Finds ON Minook and Hunter Creeks
Continue to Cause Excitement.
ST. M1cHAELs, Sept. l6.-The general
impression is that the boats that leave
here from this time on will not be able
to get over 1000 miles up the river be.
fore they will be frozen in. All inde-
pendent steamers will be compelled to
carry coal, as the natives have cut up
all the driftwood along the rivers
bank for 100 miles and have sold it to
steamers belonging to the two big
companies. The new finds on Minook
and Hunter creeks continue to cause
excitement, and there are now 600 min.
ers on the ground. In St. Michaels
sugar is Is cents per pound, shot shells
are 20 cents each, bacon 35 cents a
pound, blanket trousers IS, chocolate
drops 3 for Is cents, 5.cent calico 35
cents, cotton bandanas 81, flour So a 100,
candles 80 cents a pound, small box Of
sardines 80 cents. Six men have PROC
ably lost their lives zeal here as the
result Of a foolhardy attempt to sail up
the 1850 miles of river, which in some
places runs down at the rate of eight
miles an hour. The men, two Of whom
we're named A~bercrombie and Tate,
were last seen drifting out of the
Yukon to the sea in distress.
Three men in a sailboat started up
the river from here last week and have
not been seen by anybody since. Their
names are Matthews, Roberts and

Slaughtered Cattle Principally Mado
Into Tassjo and a Beef Extract.
WAsHINGTON, Oct. Z. - Consul
Schramm of Montevideo has sem to the
department an elaborate report upon
the meat products Of Uruguay. The
principal meat product is tasajo (jerked

About 100000 head of cattle were
slaughtered for the manufacture of a
beef extract, to say nothing of the
large number killed for tasajo. The
consul says the extract possesses no
n%ourishing qualities whatever. and is at
most a strong stimulant, all the nour-
ishing properties of the meat being los st
in the process of manufacture by chem
icals.

INTERPRETING WAGNER.

The New York musical critics are ravins
over NJ. Jean de Reszke's Siegfried. 1t
is declared that in this great tenor Wag-
ner has found a new Interpretations
whose mission Is to snow that Wagner's
tenor roles can be sung with beauty OF
tone as well as fidelity TO poetic accent,
and dramatic expression. The enthusiastic
critic Of the Evening Post believes that
could Voltaire have heard &c Reszke's
Siegfrled he would have exclaimed I'm
spired as a tenor" instead of stupid as
n tenor" and that Wagner would have
found in the Polish lyric artist his ideals
fully realized. Stress Is laid on the fact
that De Reszke's enunciation IN Sieg-
fried. and the other Wagner tenor roles
he has essayed, IS 50 clear as TO render
libretto reading superhuous, and there Is
unanimous concurrence as TO the perfect
work Of n. Seidl as a conductor.
From nothing has Wagner suffered moro
than from 'unintelligent orchestral con-
Quoting and vocal slurring. In such enun-
citation as Is attributed 10 De Reszke,

but sweeps tho musical chords Of our ma
ture with an echo-producing hand that Is
possessed by no other master.
