O'Clock this morning, and thirteen Yaluapie
racing horses, including John Mariner sslo,-
600 Tiddey winks, were cremated.
The fidelity OF Tony Brown, hostler
to this horse, will probably cost him his
life.
In attempting to lead the horse from the
burning building he was frightfuliy burned
about the face and back, and his recovery
is extremely doubtful.

which there is barely So, 500 insurance

CHAMPIONS READY T0SKATE
DonohOe, Lawson and Nelson S
Contest at Convention Hall.
ice Palace Events VIII BE Record.
Breakers-Great Interest Is
shown in Them.

Everything is ready for the grand cham
pionship skating races, which commence at
the Ice Palace this evening.
Manager Towers says heis confident that
the races during the week will eclipse In
point OF interest the popular events OF last
winter. during which SO many new records
were established.
All three of the famous racers, Donohoe,
Lawson, and Nelson arrived in town yes
terday and they spent a short time looking
over the scene OF their coming contests at
the palace.
Donohoe is skating faster this year than
ever before. and could meeting be ar
ranged for him with Johnson, who defeated
him two years ago, it would be almost u
sure thing that the Newburg skater would
prove himseIfthe faster man. He did some
wonderful work in New York last week
in defeating MoShier and Lawson with great
ease, besides placing number OF records
at very low figures.
Donohoe's defeat OF Lawson, however,
was to be expected in view OF the Terrible
Swede'' having just completed the long
six-day bicycle race in this city. Donohoe
SAYS the Swede was in no condition for
skating as bicycle stiffness was plainly
apparent il n his work on the steels.
Lawson says he is now almost entirely
recovered from the stiffness and he eX-
poets TO make much better showing than
in New York He is known as swift, en-
during skater and Donohoe viii have 10
look to his laurels in all the events.
Nelson, although not well-known in the
East, is easily the best man on the stecls
either in Canada or the West, and some OF
his time performances stamp him as a
dangerous man even among champions
He is a short and weltknit athlete, jist
the sort of m an to make the short turns
in the ice palace track which will I'm
doubtedly help him greatly in the coming
races Besides his ability as straight
away skater, he Goes all sorts of fancy Work
OF the ice, his running, broad and high
Jumps being particularly daring
The races will commence promptly at 8
O'Clock and will probably Consume aboIt
an hour The program for tonght's events
will be found in The Evening Times today
The management Of the Ice Palace has
arranged for two races nightly, between
the crack skaters, instead of one, as pre-
viously announced. There will be a race
at s O'Clock, and another an hour later
Donohoe will race over a mile course
tonight with Nelson at { o'clock NelS
son will race half mile with Lawson at
O'Clock. Donohoe and Nelson will ract
Tuesday evening at 8, and Donohoe anC
Lawson at 8 o'clock.

THE YUKON GOLD.



Metal, But 1t VIII Do.
SAN FRANCISCO. July %. Assistant
Weigher Waunderhill, of the Selby
Smelling Co., states that the gold from
the Yukon is not of so much value as
that produced in California. In speak
ing of this matter he said; I'VE have
found the miners from the Yukon a
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 fact that
the Yukon gold is not as valuable as
that produced in this state. We have
found that there are from 80 to 100
points more base metal in the northern
product. These base metals are iron
lead and few others, and there is a
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.
"Of course these other metals de-
crease the value little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth Sl7 and SIS
per ounce, and the finer gold dust is
worth from SIG to Sl7 per ounce. With
the California gold the value is about
orc dollar an cum e NOR that is. mug
pets run from SIS to $40, an | gold dust
never less than Sli per ounce.
''Our assayers have found several 9th
er metals than those have mentioned,
but no attention is paid to them, as the
other base metals do not cut much OF
figure in the general value
