Henry DoRe and His Fortune Hazt-

After Great Privatfon.

OF Henry Dore. a young French Canadian.

OF hardship and suffering reads like .

pore resided in Seattle several years
prior TO the early spring OF 1896. Tall, well
proportioned and by habit and occupation

life, although this was his home, his ayo-

cessas OF the primeval forests. He made
a number OF close friends here. however,

Early In the spring OF 1886 Dore became
restless and dissatisfied with his life here.
He longed for chance OF winning a for
tune IN the frozen. North. He was poor
and unable to raise enough money TO Sc
cure the necessary outfit. With the aid
of a friend. however. he was finally en-
abled 10 purchase the required supplies.
He sailed early in APRIL 1886, and came
back to civilization on the steamer Port

man. BY nature not communicative ex-

that he kept his own counsel while here.
He spent the greater part of a week in
searching for his old friend. William

money when he first started for Alaska

Crawford, Conover 4 Co. Establish 4
Dawson City Branch.

Messrs. Crawford. Conover & Co., the
well known investment brokers, whose
time-honored trademark is references
every bank and business man In Seattle"
announce that they have established a
branch office At Dawson City in charge
of Mr.. r. NJ. Crawford. who went to the
Clondyke gold fields early last spring, and
has thoroughly familiarized himself with
the district and all of the properties.
Mr. Crawfords knowledge will give the
firm an opportunity TO make safer and
more reliable investments than are likely
to be had By persons rushing into tn
country now. During the entire winte
the firm will dispatch monthly advice
with funds for investment to the Dawso,
City branch by mail. and as no persona
representative can reach the district dur
ing the winter. this will afford the only
absolutely reliable means OF securing
holdings before the grand rush OF next
spring. and before the consequent doub-
ling and trebling Of values.

AMOUNT TAKEN OUT.
Some Of Those Who Made Strikes on
the ClOndy!~e.

inc Stou0NsNcs
To give an accurate list OF those who
returned from the North and the amounts
they took out would be impossible. Many
who made rich strikes gave out figures
before leaving Dawson City. Those fig
ures have been given in letters written
to people In Washington. Oregon and
California But the amount taken out
was, in some instances, not brought Gown.
Part of ii was invested in new claims
Below Is given a partial list. 1t IL made
up OF the list sent down by Arthur Perry
Perry's list is conceded to be accurate
Other figures were obtained from inter-
views with miners. Tho list includes
those who came down on the Excelsior
and landed at San Francisco. as well as
those who returned on the Portland The
list foots up over $1,000. 900. A careful es-
innate places the amount brought Gown
on the two boats at 81 .5cn, 600 which means
that at least $780, 010 must have remained

Behring Sea Seizures Commission
Files Its Findings.
SOME OF THE CLAIMS MADE
Not 0nly Wanted the Value Of the Ships
But Prospective Profits and
Iaterest.

Washington. Dec. a.-The nndInss n
the Briush-Amer1can COMMISSION chosen
to assess damages for the seizures of
British ships In Behrfng sea. have been
received by the state department and
the British embassy.
The controversy has occupied the AZ.
tention Of the authorities here and IN
London for the last eleven years. At
the outset the tone Of the controversy
was beIligerent, suggesting a possible re-
sort to arms. This was following the
seizure by the United States steamer
corwin Of the British seaIers Carolina
and Thornton on August /. 1856 The
facts OF the seizure were not known un-
I'll some time later and IN the meantime
the Corwin had taken the Onward and
Favorite. The same policy Of seizure
AMI conflscation occurred during the
next sealing season. despite the protests
Of Great Britain. the United States
steamer Rush. taking the saywarB
Grace, Anna Pack. Dolphin. Alfred
Adams Triumph. Junita. Pathfinder.
Black Diamond, Lilly, Arctic. and the
Kate and Minnie, and the cutter Bear took
the Ada.
The claims for these seizures took a
wide range. beginning with the value Of
the vessels and their outfits and lnciud-
ine not only. the value of the sealslxins
conhscatei. but also the value Of the
skins which might have been taken II
the ships had not been seized. This last
feature of prospective damage caused
the main contention. In the case OF each
British ship the largest item OF claim
was for the estimated future catch. For
instance. in the case OF the Carolina. the
claim for the ship was only $1,000 while
that for the skins which might have been
taken that year n she had not been
seized. was s1s6s7. Each ship estimated
a prospective catch Of from 500 to 5000
skins. the vaue being from $50 per skin
in 1887 to s1225 In lSSS. The total OF the
claims without interest amounted StsS.1sl
and with interest at per cent and other
charges the total reached s7s6.1ss.
