Thirteen Miners. Each With a Small

Thirteen Miners Each With Small
Part of His Stake.
SEATTLE. Aug. 29.-With the arrival
of the tug Sea Lion at 2 20 this Sunday
morning came authentic news of the
treasure-shlp Portland. She was board
ed by press representatives, off Cape
Flattery at p. m. yesterday, and the
run to this city was made in a little
more than thirteen hours. The Port
land brings back thirteen miners, each
of whom brings out a small part of his
stake. The total amount of gold on the
vessel is perhaps 100000.
The Portland was delayed first by the
failure of the P. B. Weare to arrive at
st. Michaels, and next by a storm on
the North Pacific ocean.
The miners on board, with the amount
of their stakes, are as follows:

The reports that Colonel Pando, with a
force of Bolivians, has invaded the Peru
Wan province of Sandia, proves upon in

of Colonel Pando's followers is consider
ably exaggerated, however. It is prob

Portland Arrives From St.
Michaels.
LATEST NEWS FROM KLONDIKE
Provisions Scarce and Starvation Bound
to COme--TerribIe' Outlook for
Those in the Interior.

PoRT ANGELES, Wash, Aug 2S.-The
steamer Portland arrived from st.
Michaels tonight. Captain Kidston re.
ported pleasant voyage, and explained
the delay of three days in reaching Port
Angeles by stating that a very serious
storm at St. Michaels delayed the dis
charge of his cargo.
He laughed when told of the reports
that the Portland was carrying over
$4,000, 900 in gold. As matter of fact,
he said, there was only about 1925 900 in
gold dust and nuggets on board his
vessel.
Up to the time he left st. Michaels he
had heard of no new gold fields.
Among the Portland's passengers from
st. Michaels is Timothy Bell, who has
with him $4,000 in gold which he dug
from a claim that cost $l25.
William Og1Ivie, Dominion surveyor,
says the 800 claims now staked out will
yield $50, 900 ,OOO
From number of the Portland's 8
crew it was learned that Captain Kidston
had expected the Weare, one of the
company's boats, to come down the Yu-
kon with about 81 100000 worth of mug
gets and gold dust, but as she did not
arrive in time he decided to bring down
the treasure next trip.
The United States cutter Bear, it is
SAID, will guard the Portland on her
next trip from St. MichaeIs to Seattle.
As most miners will make their clean
nm nv that tima If 10 avDeotad tho port
lands cargo will be very valuable one.
The returning miners say that the re-.
markably rich claims on Eldorado creek
will number 140. Mr.. Ogilvie estimates
that, at the rate these l40 claims are
now producing, and considering the
ground yet to be worked, the amount in
the next three years will aggregate about
$40, 100000. To this must be added the
favorable possibilities of pockets and de-
Yelopment of claims already found, but
not opened.
There have been other rich strikes on
Stewart river, Hunker, Henderson and
Indian creeks, but none of these are as
rich as the claims on Eldorado or Bo-
nanZa creeks.
Until the wonderful discoveries of
Klondike were made, ground worth 10
cents to the pan, with two or three feet
of pay dirt. was considered very good for
the Yukon, and the miners made their
money with rockets and sluices. This
year the miners are passing entirely over
ground of this richness in their search
for sand and gravel that will pay like
that of the Klondike discoveries.
Up to date, none of the claims were
showing any signs of exhaustion, and
scarcely a dozen are more than well
opened. Every one has large areas of
ground to be worked.
One returning miner says it is impos-
sible to make anything like an accurate
estimate of the probable yield of the
mines. The ground is not at all even in
richness, and the worth of pay streaks
varies greatly.
The most important news from st.
MIchaels is that the river steamers left
there two weeks ago for their last trip
up. 1t is not certain they will reach
Dawson this fall, and the passengers
who left the Sound as early as July 25tt
may only reach Circle City before navi-
cation closes. This makes it certain

The piano on wheels which a couple of
Italians paraded about town to the amuse-
mcnt of the idlers and torture of the busy
people yesterday was the indirect agent of
serious injury to a child of one Of our most
prominent merchants last evening. When
the instrument was on Main street it at
tacted the attention Of Alberta the two
year-old daughter of John J. Bobbin, the
North Main street merchant. The child was
in charge of a nurse. who became as much
enchanted by the strains from the music
box as her charge and the result was that
when the instrument stopped at the corner
of Centre and White streets Mr.. Bobbins'
daughter and her nurse were close at hand,
and among the most intent listeners to the
strains that followed each effort Of the
Italians muscular movement. The child be-
came curious aud, when the nurse was alb
sorbed, strayed into the street. A grocer's
wagon approached. The nurse sprang for
ward, but the movement was too late Her
charge was already down and the wagon
passed over its breast. All the spectators
agreed that the child was mortally wounded.
Fortunately such was not the case. Alberta
was taken home by nurse and the parents
made an examination. Alberta's chest was
bruised, but the parents did not think it nee
essary to call in a doctor. The incident
caused no little excitement and there was a
general discussion on the question of liability

Many Surgeons Attend Clinic at tho In

sdtution Yesterday.
An important clinic was held at the state
hospital yesterday afternoon that was at
tended by q number Of surgeons from all
parts Of the region who were there on the
inyitaton of Supt. Biddle who performed
the operations.
The first patient was Samuel Zerburg, aged
40 years Of Tower City. He was injured at
Williamstown colliery In October 1892, when
he had his leg crushed under a runaway
bumper. He has been cripple ever SINCE
and recently he came to the hospital where
he was advised to have the injured member
amputated as the only means of prolonging
his life. He consented and to-day the limb
was taken of above the knee
The second patient was Clemenus d. Nash,
aged 27 years, of Shenandoah. He was in
iured internally at Packer No. colliery two
years ago while lifting timber and has been
sufferer ever since. The surgeons found
that a quantity Of pus had gathered in one Of
his lungs. The Estlander operation, involv-
ing the removal Of several Of his ribs was
performed very successfully and it is thought
that he will now fully recover.
The third patient was Chas. Savage, aged
As years, Of Gilbertou. He was injured at
the Gilbcrtou colliery on November 26th,
1896. when a premature shot resulted in one
of his arms being badly shattered at the
elbow. The operation included the opening
up of the arm at the elbow, and the ring OF
