ALASKA MINES.

DR.. Becker Makes a Report OF the Sub
ject to the Government.
SAN FRANCIsco, Sept. DIR. George
F. Becker, geologist in charge on this
division of the United States geological
survey, has returned from Alaska, where
he has been making a survey Of the gold
and coal fields along the shore line. He
was accompanied by DR.. William H.
BAIL, who went to make a special re-
port on the coal fields. This is
the first work that has even
been done by the United States
geological survey in Alaska. He says
there is no doubt that Alaska is
going to be an active mining region but
he does not believe it will rival the Cali
fornia mining belt. The veins are not
SO large and well developed as they are
in this state.
There has been quite an excitement
this summer among the placers at the
head Of Cooks Inlet. The amount Of
success thus far achieved hardly war
rants the amount of interest exhibited.
The profitable washings thus far are
confined to a few miles on Bear creek,
which empties into Turnagain arm.
Heating Quality Poor.
AS to the coal deposits, the only coal
found that seems likely to be of any
commercial value was at Cooks Inlet.
The coal is present in large quantities.
Its heating effect is, comparatively slight,
so that it takes about two tons to do the
work OF one ton Of Vancouver island
coal. He believed the coal could be econ.
omically mined, if the work was done
on a large scale, and with great system.

are worked

Filibustering. Excursion Stopped
by Uncle Sam Off the Jersey
Coast.
Twenty Men and a Quantity Of
Arms and Ammunition
Seized.
Close Watch Has Been Kept on
the Party For Some
Time.

WILMINGTON, Sept. 2.-Twenty men
were brought here during the day from
Penns Grove, N. j., and lodged in Jail,
charged with violating the neutrality
laws in having organized a hostile expe-
dition to Cuba. They are still here in
custody of.the United States authorities
and will be a1raigned in the morning.
It has been suspected for several
months that a Cuban flibustering party
was at work in this city. It is now
learned that they have headquarters at
III Market street, here, and that at least
one, if not more, expeditions to Cuba
have been dispatched from this city.
On Monday the United States authori-
ties here We're notified by Detective
Gaylord Of the Pinkerton agency in
Philadelphia that another expedition
was about to take it's departure. United
States Deputy Marshal Hewson E. Lam
non and several assistants, together
with the police authorities have been
Keeping Il Close Watch
ever since. They noticed a number OF
suspicious characters lettering about the
cigar store in the neighborhood OF the
headquarters, and discovered that one
Of these had gone to the Office of the
Charles Warner company and chartered
the tug Taurus, to carry freight to
Penns Grove. They Swallowed the tug
until she left her wharf in this city at
midnight. 1t was known beforehand
by the authorities that the alleged fill
clustering party was to wait at PennS
Grove for a steamer to come from Phila-
delphia to take them to Cuba. The
name Of this steamer is not known, but
it was learned that she was not expected
to arrive at Penns Grove until midnight.
The pursuing party, therefore, permit
ted the men they We're watching to load
their freight and embark their pas
sengers without molestation, and saw
them sail III the direction Of Penns
Grove, whittier some Of the detectives
had been sent to await developments.
Had Guns on Board.
At 5 p. m. Marshal Lannen and sew
eral assistants, Detective Gaylord and
two Of his associates and a squad Of
police, under Captain Kane, boarded the
tug Media and sailed to Penns Grove.
There they found the party who had
chartered the Taurus lounging about
the railroad station and put them under
arrest.
When they overhauled the freight in
the hull Of the Taurus, they found that
it consisted Of 81 cases Of arms, a large
quantity Of ammunition, provisions,
clothing, etc. All Of this was seized
and the party returned to Wilmington.
None Of the prisoners have been per-
mitted to make any statement and it is
not thought that they will he until they
are arraigned in court.

DULUTH, Sept. 2.-The crop year just
ended is the largest in Duluth's his
tory. The wheat received aggregates

more than for the previous year. The
shipments are much less than during the
previous crop year, being but "a, 66S, $40
bushels. This is accounted for by the
increased consumption of the head of

has been the high quality Of the wheat.

Late millionaire Paine of Iowa Was a

MALVERN, Ia, Sept. 2.-The late M.
U. Payne, the famous Fremont county
millionaire who died a few days ago,
was a most interesting and original
character. He was a lifelong friend OF
Jefferson Davis, and when the latter
was elected president Of the Southern
C%onfederacy, he appointed Payne secre.
tary of the interior, but he never served
in that capacity. Or the contrary, he
came North and settled in Fremont
county, where he has sinced amassed 8

THEY CAN'T WAIT
Request Of Auditor Dunn to SuS-
pend Entries in the Duluth
Land District,
Pending Investigation, Refused
by Land Commissioner
LamOrearX.
He Remembers Sparks and His
Rulings, and Will Avoid
Breakers.

