An Expedition VIII Leave San Fran

An Expedition VIII Leave San Fran
cisco Early In October.
Evidently the excitement regarding the
Alaskan gold fields has not abated to any
great extent General interest at the
present time seems to center on the gold
diggngs of the north, and especially
those OF the Copper River country. wnere
numerous rich strikes have recently been
reported. The success of prospectors in
this district has been greater than was
even expected and consequently that
portion of the northern country bids fair
TO surpass the famous Klondike region in
mineral wealth.
An expedition is now being crganlzed
which viii leave San Pedro on October II,
San Francisco OCTOBER Is and Seattle Oc-
tober % going thence direct to the mouth
of the Copper River. 1t is the first expe
dition to leave for that part OF the coun-
try and the number of passengers is linn
tied TO l6O. The steamer Alice Blanchard
has been secured and as she is q com para
lively new ship the accom- mod atoms for
passengers are pleasant and com N cd Gus.
The expedition will proceed up the
river about sixty miles, where a perma-
nent camp will be esta blished, where
goods will be stored. The camp will be
the headquarters of the company, and the
surrounding country will be prospected.
The Government reports show that the
easiest land route to the headwaters of
the Yukon Is through a valley terminal
ing at the Copper River, which enables
miners 10 avoid the steep Chilcoot and
White passes, and in consequence many
WHO will go on the expedition will probably
proceed on into the Klondike country.
The route OF the proposed railroad to the
klondike will be through the valley from
the Copper River northward.
Il has been shown that the climate in
the Copper River country is comparatively
mid. The temperature for three years
past las not fallen beyond IA degrees be.
low zero, and as general thing has not
been lower than or degrees below zero
The mildness of the climate 10 reported to
be due to the influence of the japan cur
rent, which sets in shore at a point near
the mouth of Copper River During the
summer season good crops are raised, and
in addition to this means of support there
is wild game and the Copper River i,
stocked with salmon.
There are small stations and Russian
missions at different points which are self.

THERE WILL BE A GREAT STRIKE.
Laborers in Sympathy With the
Struggling Engineers to Quit
Work.

LONDON, Eng, Oct. 1.-THE secretary
OF the Federated Trades, which organiza-
ton comprises thirty important indus
tries, announces that The executive
committee has definitely decided to call
out all its members in sympathy with the
struggle OF the engineers against their
employers on FRIDAY next, when it is esti.
mated total OF 400 000 men will be out
OF work on account OF the great labor dis
pute.
The Amalg amated Society of Engineers
have doubts that there will be a general
strike of such p oDortions, and John
Burns says that he has had no personal
intimation that this course is contem.
plated by the Federated Trades.

LEFT WEALTH IN A BUSTLE.
Peculiar faces In Which the Late
Mrs. Perham of Boston Con-.
ceaied Her Fortune.

BOSTON. Mass, Oct. 1.-THE late Mrs.
Almira NJ. Perham of Boston was a
woman OF not few ecceniricities. Her
nearest relatives were sixteen nephews
and nieces, some of whom live in New
York and San Francisco. Little did they
dream that bv her death they were left $64.-
QUO in worldly goods. The amount OF the
legacy was not half SO interesting as the
place in which it was hidden for years.
Who in the world would think of looking
into bnstle for bank bills or anything
valuable?
Somebody peered into the late Mrs.
Perham's hustle and the look brought
forth S24 600 in cash. The close. was ran
sacked from the sugar. bowl down to the
breadcan. The bed was turned topsy-
turvy; the pillows were shaken up and
shaken down, and the tick, likewise the
stockings and the shoes, were turned in
side out. The trunks and the old chests
were turned upside down. The search
was complete; the find was rich. Gilt
edge bombs, savings bank books, cash,
everything together figured up to $64, 000
The case came up here In court to-day.
