Lease and Bond Obtained on Nalu-
able Alta. Properties.
A deal was consurnunated yesterday
whereby ]. r. Slater secured a lease
and bond on the Balance, Shenandoah,
Alberta, Josephine and Leonfine min
ing claims at Alta, in Little Cotton
wood mining district, adjoining the IA
nous old Flagstaff and Emma mines,
which have produced $24, 000, 900 in the
precious metals.
c. z. Hudson is associated with Mr.
Slater in this enterprise, and already
they have sent out a, full line of pro-
visions and supplies with the intention
of pushing development work on the
property, on which there is a. 257-fooe
tunnel from which a. drift has been run
On a cross vein. in the face OF which
there is a six or eight inch body Of ore
that assays "A per cent. lead. 264 ounces
silver, and $40 in gold to the ton. and
it is believed that this drift, in thirty
feet more, will break into the main
ore chute of the great Flagstaff ledge.
Mention has already been made in
these columns concerning the success
that has crowned the efforts of H J.
Dieter and J. A. Taylor in opening up
new workings on the Marion Consolid-
ated ground. These gentlemen found

SEAL HERDS.
Commissioner Townsend Speaks of
the Work Accomplished and Sug-
gestS "a Few Ideas.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept Mr.. C.
Fl. Townsend, a member of the United
States fish commission, returned from
Ounnalas4za last evening. Speaking of
the work accomplished by the mixed
commission, and the condition of the
seal herds, Mr. Townsend said:
DR.. Jordan, the leader of the joint
commission, asked me to say to any
newspaper man that he knows of no
other cause 50 potent in the destruction
OF great seal herd as pelagic, or
ocean sealing.
THE Bering sea was thrown open in
1894 and thirty-eight vessels entered
and got 81, 900 skins. In 1895, fifty-seven
vessels went in and took over 10000
skins. This year there are seventy yes
sells in Bering Sea, but they will not
get more than 10000 seals. They are
bound to make a light catch simply be-
cause there are not seals enough The
catch of the thirty vessels boarded be-
tween August 10 and %, amounted to
$500 skins, and that is for about half
of the fleet at the very middle of the
season.
The rookeries look bad and pups are
already beginning to die, because their
mothers have been killed while outside
the sixty-nile limit hunting fish and
preparing to return to the rookeries to
Suokle the pups for four or five days,
before going out again. The average
catch for each vessel is yearly decreas-
ing. This year it will be 200 skins a
vessel smaller than in 1895. There was
a light catch this year on the Japan
coast. 1t amounted probably, to $4,000
skins. I do not think any more profit
able catches will be made off that coast
1.-The Pribilof group of islands north of
the Alaskan archipelago is the great
breeding ground of the American herd
of seal; the Commander group of is
lands near Kamtichatka, on the Asfat-
ic side, is the breeding ground for the
seal herd of that coast. The seals from
both these great rookeries migrate
southwark in summer without mingling
and spread over great areas of ocean.
The Asiatic herd gets as far south as
Yokohama, the American herd as far
south as Santa Barbara.
'Russia's thirty-mile limit and Amer
ica's sixty-mile limit about the rocker
les is ineffectual in preventing the ex-
termination of the seals. The United
States could forbid any Of its vessels
to engage in pelagic sealing, but Can
ada might persist in claiming rights in
the open sea. If Canada has rights it
would pay our government to buy

! NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Journal
Examiner bicycle relay race, which be-
gan in San Francisco at noon on Aug.
/ %, arrived in front of the Journal office
on Park row in this city, at 3:29:O4 LIS

race was thirteen days, twenty-nine
minutes four and one-fifth seconds.
The pouch which has come across the
country contained two letters, one adj
dressed to Postmaster Dayton from the
postoffice department in San Francisco,
the other from Colonel Schaeffer, adj
dressed to the major general in COM
mand of the department of the east at
Governors island.
E. E. Boffinger received the pouch at
Yonkers at 2:23 p. m. and Immediately
started for Kingsbridge, accompanied
by several local riders. AT Kingsbridge
Fred j. Titus, of the Riverside wheel
men, who holds the ten mile record, re-
ceived the pouch and together with o.
5. Brandt, of the same club, they start
ed the last relay of the race. Coming
through Kingsbridge they were accom-
panied by 100 cyclists, while Messrs.
Mulloy and Saunderson on a tandem
geared to 123 started to pace the riders.
They had not gone far, however, when
the relay riders left them in the rear.
At washington bridge, Brandt s
wheel broke down and ne was COM
PEELED to borrow one from a member
of the party. The route through the
city was from Washington bridge down
ST. Nicholas avenue to the boulevard
to Seventy-Gecond street, down Broad
way to City Hall Park and over to the
Journal Office.
All along the line crowds of wheel
men were waiting for the riders to pass
and Joined in the party that followed,
but they were soon distanced, and
When the two riders reached their des-
tination there were only seven follow
ers.
On the stand erected in front of the
Journal office were Postmaster Dayton,
A. R. Grant, who had charge of the
race and started the first rider at San
Francisco, and w. R. Hearst, proprie-
tor of the San Francisco Examiner and
New York Journal
The pouch was opened by Postmaster
Dayton while the crowd in front of the
Office shouted and cheered. The letter
addressed to him was found in a linen
envelope which was covered with sig
natures and postmarks of the postmas-
tiers of the cities through which the
pouch was carried. The postmaster
opened the letter and found that it con-
tanned formal announcement of the
riders leaving San Francisco for the
purpose of establishing a record.
The letter which is to so to Cover
nor's island will be delivered tomor-
row morning at o'clock.

Harvard began systematic summer
work in 1869. Some of the schools are

Although there is nothing Of special
Importance TO chronicle in the mining
industry this week, says the Inter
Mountain, of Butte, Montana, the fact
that all the big mines and smelters of
the district are running to their full
capacity and promise to do so without
a break for a long time, is a matter of
satisfaction to every resident of the
district. The numerous improvements
now being made at the copper proper
ties justify the belief that the future Of
Butte will be even more prosperous
than in the past.
The mining men Of the district were
never more active than at present.
The gold districts in the vicinity Of
Butte are receiving a great deal of
attention and the Homestake, Beef
Straight and Whitehall districts are be-
ing searched for bonanzas by Butte
mining men since the recent deals in
those districts we're consummated. At

of the rich ore body which has been
found on the surface.

NEW YORK, Sept Two more ven

an effort to beat the record of hazard

foot craft, with a lego mutton sail and
two small jibs, was sighted about two
weeks ago, rocking in the waves, bot
tom I'D, about $50 miles off the Iris,1
coast, and it is simply a guess as TO
whether the two men who were aboard
of her were picked up by a passing YES
sci or tumbled into the deep.
The daring sailors were Captain Frank
Charlsen, formerly a mate on John
Jacob Astor's yatcht the Yourmelaln
and his brother John They were Nor
wegians by BIRTH but became American
Nyack, whence they sailed away in the
little craft that few men would care
to board for a voyage to the mouth OF
Shrewsbury river.
The Sozodont was just twenty feet
ever all, with six feet eight inches
beam, and drew twenty-six inches OF
water She was double-jointed and sup
piled with an air chamber at each end,
supposed to make her unsuitable. She
had a ISslvy lead keel. devised to keep
her right side up in any kind Of weather
and for propelling power she had two
pairs of oars and carried a small main
sail, jib and flying jib.
The Charlsens left this port in their
little craft Sunday, June u, announcing
that they would make Queenstown as
the first port, and that then the course
would be to Isle Of wight, Sou+na mpton,
London, Hamburg, Bremen, Copenhag-

to arrive and be greeted as heroes in
the summer of 1897.
