 and twelve thousand dollars in belt
 around his body. The fact that sannp- son had the gold on his person was
 known to MT. Clark and few others
 only, and it has never been published.
 Clark and Sampson were miners to-
 gether on the Yukon river In Alaska.
 The mining claim wds a rich one ana was known In the Yukon district as the Three to One. + was so called because the party that mined and owned 1t was composed of three white men ana Chinese. They returned to Victoria to spend the first winter After taking out about five thousand dollars apiece in poId. and the next spring when they went back to open up the mine again they found that the floods had swept away all their machinery and they would have to spend considerable part of the season in making and put ting In new machinery to handle the placer deposits. Sampson became dis couraged. and he sold his share in the diggings to his partners for about five thousand dollars and returned to Victo- ria, The Three to One made money that season the same as the season be- fore.
 Shortly after Sampson returned to Victoria he shipped on the steamer Pa cific. intending to go to San Francisco, He put the gold in a belt around his body, as was the custom in those days. The raft on which he and Henley float ed was in reality chicken coop, Sampson felt he could not last much longer in the heavy sea; which rolled the coop fearfully, and lie begged Hen ley to take the gold. The latter, feel ing that he would never live to set foot on shore again refused to take the belt, and down it went with poor Sampson to the bottom of the sea. Henley was soon picked up. The next day, though, he regretted the loss of his companion on the chicken coop. He also deplored that he had not taken the proffered Delt, with its burden of gold.-Tacoma News.

The Dangers of stamp Collecting.

According to Dr. Unna, a der motologist in Vienna, the physical re- suits are infinitely more terrible in their possibilities.

 New York, June 27,-Chicago Gas closed at 71 yesterday To-day sales were made as low as 63% and 63,900 shares of the stock were traded in.

Republicans In Iron County Elect
Their School Commissioner.
Treachery Rebuked.

The result OF the balloting for Justice
OF the Supreme court and university
regents Monday added one more to the
Republican victories in this state, and
evidenced Iron county's loyalty 10 the
g. o. p. Complete returns from the west
end OF the county have not yet been re-
ceived, but enough Is known TO insure
healthy Republican majority.
One thing worthy OF note in Iron
county politics is that Iron River, here
toiore the one Democratic town In the
county, went Republican by a vote OF
l04 to ninety-eight. Six majority may
seem a small one to crow over, but when
compared to the vote for governor last
TALL, when Iron River went Democratic
by a vote of163 to ninety-flve, Mondays
vote shows a considerable change for the
better in the political condition OF Iron
River. The result OF the election in that
town was scathing rebuke to the
treachery OF Paddy 0'Brien and few
other Iron Riverites who endeavored tn
split the Republican vote of the county.
Thomas Conlin, the Republican caudi-
date for county commissioner OF schools
was elected by II majority OF about fifty
votes, though Hugh j. McLarn, Demo-
cratic candidate for county road com
missioner, defeated his Republican
opponent.
The vote on state officers was much
lighter throughout the state than that
oilast fall, hut light as il Is IL reveals the
fact that Republicans have more than
held their own. The figures given below
are partly from returns and partly from
estimation, though there is little doubt
that Judge Moore's plurality win he
greater even than was expected. The
Republican candidates for regents OF the
university, Messrs. Butterneld and
Hacklsy, are elected by maiortes not
greatly varying from that given Judge
Moore. The vote OF the different coun-
ties, as near as can be learned thus far,
stands as follows:
