THE CROWDS FROM PORTLAND

Portland. July S0.-The o. r. g. N.
steamship George W. Elder sailed for
Dyea, Alaska at II o'clock tonight with
$50 passengers, nearly all OF whom are
bound for Klondyke by way Of the Chill
coot pass.
She carried 1900 tons Of freight. her
full capacity. 80 horses and burros and
20 dogs. The steamer was scheduled 10
sail at p. m, but when that hour ar
rived all the freight had not been put
aboard and the dock was scene OF
hustle. hurry and confusion. Ten thous-
and people were on the dock. the river
hank and the steelbridge TO bid God-speed
to the gold seekers. A brass band dis
coursed familiar airs such as when
Johnny Comes Marching Home Again. :"
Goodbye My Lover. Goodbye" etc.
Hundred OF applicants for passage were
refused and the company also declined
to take several tons OF freight. Among
the passengers were five women. Nearly
every man on the steamer has supplies
tc last him at least one year. There were
few. however. who had scarcely any,
and no money, after payin gfor their
ticket. These expect to make enough to
get an outfit after they get to the dig
gins by assisting their more fortunate
brethren.

THE FIGHT IN BRAZIL.

New York, July SO.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Rio de Janeiro gives further
details Of the fight at Canudos. From
these advices It is evident that the first
report was not exaggerated, and in fact
did not tell the full extent Of the fan
attic victory These later reports state
that the government troops lost a large
part of their artillery in the battle and
that the guns. in good order. are now
in possession Of the fanatics. Those Of
the artillerymen who were not killed be-
side their guns were forced 70 retreat
before the onslaught Of the fanatics,
leaving their guns behind them.

The rest of the people interested are eastern capital ists This company controls the Win ningham group of four claims and four claims of G. w. Hull and others. These claims cover everything be- tween the main groups of the United Verde. The Jerome Copper company has started a 2,00O foot tunnel in De ception gulch, this to be the main opening, no hoisting being required. The smelter will be located in the Verde valley near the river, but it will be several months before work will be begun on this part of the plant, as the company wishes to fin is;h the working tunnels in every shape and accumulate a supply of ore before they turn loose on the smelter Prospecting done shows sufficient to satisfy the company of the fact that plenty of ore is in sight. The claims lie south and southeast of the main group of the United Verde.
 Compressers, boilers, drills, etc, are en route and will soon be on the ground, at least such material as will be in immediate demand.
