YUKON ooLD
Is No, as Rich as ina, Of California

Is Not as Rich az That Of California
San Francisco. July 22.--Assistant
weigher W. a. Underhlll. OF the sclby
smelting Co. states that The gold from
the Yukon Is not Of so much value as
tfat produced in California. In speaking
Of this matter. he said:
I'VE have found the miners from Yu-
ken I very nice class OF people 10 deal
with. and they have not been deceived
In the value OF the gold they have
brought back With thsm. 1t Is fact
that the Yukon Is not as valuable as
that produced in this state. We have
found THAI there are from % 70 100 points
more base metal In the northern product.
These base metals are iron. lead and a
few others. and there is a large quantity
the gold and silver. II Is the iron that
gives the Yukon gold It's fine rich color.
OF course these other metals decrease
the value. The nuggets from the Yukon
are worth 81 and SIS per ounce. With
the California gold the value is about
81 per ounce more That is. nuggets
run from SIS TO SO and the gold dust
never less than sl7 per ounce.
"our assayers have found several other
metals than those have mentioned. but
no attention is paid to them. as these
other base metals do not cut much Of a
figure in the general value.

to the famous Klondyke gold fields. By

Michael Kelly. one Of scattle's old

proposition OF their having an easy time
10 secure work on good claims.
II u. Wheeler and his son-in-law L,
NJ. Culbertson, who Went to Klondyke
last spring, have each written letters
home to their wives giving some very
important additional news OF tho mines
and OF the trip.
Wheeler writes: The mines are some

he takes out his sack OF gold and the

SILVER DECLINES.
Result Of the Gold Boom in the Klon
dyke Region

New York. July 22-The Herald says
bar silver has declined to the lowest
price in two years and private dispatches
from abroad received in Wall street are
to the effect that holders OF the white
metal have weakened. Some Of the bull
lion brokers assume that this means
that the silver pool which was formed
abroad more than a year ago has liq-
Undated its holdings.
other brokers were of the opinion that
the holdings of the pool had been rq-
uidated some time ago and that the les
sened demand for silver in the East,
through the adoption of the gold stand
ard by Japan. among other reasons, was
responsible for the decline.
Outsiders generally called attention to
the fact that the recession in price came
simultaneously with the announcement
Of the great gold discoveries in the
Elondyke region.

FOSSILS uNEARTHED.
American Museum Makes a Find IN
Wyoming.

Nov York, July 22.-The Herald says
an expedition in May last to Wyoming,
sent by the American Museum of Natu-
raj History to search for fossils of ex-
tinct reptiles, has unearthed specimens
which will enrich the scientific treasury
of that institution. DR., ]. L. Wartman
and Burnum Brown are in charge Of the
expedition The work Of excavation has
been near Laramie City. 1t has been
more successful than was expected. The
principal work of the members Of the
expedition has been TO unearth fossil
dinosaura, extinct lizards which existed
in the MesozoIc age. Or. wartman and
Mr.. Brown have found two gigantic din
osaura. each about 80 feet long. One has
been exposed and will be ready for ship
ment soon. The other is being exposed.
1t is expected that a carload of specimens
will arrive soon in this city. The Amer
lean Museum of Natural History has not
had any dinosaura, The finds Of the
expedition are therefore of considerable
satisfaction to the museum authorities.
