\ SIBERIAN TRADER.
Has an Extensive Business but Never
Sees Money.

Away up near the arctic circle lives
an old man who is very rich, and yet
he never sees a dollar or any kind of
money or representative of money.
Some time ago DR.. Sheldon Jackson
general agent of the Bureau of Edu-
cation for ALASKA, on board the Bear,
touched at Indian Point, Siberia. Al
that place he found the principal ma
tive of the village, Koharri, by name,
a trader noted all along the coast. In
writing of this old trader, DIR. Jack
son says:
He has a little frame whale house
filled from floor to ceiling with tobac,
20, flour and looking glasses, which
he has obtained from the whalers. and
from which he supplies the country
for hundreds of miles around. This
man has been known to have as much
as $4,000 worth of whalebone in his
storehOuse at one time. He does Il
business of probably 100000 year,
and yet not a single coin of gold or
silver nor "A single bank note or bank
check is used, nor are any books ever
kept. All transactions are by barter,
furs and Whalebone being exchanged
for tobacco, -four ana whiskey. This
Wholesale merchant of the north ST.
berian coast can neither read nor
write, nor can any one associated
with him. Although so wealthy he
lives in an ordinary tent and sleeps on
the ground on pile of reindeer

PRICES GOING UP.

The diplomatic and consular repre-,
sentatives of United States in Mexico
are keeping lookout on the condition
of affairs there since silver began to
tumble in price, and will probably
send in some interesting reports ON
the situation. Consul General Joseph
&. Dudley stationed at Nuevo Laredo,
i'm a communication to the Depart
ment of State, says that there has re-
Gently been a marked raise in the prl-
ces of all commodities in Mexico as a
result of the recent fall in the price
of silver. This is true of domestic
products, including rents. He says
that there has been no corresponding
advance of wages or salaries. and the
intimaton is that the situation is now
growing serious. The price of labor
remains on a silver basis.

THE CARSON CARNIVAL
No Fights Arranged Yet, But They
Will Be

SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-A. Liv-
lngston, the agent of Dan Stuart for his
pugilistic affairs in Carson and the Pres
ident of the Nevada Agricultural Asso-
citation, arrived in town yesterday on
business connected with the fistic carni-
val that it is proposed to hold in Carson
this fall.
Mr.. Livingston said that as nothing
had been definitely settled yet, he could
not make much Of a statement. 1t is
a pretty sure thing, however, that there
would be another meeting of pugilists
in the big arena at Carson in less than
three months.
The annual State fair of Nevada opens
about September oath and it is proposed
that the fistic carnival will take place
during fair week. Just who will have
charge of the affair has not been deter
mined. but Dan Stuart will have the
call. Stuarts partner, Wheelock. is in
this city looking after the veriscope pic
lures and will not have the time to de-
vote to the proposed mills and if Stuart
is too busy with the pictures in the Eas.
to look after the affair Billy Brady will
have the call. The Stuart people own
the arena at Carson and will turn it over
to the man selected to arrange the de-
tails Of the carnival. The fights, If they
take place at all, will come off at Carson
and not at Reno, as has been reported.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 20.-Billy

A LUCKY MINER
A Fortune for Entertaining an Angel
Unawares

NEW YORK, July 2O.-A special to
the Journal and Advertiser from Halle
ton, Pa, says: John Mcdonald, a poor
coal miner of Evansville, a suburb of
this city. is now thankful that he extend
ed hospitality to an apparently ragged
relative few years ago. For this act
Of kindness he is destined to receive
by the will Of relative in Grass VAL
ley, Cal. $4,000. with yearly income
Of many thousands more.
Arthur Mcdonald, the deceased rela-
tive, was an early settler in this sectiop,
and In 1858, firing Of the coal regions,
went to California, accompanied by his
brother George and half sister. From
the first he prospered, but all trace of
the trio was lost to the Eastern relatives.
He became interested in. several gold
mines and was owner of the Hudson
Bay mine, which was bonanza.
Two years ago Arthur Mcdonald,
wishing to know w neither the relatives
in the East were worthy of sharing his
wealth in the event of his death, sent
his brother George hither. disguised as
poor and helpless beggar, soliciting
help. He called on John Mcdonald, in
Evansville. Mr.. Mcdonald had large
family to support and was not overbur-
dened with wealth, but he welcomed the
relative and gave him the best in the
house. The uncle left shortly after
wards, apparently satisfied that at least
one of the relatives was deserving of a
share in the legacy.
He left for New York City to visit
another nephew, but the reception was
of different character from that re-
ceived in the coal regions, and he was
told to move on. The result Is that this
one has been cut off in the will with 500
Mr. Mcdonald has received word of the
death of his uncle Arthur, and also other
letters and a copy Of the will, the latter
now being in the hands Of Rev. Mr..
Fitzmaurice in this city. The latter was
first communicated by the Bishop of
the Grass Valley diocese to establish the
identity of the Evansville miller, which
is now complete.

