GREAT CONSPIRACY.

Scheme to Rob the Insurance Com
panies.
New York. July 19.-The Journal
and Advertiser says:
W. D. Robinson of Meridian, Miss.
has been in the city several days in
consultation with the officials of some
of the principal life insurance COM
panies. His object is to bring to light
the facts in a conspiracy to defraud
insurance companies by insuring in
valids and decrepits, and when dis
ease failed to hasten the death of the
victims by means of poison.
The scene OF the conspiracy is said
TO be laid in Kemper county, MissiS-
sippi. Mr.. Robinson estimates the
dealing of the conspiracy:
Policies in which the members ap-
Deared as beneficiaries. 100; number
who died by disease, 80: number who
died by poison, u; number whose lives
were attempted, 10: cancelled, 60;
amount cleared and divided by the
nlotters. $4,000; still TO be paid and
divided, $4,000.
In this connection the Journal and
Advertiser reviews the operations OF
mr. w H Lipscomb OF ScOoba, Miss,
nov under sentence of death for the
murder of H. C. Stewart; Guy Jack, a
mississippi merchant, indicted for
murder by the grand jury and out on

MILLION AND A HALF.
Treasure Estimated to Have Been
Brought By the Portland.


Seattle, Wash. July 19.-The amount
of treasure brought down from the
famed Clondyke by the steamship Port
land is now placed. at Sl.500,000. and
there is good reason to believe that the
sum was nearer to $2,000,000. IN this
connection something in the nature of
confidence game appears to have been
worked on the North American Trading
and Transportation company, or its Of
ficials in charge of the Portland by the
miners.
Each man was required to place his
gold dust in the ships safe, but this
was not done by any means Many of
the miners secreted their dust in
blankets and luggage, which were
taken either to their staterooms or
thrown careiessly about the ship.
Clarence ]. Berry. one of the Clon-
dyke kings, brought down at least
$4,000 in nuggets, not a cent of which
the Portland had any record. The
statement is made on the authority of
Captain William Kidson, the master of
the vessel. When pressed for an es-
innate as TO the total of the Portland's
gold cargo. Kidson said it was no doubt
nearer 81. 500.e0t than the amount ac-
counted for in the ships record.
At present only miners laws rule the
camp. but next year Dawson City will
be Incorporated and municipal officers
elected. The miners are determined on
one thing. however, namely, that order
will be preserved at all hazards. No
surething gamblers will be permitted
in either Dawson City or the diggings.
Information comes from Juneau to
the effect that several rich strikes have

1t is thought likely that many of the

the possible production of the new gold
country had been greatly exaggerated
for the benefit of the transportation
companies and local supply companies
Senator Allison. when asked about
the situation, said: If the product Of
gold in Alaska is really enormous, It
would, of course, tend TO approximate
the value Of gold and silver, bur the
output would have to be unprecedented
TO have much effect, for our output OF
gold is very large, you must remem-
ber.''
Another authority said without hest
tation that there could be no possible
effect upon the monetary situation I'M
less the discoveries of gold were so
stupendous as to take gold out OF the
list of precious metals. He explained
the situation by saying: speaking
in round numbers, the gold product OF
the world from the discovery of
America until now is about SS,OO0,o eO.-
00O The actual coinage of gold now
amounts TO about S4.j00,0O 600. There
are $1,000 0G0, 600 approximately used In
the arts, but obtainable for coinage
purposes Therefore, it will be seen
that there is about 5000. 100000 worth
of gold in the world. From the in
formation of the government 10 CHRIST
mas, 1884 the entire pIOduG1loH u tHS
United States has been two billion. The
highest rate of production in any one
,year was Sc, 600 900 in 1853, following
the discovery of gold in California
For the year 1894, the United States,
Africa and Australia were about on a
par in their gold production, eacn
representing about 0,C0O 600. II
Alaska goes as well any time within the
next ten years, L will be extraordinary
That would be about ] per cent OF the
present gold coinage, and a SUI
smaller proportion of our present gold
stock. The difficulty in expecting any
change in the ratio between gold and
silver from new fields like Alaska is
that the production of gold and silver
by weight is so disproportionate that
il would take mountains of gold TO
make up the difference. The GOLD pro-
duction of 1894 for the whole world was
less than 1900. 900 ounces. The United
States alone, the same year produced
10000. 900 ounces of silver and the
worlds product Of the white metal was
over four times that amount or ~
times as much silver as gold, weight

much of a gold field as South Africa

Wages" Made By the Miners In
Clondyke-Fiction Not In Tt.

San Diego. CAL, July 19.-An inter-
esting letter telling of the recent trip
of the steamer Excelsior to Alaska has
been written by Captain j. F. Hig-
gins of the steamer 10 a friend in this
city. He says:
The word Clondyke means deer river

tailed and positive, makes it impossi-
Bile for me TO accept the repeated an
nouncement that the Yukon runs over
a bed of virgin gold. AS a matter of
fact, some persons have struck fairly
rich placers in the Yukon district But
the large majority of the goldseekers
in that barren country have been
stranded. There is only a placer yield
for this section. No quartz has been
discovered-not fragment. OF course,
it is fed out and worn out during ages
from the mountains and indicates the
existence of rich quartz deposits. Along
the coast conditions are different. There
we have the quartz mines Douglas is

STORIES CONFIRMED.
Fields Will Yield Largely In Excess
of Present Roseate Indications.

New York. July 19.-The World says:
Daniel Guggenheim, of the firm OF
Guggenheim & Sons, who has large
smelling interests, when seen at his
Long Branch cottage, confirmed the
reported discovery in the Yukon
country and said that the new fields
would yield far in excess of even the
present rosea,e indications.
For some time my firm has had ex-
pert mining engineers at work in
Alaska" he said. "and their report says
the Yukon gold fields will prove
the richest in the world. My
opinion is that as soon as
the country has been opened
up and shipping facilities furnished the
output of gold will be simply enormous.
AS the production of gold increases. sill
yer will be enhanced in value. This l
regard as certain.
Mir. Guggenheim declined to give in
detail the reasons for his faith in
higher values of silver. There are well
informed men who look upon the re-
ported discoveries as exaggerated. One
of these is F. Hobart, associate editor
of the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal.
