THE FAIR ESTATE.
VIII Show Valuations of About
Twelve million Dollars.

san Francisco, Sept. 9o.-The Call
will say tomorrow that the appraisers
of. the estate Of the late James c. Fair
have completed their task and viii pre-
sent their report to the probate court
in a few days. The report will show
that the value Of the Fair estate has
baen very much overrated. Instead Of
being valued at from SSO.oO0,00O to S50,-
100000, the appraisers say the official
dgures xiii be about $12 100000 and GER
tainiy nct more than S15, 000 coo.
These figures have been reached after
seven months of continuous and care
ful work by the appraisers. Fairs for
tune IS invested for the most part in
real estate, ghe greater part of which
is in this city. but the principal part
consists of 81 900, 600 in bonds Of the
South Pacific Coast railroad, built by
Fair but now a part of the Southern
Pacific system.
The valuation of the Fair estate IS
significant in view of the testimony
eiYen by Fair in q trial several years
ago in Yolo county, when in reply TO
a question ne said he was worth at
least $50, COO 600. 1t is evident that in the
last few years of his life Fair sustained
serious losses, the facts concerning
which are carefully concealed.

Brooklyn, Sept. S0.-Although Boston
has one more game to play with Brook
Iyn and Baltimore two more with
Washington, the race for the league
pennant OF 1897 practically came to an
end with the conclusion of today's
game at Eastern park. Boston won the
game, while Washington trouneed the
Champions, which leaves Boston the
uudisputed champions for 1898 Even
should Baltimore win both their games
they can only attain q percentage of 700
points. Should Brooklyn win from
Boston on Saturday, the latter would
still have a percentage of 704. The ex-
element at todaY's game was eXtraorI
binary In the second inning when the
Bostons scored five runs which gave
them a safe lead, men and women alike
rose in their seats and yelled franti-
cally. When the lead became so great
that there was no more hope for the
home team, the most faithful joined
the Bostons and their rooters, and for
q time nobody could hear anything
else but people yelling Boston"

San Francisco, Sept. 0.-The revenue
cutter Richard Rush arrived from Una
laska today. bringing the latest news
from st. Michaels and the Yukon
that came to UnaIaska from the north
by the Alaska Commercial company's
steamer Bertha The Bertha left St
Michaels on the 18th Of September
On the 18th the steamer C. H. Hamii-
ton, belonging 10 the Chicago corpora
ton, returned to St MichaelS and re-
ported that she was unable to ascend
the Yukon river above the flats near
Fort Yukon. Her passengers and car
go were loaded at Fort Yukon and
were waiting the arrival Of the Alaska
Commercial cOmpany's steamers Mar
garet and Alice for transportation to
Dawson City. These steamers, being
of lighter draft, viii get to Dawson
about Sept. 20.
At st. Michaels, despite the presence
of over 300 persons, order prevailed and
the presence Of the revenue cutter Bear
was regarded as an additional guaran
tee to prevent any trouble. \ number
of the Hamilton's passengers were
landed at Minook creek, where quite a
big strike is reported and plenty Of
provisions for for the whole party. The
Bear viii remain at st. Michaels until
the arrival of the Humboldt with the
troops fer the garrison. The disabled
steamer Eliza Anderson will remain at
Unalaska until next spring. The stea-
mer Portland was at Dutch Harbor
when the Rush left Unalaska. Coal
being scarce, she was unable to contin-
ue her voyage to st. Michaels, but the
passengers were sent north On the Alas
la Commercial companys steamer Der
tina.
The Portland will probably return to
Seattle without proceeding to st. Mi
chaels. The steamer frames and ma
chinery she carried will be landed at
Dutch Harbor and a new cargo of
pIanking to replace that lost on the
schooner Hueneme will be sent north
SO that the steamer for the Yukon can
be built at Dutch Harbor during the
winter
