hrSt attempted the construction OF a teie-
graph line from San Francisco northward
through the Pacific States and Terrific
ries to connect with the Russian line at
Its then terminus at Amoor, Siberia. Mr..
Collins subsequently transferred his in
terest to the Western Union Telegraph
Company, which built many miles OF
line, but. owing to the successful laying
of the Atlantic cable, finally abandoned
the enterprise. Mr.. Libby had charge of
a division at Cape Prince of Wales, ana it
was during this time of service that he
saw indications of what he now believes
to be immense deposits of gold. The i'm
preston on his mind even at that time
was strong enough to make him resolve
that at his first moment OF leisure he
would make some investigations. The
party OF which he was in com mand, how
ever, was somewhat abruptly recalled
from Alaska and he was unable to carry
out his intention.
The remoteness and accessibility Of
the place prevented him from returning.
and not till the rich strikes were made
on the Yukon and Klondike rivers, thirty
years later, did he resolve to carry out
his long-deiayed resolution. He states
that the topography of the country and
character of the soil are so similar TO the
gold fields OF the Klondike that he has
not the slightest doubt that he will un-
earth treasure that will equal or even ex-
eel the richness of the placers near Daw-
son. His greatest expectation is to find
quartz ledges. The party will go by
steamer one hundred miles farther orsh
to Golovin Bay. From that point they
will proceed in the boats they have brought
along to the prospective new Ell Dorado.
Ii they meet with the success they antici-
pate they will lay out a townsite, secure
water rights. locate on as many claims as
the law will allow, and then invite the
world to make them visit.

Death Rate From Yellow
Fever Decreases at
New Orleans.
No Indication That the Plague
Will Assume an Epi-
demic Form.
At Edwards, Miss, the Disease
Appears to Be Growing More
Violent.

NEW ORLEANS, LA. Oct A. For
enty-four hours, closing at nIghtiaii,
there had not been single death recoroeo
in the office of the Board of Health. Yes
terday there had been thirty-one new cases
reported, and al O. clock tonight twenty
two were reported since O'Clock last
night. Yesterday there we're under sur
veillance nearly 200 premises in which
yellow fever had been declared to exist,
and in some of the houses there were tour
or five cases, yet not a single one hao
proved fatal in twenty-four hours.
The result was that tonight the ceate
rate had fallen to trifing excess over'
1011 per cent, and the prospects for an
early stamping out of the disease had
been consiI erably frightened. There is
no indication that the sickness will as
sumo an epidemic form. All fear of that
he's disappeared, and people who have
their families al other points are begin
ming to make arrangements TO bring them
back. Many patients were discharged to-
day as recovered.
At a special meeting of the board of
health this evening it was decided that
the ship bringing 800 Sicilian inn migrants
upon arrival here shall be detained at
quarantine at the mouth of the river until
further orders and notice to this effect
was sent to Collector Wilkinson.
Six days have passed since Ocean
Springs has had any yellow fever. If the
present immunity from disease continues
until Friday of the current week The
hoard OF health will officially declare the
Mississippi resort free of fever.
Ocean Springs was the first to contract
the disease and will probably be the first
TO get rid OF it.
EDWARDS, Miss, Oct. 4-Three new
cases OF yellow lever have been reported
Today. V. L. A. Moss whose name ap-
pears in the list of new cases, has been
acting Mayor on account of Mayor Red
fields illness. There is only one member
of he City Council on his feet to-day.
The fever seems to grow more violent
every day and relapse is one of the
worst features to be feared. Already sew
eral deaths have been caused from relapse.
Mrs. G. w. Redfield Sr. died at 1 O'Clock.
This is the fifth death in the Redfeld
family.
VICKSBURG, MISS, Oct. 4.-Dr. Met
calf OF Natchez has gone 10 take charge of
the cases of yellow fever at Nitta Youma.
Messages from G. FL. Blum stated that the
local physician declined 10 treat the
disease; that Miss Thompson, one of the
sick In his house, was sinking. and tn at
Operator Smith, the depot agent, was
sick and there are two sus picious cases.
The State Board of Health ordered Dr.
Metcalf to the scene. Blum's message
also reported two suspicious cases, ne
groes, at Nitta Youma. Five nurses were
is over and the town is free from suspi-
cious cases.
MOBILE, ALA, Oct. 4-There were
seven new cases of yellow fever and one

are 1000 feet, but on Hunter, by general
consent of the miners, they have been re-
duced to 500 feet. Half interests in these
claims are being bought and sold for from
$1,000 to $500. The town of Rampant
City has been located at the mouth of
Mannook Creek on the Yukon, and lots
are as high as $50 that were taken
few days before at the price of recording,
81 50.
1t is to this place that the Hamilton will
return, and there probably all the other
boats will winter. Doubtless much of
the population of the upper river, Daw-
son, Circle and Forty Mile, will go there
to winter-food unable to go to them. they
will go to it. The passengers of the Ham
llton held meeting to-day, by request of
the captain, and majority of them voted
In favor OF returning at once rather than
to lie here upon the mere hope Of rise.
Baked in their desire to go to Dawson
they wish to hasten to do what seems to
them the next best thing-seek claim
on the Mannook. The Hamilton passed
here yesterday and found itself unable to
pass the rapids few miles above. It re-
turned here and ten tons of whisky and
hardware were put ashore, the boat ris-
ing six inches. Another attempt was
made early this morning, but failure again
resulted, the boat sticking in the sand.
For some time it was thought she was
irreclaimably caught in the sand, which
meant crush in the ice break next spring
and the loss of the steamer-as the Arctic
was lost last spring. She was got off,
however, and returned here, the captain
satisfied that the passage could not be
made. 1t was then he asked the passen-
gers to decide what they wished as an al
tentative of going forward, and they de-
cided for Mannook. All the newspaper
correspondents return with the boat, save
one besides myself. AS leave consider
ably in advance of the one other equipped
for better speed shall arrive at Dawson
several days in the lead.
Jack Carr, who carries the mail from
Juneau, arrived here to-day. He says
there are 1000 peopte on the trail bound
for Dawson, and about 1000 already
there; that Heaiy'S store (the North
American Trading and Transportation
Company's) has been closed, as they
have nothing to sell, and the store of the
Alaska Commercial Company limits pur-
chases to two sacks of flour, and admits
but two persons to the store at one time.
And in that condition they are waiting for
the up-riVer boats that | go now to tell
them will not come. SAM w. WALL.
