They are prospects that can be worked to
the best advantage curing the winter.
What the 5000 men who went into the
Yukon with the cary spring have accom-
plished or will do, Is merely probe matical.
While a greater sum OF money, no
doubt, will have been taken out by the
later arrivals than those miners who went
to San Francisco on the Excelsior and
. came 10 Seattle on the Portland, the two
constituting the winter brigade, the prob
abilities are that success will not attend
individual effort TO such an extent with
the late comers as is now known 10 have
been attained by the earlier ones; in other
words winter mining, at least on the Klon-
dyke, is more profitable than summer min
ing.
1t was a sight well worth seeing to
watch the hardy miners come down the
Portland's gangplank. Some actually had
more gold dust than they could carry. II
was in valises, bags boxes. tin cans and
every other conceiva BILE receptacle. From
Inc boat 1t was actually carried away in
drays and express wagons. Fully three
fourths OF the dust was shipped out of the
city to-day by the express companies.
Judge II. G. Bond told THE CALL CORE

SEATTLE, WASH, July 17.-When the
North American Trading and Transporta-
iion Company gold laden ship Portland,
from St Michaeis, Alaska, steamed into
the hafoor OF Seattle this morning at
o'clock, it had besides sixty-eight souls in
the nature of human freight, yellow
metal CARO- conservatively estimated at
$500, 900. All save tve or six of the passen-
gers were N iners who had from $4,000 to
$135, 900 each. They had taken these snug
sums from the famous Klondyke.
The dust and nuggets were scraped
toge her and dug out since last August, in
which month the widely heIalded distrirt
was discovered. IL is safe, therefore to
say that no one of the nun Der worked to
exceed nine months in the actual acquire
meBt of his golden possessions. In truth,
most OF the wealth was taken out during
the three or four winter months. Scarcely
any of it was dug from the ground later

like this much gold shipping for the
crowd the Portland must have brought
down far in excess OF 81, 000, 600.
The express com panies refused point
blank 10 disclose the amount of their gold
shipments, yet, inquiry ELECTED the in
ormation tina, about two-thirds of the
gold expressed to-day was consigned to
the San Francisco Mint. The Helena
Mint got good share, and smaller
amounts were expressed to other points.
Many of the miners were 10th to give any
Information as to the extent of their pos
sessions.

 The negro, however. was taken in GUS tody and marched to the sheriff's office The negro was self composed and re- marked to Sheriff OBrien that he would find out that he had the wrong man as he was in town for the purpose of buy ing bread for barbecue he was giving at or near Avondale.
 State Herald reporter afterward saw where the barbecue was being given at a church near the site of the new cotton mlll.
 Almost as soon as this negro was inter- eepted and before he was taken to the sheriffs office a phone message was Ss- csived from Woodlawn stating that Mar shall Parks of that place had arrested a negro wearing a blue shirt, who had boarded an outgoing car on the East Lake line at Lacrosse, who when he got on the car showed signs of fatigue as if he had been running. The sheriff no tified Marshall Parks to hold the negro and he would send for him
 Deputy Will Love, accompanied by a State Herald reporter boarded an out going car and went to Woodlawn. En route they met Deputy Jones and Mar shall Gaddls of lrordale The latter gave Deputy Lave the following description of the negro: Stout black and weighing. about 175 peunds. rather large neck, and wore a straw hat, black pants, under shirt and had a black coat thrown over his arm. tt.
 Deputy IFyh then continued to Wood lawn with the reporter and secured Mar shall Parks find He proved however, to be exactly opposite in description to the man wanted and gave his place of residence as Avondale, stating that he had run to catch the car to visit a sister at East Lake. The State Herald reporter, at the request of Deputy Love, tele- phoned Sheriff O'Brien a description of the negro and then instructions came to release him as he did not suit the descrip- ton of the murderer.
 Deputy Jones came to Wocdlawn about the time the negro was released and on being investigated informed Deputy Jones where he lived

CHASE OF A MURDERER.
Sheriff O'Briens Deputies Make Good Run, but it Proved Futile-Three
 Men Caught and Released.

Shortly after noon yesterday Sheriff O'Brien was informed by telephone of a killing near IroEdale and immediately sent Chief Deputy Warnock and Deputy Jones with the county dogs to the scene. It seems that Frank Flipton and Jim Hill, both negroes empolyed on the l.. & N. work train, had fallen out about some food and the former killed the latter and made off.
 On the arrival of the deputies the dogs at once took the trail and moved off at a rapid gait The dogs made across the mountains following the trail as if the pursued was in sight
 Soon the deputies came upon two ne- groes, but one was out of reach while the other was retained. Deputy Warnock remained with this negro while Deputy Jones followed the dogs in search of the other.
 The negro failed to answer the descrip- ton and Deputy Warnock released him.
 About o'clock Sheriff O'Brien received telephone message from Deputy Jones at Cain Station saying the, dogs had chased negro to that point when he jumped on an incoming electric car for the city. The negro was described as wearing blue shirt and pants and straw hat Sheriff O'Brisn and Deputy Love at once hastened to First avenue and Twen- ty-first street and intercepted the incom- ing car Only one negro was on board and he answered the description given by phone, but the motorman and con-

Wilmington Board of Trade Al ainst
Local Option.

The Board of Trade Thursday put
its stamp of disapproval on local option
and prohibition and will send a com
mittee to the Constitutional Conven-
tion to petition that body to leave such
clause out of the constitution. It is
the opinion of the members that such
a law would be detrimental to the in
terests and morals of the city and state.
There was unusually large number
OF members present and the bringing
up of this question was a surprise to
many of the members. 1t was brought
about by communication which was
signed by the Hartmann and Fehren-
back, the John Lengle and the Dia-
mond State brewing companies. It
called attention of the members to the
fact that the Constitutional Conven-
ton was considering placing such a
clause in the constitution and told of
how three of the largest industries i'm
Wilmington would be crippled If
this were done. The plants for the
breweries here represent millions of
dollars. 1t was further stated that the
sale OF liquor would not be stopped,
but Wilmington firms would simply
be stopped from manufacturing the
beer Washington Hastings dissents
from the hasty action of the Board. and
