MILLIONS TO CONE.
What Mint Director Preston Expects
From the Klondike.

w htb NluU director preston EXPECTS
From the Klondike.
Washington, Aug. 3l.-Mint Director
Preston was asked what estimate he had
made as to the amount of gold brought
into the United States from Alaska since
the recent discoveries. He answered that
he should say, roughly, that the arrival
of the Portland had brought the total up
to about 81, 500, coo. and expected the to-
tai to swell to Sc, 000,0 900 by the close of
navigation.
The Portland would make one more
trip. being due at Seattle on her return
about October 10. On that last voyage
home she would probably bring in large
body of miners who did not wish to spend
the winter in the Klond;ke. and who
would bring the bnlk Of their gold with
them, so AS to have it's transportation
under their own eyes. Not ali gold
brought from Alaska should be credited
to the Klondike. Much OF it, he thought,
must have come from Circle City and
Forty Mile creek, within the jurisdiction
of the United States.
