How Work is Being Prosecuted on the
Yukon.
A correspondent writing to the Juneau
Mining Record, from Hunters Greek,
on the Yukon, says: "This creek Is one
Of the 1894 discoveries, made by Mr..
Hunter about the middle of July. The
stream is about $50 miles above the
mouth of the Tananoh River and 100
miles below the mouth Of Forty Mile
Fourteen white men are there working
on the bars with very good success. Ihe
bedrock so far as known is from three
to SIX feet under surface. The miners
have averaged from one to one and one
half ounces per day. and Of course their
pay VIII increase as they get their
claims opened up.
During the summer the miners be
came alarmed, fearing they would run
out of provisions. and stationed watch
on the bank of the Yukon to hail any
passing boat with supplies. Healy X
Hamilton'S steamer came along and
supplied the camp with $1,000 worth of
grub. the miners planking down the
gold dust for the same.
"Hunter's Creek Is about fourteen
miles in length. The rich discoveries
on the Yukon this year are the following
creeks: About 200 miles below Forty
Mile are four rich creeks named lnde-
pendent, Miller. Mastadon and Nam

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

others Hundreds of claims just as

TELLER ON THE SITUATION.
Speaks in Favor Of tho Income Tax

Law.
Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Senate
galleries were fairly well filed to-day
in anticipation of q speech by Senator
German on the currency question, in
which 1t was thought he would pro-
pose some solution OF the r.oblem from
a Senate standpoint. 1t was expected
also that Senator Quay of Pennsylva-
MIA would speak, as he had spread be-
fore him on his desk roll of manu-
script which looked like the formidable
and carefully prepared speeches for
which he is noted.
Senator Wilson Of Iowa appeared on
the floor for the first time this session
after long illness. Governor Foster
of Louisiana was also on the floor, be-
Ing introduced by Senator Blanchard
When the routine business was out
Of the way Mr.. Cockrell called up the
urgency deficiency bill.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado then ad-
dressed the Senate In support of a con-
tnuance of the income tax. He point
ed to the large treasury deficits which
had been temporarily met by bond is
sues. The gold supply was down to
SIT 100000 and was rapidly disappear
ing. Any proposition to do away with
the income tax, therefore, should be ac-
companicd by a plan to raise the reve-
nues of the government required. Mr.
Teller gave 1t as his opinion that the in
come tax should become permanent,
even though it was limited to five years
by the present law. He believed ii was
such an equitable tax that the people
would insist upon its continuance.
Import duties could not be put so
high as to entirely keep out goods. And
without these high duties there was
certain to be a deficit in revenue. 1t
WAS essential, therefore. that some mid
die course should be adopted and the
Income tax was the most just means Of
taking this course. Mr.. Teller spoke
OF the vain and fruitlcss efforts of the
executive branch of the government
.'to do something TO relieve the pres
cnt distress Of the government and the
people
1T shows" said the senator, that
the executive branch Is in the wrong
hands" Mr.. Teller spoke caustically
OF III" scheme of banking coming from
the treasury department. He referred
to the current reports that the bill had
been jotted OF in 30 minutes to n stem

coming rs II does from such high
sources. but II such measure came
from any senator or member. II 1t came
from any POpulist. 1t would be brand
cd as the height OF lunacy."
Mr.. Teller declared that the cur
rcncy bill proposed to inauGurate tn"
old era Of wild cat paper. 1t violated
every principle of finance in this coun-
try or any other. Mr.. Teller ridiculed
the talk about an 'clastic and ficxi-
Bile" currency. when banking corpora
tions had charge OF the elasticity.
There are about six weeks remain
ing in this Congress said Mr. Teller
Now. does any person seriously be
ii"vc that n revision Of the vast cur
rency system can he accomplished In
that time: Why then is Congress
and the country stirred by these fran
tic appeals from III" trcasury?'
The senator argued that 1t was time
the executive authorities stopped what
he characterized as frantic demon
stration OF fright"

Some of the farmers in the country
around Shirley, and the vicinity of Elmer,
think they have been made the victims
of a smart swindler. Some fellows
claiming TO represent Chicago Company,
have been going through the country
selling $50 range. The way they would
work seems to have been to leave the
range with a farmer either on trial or to
be called for at some other time.
In order that there might be no mis-
take as to getting the range when called
for the party with whom the range was
left was required to sign receipt show
ing where the range had been left. This
they signed in two places
1t turns out that the receipt was a
contract, and that the second place where
signed was a note of hand. OF course
the range will not be called for but note
is expected to turn up at some future

THE CHICKEN THIEVES.
They are Given a Hearing by Justice E. VI.
Appelgate.


The court room Monday presented
an appearance usually seen on regular
Court term occasions. The Facemair
family, of Lawrence township, We're
there and all charged with being in the
business of robbing hen roosts.
Wentzell, Joseph and William were
charged with three different robberies,
and the witnesses produced such evidence
that seemed to the Justice conclusive.
Attorney Ogden Burt was present in
the interests of the defendants, and while
he did everything possible for the clients
by whom he was employed, he could not
in any way behttle the evidence pre-
sented.
After all the testimony had been pro-
duced the Mayor held the three defend
ants in $500 bail each for their appearance
at Court.
Mrs. Bertha Facemair was afterwards
given hearing, and held in $500 bail for
receiving stolen goods.
Since the hearing Jennie Burns and AL.
Facemair have been arrested on charge
of stealing chickens, and are in Jail in de-
fault of bail, awaiting hearing.

ter months; his teaching was after the
good old order, thorough and well illus
trated and impressed with the birch.

some of them received the solid founda-
ton of splendid education from him.

Tuesday. 1t bit several dogs, and is also
reported to have bitten and terribly la
cerated the leg of little girl by the name
of Johnson, daughter of Albert John

happened at the school yard just after ii
had been dismissed for noon, and created
much excitement.

@. E. POLITICS.
Clarke.

A Ringing Note From MIR. Clarke.
Speaking of the Christian Endeavor
Society article by Mr.. Clarke in a maya
zine of late date, the Jersey City Journal
says: "The great need of this country at
present is a better citizenship, purer
political atmosphere, and this, according
to Mr.. Clarke, has been the ringing key
note which has struck at every one of the
last three conventions other notes
have been sounded at the convention
but none more predominantly than this
note of good citizenship.
1t is but logical that in carrying out
this idea the Christian Endeavors should
turn their eyes toward politics, and es-
pecially toward municipal politics, where
their influence in securing the nomina-
ton of proper men for office may become
potent. 1t is not the men alone who are
interested in this movement for good
citizenship and purer politics, for the
women, too, are to be taken into account.
and the influence they will exert will not
be very much less than that exerted by
those who possess the right to vote.
That the fairer sex meant to do their part,
was well illustrated by the remark of a
young lady delegate at the Boston Con-
vention, who said: If / cannot vote my
self, 1 can have voter, and will do my
utmost to see that he votes right, on all
moral questions.' Her sentiment was
heartily applauded."
