section of the Yukon, and, in fact,
from Circle City upstream for several
hundred miles, are extremely wild and
rugged At the Clondike there crosses
the big river what is known as the
great copper belt which is a succession
of massive quartz lodges, with that
metal predominating. The veins are
known to carry gold, but in what pro-

a transportation company located a

Here conditions were favorable for

speaking of today's meeting at Pitts

miners. There are from 1000 to 5000
miners In the southeast district, and
there are about 10000 in the state.
Not all Of them are union men. I
think they are about equally divided.
In the southeast these men are getting
good wages. Kansas miners, as a
whole, are satisfied with their own
condition, but they may go out for
sympathy.
"In all our mines," continued Mr..
Devlin, 1--WE have contracts with our
workmen. They are paid S71s cents per
ton in summer and 95 cents in winter"

ton of solid gold on board, and sixty
eight passengers on board. In the
captains cabin are three chests and O

600, and most of it was taken out of
the ground in less than three months
of last winter, and in size the nuggets
range from the size of a pea to a
guinea's egg. OF the sixty-eight miners
aboard hardly a man has less than
SI,O00, and one or two have more than
100000 in yellow nuggets. One pc
culiar feature noticed is that the big
strikes were made by ''tenderfeet,"
while old and experienced miners are
suffering indescribable hardships in
Alaska and the Northwest territory
and have only a few thousand dollars
to show for their labor. Fortune
seemed to smile on the inexperienced
men who went into the mining dis
tricts late last year, as nearly all of
them We're fortunate.
Instances are noted where single
individuals have taken out in two and
a half months gold to the value of
over $150000. Clarence Berry, of
Fresno, Cal, went to the Yukon in
1890, and prospected several years
without success. He returned home
last autumn. was married and took
his bride to the Klondyke last No
vember. He is now on the Portland
with $135,000, the result of winters
work and fortune. Frank Phiscator,
OF Baetoba, Mich, is another lucky
miner. He went to the Klondyke last
autumn. and is now returning with
$96,O27, having worked two claims with
nine men three months, and he still
owns the claims. He was one of the
original discoverers of the district.
While it is a poor mans country, yet
the hardships and privations to be en-
countered by inexperienced persons
unused to frontier life is certain to re-
suit in much suffering. They should
go prepared with at least a years sup
plies.

Republican Conferees Get Together in the Matter Of
the Disputed Schedules of the Bill.
AN ENTIRELY NEW SUGAR SCHEDULE.
Senate Saves Something, But the House Rates Re-
stored in Great Measure-Duty on Hides-Two-
Dollar Pine Goes-No Tax on Bonds

WASHINGTON, July 17.-When the
Republican conferees on the tariff bill,
representing the two houses of con-
gress, adjourned at o'clock today, the
announcement was made on behalf of
each Of the houses, that they had
agreed on all the items of the bill, and
that the result Of the partisan confer
ence would be submitted to the Demo-
cratic members of the conference at
full meeting to be held on Monday.
This announcement had been made
informally to the Democratic members
of the conference at noon, and had
formed the subject of general specula-
ton about the senate during the after
noon. 1t appeared, after the informal
statement was made that there was
still much to be done in the way of

the senate rate. The differential on
refined sugar is, however, one-eighth
of cent per pound, while the senate
differential was one-fifth.
The house also secured the elimina-
ton Of the one-tenth of a cent reduc-
ton allowed on jaggory and other low
grade sugars testing below 81 degrees
by the polariscope. 1t is claimed that
the increase on the higher grades of
sugar, which will result from the in
crease of the polariscopic graduation al
lowance, will add materially to the pro-
lection to the beet sugar industry The
refiners necessarily receive incidental
benefit.
Following are among the more impor-
tant changes made in other schedules:

the 20 per cent fixed by the senate. The house

SEATTLE. Wash, July II. The
steamer Portland has just arrived from
Clondike with a million dollars in gold
dust. There is great excitement here
over this renewed verification Of the
stories that have been told The steam
| er brings the latest news of the Eldo-
| rado, which is about the same in tone
as what has come out in the past ten
days. Claims that cost nothing but la
Dor and energy have been sold at from
$4,000 to 100000, and dust to a value of
$100 or more comes from single pans
of gravel, and so on to the limit of
credibility
1t seems apparent and evident that
the richest placers ever found are on
the Clondike, and that the sources of
the gold that have filtered down these
rivers, when found, will startle the

SEATTLE, Wash, July 1.-THE re-

ka have caused intense excitement
here. Policemen are resigning from the
force; every street car man that can
raise a stake has given notice to his
company. In fact, all classes of So
cNety are represented in the feverish
rush to get north. The steamship of
ficers are rushed with business, and
outfitting stores are taxed to their ut
most capacity to supply the wants OF
those who are getting ready to make the
trip. Merchants are fearful that their
help will leave them, and they will be
unable to fill their places
