YUKON PLACERS.
An Interesting Review of the Gold
Fields by w. H. Mills.

w. H. Mills of the Southern Pacific
Company, who is familiar with the top
ographical and geological features of
California through observation and
study, had something interesting to say
yesterday in reference to the new gold
fields of Alaska. He based his views
largely on conditions that prevail in
this State
1T is frequently a subject of sur
prised comment" he said, that the
science of geology has contributed so
little to the discovery of precious met
ais. The successful prospector enter
tains a disdainful contempt for the sug-
gestions of the science of geology
taught in the schools.
Veins Of silver, gold placers and aur-
iferous quartz" he continued, have
been discovered by those whose search
for them was not guided by the cos
mogony of the schools. Notwithstand-
ing this the miners accept theories at
the hands of the scientific geologists.
They believe in the glacial period of
the formation of the earths crust. They
have seen the glacial pavement. They
have observed the contour of the sur
face referable only to glacial action.
Their observation has extended to the
production of placers as referable to
this glacial action.
The most commonly accepted the
ory of the most successful prospectors
and miners relating to placer mines is
that they are the result of the erosion
of auriferous quartz. differences de-
rived from many facts confirm this the
ory
There are many places in California
where the surface placers are poor COM
pared with the richness of the placers
which lie two or three hundred feet
below. An instance of this relates to
the placers around Folsom in Sacra-
mento County. 1t is well known that
the town of Folsom is built upon fab
ulously rich placers which lie 200 feet
below the surface. The glacial erosion
that carves the canyon of the Ameri-
can River made rich deposits. which
were subsequently overlaid by the slow
decomposition of rocks, the natural
erosion of the hills and the gradual
formation of a vegetable mold.
If the theory entertained by the
most practical miners relating to the
origin of gold placers is to be accept
ed it would follow that the richest
placers are to be found where glacial
action is most recent This theory

MCKINLEY OFF ON HIS VACATION.
LEAVES THE CAPITAL FOR
LAKE CHAMPLAIN.
Will Put in Some of His Time For
mulating Plans for Currency
Reform Legislation.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-President
Mckinley left Washington to-day for a
vacation that may keep him away from
the city for six weeks. He was accom-
panied by Mrs. Mckinley. Secretary
and Mrs. Alger, Mr.. Porter. Assistant
Private Secretary Pruden and Execu-
tive Clerk Cortelyou. The White
House steward and a maid servant also
went along. Mrs. Porter, with her
children will join the party at Jersey
City.
About twenty minutes to y o'clock
the President took his departure from
the White House, occupying his private
carriage, with Mrs. Mckinley and the
maid. AS he left the house he bowed
to the persons who stood on the portico
to bid him goodby. The other mem
bers of the party had preceded the
President to the railroad station. They
go from here direct ITO Lake Cham
plain.
President Mckinley is determined to
secure currency reform legislation. To
this end he will have the active co-op-
Grafton of Secretary Gage, and will put
in some of his vacation time on his
plans.
The currency commission bill passed
by the House of Representatives on the
last day of the session is dead, and it
is not likely the President will revive
the project of having monetary re-
form measure framed and recommend
ed by a commission. 1t is now plan
ned that an Administration plan shall
be formulated during the summer and
autumn and submitted to Congress
when it convenes in December By
the time Secretary Gage submits his
first annual report to Congress next
December, he will, in all probability
have a plan formulated, which may
be submitted as the Administration
scheme of currency reform. That part
of the plan dealing with the banking
system will aim to provide safe and
elastic bank currency and it may en-
brace some of the features of the Ca
madam system, or what is known as
the Baltimore plan," which was so
generally recommended by bankers
when it was devised. 1t is expected
some provision will also be framed to
prevent the use of greenbacks as an
endless chain for the depletion of the
treasury.

CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
It's Relation to the Annexation of
the Hawaiian Islands.

