NINE DEDICATED TO TIE LORD.

From The Chicago Tribune.
A mine dedicated to the Lord! Such was the
novel exercise few days ago in one or the prln-
cpal mining camps OF Colorado. when the pros
pective returns from q producing mining prop
erty were formally offered to the Lord to aid in
charitable and other works of philanthropy, but
more especially to the aid and education of
ducng property located in Russell Guch. in
Gipin County. and has been leased by the Rev.
j. H. Weber OF Preston. Ohio and G. w. Elmer,
Of Monroe. Mich.
The ceremony was witnessed by a large con-
course Of people, including many prominent
mining men of the region IL was held at the
shafthouse of the mine, on the hillside, and un-
der the blue canopy of heaven. Most Of the
ministers of the Gospel in the vicinity were pres
ent, and the exercises consisted mainly OF pray
ers singing and addresses. The Rev. Mr..
Weber himself stated that his work as an evan
gcst had enabled him to extend educational
advantages to many worthy young men, espe-
cially orphans. and he invested his money i'm
this mining venture with the hope that it would
Weld good returns, which would be turned into
a good and worthy cause.
The mine has been worked for some time, but
more especially in the line of development
rather than production The lcsSees have al
ready built shafthousc. put in machinery and
have several shifts Of men at work The new
and novel proceeding has attracted widespread
interest among the mining men Of the State
and the progress made Will be carefully noted
The district is one Of the richest in the county
I while the county is by far the richest spot for
its size in this country. 1t is only twelve by
fifteen miles in area, yet it has produced IN the
last thirty years upward Of SbJ,O,D.O0O of pre-
cious metal principally gold. and has never en-
joyed boop suffered depression.

boundary line the gold is discovered; the Yukon
Is the only channel through which the products
OF the mines In the COndyke region can find ac-
cess to civilization. The benefits that will be
derived from the Clondyke or Yukon gold dis
covery almost certain to help this country
The pathway to the mines is open for three
months in the year. and for the other nine
months the mines are a closed book to the In
vestors who have furnished the capital for ex-
petitions to that region. high mountain range
that is practically impossible throughout the
year prevents an overland route to the gold
pockets at Clondyke You can readily perceive
that for every ounce of gold taken from the
Clondyke region there will be far suffering
than in any effort made in the early days 10 de-
velop the gold mines in this country"
Another miner who has travelled extensively
in every gold bearing region under the sun
made light of his predecessors assertion. He
said:
1T is over forty years ago that gold was dis
covered in California and since that date we
have advanced in mining well as in any
other calling that requires brains. capital and
physical endurance Mining in the Clondyke
region will prove comparatively easy task
when compared with mining elsewhere. Why.
believe that the Clondyke region is easily ac-
cessbe in the winter months Just across the
Pacific at Vadvostock any number Of dogs and
sedges may be procured. and although the lat
itude of the C!ondyke region is little higher
there should be no difficulty in establishing
communication with the mines. The dogs make
long journeys attached to sledges in Northern
Siberia. and under favorable conditions. which
frequently exist for weeks at time. rapid
scdge journeys may be made with dog teams
th.,,, ntattlfx in
the Clondyke mines If the parties making the
journey are properly equipped.
NOW. in regard to starvation in the mines
Starvation may occur here in New-York If one
has not the money TO buy food. 1t is safe to say
that the Alaska Company and other companies
that have been formed recently will contract to
feed everybody who reaches the region before
navigation closes With good boats on the river
and lines of steamers plying between Seattle
and Stka. well as lines from San Francisco
especially when the river is open for three
months in the year, there should be no POSSIBLE
ity of starvation in the Yukon region"

SEVERAL KINDS OF GOLD.

The dust from different camps only few miles

told by certain indications in color and in the
shape of the grains River dust was fiat and
scaly; it worn from having been ground
between the rolling powders on the bed OF the
stream for centuries. Gold from the higher flats
and gulches of the dry diggngs was coarser; the
irregularities of the grains were not entirely worn

vision dealer might be much puzzled to fix

Nevada rose to a question of personal

Chandler. a charge which he character
lied as very grave one. He referred
TO the assertion Of the New Hampshire
senator that he (Stewart) had misrep-
resented the attitude of the administra-
ton on the financial question. He had
extracts read from the statement made
Thursday by Secretary Gage before the
house committee on banking and cur

was committed to the gold standard.
He con;ended that this statement fully
confirmed all ne had said, and further
that IL manifested a determination to
