Letter Verifying Phenomenal Finds In
 The Klondike
 The following is an extract from a letter recently received by a lady in New London, whose son Is In San Fran cisco:
 '"The steamer South Coast left last night loaded to the scuppers, and for time 1t looked as if the inspector of hulls and boilers would refuse to let her sail, but she got away all right. One man was afraid to go, so just before leaving he leaned over the vessels side and asked one of the coal passers If he wanted to take his place It was then within five minutes of sailing time, but the coal passer, black with coal dust. climbed abroad, to take possession of a ticket direct to Dawson City, and I made the shipping receipt for the gro- ceries and provisions, the freight amounting to $500 on 5000 pounds at 10 cents a pound, beside his baggage, of which he was allowed 150 pounds '"The Klondike excitement has start ed prospecting in this state with re- newed energy. A strike is reported at TuttletoWn where two men took out
  $42,0O0 in 4S hours, and on the Trinity river near Weaverville one man took out S71,0O0 in four days. One of the boys saw a. receipt from the Alaska Commercial company for S240. 900, for dust and nuggets which one man gave them to bring out for him.
 T saw, myself to-day draft on a Quebec bank for s1S0,000 and book of deposit in the Bank of California in this city for s20,O0O more-the result of seven months work This does not represent all he took out, as he sold out for S100,000 The other sums he took out of claim, the actual space worked be- ing only IS feet long the extreme width 31s feet, and not over 20 inches deep. "Of course this reads like fairy tale, but when they have the dust and documents to prove their statements one can credit all the reports that come from them.''

NOTES oF TIE MARA FITS.
Rapid Rise in Wheat and Rapid
 Break.

Cuthbert & Go. say of yesterdays market: Wheat had another exciting day, opening up wild, at 2 cents ad- vance here and advancing 1 cent fur ther for September, while Chicago open ed 8 cents higher for September and anvanced 31s cents further to $1,02A in the first ten minutes business. The advance was too rapid for even the bull clique and they sold some wheat at Chicago opening to profit by the rise prices for September at Chicago and Minneapolis broke down cents per bushel in the next fifteen minutes bus mess, while September here declined 2 cents in the same time. The decline op- tion huctuated in sympathy, but less violently. Later the trading quieted down and the market assumed a nor nal condition. Heavy foreign selling of contracts and re-selling of cargoes engaged last week for Liverpool and the failure of the foreign markets to respond as much as had been expected at the close, together with the engage ment of but five loads of wheat here for export. led to a sagging market in the afternoon, and the closing quota tions showed net advance of but F to S for December and 1 cent for Sep tember here, and 2A at Chicago. The tendency seems to be that prices will be maintained at about dollar until the crop begins to move freely.
 The stock market opened strong and moderately active, with MT. Housmann big buyer of the grangers and New York Central. Commission houses were also buying. The increased volume of mercantile business and the most fav- orable London advices, together with increased railroad earnings and London buying, supported the market.

Sun flowers were plentiful at the Rock yesterday, the occasion being the annual meet of the county commission CTS and high sheriffs of the state.

The size of the sun flower depended on the individual taste of the sheriff
