According to telegraphic advices the

mines, to. keep out the. strikers, are

ments. to,the constitution of the United
States, reads: "Neither slavery nor in
voluntary servitude, except as pun

shall have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States, or any
place subject to their jurisdiction" !"
If driving men to woykk, at the point Of
the pistol, is not slavery in it's most ag-

common sense, what is it?s Have the

| The value Of the Yukon gravel is not
40 yeEy remarkable compared with
much that was found in California in
early days, says the Mining ing and and Scien-
tific Press. La the Dardanelles mine,
in Placer county, a single pan yielded
$500. Many others taken out Of crew
ices produced nearly as, much. in other
of the drift mines in the Forest Hill.
But in the shallow placers Of earlier
days it was no uncommon thing to find
from 500 to $500 in a pan. A present
resident Of Nevada City, California, A.
Isoard, got $9I2 from opa painful on
September 13, 1850. He and his. part
ners that fall took s164,OOo from piece
of ground thirty feet square in their

Why go, to frozen Alaska for gold,
when we have as good diggings and
far better climate nearer home. Re-.
cent advices from the City of Mexico
say that when the gold placer mining
is developed in the state Of Guerrero
more gold will be taken out than in the
Klondike region. Some placer mining
is being done with excellent results,
and labor is cheap and water abundant,
even in the dry season. One miner, an
old Californian, reports taking out
$4,000 in gold in May, and his average
is $4,000 per month. The Indians in
Sonora, who work in a crude way in
the local gold plaoers, only operating
when in pressing need Of money, get
large returns for very little labor, and
an explorer who has recently been
through the remotest regions states
that Sonora will equal California in its
