CLAIMS ARE ALL TAKEN.
CIondyke Thronged With Disappointed
GOlp Hunters.

Clondyke Thronged With Disappointed
Golp Hunters.
San Francisco, Aug. 9.-Speaking of
the Clondyke output OF gold, the chief
clerk of the mint said:
"All the gold brought to this city
from the Alaskan mines will not eX-
ceed $500, 900, and all that has been
taken out this year and sent to the
other mints of the country will not ex-
ceed So, 900, 900. The gold from that
part of the country is generally from
700 to 800 fine and some of it rates 900,
the average being worth from $l5. 90 to
SIT an ounce"
J. G.. Butler, of the Pullman Car
Company, is in receipt of letter from
r. P. Taylor, financial broker of
Seattle. A few days ago Taylor re-
ceived word from some men whom he
sent to the Clondyke region last spring,
in which they inform him that every
claim within $50 miles of Dawson
City has been taken up, and that men
are rushing all over the country look
ing for locations. He says that star
walton and hardship stares many of
them in the face.
Captain Niebaum, of the Alaska
Commercial Company, who has made
a careful study of the situation, fears
there will be great deal of suffering
in the mining regions this spring He
thinks the people going are far in ex-
cess of the supplies that have been for
warded.
A letter from Hart Humber, a pros
pector, dated Dawson City, June lS,
just received, shows that the gold seek
er needs plenty of capital. After reach
ing Dawson and paying the heavy duty
on his outfit, besides 80 cents pound
for getting it over Chilkoot pass, he
will have to pay 25 cents pound to
get his stuff from Dawson to the dig
gings.
The rush to the Clondyke gold fields
is affecting the mineowners of the
mother lode in the vicinity of Sonora,
jackson and Sutter Creek, and if it con-
tinues will cause the closing down of
the mines in Calaveras, Amador and
Tuolumne counties, or their operation
with depleted forces.
In the past week 200 men have left
Amador county alone for the gold fields
IN the north and others are preparing
to follow. Some of them were hired
by mineowners in Alaska, but many of
them went on their own resources.
The other counties have also sent ex-
pert miners in large numbers.

MOVED THEIR CAMP.
The Strikers Won the Day at Turtle and
Sandy Creeks.

Pittsburg, Aug. 9.-Out of the 2, 600
strikers who camped at Turtle creek
last Saturday, barely 800 now remain
at Camp Determination. In addition
to the large number turned out of camp
and shut off from the free food distri-
button yesterday, many were drafted to
Plum creek, where the great struggle
for supremacy between the strikers and
the New York & Cleveland Gas Coal
Company will be carried on.
At Turtle and Sandy creeks the
strikers have practically won. Turtle
creek mine, known as No. 4, is closed
down as tight as the strikers can ever
hope to close it by their present peace
ful means of agitation. 1t is true that
a few men are still at work in the pit,
but they are not putting out any coal.
The same holds good at Sandy creek.
Reports from Plum creek are conflict
ing. Superintendent DeArmitt claims
that 255 men are still working, while
the strikers say they counted but 80 GO
ing into the pit this morning.
The deputies at Plum creek are hav-
ing hard time. Many are complain
ing, and number have resigned They
are up from before daylight until long
after the sun has set. They are on
constant strain. All the mines are con-
nected by private telegraph and teie-
phone wires, and every stranger or
body of strangers moving along the
highway are reported to the nearest
office by scouts, and the foremen or
managers of all the mines get notice.
At the point upon which any march
thus reported seems to be directed,
there is stir among the deputies. As
these marches are of almost daily oc-
currence day and night in all direc-
tions, the deputies are in constant
state of apprehension and activity.
The feeding and lodging facilities are
limited, and not adequate to the de-
mands made upon them, and what adds
to the deputies discomfort is the fact
that none of them are used to hard.

announced today the completion of his
latest discovery, the simultaneous
transmission of messages by means OF
the earth's electrical currents to as

the globe as may be desired" This he
regards as by far his greatest achieve

thrilling demonstration of the operation
OF his device for arresting and subject

natural substances in and about the
earth.
His latest invention or discovery is
to produce such a disturbance of the
electricity of the earth which can be
felt and noted simultaneously at all
parts of the globe.
IL am producing" said he in the
course of his demonstration, IAN elec.

This electrical disturbance by means
of certain simple instruments, can be

Seattle, Aug. 9.-There now remains
no doubt as to the fate of Charles A.

have been missing since April. Black

his body was diary stating his part

When the steamer Lakme sailed from
Seattle for Cooks inlet, Alaska, in
March, 1896, she carried among her
passengers Blackstone, hatcher and
Malique. The men attempted to cross
the portage glacier on prospecting
tour and were frozen to death. It is
evident Blackstone made his way down
the glacier to where it pitches into
Prince William sound. His body was
found at the foot of the glacier, to.
gether with the remains of his dog.
On his body was the following memo

FATAL CHICAGO FIRE.
Five Firemen Were Killed and Fifty
Wounded,

Wounded.
Chicago, Aug. 9.-Five lives were
lost in an explosion this evening dur
ing fire in the Northwestern grain
elevator, at Cook and West Water
streets. -Four of the dead are firemen:
the body of another fireman is thought
to be buried in the ruins. From the
force with which the explosion swept
the spot on which they were standing,
they must have been instantly killed.
Either the bursting of boiler or the
explosion of mill dirt caused the havoc.
The four tiremen, who were killed by
the falling walls of the elevator are:
Jacob }. Schnur, Joseph Strikman,
John j. Coogan and Jacob S. Stramer.
An unidentified man was blown into
the river, but the body was not recov-
cred.
Besides these dozens of firemen and
passers by We're more or less cut and
bruised by glass and flying debris. In
