LAWYERS TO CONFER
Efforts TO be Made 10 Save The Joint
Traffic Association.
TWO PLANS UNDER CONSIDERATION
One is 10 Ask Congress for Special Laws
and AnO'h,r 10 Agree on the
Class flcation Of Freight.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Lsadiug
railroad lawyers OF Nav York and
Philadelphia will confer today at the
tf1ice Of James @. Carter to see what
can DO done to save the Joint Ira tllc
association. Among tho legal giants
who are expected 10 be present are:
Mr.. Carter, Ieading counsel for the big
railroad pool; eK.Judge Ashbelgren,
representing tue West Shore; Frank
Loomis. OF the New York Central;
James A Logan, OF the Ponnsylvsnis;
Edward j. Phelps, Frederick g.. Con;
dert and Lewis Cass Ledyard.
1t is generally agreed by the lawyers
that the decision OF the Supreme Court
10 the trant- Missouri freight associa'
tion case 10 clear and that the Joint
Traffic Freight association cannot hops
Tor different decision In the Gaze now
pending. This case was brought by
United States District Attorney
mcfarland wac In commenting on It
this morning, said: "From a careful
reading OF the opinion, l cannot zee
now the lawyers Tor the Jolnt Traffic
association can expect favorable de-
iHt
offended to n greater extent against
:Le Sherman law than did the West
era association"
1t 10 understood that the railroad
lawyers al their meeting win devote
lees time to considering the coming
Supreme Court fight than to devising
some other method OF meeting the
emergency. Our plan IL 10 Bsk Con.
gIess to make special laws w that poo.
ing may be continued under the In
tiuence and direction Of the interstate
commerce comm sslon. This, IL Is
stgued, would enable the commission
to prevent discrimination anu at the
90 me lime enable the railroads to avoiI
rate cutting. Another plan to be con.
sidered 10 that the association be in
relation only TO classl cation OF freight.
This, it is Ergued, would not be re-
straint OF trade anu therefore not q
violation OF the law. With freight
properly classified tue railroad men
think tney might be abls 10 maintain
rates by verbal arrangement with each
other.

Joseph Ladue, owner of the townsite Of
Dawson, Alaska, Is now on the way to
his former home at Schuyler Falls,

1t is said that Ladue and Miss Mason
were to have been married long ago,
but Miss Mason's parents opposed the
match because Ladue was too poor. La
due went to the Black Hills in search of
gold. He was quite successful, but be-
fore coming east to claim his bride, he
went into a speculation at Deadwood
and lost every dollar. Ladue wrote TO
Miss Mason of his misfortune and soon
after went to Ala ska. He did not return
home until two years ago, ard then it
was settled that upon his return from
another trip TO Alaska they would be
married.
AS Ladue Is said to be a millionaire
the parents of the bride will offer no
objection to the union, and it is proba-
BILE that Mr.. and Mrs. Ladue Will spend

QUALITY OF YUKON GOLD.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 22-Assist-
ant Weigher w. A. Underhill of the
Selby Smelling Company states that
the gold from the Yukon is not of 90
much value as that produced in. Cali
fornia.
I'm speaking of this matter he said
I'VE 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 brought back
with them. 1t is fact that the Yukon
gold is not as valuable as that produced
in this State. We have found that there
are from so to leo points more base
metal in the northern product. The Sc
base metals are iron, lead and few
others, and there is large quantity of
silver also. We look principally for the
gold and silver. II is the iron that gives
the Yukon gold its fine, rich color.
"Of course, these other metals de-
crease the value little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth $17 and SIS
per ounce, and the finer gold dust is
worth from SIG to SIT per ounce. With
the California gold the value is about 81
an ounce more That is, nuggets run
from SIS to $19, and the gold dust never
less than SIT per ounce.
"Our aSsayers have fourd several
other metals than those I have men
toned, but no attention is paid to them,
as these other base metals do not cut
much of figure In the general value"

are in American territory, The ministers
are reticent 1t is learned, however,
that the government regards the con-
vention under which the boundary COM
mission was appointed as being of the
nature of a treaty, and any act in con-

regarded as equivalent to the denuncia-
ton of the treaty. The government re-

ENGLISH INTEREST

LONDON, July 29.-Sir Donald Alex
ander Smith, the Canadian high COM
missioner in England has been beseiged
for several days past by inquirers who
desire TO go TO the Yukon mining dis
tricts. Most of the applicants for infor-
nations are young men without money
who are employed on farms and in the
factories. Would-be emigrants of this
class are urged to remain at home, but
hardy men with a capital Of Gl0O or
more are encouraged TO leave for the
fields. Several London capitalists are
interesting themselves in the mining
and are making Investigations with a
view 10 organizing mining companies
Experts have been dispatched to inspect
the region.
Sir Donald has issued pamphlet con-
tanning much information concerning
the new gold fields. Regarding the sug-
sested exclusion of Americans from the
Yukon region, officials here cay there is
nothing in the treaties between England
and the United tSates to prevent such
action on the part of the British govern
ment, but as matter of policy it is un-
likely the step will be taken.
Various steamship companies report
that few persons have left England for
the new gold fields thus far. This is
probably due 10 monetary ccnsidera-
