SHORT CUT TO KLONDIKE.
Civil Engineer Tells Of q Nearer
Route to Gold Fields
Says That ut Small Expense Il Could
BE Opened Up Stories OF
Other Rich Gold
Districta.

There is q short and easy route to
the rich gold fields Of the Rondike, ac-
cording to communication to the in
terror department at Washington from
j. NJ C. Lewis, a civil engineer of Sa-
lem, Ore, who says he can open up
at small expense route from the
mouth of the Copper river, by which
the Klondike may be reached by jour
ney of not much more than 800 miles
from the coast.
The route which he proposes will
start inland from the mouth of the
Copper river, near the Miles glacier,
about IS miles east of the entrance to
Prince William sound. He says that
Copper river is navigable for small
steamers for many miles beyond the
mouth of it's principal eastern trib-
utary, called Oh the latest maps the
Chillyna river, which IS itself navigable
for considerable distance. From the
head of navigation on the Chillyna Mr..
Lewis says either a highway or rail
road could be constructed without
great difficulty or very heavy grades,
through what the natives call the Tow
pass" probably the Scoloi pass. From
this pass the road would follow the
valley of the White river to the point
where it empties into the Yukon, on the
edge of the Klondike gold fields.
George F. Becker, in an unpublished
report made to the geological survey
of his investigation in 1905 Of the
coastal gold districts, says that most Of
the islands of the Alexander archipel-
ago contain gold deposits, yet un-
worked, that would probably repay
very handsomely well directed efforts
Of placer mining. These deposits are
III the neighborhood of Sitka and gen.
orally on Baronof and Admiralty is
lands and the beaches Of the adjacent
mainland. @~''
Another fairly promising region is
in group of deposits on the Kenai
peninsula, on the southeast shore Of
Cook inlet and at Yakutal bay and the
beaches Of Kadiak island. These re-
gfons have as yetsbeen exploited only
to limited degree, owing to the UNI
favorable physical condition Of the
coast.

THE FRESNO CLUB WINS
A GOOD GAME OF BASEBALL
PLAYED YESTERDAY
It Was Anybody's Game Until the
Last Livingstone Grand
stand Plays

The baseball game at Athletic park
yesterday between the Fresno Repub-
licans and the home club resulted in IA
vor of the visitors by score of to 5.
The attendance was not quite as large
as was expected, but the kind and quail
ity of ball put up by the boys insures
them a good, big crowd today. The
regular Examiner team which repre-
sents this city will try conclusions with
the visitors today and if Tyler pitches
his game their scalps will dangle at
the belts of the local players.
Yesterdays game was anyone's game
until the last man was out in the min n
inning. Bentley, who did the twirling
for the locals, pitched an excellent game.
In the first inning he pitched but three
balls to retire the side. Mccarthy, the
first man up, hit to Guercio, who beat
him to the initial bag Britain hit an
easy fly to Bentley and Chance did the
same for Henry. Both sides drew a
blank in the second, but the visitors got
one man across the plate in the third.
Umpire Eagerer first called Mccarthy
out at the plate in that inning, but after

safe. Neither side scored after that un-
til the seventh inning. when both teams
scored two, and also one each in the
eighth.
The home team went in in the ninth
with one TO get to tie, and when the inn
ing was over the score was 5 to in IA
vor of the locals. The visitors were
equal to the occasion. however, as Nc
Carthy, the first man up, patiently
waited until he got four balls, Britain
sacrificed him to second and Chance
scored him with a beautiful drive to
left Waggoner followed and took first
on Bustillos' fourth error. j. Mccarthy
then hit hard line drive to left Chance
scored and the agony was over Ths
game was exciting and full Of brilliant
plays; the fielding of Hayes, Mccarthy
and Britain of the visitors, and Moore.
Held and Guercio of the locals, was of
high order, and the catching of both
Henry and Chance was perfect. Bent
ley pitched superb game; but two hits
were made on him until the seventh inn
ing.
The locals hit Mccarthy hard at times.
but only after two men were out ami
hits did no good. Henry's catch of
foul fly from Balszs bat in the sixth inn
ing was the sensational play of the day.
Britain caught hot liner from Guer-
clos bat and made a double play uu
assisted by touching third before Moore
could return. Britain is an old favor
ite of Los Angeles lovers of the national
game, as Is Balsz. Both men are play
ing excellent ball. and Balsz is said to
have even more speed than he had when
connected with the Los Angeles profess
sonals in 1892. The score of yesterday

IL City Hall Notes

At the meeting of the finance commit.
tee of the council yesterday morning
only Messrs. Toll and Mathuss were in
attendance, Mr.. Grider being out of the
city. The usual routine business. in the
shape of auditing demands. etc, was
cleared up. A proposition from
the bondsmen of the defaultins
police clerk, w. w. Everett. for
settling up the Indebtedness,
was also considered at some length,
The bondsmen are willing to pay into
the, city treasury $210O, if that amount
is accepted and they are relieved from
further liability. here is, however, an
additional, sum OF $44O for which the city
might be held. and it is on this point
that the difficulty over the settlement
has arisen.
Councilman Toll yesterday stated
that the committee might recommend
to the council the acceptance of the
proposition of the bondsmen If they, on
their part, would agree to guarantee
the payment of any portion of this $44O
over and above the $2100 for which the
city might be held. This the bondsmen
appeared to be willing to do, and the
matter will probably be closed up Mon
day. The committee finished up its
business, but did not prepare any form
al report, for the reason that some
changes might be decided upon before
Tuesday, as the council will not meet
until that time, Monday being legal
holiday
In the matter of the request of the
health officer for two additional inspect
ors, the committee recommended al
lowing the department one man at 81
per day to flush culverts and do such
other work as might be necessary.