WASHINGTON, July %. - Public
men in Washington were generally sur-
prised when the announcement was
made in the cable dispatches a few days
ago that the question of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty had been raised in the
British Parliament in connection with
the proposal to annex the Hawaiian
Islands to the United States. and also
were consequently prepared for the re-
sponse of the British Government that
the one question was not involved III the
other.
The matter is regarded here with all
the greater interest because both sub
jectS, the validity Of the treaty and the
annexation of Hawaii, are under cOnsid-
GRAFTON by the American Congress- and
both in all probability will receive at
tention during the next session. The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations,
which has already reported on the an
neXation treaty, has undertaken an in
veStigation of the Clayton-BulWer
Convention, and the general expecta-
ton on account of the prediction of the
members of the sub committee having
the question in charge is that a report
will be made favorable to the abrogation
of the treaty.
1t is understood that majority of the
members of the committee consider that
England has by repeated acts in Cen
trail America nullified the treaty. There
is also a large element in the Senate
which regards the treaty as obnoxious
to the Monroe doctrine. Others look
upon it as liable in an indirect way to
have, through its reference to the Mic
aragua Canal, a bearing upon the Ha-
Waiian question. 1t is understood that
the committee will be prepared to re-
port soon after the convening of Con-
gress next December. One of the
points of doubt on the part of the COM
mittee is how the treaty is regarded
by the British Government, 1t appears
that While England has generally acted
in Central American affairs as she
would have been expected to act if there
had been no treaty, the English auth0ri-
ties have never given expression to any
of the sentiments as to the continued
effect of the agreement made between
Secretary Clayton and Sir Lytton Bull
Wer.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hear
ing will, be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-

A VIGOROUS DENIAL.

The responsibility for the very peculiar
policy sodpted by the council in its deal
ings with the mayor can be shifted neither
to the shoulders of that gentleman, nor yet
to those Oft. d. Davidson, who is supplying
the city with power and lghts-notwith
standing the puerile effort so to do. .
Mr.. Townsend did not call the meeting
for the purpose of having the council pur-
chase the brewery property, any further than
heretofore indicated-to merely sign, as in
duty bound. the notifications for such a
meeting, at the request ofthe council.
Il has been urged by members Of the
council that it became necessary for the city
to provide independent power for the pump
ing station, because Mr. Davidson had re-
peatedly refused to enter into a contract
with the ci.y-consequentlyt the whole water
works system was within the power and
within of one man to render it ineffective at
any moment. The facts are, and the proof
is herewith Submitted, that during the past
four years and more, until week ago-long
after this present agitation had eventuated-
Mr.. Davidson had never been requested by
the council or the mayor to enter into any
such contract Mr.. Davidson has always
been ready to execute contract which
would be mutually satisfactory. There is
no sufficient reason why he should not and
no particular reason why he should desire
it, so long as he was being promptly paid
for his services at a price satisfactory to him
and the city.
Mr.. Davidson submits the following card,
which ought to be sufficient, for he is the,
soul of honor, but for fear it might not be
conclusive and convincing, he brings to his
support the statement of aldermen who have
served upon the council in unbroken chain
since 1894.
A CARD.
That | have been requested to enter
into contract with the city for furn-
ishing power and lights since 1893,
and have refused so to do is unquali-
fiedly false. The only time within that
period when such thing has been
suggested was last week, when Mr.
Ward suggested that by entering into
such q contract the existing trouble
might be fixed up, and that talk was
informal, nor did | then refuse-but
expressed a willingness to do so at
any time when a contract to which
both parties could agree should be
presented by the council.
T. d. DAVIDSON.
1t having been currently reported
through the city that L. d. Davidson
has been repeatedly requested by the
various city Councils during the past
three or four years to execute con-
tract with the city for furnishing
power for operating the water works
and for lighting the streets of the city,
and that he has repeatedly refused to
make such contract, we, the UNDER
signed members of the council during
the years indicated, desire to state
that during our respective terms of of
fee as indicated, no such request,
to our knowledge, was ever made of
him.
