showing that the allegations ~ the
main were absolutely false. The
attorney general stated in the con
clusion of the Investigation that he
would pay no attention to the

general was when | stated that /

would run out OF provisions, and
stationed watch on the bank Of
the Yukon to hail any passing
boat with supplies. Healy &
Hamilton's steamer came along
and supplied the camp with $4,000
worth Of grub, the miners planking
down the gold dust for the same.
Hunters creek is about IA
miles in length. The rich dis.
coveries on the Yukon this year
are the following creeks: About
200 miles below Forty Mile are
four rich creeks named Indepen-
dent, Miller, Mastodon, and Nam
moth. 1t is said that these creeks
exceed in richness the former dis
covsries on Forty Mile or Miller
creeks, The miners 30 far average
ng from ~ to 81 ouuces per day.
Some miners have taken up two
and three claims, though il u PCT
likely that more than one cap be
held, but ON account Of the great
richness OF the ground the men
are much excited. These claims
are 800 feet long and run the full
width Of the creeks, which pay the
full width. This is the reason this
creek Is go much mare vAluAbls
than others. Hundreds OF claims
just as good as those staksd out
are still open for location. Claim
operators are offering SIG . day
for men, with none to be had ct
tina. rate Of wages. Well posted
miners say there will be work for
1000 men for the next ten to fifteen
years. There is an abundance Of
water with a good fall. Bedrock
is nowhere below Ave feet below
the surface. "There is already .
beautiful towpsite located on the
banks OF the Yukon and about 100
houses in course Of construction.
The mines are about 80 miles from
here and Of course all supplies OF
every sort have to be packed there.
"No man should come to the
Yukon country with less than $500
to $500 after paying all expenses
to Forty Mile. Too much empba-
sis cannot be given this warning.
Credit for supplies is thing OF the
past and cannot be expected again
in this region.

LABOR,S LOST CAUSE.

The year 1894, which has Just
been brought to a close, was the
most disastrous period IN the his
tory of labor organizations. 1t
marked the defeat Of the coke wor-
kers in the Connellsville, Pa, dis
trict in the bloodiest and mort
stubborn strike ever inaugurated
in that troublous region, the defeat
of the United mine workers in their
strike against the operators all
over the United States and the de-
feat OF the American Railway
Union. the largest, broardest, and
best organization ever effected
among the employees OF American
railroads. Labor has to Ae credit
but one signal victory during the
past year-the concessions granted
to the American Railway Union
by President j. M. Hill, OF the
Great Northern road, the newest
of the trans continental systems.
The hard times have had more to
do with the signal decline of labor
organizations than union OF
capitalists could have accomp-
lished, aud several OF the hersto-
fore strongest orders in the labor
field have drifted close upon total
dismembermeni. This is notably
true in the case of the knights OF
Labor, which under Martin Irons
and L. V. powderly iourished as
the strongest labor union ON the
Western Hemisphere. So rapid
has been it's decline, and Its falling
off of membership has been 80
great, that its officers claim that it
can no longer offord workingmen

wages or the encroachments OF cap

FROM THE YUKON.

A correspondent writing to the

"This creek il one Of the 1894 dis

JUDGE FALL RETURNS
FROM WASHINGTON.

From the Santa Fe New Mexican.
Judge A. B. Fall returned last
night from Washington City and
is spending a few days with friends
here on bis way to Las Crucss. In
conversation with a New Mexican
representative this morning Judge
Fall said:
II left Washington Sunday night
after a very satisfactory visit there
of several days, during which !
investigated the charges brought
against me before the department
of jnstice. | found that the
charges were preferred by S. W I.
Sherfey, of Dona Ana county. An
attempt is made to sustain the
charges by number OF sfiidavits
filed by various parties. One OF
the deponents admits in the sworn
statement. he files that he is und er
indictme ent for cattle stealing, viii le
the afiidavits of the others show
them to be perjurers. One OF the
affidavit makers is party named
Brannigan, who is one of the val
IN ~
liant fifty now guarding Fort Cat
ron. | understand that Brannigan
had the promise of the position OF
sergeant at t.arms in the house.
Doubtless this promise was partly
founded on the consideration of his
making this affidavit. The charges
and affidavits were prepared by
and made before a. L.. Chrlsty, the
would be legislator who is now
under two indictments for embez-
element IN Office and against whom
there are no less than 40Q similar
charges outstanding that have not
been framed into indictments.
The charges fled accuse me OF
bulllozing the county commission
ers in their count OF the vote in
the last election; OF acting the
partisan on tAe bench and else.
where; Of admitting persons to
citizenship on insufficient showing;
OF abusing on election day my
predecessor in office, Judge J. r.

things on the same line. | had a

Others have started new enter

6tA one, but Fred has taken the
initiative in his locality. 1t ia
known to a certainty tha. all the
metal contained in the ores OF the
camp have not heretofore been
saved by mill process, and that a
considerable amount has passed cft
in the tailings which have been
carried down tue canyon for several
miles. The sluice and blanket

FAIRS FORMER PARTNER.

While great preparations are be.
ing made to bury ex Senator Fair,
and while his children are getting
ready to begin a big legal battle
for the right to handle his millions,
one of bis old partners, James M.
Walker, lies dying in poverty in
Francisco. Thirty years agoWalker
was richer than Fair, and be owned
larger interest in the famous
bonanza firm. His head was turned,
however, by his great luck, and
drink completed what misfortune
began. In ten years he had lost
his millions and was once more out