ST. PAUL, Sept. "A Washington
special to The Dispatch says:
The request of State Auditor Dunn of
Minnesota to the land department. here,
that certain lands in the Duluth district
be withdrawn from entry under the
homestead and the timber and stone
acts, pending the examination now be-
ing conducted by Special Agent Farrell,
has been refused by Commissioner
Lamoreaux.
Mr.. Dunn's letter, which is a lengthy
document, was received July 3. It was
referred to the swampland division, and
Oh the 18th ult. a reply was sent to the
state auditor.
Couldn't Grant the Request.
1t is stated at the land department
that the request OF Mr.. Dunn could not
be granted without legislation giving
the department the authority to sus-
pend the provisions of certain acts of
congress. 1t is cited that Commission
er Sparks tried to suspend the opera
ton OF the homestead and timber cul-
ture act, and that his action was looked
upon as a high handed proceeding, and
he was promptly called down by the
secretary of theinterior. Commissioner
Lamoureaux appears to have the inter
ests of the homesteader at heart, but it
would be interesting to know just how
many bona fide homestead entries have
been made in the Duluth land district.
Dunn Lacks Faith.
1t is known that State Auditor Dunn
has no faith in the sincerity Of a large
number Of entries made under the
homestead and timber and stone acts
in the Duluth district, and he will, III
ell probability, keep his own special ex-
aminer in the field for the purpose of
discovering the number of Woodworking
homesteaders i'll this particular locality.
The officials here admit that there
are, no doubt, entries made by parties
who never intend to occupy the lands
as hOmesteads, but who sell them after
securing color Of title from the gov
ernment. The circular of 1886, which
is alluded to III the letter of Mr..
Lamoreaux, was promulgated under the
administration of Secretary Lamar.
1t allows the entries to be made Oh those
lands. situated as is the tract in the st.
Louis district, and then if the state lays
claim to it under the swamp land grant,
all issue is made at one and the charac-
ter of the land is decided on according
to h evidence submitted before the
local lane officials, the register and re-
ceiver. An appeal lies from their deci-
sion to the general land office, and from
the commissioner to the secretary Of the
interior.

NOT BUYING ROADS,,

The Milwaukee Doesn't Need the st.

NEW YORK, Sept. Am executive
officer Of the Milwaukee, in speaking of
the persistent rumor that the Milwaukee
was endeavoring to acquire ownership
by stock purchase Of the St. Paul and
Duluth, said: 'There is no truth in
the umor The St. Paul and Duluth is
a close connection Of the Milwaukee,
and nothing would be gained by the Mil.
waukee taking into its system the Du.
luth. To all intents and purposes the
Duluth line is Just as useful to the Mil.
waukee as if it were a part of the road
Moreover, the Milwaukee is not buying
any more railroads at present."

CAUSED A PANIC.

Whaleback Christopher Columbus Col
lides With the John A. Dix.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The steamer
John A. Dix, with a large load of ex-
~cursionists, was caught near her dock
by the stern of the whaleback Chris
topher Columbus, as the latter was
swinging around. A large hole was
torn i'll the starboard side of the Dix
above the water line, and quite a panic
ensued. The captain Of the Dix Or
dered the band, which was playing at
the time, to continue, and this, to-
gether with the efforts of the officers,
soon quieted the frightened people, some
of whom at first wanted to try to jump
into the river and make for the dock.
No one was injured.

ton without result. The convention is

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The report of
the government analysis OF cereals at
the worlds fair ut Chicago, lust issued,
comments on the remarkable dryness of
the cereal products of the country, and
says they showed a moisture Of about
eight-tenths Of one per CEN less
than those Of foreign coun-

piled by Chemist Wiley of the agricul-
tural department., and that while our

cheney in respect of nutrition, a def
cheney which, however, is so small as to
be hardly worth considering.

What of Huntley?

What of Huntley?
In the confusion and excitement no
one had thought of him, but after mat
tiers began to calm down a little his
friends began to make ANXIOUS inquiry.
He was last seen moment before the
renegade was shot The attack on the
Indians had been so sudden that many
Of them had fled on foot, and it was
hoped that those having the prisoner in
charge would leave him behind in their
panic.
A search was made for two miles
around, but no trace of the captive
could be found. Hurried as they were
the savages had managed to run him
off. When this fact became generally
known more than one man sadly shook
his head and muttered:
poor JIM Better for him if he were
lying here corpse!'
The party of soldiers and hunters were
anxious to get on, and an hour after the
fighting had ceased the wagon train
moved out of the inclosure in good
shape, and with no fear of being again
molested for days to come. Most of the
