the ordinary fee.
Rich strikes were soon made, and when
the news reached Circle City many of the
rough element crossed over into Canadian
territory. A few began prospecting for
themselves, but most of the rough charac.
ters claimed that the rich ground had all
been staked off. They began clamoring
that too much land had been allowed for
each claim, and boldly intimated that un-
less the resident authorities decreased the
size of the claims they would use force.
Both roughs and miners are we'll armed
and when the letter was written a clash
in which guns were certain to be used was
expected daily. Without regard to the
fabulous richness Of their claims, the
miners believe they are justified in hold
ing six acres apiece. They are fully pre-
pared to resist any encroachments and
will be backed by the police.
1t is claimed there are plenty of other
streams yet unprospected, if the roughs
are willing to work. Hope is general on
the Clondyke that the American Govern
ment will soon send police officers to the
Yukon to restrain the lawless characters.

place and was in the large waiting-room
of the Commercial Hotel, when he sud-

died.
His brother, Henry Rohrbacher of this

bacher, as the latter's daughter is very i'll.
He was finally found and took charge of
the remains, which will probably be sent
to San Francisco.
