WASHINGTON, July 27.-The presi-
dent and Secretary Alger have decided
to detail an army officer and q company
Of soldiers from the regular army for
service in Alaska. The matter 10 yet in
very indefinite shape, but details will be
arranged as soon as possible in order
that the soldiers may get into the vicin-
ity Of the gold country before naviga-
ton closes via the Yukon river route
and the offer Of one Of the shipping
companies on the Pacific coast to trans.
port the men and their baggage and
stores will probably be accepted. The
exact location of the camp or post has
not yet been determined on, but it is
expected to be at Circle City. An army
officer now In the field and who has
had experience in such matters has
been invited to take charge Of the
company and an answer is expected
from him very soon. The detail of the
men who will go will be made from one
Of the posts in the West, but just which
one is not yet settled. The officials are
anxious to locate the soldiers in the gold
country as soon as possible, and, if it
can be arranged, they will be sent on
the steamer sailing early in August.

In addition, three large men.of-war are

CITY OF MEx1Co, July 27.-1t is pre-
dicted here that when the gold glacier
mining is developed, in the state OF
Guerrero more gold will be taken out
than in the Klondyke region. Some
placer mining is being done with excel
lent results and water is abundant even
in the dry season. One miner, an old
Californian, reports taking out $4,000
in gold in May and his average is $780,
600 per month. The Indians in Sonora
who work in crude way in the local
gold placers, only operating when in
pressing need Of money, get large re-
turns for very little labor, and an ex-
plorer who has recently been through
the remotest regions states that Sonora
will equal California in it's palmiest
days as q gold producer. r

partment in making Dyea SUPPORT Of
entry, which they claim was done at

Navigation company through the do
minion government. The Canadian
Pacific company operates line of
steamers between Victoria and Juneau,
and asked to have United States GUS
toms officers placed on board thair
boats, which they wanted to run
through to Dyea direct. These officers
were to collect duties and thus obviate
the necessity of landing cargoes at Ju-
neau. The treasury department went
even further, and made Dyea sub.
port Of entry. The local steamship
companies say this will turn gold hun.
