Nothing to tie to.

The town was agreeably surpris-
ed week ago last Tuesday by the
arrival Of the Str. Nelson. There
were about 80 passengers aboard
who came up to see the sights Incl
dent to the flood. This was the
trip concerning which the Spokane
Review attributes the following dry
humor to Capt. Hayward:
The whole north country was
taken by surprise, and is thorough
ly soaked. While the steamer Mel
son was lying idle Captain Troup
resolved to explore the Kootenai,
and sent out Captain Hayward with
instructions to run cautiously to
Bonner's Ferry and return by easy
stages.
Take it easy, pick up whatever
business you find, tie up nights,
and take no chances" was about
the gist of Captain Troup's instruc-
tions to Captain Hayward.
Hayward steamed out, and full
day earlier than he was expected
returned. Troup knew the river
and the capacity Of the boat and
was surprised.

inquired.

MINING IN ALASKA.

5. b. Robbins and e. F. Schoe-
maker, who have been in the mines
of Alaska for the past six or seven
years, arrived in the city few days
ago. Mr.. Robbins has carefully
studied the varied elements of the
mining industry in the far North.
During the course of an interview
yesterday he said he would not adj
wise any man to go into that coun-
try expecting to make fortune in
short order.
"Last year was a very hard one"
said Mr. Robbins, particularly on
those who went up there with barely
enough to live on. Over 400 men
crossed into the Yukon basin, some
equipped only with single blanket
and enough food to last them few
days. The wages are a half ounce
about $8-a day, but there were
two men for every job in sight.
every man who goes into the
Yukon country should have at least
$3.50 to $400. that is enough to
carry him through for a year. He
can then winter in the basin and be
at once prepared to commence work
when the spring opens. Four of
my friends during the past season
cleared up $4,000, but their luck
was unexceptional."
The mine in which Mr.. Robbins
and his partners were interested is
located at Itolcombs bay. This was
formerly known as Sumdum bay
and is located about fftysix miles
southeast of Juneau. According to
Mr.. Robbins the coast mines are
very rich. There are over 200 miles
Of coast line which is practically
unworked. The coast mines can be
operated all the year round if the
mills are located near the shore.
"The great Treadwell mine," said
Mr.. Robbins, "runs every day in
the year except two, Fourth Of July
and Christmas. 1t is now down
about 200 feet and is getting richer
every foot it goes down. There was
some talk last year Of putting in 100
additional stamps in order to keep
up with the ore output. There are
many mines along the coast that
are equally as rich as the Treadwell
but the coast line is so rough and
the vegetation SO rank that pro
speeding is very slow work.
"There are hundreds of men UP
there who have claims staked out
on which they are barely able to
keep up their assessment work,
They have made the same mistake
which hundreds of others have
gone up there as they would to a
mine where the base of supplies is
distant the journey of but day OF

Princeton and Columbia Athletes

No man in this town has deplored the
lack of cold weather this Winter more

far in getting ice has been the fact thai

FINANCES OF THE NATION.
Even With the Income Tax Receipts
Ihere May BE Deficits.

WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-The re-
ceipts from customs for the first IA days
of this month amounted to So, 227, 600
in round numbers, against 6,730, 900
for the last half of August, while the
receipts from internal revenue were
but 50 292, 600, compared with $780, 34. =
900 for the latter half of August. The
loss is due to the enormous sums
paid on whisky withdrawn for con-
sumption just before the new tariff act
Increasing the tax from 80 cents to
ST. 10 per gallon went into effect
August 10. 1t is not expected that The
receipts from the tax on alcohol spir-
its VIII reach the normal again before
January |, 1895. This will have the
effect, it is believed, of keeping the re-
ceipts of the treasury down 10 about
two-thirds OF the normal, or about
500, 900, 900 per month until January l.
The expenditures have averaged
about S34, 000,O00 per month, but with
out the sugar bounty will lie reduced
to about S3l 10000 For the next four
months the eXtimated receipts will be
about $S8, 900, 900 and the expenditures

TOMMY RYAN THE VICTOR.
Four Rounds Sufficient In Which l.
Conquer Billy Layton.


Conquer Billy Layton.
ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, Sept. 13.-Thirly-
five hundred sports from Omaha, Kan
sas City, Chicago, Des Moines, Topeka
and other cities saw the sun of Billy
Layton's ambition go down before the
hands of Tommy Ryan tonight.
The fight took place in a most I'M
usual spot, being on sandbar in the
middle of the Missouri river and
under the tent which the great Georgia
evangelist, Sam Jones, made his first
public appearance in this section 10
years ago.
The sports were OF the best class. SIS
and $40 for seats, and strong guard
of sentinels stationed around the
island, keeping the tough element
away.
1t was lao when Ryan appeared
in the ring, a1d his friends sent up a
shout OF applause. Layton appeared
two minutes later and was given an
ovation. Odds of 10 to were offere d
on Ryan and large amount taken.
Andy Kassimir of Kansas City was
selected as referee and James Cou-
molly and Jack Wilkes of st. Louis
went behind Layton, while Martin
Durkin of st. Joe and Kid Vance OF
Omaha filled the same place for Ryan.
At 1855 the men shook hands and
the fight commenced.
Round Ryan assumed the ag-
gressive and led with his right for
Layton's neck, getting in light blow.
n rapid exchange followed and Ryan
planted his right back Of Layton's ear.
He followed with heavy neck blows
and Layton countered with heavy
right on Ryan's cheek. A heavy right
on Layton's ear closed the round in
Ryan's favor.
Round Layton lodged vicious
body right. Ryan followed with a
swinging left and caught Layton
squarely under the ear. knocking him
against the ropes. Layton rallied and
caught heavy left on the Jaw. but
was punished by swinging right ON
the cheek, which brought first blood
for Ryan. The round closed WITH q
sharp exchange.

reached here that u battle was fought
between the Chinese and japanese near
Kair Cheng, Corea, about September =.
The native newspapers of September
10 say the fight last two days aud
was still undecided when the Jews
was forwarded TO the native press.
The Chinese papers of September u
announce that General Yeh, Chinese
commander, reports having gained q

posed here, however, that the Chinese
have met with reverses at Ping Yang.
The floods in Corea still prevent the
Chinese troops from CROSSING the I'M

trenchments.
Another report current here says the
Kirino division of the Chinese army
has crossed Kulin river and is now

before attacking the Japanese right
flank.
1t is reported that the Chinese ad-
