DAMAGING EvIDENCE
Produced Against Bush and Ed. Durr,

Produced Against Bush and Ed. Durr,
Charged With the waynesburg Robbery.
Special to the Register.
Washington, Pa, July 22.-The two
young men, Ed. and Bush Durr, who
were arrested at Waynesburg, as stated
in the Register. had a hearing at that
place to-Eay and much damaging testi-
mony VI given against them. Miss
Axtell, me of the ladies robbed,
identife{ them as the guilty parties.
She dix not identify the jewelry found
on the prisoners as belonging to her or
her sister.
On wednesday Detective Mcbride,
accompanied by Attorney j. A. Wiley,
of this place, went to Waynesburg 10
identify some jewelry and other artic-
les found on Perry Spicer, brother-in-
law of the defendants, and who has
also been arrested upon the charge of
receiving stolen goods.
Among the articles Mr.. Wiley found
a watch which belonged to his sister,
also a coat belonging TO himself; and
also many other articles were found
belonging to Washington people. The
supposition is. that this gang has been
connected with the many robberies
that have taken place recently at this
place. The above attorney was coun-

THE YUKON GOLD.
1t Is Not as Valuable as the California Pro-
duet.


San Francisco, July 22.-Assistant
Weigher A W. Underhill, OF the
Selby Smelling Company, states that
the gold from the Yukon is not or SO
much value as that produced In Call
fornia. In speaking of this matter, ne
said: 1--WE have found the miners
from the Yukon very nice class OF
people to deal with and they have not
been deceived in the value OF the gold
they have brought back with them.
1t is a fact that the Yukon gold is not
as valuable as that produced in THIS
State. We have found that there are
from so to 100 points more base metal
in the northern product. These base
metals are iron, lead and few otners'
and there is large quantity OF silver
also. We look principally for the gold
and silver. 1t is the iron that gives
the Yukon gold its fine rich color.
THE nuggets from the Yukon are
worth $17 and SIS per ounce and the
fine gold dust is worth from SIC to slI
per ounce. With California gold the
value is about one dollar an ounce
more that is, nuggets run from slS 10
S19 and gold dust never less than 81!
per ounce. Our assayers have found
several other metals than those nave
mentioned. but no attention is paid 10
them, as the other base metals 90 no.

KANAWHA STILL WORKING.
Only Three Soft Coal Mines Closed-Orgsn-
izers Abandon the Field Gone to New


Only Three Soft Coal Mines Closed-orgsn-
izers Abandon the Field Gone to New
River.
Special to the Register
Charleston, w. Va, July 22.-After
the supreme effort yesterday at the
mass meeting at Montgomery to get the
miners in the soft coal mines to strike,
it seems that the thing was practically
a failure.
Out of the fifteen or more mines
which were said to be ready to go out
in obedience to the resolution passed by
their representatives at the Montgom-
cry meeting, only three were idle to-
day, the Crescent, the Straughen and
the Union, all in the vicinity OF Mont
gomery.
Some of the miners at Crescent who
failed to go to work this morning re-
turned to work later in the day. Many
realize that they have made mistake,
and they are now in favor Of all return
ing to work and continuing to work till
the news comes that every mine in the
Flat Top region or on the line OF the
Norfolk and Western Railroad is idle.
When they are apprised of this fact
they will be willing to go out and not
before. This is the way the strikers
are talking tonight and the probability
is that those who struck to-day will be
at work tomorrow. All the mines on
Kelley's creek are in operation except
one and the miners are out there on ac-
count of a disagreement between the
bank boss and the superintendent.
To sum up, there are no more miners
out now in the Kanawha Valley than
there were a week ago. and the senti-
ment against striking is growing among
the miners.
Dilcher, Haskins, Weber and other
agitators have practically abandoned
the field. (They have gone to Thurmond,
in the New River region, where they
have announced a meeting for to-mor-
row.
