Another steamer for Alaska.

CHICAGO, Aug, 24.-The North American
Transportation and Trading company will
have at least seven more steamers on the
Yukon river than 1t has at present by the
time navigation opens in Alaska next June.
Tho first ship to be added to the Weare
fleet is the John c. Barr, formerly known
at Toledo o., as the Valley City. The Barr
has passed through Chicago on its way to
st. Michael island. Captain e. d. Comings,
master OF the vessel said he expected TO
be ready to go up the Yukon with the first
lot of spring passengers when the ice breaks
up. The vessel occupied four fiat cars and
one box car. 1t was taken apart by a ship
building company at Toledo. Captain Com
ings says the experiment is so far such a
success that the Toledo company will proba-
bly, sign a contract with the transportation
company to furnish several other Toledo
steamers for the Alaska trade. The Barr
Will carry about 200 passengers and 400 tons

that by next spring there will be at least

THIS DISCOUNTS THE KLoNDI<E.
Valuable Deposits of Pearls i'm Rivers
and LnIScs of ArISnnsns.

DepOSttS OF PeurIS h1Ners
and Lakes of Arkansas.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Aug. 24.-New dis
coveres of valuable deposits of pearls in
lakes and rivers in Arkansas have added
greatly to the excitement already existing
over similar discoveries and today thousands
of people are wading through the water in
different parts of the state searching for the
precious gems. The latest and most sensa-
tional discoveries were made in the Arkan-
sas river and the creeks, lakes and bayous
near Little Rock where pearls have been
picked up ranging in value from $1,000 to
$500 each. Hundreds of people are working
the Saline. White and other rivers and
many valuable finds have been reported. Ad-
ditional discoveries we're made on the
Fourchee river yesterday and hundreds of
people are swarming to that stream.
STAFF representative of the Arkansas
Gazette, who has spent much time in in
vestigating the matter, says there are fifty
seven streams in the state that are rich
in pearls of large size. 1t has now de-
veloped that in the course of a survey made
in White river in 1895 50, 900 worth of pearls
were collected by members Of the survey in
the course of their duties. Recent discov-
cries lead to the assertion that never in
mans history were so many and so valuable
pearls discovered. Pearls of from thirty to
fifty grains In weight are no uncommon
things to find in the possession of country
lads who fish for pearls for ipastime. The
color of the pearls found Is that of a saline
rose and the texture is first-class.

MAKES No RECOMMENDATIONS
Report on Kansas City stock Yards is
N0ucD IN m ttuI

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 24.-Specal Master
George W, Clark, who was appointed TO in
vestigate the condition of the Kansas City
Stock Yards company. filed his report today.
The report is entirely free from anything
that could be construed into recommends
ton. The report takes up the various ques-
tlons concerning the ccst of the yards their
maintenance, the capitalization of the COM
pany and business situation with reference
to the law passed by the last legislature
reducing the legal fees to be charged.
In one particular the report favors the con-
tentlon that the fees heretofore charged are
too high. The stock yards company asserted
that the plant is worth 10000, 900, Special
Master Clark's finding places the value of the
plant at s., 3Ss, 900. and the real estate at
81 200 900 more. Special Master Clark figures
that If the reduced rates fixed by the legis-
lature were In force, the company would
earn 1927 per cent per annum. He says the
earnings last year were 1l.99 per cent on
the investment, according to his valuation of
the plant.
Attorney Hite, who appeared for the stock
yards company, said exceptions will be filed
to the report by the stock yards company.
He says that the findings do not touch the
law questions. and it cannot be said that they
favor either side.
