SAN FRANCISCO, July 26.-In spite of
the warnings that have been given out
by returning miners concerning the pos
sibilities Of starvation in the Klondyke
country during the coming fall and win
ter thousands of people here and else
where are bending every energy to reach
the land Of the golden fleece. Most of
the available steamers have been char.

they will have a full complement of
passengers when the time for sailing
arrives.
The gasoline steamer Chelcow has
been purchased by an English syndicate
for $4,000. 1t is the purpose of the syn
dictate to take 100 mel who will put up

PADUCAH, KY, July 26.-There were

the Casino theatre, and it is announced
by the physicians that none of those
burned or trampled upon are in a seri.
Gus condition. No limbs were broken
ami ;he bruises are slight. Owing to
the audience consisting mostly of

much relief over the fact that no lives
were lost and that no one was seriously
injured.
A performance was being given to
about 600 people when the fire broke
out from a fireworks display on the
stage.
The building was covered with tar
paper and was q mass of flames in a
very short time.
"The Streets of New York" was be.

on the stage to produce the scenic effect.
When the excelsior was ignited a lamp

FARMING IN ALASKA,

Secretary Wilson Believes Some Things
Can BE Raised Up There.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson believes that con.
gress at it's next session will authorize
the establishment of an agricultural
station in Alaska. He said that he
had no doubt the people in some
parts Of Alaska would be able to
produce their OWL vegetables, and
to some extent the cereals they will
need. The hardy classes of animals, he
said, also could be grown there. The
cattle from the mountains of Scotland,
he believed, could be raised successfully
in Alaska, but SO far as is known now,
the mining regions in the vicinity of the
headwaters of the Yukon river are
about 1000 miles away from any part
of Alaska in which agriculture could be
successfully pursued.

Rich Finds Reported in the Old Silver
Cliff Camp.
SILVER CLIFF, Colo, July 26.-If a
find which has just been made here
turns out as expected, Colorado may
have a Klondyke of its own, and this
old Custer county camp will take on q
new life. Discovery was made by
James Foulke, a we'll known Custer
county man, who has been looking over
the ground about Il mile southwest of
town, and near the waterworks. Foulke
got out some quartz rock, heavily
charged with sylvanite. The rock
showed some fine gold. 1t was brought
to town and tested. Some of the syl-
vanite was roasted and brought out
great gold nuggets. News Of this dis.
covery quickly spread, and within a few
hours there was a rush to the new dig
gings. A dozen claims were taken up
before night, and the whole Of Silver
Cliff seems to be going to the seen, of
the find. The new camp is directly be-
tween the Zoo and Rattlesnake noun.

Secretary Sherman Comments on
the Proposal to Enforce the
Alien Act
Against American Miners Now
FlOcking to the KlOndyke
Region.
Our Alien Mining Law Has Never
Been Enforced, But It
Might Be.

NEW YORK, July &c. Secretary of
State John Sherman is at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. He will leave at once
for Amagansett, l.. l., where he ex-
poets to rest for several weeks. The
secretary was asked what he thought of
the reports that the Canadian govern
ment proposed to enforce the alien act
against American miners now 1ocking
to the Klondye gold fields.
II don't know" said he. "We have
an alien law of our own. We have
never enforced it against gold miners.
Canadian citisens have been free to
come to the United States and mine
gold under the same terms as our own
citizens. There has never been any
friction over the matter. I do not an.
ticipate any serious trouble with our
Canadian neighbors on~that score.
"Where a man has taken up a land
claim for the purpose Of residence and
cultivation, we have always insisted
that he be q citizen. The same has been
done under the Canadian government.
where q man has simply prospected
for gold with the intention of digging
into the ground a little ways and tax.
ing what he could find from land
against which there was already no
claim, he has never been interfered with
on our side Of the border.
II do not think that the Canadian
government will change that course of
procedure. If they do it may lead to
fully as much embarrassment to Cana
dian as to American miners. From the
meagre reports received it looks as if
there might be as much gold on our side
Of the Alaska line as OH theirs"

Now Mr.. Hanna may we'll be
open to attack, his candidacy
may well invite mud singing,
but his Democratic rival for the
seat in the United States Senate,
which Mr.. Hanna now holds by
grace of appointment, and which
he desires to hold on to by grace
of election, is not the one to
throw mud at mis- opponent. His
own skirts are not clean enough
to make mud singing profitable.
He can i'll afford to reduce the
campaign to a personal level.
Mr.. Mclean has not as yet made
this plunge ir~revocably, he has
not as yet so far turned his back
on the silver issue that he cannot
get back, but if reports do not
much belle him he has shown
that principle rests lightly upon
his brow, that greed for place
not a regard for principle is up
permost in his mind; that he is
ready to purchase self. advance
ment by an abandonment of
principle. And he is not alone
among those giving evidence of
a longing to put the silver oues-
ton to one side. Where he leads
others are ready to follow. That
he can profit by turning his back
on silver, and making the cam
paign one for spoils, is not at
all likely. All the Democrats of
Ohio are not ready to go with
him, and then there are thous-
ands OF men in Ohio, formerly
Republicans, who have acted
with the Democratic party on
the silver issue, but who cannot
be expected to stand by the
standard bearers of that party if
they abandon the silver issue

In no section of the mineral
belt are the prospects more
promising than in the state of
Idaho. The great mining tidal
wave hat is gathering force all
along the line will strike Idaho
with full power, for its mineral
advantages invite the closest
scrutiny. AS a commonwealth,
Idaho suffers from inadequate
railway facilities and always will
on account of the topography of
the panhandle, but the fact that
a great deal of the ore produced
must find an immediate outlet
into adjacent states will in no
wise interfere with the develop
ment of her mining districts or
discourage capital from seeking
investments within her borders.
Placer mining is receiving a
great deal of attention in Idaho,
and there, as well as elsewhere,
it is found that the old timers
did not strike bedrock, but stop
ped operations when a false bot
tom was encountered. Thus the
old workings offer splendid in
ducements to the modernly equip
ped miner, and no state can boast
of a wider area of such profitable
ground. Idaho is scanned with
rich veins of quartz and in ad-
dition 10 her already great mines
the future is full of promise to
the prospector. Little wonder
that the eye of the eastern in
weston is conferred upon that
state. 1t is a jewel in the crown
of the mineral empire.-Western

formerly of Ketchum, has charge
of the business.
There has been more prospect
ing going on here this summer
than for years past, and many
new locations have been made in
both quartz and placers.
Frank Rapp and others, of
Stanley Basin, have made some
valuable discoveries in quartz
and are developing thereon.
Cal G. Clawson discovered a
placer territory at the head of
Jordan creek, six miles from
Custer, located a lot of ground
and called it the Klondike Placer
Belt. He says it is good GRUB"
diggings, anyway, and that beats
the Alaska Klondikes at present.
The outlook, take it all round,
is favorable for the Custer camps
for an indefinite period of time.