Wheat Prices Booming

NEW YORK, July 20.-The Herald to-
morrow will say: Two circumstances
combined yesterday to put up the price
of wheat, heavy engagements for ex-
port and large falling off in the, world S
visible supply. The exports and engage
ments for export at all the ports and
chief inland points amounted to more
than 100000 bushels, which is by far
the largest amount for any day this
year. OF this amount 100000 bushels
were engaged in New York, 230, 900 bush
els at outposts, 100000 at Chicago and
2O0,0 900 bushels at ST. Louis. The engage
ments at Chicago and St. Louis yester-
day were chiefly for shipment during the
first of August and hence should not be
regarded as shipments made yesterday.

rual meeting of the board of trustees of
the san francisco and San Joaquin Val

100 stock cars, nine passenger coaches,
three combination cars and small con-
struction cars. Mr.. Storey also. reported
that surveys had been prosecuted from

the main part of the route had been set
tied upon. The road is in operation as
far as Hanford.
At the conclusion of the reading of the
reports the election of directors took
place, whereupon the new board met and
elected its officers. The result of the two
ballots was as follows: President, Claus
Sprekels; first vice president, Robert
Watt; second vice president, A. H. Pay
son, with the following additional d.
rectors: Charles Holbrook, J. D. Spreck-
els, j. B. Stetson, Leon Sloss, Thomas

the Visalia branch at Reedley was COM
pleted and track laid this morning and

CROCKER'S FUNERAL
His Memory Honored by Half-Mast-

SAN FRANCISCO. July 20.-All flags
In this city are at half-mast today as a
tribute to the memory of the late Col,
Chas. F. Croker. A simple service. at
tended by few of the most intimate
friends of the deceased, was conducted
at Uplands. San Mateo, during the MORN
ing, and the remains were escorted to
this city, which was reached at 1870
O'Clock.
An immense crowd gathered at the de-
pot at Third and Townsend streets to
witness the arrival of the remains and
start of the funeral cortege. The party
which accompanied the remains from
San Mateo was received by an escort
consisting of members of Golden Gate
Lodge, Masons, and the California Com
mandery, knights Templar, all of whom
wore full regalia. All along the line of
march and at the First Congregational
Church vast crowds assembled. The ser
vices at the church were the simple rites
of the Masonic order, with few remarks
by Rev. Robert Mackenzie, pastor of the
church. Among those who attended were
Governor Budd and staff, and a large
number of members of Pacific Parlor,
Native Sons, to which the deceased be-
longed.

observer believed that 1t was heavy
blow at the proposition to organize gas
trust number two. But the blow was
more apparent than real. E. c. Benedict
and his friends control the Equitable
stock. He has been for some time anx-
ious to form a com bination in this city
similar to the one that has given prac-
teal control OF the lighting of Chicago.
He was very active in the preliminaries
of the attempts of consolidation by the
Consolidated company a few months
ago. Though Mr.. Benedict denies 1t, his
friends insist that he has been quietly
at work, making plans by means OF
which the East River company would
be absorbed into the Equitable and then,
they say. with this coalition, 1t is his
purpose to go directly into the territory
occupied by the Consolidated and Stand
ard Gas companies and fight the corpor-
atoms on their own ground.
