ner of n Great Trade.

NJ. n. Knuppenburg. representing the
growers of Yakima, is in the city. bound
for Alaska, with a shipment of fruit
which he proposes to introduce INTO the
trade of that country. The first con-
signment is necessarily small but it may
be the means of starting a traffic that
will bring thousands of dollars. in in
creased prices to the pockets of the grow

sists principally of peaches. but in order
10 test the whole fruit demand. some
pears. apples and plums, and outer and

taken along.

by. am sure OF great success" said Mr..
Knuppenburg yesterday. Il have been
travelling for the past three weeks in the
Sound country and Gray's Harbor. and
have found that our supply Is not equal
to tho demand at this time. Later in
the season we cannot have this difficulty
and the new venture IS 70 try 10 get bet
ter prices rather than a larger field
This initial cargo will leave this port
Saturday morning on the steamer Chill

people q very advantageous rate. and
the prospects of that steamer getting the

Mr. Atkinson. during his long term Of

nfgce. as a rule. is held by the storekeep-
er for the Oregon Improvement, Company.
and IL was while in that position that Mr..
Atkinson received the appointment. which
he held until he was transferred to Frank

deputy, who was also his successor at the
sso4upa MS store, and recommended the
man as his successor. Before the new
mans bond was arranged he was succeed

Mr.. Atkinson's deputy. So the tedious
process went on, thanks to the slowness

might come and deputies might go, but
Atkinson went on indefinitely. much
against his will. The office rates about
number Il. and is said 10 be worth as
much as $40 month.

Gold From the Yukon.

Helena Herald.
The largest lot of gold dust ever
brought 10 Helena in one shipment was
that received by the American National
bank. from Alaska. The dust was con-
tanned in thirteen sacks. AS weighed in
the sacks il tipped the beam at S.2l5
ounces. At the assay office mere, where
all the dust was poured out into enc large
scale, il weighed S.1T0.S1 ounces. IL was
all coarse gold. containing many nuggets
of from a few pennyweights TO nearly
half an ounce. Cast into one bar Il would
have made more solid gold than has been
seen in Helena since the celebrated bar
cast for the Worlds fair. None of The
furnaces now in use at the assay office
are capable of holding a crucible big
enough 10 melt the entire shipment in.
Besides the mint at Philadelphia. 10
which the gold bars are shipped from the
assay office here, does not like them so
heavy So the gold was poured into
three bars, two CT 1.es5.76 ounces each
and the other of l,93S.S ounces. IT was
very fine gold. all of il. running as high
as ST an ounce. The value OF the three
pars is estimated to be about $4,000.
The bars will probably be put IN exhi-
