GOLD FROM KLoNDYKE.
Samples of It Sent From Alaska to
Salt Lake City Residents.

A L. Morris, manager of the Bea-
yer Lake Copper company, is in pos
session of a phial of gold nuggets from
the Klondyke placer diggings which
was sent to him by friend who is at
Dawson City, and who has a claim on
the rich auriferous belt that is just
now creating such an excitement the
world over.
This gentleman, Charles E. Lawson
by name, a former resident of Eliza
BEETHOVEN, Ills, former schoolmate
of Mr.. Morris, left his home in June of
last year, and has seemingly struck it
rich, as he writes to Mr.. Morris that
he has been able to corral all of SOS, 900
in gold, and that he worked alone and
unassisted.
His description of the country cor
responds with that sent out by the AS
ISOLATED Press, and he states that his
nodus operandi was to thaw the
gravel with fire and then pan out the
gold. and with better facilities he
could have taken out a million as well
as d quarter of this sum.
In the letter Mr.. Lawson stated that
there are many opportunities in Klon-
dyke, but that the prospector and
miner must be willing to put up with
severe hardships, and they would find
them as thick as bees in May He eX-
poets to return home this fall as he
states that he does not care to put in
another winter in that country.

derance as there is this season is all
the bears have to sell wheat on. What
good use they can make of a poor
weapon was seen in the decline which
occurred about an hour and half
from the start. The price of Septem-
Der dropped at that period of the ses-
sion to 1855. and July, which sold as
high as II, fell to 75$l. The market was
steadied at the decline by New York
kilograms, saying % boat loads offered
to the continent had been accepted. ST.
Louis wired to the same effect, an eX-
port house there reporting all accepted
they had offered to the continent. Re
ports from the northwest were more
hopeful about spring wheat prospects.
A message from North Dakota said the
water in the fields was fast disappear
ing. and with prospects improving
The Price Current estimated the spring
wheat crop at DIS. 100000 bushels, and
the winter at 925. 600 coo bushels, max
ing a total of $50, 600 900 bushels.
New York increased the quantity
taken for export TO go boat loads. The
buying fever broke out afresh and the
high price of the session was paid near
the close An advance of &c at St
Louis and some very bullish messages
from that point were talked of during
the closing half of the session Sep
TENDER opened &c. higher at 1874, sold
at 1872, off to 72ss, rallied slowly TO I0%,
closing at 1885 bid.
Corn opened firm, with wheat, and
gained strength, closing Zee higher than
the opening.
The market for oats was without i'm
portant features.
Provisions were firm on a very mod

Rad wreck on the Bic -Four.

Cleveland, o.. July 2s.-One man was
probably killed and several injured in
a wreck on the Big Four road near
Bereau this afternoon. A switch en-
CINE used for handling cars in the
quarry yards backed on the main track
and came in collision with a through
freight. The engineer of the switch

thought to be dead. Conductor ]. B.

THE GEYsER-MARIoN DEAL.
Big Block of the Stock Purchased by
James &. Pollock.


What is considered as being the lar
gest deal on the curb for several
months past was consummated yester-
day when Broker James A. Pollock, for
eastern clients and himself, purchased
the remaining interests of Theodore
Bruback, Colonel S. I. Pierson and the
Scannell estate in the Gevser- Marion
company at the ruling quotations at
which this security has been selling for
the past week, and while the exact
amount of stock included in the deal
was not made public, it is understood
that the transaction involved the trans
fer of from $4,000 to $4,000.
The Geyser-Marion has been one of
the most active stocks on the market
for sometime past, ard it is stated on
good authority that the condition or
the mine well justifies the demand,
which has not been confined TO Salt
Lake buyers, as there has been an ex-
cellent market for these shares in the
east.
Utah gold stocks have good stand
ing abroad, as we'll as at home, and it
is believed that during the coming fall
and winter the sales of this class OF
securities will more than double in
volume.

WALTERS CLAIMS.
Up to Date It All Looks Like
RumOr

Washington, July 2s.-Touching the
statement that John Waller is going
to London TO exploit his concession
from the Madagascar government upon
a decision of the state department as
to it's validity, it is learned that the
department has not, up to this time,
undertaken to pass upon the matter
There has been some correspondence
on the subject, but in the absence Of
any evidence that the French govern
ment, which now controls Madagascar,
has denied any of Walters claimed
rights to the concession, the depart
ment has not been able TO take up the
case The general principle of interna-.
tional law is as stated in the letter Of
the department, portion only of which
was published. but much depends upon
the conditions of the concession and
the execution of it's provisions.

WATERBURY FLOODED.
Waters Higher Than They Have Been
for Years

waterbury, Conn.,. July 29.-Water-
bury is again deluged, the storm of last
night having swollen the Naugatuck
river to an almost unprecedented height
and caused the Manhan river to over
flow. The Naugatuck has overlooked
its banks, and the waters are now
higher than for years. The Manhan
canal became a torrent and its waters
have carried away about 80 feet of the
track of the New York, New Haven &
Hartford Railroad company, completely
blocking traffic. The Young Mems
Christian association park is flooded.
Great Brook is still within its Confines
but Little Brook is again on the ramp
age and cellars in the center of the
city are flooded.

Washington, July 29.-The incident
at Monterey, Cal, on the Fourth of

settlement. A report has been re-

the governor of California upon the

This report shows that the affair was
the work of some irresponsible person

suit. With a proper expression of re-

The theme last night was 1.-THE I'm

plainly that the man who grieved away
the Holy Spirit by wicked life until his
conscience was hardened and he no longer
felt on the subject of religion, had COM
mitted the objectionable sin-the sin
against the Holy Spirit.
The house was full and the interest pro

after the benediction, to confess Christ.
The ordinance was administered to sew
en- young converts before the sermon.

MAN AND MONEY GONE.
A Deputy Sheriff Is Now Looking for a
Demented Person Whom He
Had in Charge.

Deputy Sheriff D. c. Austin, of Scots

a man he had in his custody, all at one
time Saturday night. He was ON his way
to Tuscaloosa to place the man in the in
sane hospital for treatment and stopped
Off in Birmingham so that he could ar
rive at his destination during the day
time.
A room was engaged by Austin at the
Metropolitan for himself and T. d.
Mount, the alleged insane patient. When
they retired, after leaving their railroad
tickets from here to Tuscaloosa with the
night clerk, Austin locked the door and
removed the key.
Sometime during the night Mount got
up and went through Austin's clothes,
taking everything of value and then left
the hotel. No one saw him leave and his
whereabouts is unknown.
Sunday morning Austin awoke and
found himself penniless and minus his
man. He Immediately went in search of
Mount, and had not returned to the hotel
since, up to late Monday night. The
case is a puzzling one in many respects.
and no effort will be spared to find
Mount before he does himself some per-
sonal injury or harms some one. else.
