Deer Not so Plentiful.

The first OF the Calumet deer hunters
who started out after the heet-footed
animals got home yesterday afternoon,
when Mr.. Fred Eaton and DR.. j. A. Bobb
arrived on the afternoon train. I'VE
got seven apiece" almost whispered the
genial doctor to the reporter, but he
afterward acknowledged that neither he
or any OF the party had seen deer since
they were in the woods.
They were camped about ten miles
E5elow Sidnaw with several other Calumet
shunters They spent couple OF days in
the woods, but either their luck was
e5ad or there were no deer about that
neck OF the woods for not a member OF
the entire party caught sight of deer
until the morning they came away when
one OF the party came in with the report
that he had seen one and wounded it,
but it got away before he could follow
1T up.
They say that the deer are much more
plentiful the other side OF Sidnaw, but
the hunters are also more plentiful as the
woods in that vicinity are full OF sports
anen.
Although the season has not adl ance d
far, the shipments OF deer into this city
80 far has been very small, considerable
aess than last year.

with Duluth Jobbers.

Since the excursioa OF the merchants oil
the copper country to Duluth there has
been a noticeable increase in business be-
tween the two towns and the object Tor
which the excursion was arranged by the
Duluth people Is evidently bearing fruit.
Ia the railroad offices this increase is,
perhaps more noticeable than in any
other place and the increase in thefreight
received here from Duluth OF late has
been very marked.
Mr.. McFadzean OF the South Shore Of
fees at Duluth. who is in the city for a
few days on matters Of business says
that the business increase on that end OF
the line is also considerable and a
quantity of goods are being regularly
shipped to this city and in fact the whole
copper country.

A Broker Offers That
Amount For a Gold
Claim.
1t Is Owned by Mr.. Mercier.
Return IN "A Few Months snd
WORK IL.

Narcisse Mercier, the returned Klondik'
gold hunter who has been spending The
past three months with relatives here, re
Gently declined an offer OF 100000 FOL
his claim at the new I'll Dorado. The
offer was first made to him by San
Francisco broker who had heard OF the
fabulous richness OF Merciers' claim and
who met him in Seattle on his way home
from the gold fields. He then offered
Mercier $4,000 in cold cash for the
claim and the balance in three months,
but Mercier refused. Lately he received
a letter Offering the entire amount in
cash for the claim. Beside this MERCER
has received many rich offers tor the
claim, which is considered one OF the best
in the Alaskan fields.
His claim is No. II and is situated just
sixteen miles from Juneau, it being the
first claim on the way from the city.
HIS plans for his return TO the gold fields
'haye been about decided upon now. He
will leave here soon alter the holidays
and will go to California, where he has a
number OF friends whom be will visit for
two months and then go to Seattle from
where he will take the boat to the lower
part oil Alaska in March. He says that
boats will leave for the lower ports as
early as March, but they cannot leave for
the mouth OF the Yukon before July. He
is not looking forward TO anything but
hard trip and would advise no one to
try to make il unless they are in the best
of health and very strong physically.
A few days ago he received letter
from his partner, who is holding the
claim with man whom MERCER has paid
at the rate OF $500 a month for taking
care OF his share OF it, stating that six
boats were left stranded in the ice near
Juneau and that they would be smashed
60 matchwood before spring. The let
ter also said that there would be great
privation in and about the city this win
ter on account OF the scarcity OF food.
The letter said that the Canadian SOL

tax for everything imaginable. They
even taxed the miners for the wood they
cut to keep from freezing. There are
thousands there with little or nothing to
eat and they were already subsisting on
short rations.
Mercier intends to put in three more
years in gold hunting and contemplates
by that time to have enough money to
live in wealth for the remainder OF his
days. He will go ND next spring and re-
lieve his partner who will be gone for a
year on a visit with his parents in this
and then ne will return and he
and Mercier will work the claim for all
there is In it for two years. They had
already worked the claim for year

1NvIoLABILITY OF CONTRACTS.

Who are they who want U. S. bonds
changed into gold bonds instead Of coin
bonds, as they are now?
Who but the bond holders and their
hireling, lickspittle tools.
Who are those most deeply interested
in fixing the gold standard upon this
country?
Who but the same set of cormorants
and robbers. Their servile instruments
in power are active, and INSCRIPTIONS
in their service. The whole scheme is a
system of fraud and robbery OF the
American people.
Wall street has been trying for twenty.
five years to have the bonds Of the
United States changed from coin bonds
to gold bonds. In 1877 John Sherman
tried to get the attorney general of the
United States to give an opinion that
coin meant gold. The attorney-general
told him thatin 1870 the law provided
for both gold and silver; that the coin
bonds were issued that year, and that
coin then meant gold and silver, and by
their terms they were and are yet paya-
ble in gold and silver.
The Hon. Stanley Mathews of Ohio,
when in the senate, introduced a resolu-
ton which was adopted by the house,
declaring that the bonds Of the United
States are payable in either gold or sill.
yer. Cleveland wrecked the Democratic
party trying to force an issue Of gold
bonds, the effect of which would have
been TO eventually make all of our bonds
payable in gold. Mr.. Gage is now work
ing under a similar contract with Wall
street, and Mckinley is committed to
the issue of gold bonds and the retire
ment of the greenbacks.
These men talk about the inviolabili-
ty of contracts, when they are trying to
break their contract and get advantage
so as to rob the people. These men and
their hireling newspapers defend any
and every scheme of robbery that puts
millions into the pockets of these money
magnates; but all wrong to stand up for
the people and their rights under the
contract.

Secretary Gage puts the deficiency fol
the present fiscal year, ending June 80
1898, at s2S, 200, 900; end for the next
year, ending June 80, 1899, the deficit il
put at s2l ,647, 1856. These figures
however, do not exactly represent the
financial con1itions under the Dingley
law. The secretary includes payments
on account of the Pacific railroad bonded
debt, which have no rightful place in the
statement of treasury receipts. Prob
ably for the two years this will amount
to $40, 100000. So we have on the ad
mission of the secretary of the treasury
a deficiency for the first two and thirc
years of the Mckinley administration o
not less than $9O,OOO,OOO. 1t is pretty
sure to go above these figures and vii
likely exceed them this year. Ye
