ing miners of Davies, Pike and Gibson
counties have taken the marching
fever, and Tuesday a movement began
in which they will attempt to close
every coal mine in Southern Indiana
The march began among the Davies
county miners. They invaded Pike
county Tuesday and have closed the
mine at Rodgers and the Wooley mine
at Petersburg.
1t is reported here that the strikers
entered the Wooley mine and drove
the men at work out like cattle.
1t is the intention of the strikers to
close the Carbon and Ayrshire mines
east of Oakland CiSy, but it is feared
that they will encounter trouble at
Ayrshire, as the men there are de ter
mined to work.
The strikers threatened To seize a
Louisville ~ ST Louis Airline freight
train Tuesday night and take il To
Hunting burg, where they will call the
men out They will then go down the
Evansville branch ON the Airline
and close all the mines in Warrick,

CHICAGO, Aug, q. Claim jumping,
bloody fighting and a general reign of
lawlessness are feared in the Alaskan
mining fields this winter and next
spring, as the result OF u laxity of law
and general in fiux of adventurers and
prospectors, such as are now crowding
the hlondyke region. H. II. Ware, of
the North American Transportation
Co, predicts that. in case of the discov-
cry of "A big strike in American terri
tory during this fall or winter, law
lessness will surely break out during
the inevitable rush for claims. Mr..
Ware has informed the war depart
ment of his fears, and has asked that
the sending of troops be considered
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. "a letter
received here from ID. j. Mckinney,
who sailed from Dyea, July 90, saws
that many of those then at White
Pass we're not supplied with food
enough to last them half way to the
klondykc. Six men had three months
supplies and $50 each. Eight had no
supplies at all and very little money.
Men will be murdered for refusing
food To those who have gone to the
country without enough food to last
them and trusting to luck to get
through the winter
Upward of 1000 persons will be on
their way to the gold fields 10y both
routes by the end of this week, and
the streams show no signs Of lessen

TO The KLONDYKE.
New. short and Easy Route via the
Mouth of the Cooper River.

Mouth of the Cooper River
NEW YORK, Aug "A special TO the
Herald from Washington says:
There Is short and easy route to the
rich gold fields of the Klondyke. ac-
cording To "A communication TO the in
terror department from j. G.. G. Lewis.
a civil engineer of Salem, ore. who
says he can open up at small ex-
pense route from the mouth of the
Cooper river. bv which the Klondyke
may be reached by journey of not
much more than three hundred miles
from the coast
The route which be proposes would
start inland from the mouth of the
Cooper river, near the Miles Glacier.
about p miles east of the entrance to
Prince Williams sound. lie declares
the Cooper river is navigablc for small
steamers for many miles beyond the
mouth Gifts principal eastern tributary,
called on the latest maps the Chillyna
river, which Is itself navigable for a
considerable distance
From the head of navigation on the
Chillyna, Mr. Lewis SAYS. either high
way or railroad could be constructed
without great difficulty or very heavy
grades, through what the natives call
the Low Pass, probably the Scoloi
Pass From this pass the road would
follow the valley OF the White river to
the point where it empties into the
Yukon on the edge of the Klondyke
gold fields.
George +. Becker, in an unpublished
report made to the geological survey
of his investigation OF 1895 OF the
coastal gold districts. says that most
of the islands of the Alexander archi-
pe4ago contain gold deposits, yet I'M
worked, that would probably repay
very handsomely well directed efforts
of placer mining. There are depos-
its in the neigh borhood of Sitka, and
generally on Baroncff and Admiralty
islands and the beaches of the ada
cent mainland Another promising
region is in group of deposits
on the kenai peninsula, on the south
east shore of Cook inlet and at Yaku.
tat bay and the beaches of Kadiak
island These regions have as yet
been explored only to IA limited de.
gree owing TO the unfavorable physical
condition % the coast.
