RESULTS FATALLY.
Frederick w. Miller Dies of self-Iu
6fcted Wounds.


Frederick w. Miller, who conducted the
hotel on the Maryland side. of Great Falls,
and who recently shot himself with sui
cidal intent. died yesterday afternoon from
the result Of the wounds received. 1t will
be remembered that about o'clock on the
morning of November II he left his home,
and when he reached a point a short dis
tance from the house. shot himself I'm
mediately after committing the rash act he
repented. and managed to drag himself to
his residence, where he gave the alarm,
and a physician was sent for Since that
time he appeared to be slightly improving,
but he finally collapsed and death ensued.
Il is thought that III health. coupled with
the fact that a crusade was being made
against road houses. was responsible for
the deed. Miller was a month or 30 ago
accused Of violations OF the liquor law, as
stated In The Star at the time, and this
fact preyed upon his mind.

GOLD BORANzAS
ON THE YUKON
Fabulous Stories Told
by OregonianS Just
Returned.
They Bring Rich Dust From
the Famous Clondyke
District.
The Great Mining Excitements of
California and Australia May
Be Repeated.

PORTLAND. Or, April 15.-It would
appear that in the gold placers recently
discovered along Bonanza and El Dorado
creeks in the Ciondyke district of the
Yukon, the world is to witness repetition
of the great mining e1citeme nts of Cali
foruia and Australia, says this evening s
Telegram. James Mckay, J. S. MacAulay
and Richard Butler. men of known re-
sponsibility, have arrived from the new
gold fields and confirm in every manner
the rumors concerning the wonderful rich
ness Of the Clcndyke that have heretofore
reached the outside world. An example
OF the fabulous wealth of the country Is
shown in the product of one pan of dirt
washed out on an Ell Dorado claim, the
dust being brought out by Mr.. MacAulay,
which al SIS an ounce weighs $243. Com
ing as this does direct from the scene, and
brought by well.known gentleman, there
IS no doubt as to the truthiulness of the
statements made.
Concerning the big returns from a
single pan of dirt, it should be remem-
bered that the dirt is invariably taken
from bedrock, and in these immensely
rich spots the pay streak is always thin
sometimes not more than two or three
inches.
On the other hand, an example is found
in the Rhodes claim, where the gravel
runs from So AZ to the pan on the upper
strata TO 81 80 at bedrock, with a pay
streak nine feet deep. On such claims as
this no barren dirt need be handled, and
the net profits equal those where the
richer though very much smaller pay
streaks are found.
