and Captain Nelson at once chartered
her to go to the scene of the disaster
and salve the vessel. Just as she was
ready to sail the Canadian authorities
stepped in and refused TO allow any but
a British vessel to work on the strand
ed ship, as she was ashore on British
territory. Captain Nelson then char
tered the British tug Car, and the
large Wrecking pump on the WhitelaW
was removed to her. She started yes
terday for the wreck and il Will be
known definitely before the week is out
whether the vessel can be saved or not.
Captain Metcalf, Lloyd's surveyor,
went to the wreck on the Car and his
advice will probably be followed in the
matter. Captain Nelson. the owner of
the Cleveland, is of the opinion that the
vessel is not seriously damaged, and
that she will be got off and repaired
without much difficulty.
The Pacific Mail Company's steamer
Aztec and the Oceanic Steamship Com
panys Australia both arrived from
Honolulu yesterday. Both vessels en-
countered strong head winds, and ii
took the Aztec ten days and four hours
to come UP, while the Australia, in
spite of the adverse circumstances,
made il on schedule time. On the goth

Travel from Australasia to the Klon-
dixie will be very heavy next year and
the Oceanic Steamship Company is
preparing for it. All the available
space on the Mariposa, due here in
February, and the Moana, due here in
March, has been engaged. In the case
of the Moana the bulk of the passen-
gers will come from New Zealand and
the permit is to be obtained from the
Government for permission to erect
berths in some of the space reserved
for freight No passengers from Hon
Olulu Will be carried on this steamer,
and tourists will have to depend on
the regular boat. In Sydney and Mel
bourne the demand for accommodation
is very great and the chances are that
all the steamers for the next three or
four months viii be crowded. The
dearth Of steamers at this end to run
between San Francisco and Dyea and
San Francisco and st. Michael is go
ing to be a great drawback. A we'll
known steamship man said yesterday
that all the available steamers on the
coast could not accommodate a rush of
more than $4,000 people at the outside,
and as it is estimated that a hundred
thousand miners will pass through
San Francisco alone the question
arises as to how the remaining half of
that number viii reach their destina-
ton. All available sailing vessels have
been chartered and the holders of
them will not part with them at any
! price. Parties have been round the
| various steamship companies trying to
! buy up blocks of two hundred or three
! hundred tickets which call for trans
! pOrtation to Dawson City, but have
! failed as the companies positively re-
fuse to sell tickets in advance.

ELDORADO COMPANY.
Proposition on Foot To Reorganizs
and Prosecute Work.

Since last January no work what
ever has been done by the Eldorado
Mining Company at Eldorado Can
yon, this county. The Company
has operated there for over 30 years
with varying results. Up to five
years ago silver ores were worked
and the bullion as shipped was al
ways within point or two of being
pure, or 1000 fine.
Five years or more ago the Com
pany purchased some gold bearing
claims, reconstructed portion of
its mill and worked successfully for
about three years on gold ores.
Since that time other gold lodges
have been found thereabouts and it
has been apparent for some time
that new mill would be required
to properly and probably treat the
ores.
On the death, of w. S. Mills two
years ago, who had been Superin-
tendent of the Company for many
years, number of the eastern
shareholders concluded to let their
interests take care of themselves
with the result that the Company
got into debt.
A confession of judgment for
$2500. 90 in favor of Chas. Gracey
was entered in the district court
here this week and this is believed
to be the beginning of a reorgani-
cation of the company by which
some of the present owners will
acquire larger interests and will
build modern gold mill at the
Canyon and resume active work.
1t is not likely however that much
will be done before cold weather
comes as the heat in that section is
too great during the summer months
to admit of much outdoor work in
the way of putting in and handling
new machinery.

A POLITICAL GATHERING.

Men From San Francisco and Nevada
in Convention at Carson.
There was quite a convention of
distinguished politicians from vari-
GUS parts of Nevada and from San
Francisco at Carson last week.
Among those present were Hon. A.
@. Cleveland of White Pine, Hon.
Enoch Strother and Colonel w. j.
Sutherland of Virginia, G. G. Wal
lace, j. E. Dennis, w. L. f. Deal
and others whose names our infor-
mant did not learn.
1t was surmised by outsiders that
matters of State were discussed and
that all did not agree as to the can
didates for Senator and Representa-
tive in Congress. There were con-
fiictive elements and as conse-
quence diverse opinions, Some
openly expressed themselves for
Stewart for Senator while Others
were strongly in favor of Cleveland.
1t is an encouraging sign that
the headquarters have been remov-
ed from the Palace Hotel, San Fran
cisco to the Arlington at Carson.
This is attributed to the influence of
Charley Shortridge, who spent some
months studying politics in Nevada
and left for San Francisco last week
The knowing ones say he attended
a meeting at the Palace few days
ago and suggested that it adjourn to
the Arlington at Carson.

COMMISSIONERS PROCEEDINGS.


The County Commissioners held
their regular monthly meeting last
Monday.
Members Simpson and Syphus
were present only.
The first act was to open bids
submitted for the surrender of
county scrip. Ten bids in all were
filed. The amount advertised for
redemption was s225O. and bids up
to 70 cents were accepted, proving
sufficient to absorb the funds.
George Ingram of the Muddy
was permitted to redeem his proper
ty from tax sale on payment of tax
and costs, amounting to $50.
VIM. Wheatley offered $500 for
the remains of an old cabin on the
old Tempahute property, which the
county acquired for taxes, and it
was ordered sold to him.
The regular bills against the
county were allowed and the re-
ports of officers were accepted.
1t was ordered that $500. be
transferred from the General, to
the Salary fund; after which the
board adjourned until the first Mon
day in July.
The meeting was shorter than
usual on account of the absence of
one member, and the District At
torney, who was engaged in court.

WHAT is FOUND IN THE PHILIP
PINES.
A lluvial Gold is Found in the Island of
Mindanao and Copper Deposits in
Luzon-- Coal is also Found.

"Notes on the Philippines" have
been issued by the State department
as No. 131 of the advance sheets of
the consular reports. One expert
extensively quoted, Frank Caruth,
says that extensive gold deposits
have been opened up quite near the
sea assuring large output for many
years to come. 1t has also been
proved that they extend over wide
district.
Alluvial gold is found in the
island of Mindanao and there are
extensive copper deposits in Luzon.
While no true coal has been found
there is Ignite of very good
quality, quite useful for steam
vessels This is in great quantity.
Roughly-washed alluvial gold has
been found to contain rubies.
There is no want of labor at cheap
rates, and on the whole the general
conditions for mining are excep-
tionally favorable.
Some facts of interest aside from
mining are noted. For instance the
Philippine archipelago contains
nearly two thousand islands. Two
OF them are larger than Ireland,
Luzon with $4,000 and Mindanao
with $4,000 square miles. Earth.
quakes are not infrequent. The
rainfall is not excessive nor is it con-
tinuous.
The climate is very healthful for
a tropical region and diseases such
as yellow fever are unknown. The
natives are mostly Malayas, but in
the interior are remnants of race of
Papuan origin.
The author of the pamphlet speaks
in the highest terms of the charac-
ter of the natives. The family tie is
very strong, children are orderly,
parents respected and the race has
an inbred courtesy and prudence
and ready hospility is never miss
ing. Eight million natives inhabit
the Philippines; food resources are
ample and famine is unknown.

Hon. A. G. Cleveland, who is at the

wife, reports greater activity in the
mining camps of Nevada than at any
period in many years. In Egan

Mining company has begun the
operation of the cyanide plant, and
through which fifty is of gold ore
are being put, everything indicates
that splendid results will be achiev-
ed, while at Cherry Creek the Glas-
