street
The instrument gives $4,000 in
terruptions per minute, whereas all
previous interrupters have given
about 10000. DR.. Bleyer has in
vented pevice called the dido
phone" by which the Interruptions
on the new instrument can be pho
tographed, thus rendering it posi-
BILE to dole out the electricity in ex-
act doses
Scientists heretofore could not
tell by the old singing vibrator, in
vented by Elisha Gray, which has
been generally used, how much
faradic electricity they were giving
a patient.
Currents of varying power can
be secured by using different sizes
Of coil and wires in the 'Interrup
ter" 1t was set going by DR.. En-
gleman, and it accomplished all he
claimed for it to the satisfaction of
the gentlemen present.
The record Of the Interruptions
was secured by stretching a piece
OF thin rubber over metal ring
A disc was then placed over the
end of an ordinary telephone re-
ceiver and the ring placed upon it.
Some lycopodium powder was then
placed upon the rubber and the
current turned on.
The white powder went whirling
over the rubber at great speed and
all the mathematical figures it des
cribed were photographed by 6
small instrument above it. Mil
lions of figures can be taken of ths
varying number of Interruptions.
DR.. Bleyer has also invented (
! little device that runs by clock
| work called the .'sphygomograph,
| which registers the vibrations of tn
| muscles of the body when the cleo
tricity is passing through them.
DR.. Eigleman said that with hi
| interrupter faradic electricity coul
in future be applied to patients in
humane and Intelligent manner
i Dr. NJ NJ WE'LL assisted him in hi
D experiments.
