Is. Amiss, ir., and Vergie Brown The
prize calisthenlic drill between sections

News Brought Back by the
Steamer Albion
RICH STRIKES ARE REPORTED
By Miners Who Have Wintered in the
North
Coal Bay Prospectors Report Finds That VIII
Put the Famous comstock Lode
In the Shads
Associated Press Special Wire.

Associated Press Special Wire.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, May 49,
The steam schooner Albion Captain
Lunguist, who recently took a party of
tourists and miners from San Francisco
to Cooks Inlet, Alaska, arrived from the
north on her return trip today The
Albion's trip was uneventful both going
and returning, and nothing of interest
happened to relieve the monotony of
life aboard the thoroughly seaworthy
steamer which kept forging ahead de-
spite the variable winds. Aboard the
Albion as passengers were H. Pennock
and DR.. Waller, members of the party
which took the steamer Excelsior, the
first vessel to arrive as far north as it
was possible to go on account of heavy
ice. Her colony was the first to land
at Coal bay, which has since jumped
into prominence on account of the re-
markable finds of coal and gold which
have been made there in the desultory
prospecting that has been done by men
while waiting the opening of naVlga-
ton to permit them to proceed to their
destination. In consequence of the dis
coveries many of the men who were
bound for Six Mile creek have determ-
ined to remain at Coal bay. where they
expect to meet with equal luck to that
which will be the portion of their more
venturesome neighbors. The place where
the men are encamped is pleasant
spot. entirely clear of winter. Four miles
away. however, there are glaciers and
perpetual snow that give the country
chilly aspect, while the Excelsior party
has thus far experienced no inconVen-
fence from the weather.
1t was told the men that during the
past winter the thermometer has been
10 deg. below zero, but this can hardly
be believed by those who are now en-
jcying the pleasant atmosphere. Mr.
Pennock who was one of the directors
and moving spirits of the Excelsior party
is enthusiastic with the luck he met with
in the north and came back to civiliza-
ton to purchase sufficient supplies to
keep the party at Coal bay for couple
of years.
LAS to the other sections of the coun-
try said M Pennocll today. Il have
nothing to say. but if we have not struck
patch that will put the famous Com
stock wealth in the shade, then l miss
my reckoning. We have located limit
less number of prospects, and if there is
a square yard of earth within its boun-
diaries that will not yield a dollar. then
I'll confess to an untruth and give the
fellow who catches me $1,000. The noun
tain has been figured out to pan So to
the square yard, and we have miles and
miles of it in our own. 1t is easy to see
that we will all make our fortunes out
of it, That the entire country is rich
there is not the slightest doubt. but
man to go there must take his chances
and should not think of venturing with
out first providing himself with first
class outfit, together with sufficient
ready money to maintain himself while
there. and, more important, to pay his
fare home again should he not succeed

Cleveland appoint as commissioners.
These names will be presented to full

convention of the latter body. The Sc

miners has been left to the executive
committee. Congress and the state
legislatures will be asked for aid in the

to establish and maintain an institution
in some suitable locality to be known as
