THE MINTS OF BRITISH INDIA.
London Times Rflfcules the Idea of
Opening Them to Silver.

London, Aug 1.-THE Times has pub
lished twocolumn special article today
reviewing the effects of closing the In
dian mints in connection with the visit
of the American bimetallic commission.
1t says:
"'The closing saved the Indian govern
ment from losses incident to the heavy
fall of exchange and consequently from
disastrous increase in the burden o. its
gold obligations. 1t is undoubtedly true
that it also helped to keep down the gold
value of silver bullion. but may not the
question be raised whether the low
price of silver is necessarily disastrous to
India, which purchases it so largely?
Since 1893 India has been the only real
wholesale customer for silver. Other Gus
toners are of the retail order
"Ihe delicate adjustment of the rela
tive prices of the rupee and silver for
merly existing has been rudely shattered
by recent events Since 1896 the rupee
has risen and silver has fallen. The fact
is, the forces now acting upon the price
of silver have become too tremendous to
be dominated by such delicate influences
as preceded the defeat of Bryan's silver
party and Japan's adoption of the gold
standard. These events have proved
causes too potent to be withstood.
'One thing is certain, we would be
very foolish to do anything for silver.
Even should the United States and
France agree to adopt bimetallism and
England to reopen the Indian mints, it
would only bolster up silver for brief
space, to fall again to its proper market
price; so that Indian finances would be
in position as bad as before, if not
worse than before

Wilson, secretary OF agriculture, and c.
F. Saylor, government expert on beet
sugar culture, has left Denver to investi-

the Plateau-Grand irrigation project and
show them the tract of 10000 acres on
which it is proposed to erect a beet sugar
factory at cost of 100000. 1t is in
tended to colonize the land under the
desert act of the state Of Colorado The
factory will be built simultaneously with
the Plateau Grand canal, which will take
sufficient water from the Grand river to
irrigate 10000 acres in Mesa county, Col
and 100000 acres in Grand county, Utah
1t is claimed that the climate in the
Grand valley is better adapted to the
making of beet sugar than in any other
part of the United States.

ON CO. OPERATIVE PLAN
WELL EQUIPPED ALASKAN PARTY
FROM NEW ENGLAND.
Headed by Arthur A. SemOur, Son
Of the WeIl-knOvvn Mind
Reader of Boston.

Seattle, Wash, Aug l4.-One Of the
largest and best equipped of all the
parties that have started for the Klondike
this season has just arrived in this
city from New England. They are Or
ganized on military basis, the captain
being Arthur A. Seymour, the son of
the we'll known mind reader. Charles
H. Moseley, formerly Of the Boston
Herald, is second, and A. e. Rogers OF
Norwich, Conn, is treasurer. Each
member of the party originally CON
tributed $1,000, and each agrees to share
and share alike in all the expenditures
and profits of the expedition. Apart
from these individual contributions the
company has ample financial backing.
They are the first organized party to
leave Boston for the new gold fields,
and their departure from that city on
August was the occasion for a real
demonstration, thousands of people as
sembling at the railway station to see
them off. The corporate name Of the
expedition is the Haverhill Mining Com
panV, 1rOm the 1acJ Lnat seymour at
the time he organized it was at Haver-
hill, Mass, although his home is at
Utica, n. Y.
The members of the company have
done all their outtitting in this city.
Seymour organized the party, and is
chief. Mr.. Williams is "A years old,
and a California forty miner. He will
instruct his companions in mining and
the usages of mining camps.
Their outfit is one of the most elab
crate and costly. There is nothing ex
travagant about it, but every necessary
article is there, and everything is of
the best quality. The only thing they
brought from the east is some sheepskin
sleeping bags, which are of superior
workmanship and Of a unique and useful
design. Their passage was engaged by
telegraph some days ago on the steamer
Humboldt, which is due to sail from Sc
attic for st. Michael's Sunday morning,
and their tickets guarantee them arrival
at Dawson City before the river is frozen

SEARCH FOR TREASURE.
The Steamer Aurora Returns From
COcOs Island With n Band of
Disappointed XOyaEers.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 16.-The steamer
Aurora, which left here early in the
year with number of sealing captains
on board to search for treasure alleged
to be hidden on Cocos island, returned
this morning, the trip having been
complete failure. Mrs. Brennan, who
believed she could locate the treasure
from directions given by her husband,
who claimed to have found the treasure
some years ago, and only took part of
it, was deeply disappointed. G. Har-
ford came up from Cocos island on tie
Aurora. He had been on the island for
the Costa Rican government and claims
to have been left there for a year by
that government. He says he has To-
Gated the treasure, but this seems
doubtful, as the men who went on the
Aurora say that the island is covered
with the holes dug by treasure seekers.

IDAHO MEN RETURN FROM ALASKA.
Advise All ProspectOrs to Take
Their Own Pack Animals.

Boise, Idaho, Aug. l6.-H Beastman
and A. j. McNab, two of the leading
men of the state, returned last night
from trip to Alaska. They We're
aboard the Mexico when she was
wrecked. Mr.. McNab, who is an old
miner and has operated in British Co
lumbia, said respecting the klondil.e
rush: "It would be impossible to get
into the country this fall. When we
were at Dyea there were 500 people
waiting to make the trip, with $50 tons
of supplies. There We're 20 horses and
about 60 Indians to do the packing.
The horses could pack Is miles on the
Dyea pass route to Sheep Camp. Then
there was one and three quarter miles
impossible for horses, being too steep
for them to climb. The total distance
from Dyea to Lake Linderman is %
miles, and the price asked for packing
goods is 20 cents a pound
Mr.. McNab said it would certainly
require six months with the facilities
available to pack the goods now on the
ground over the pass. Winter will set
in about September Is, hence his eonclu-
sion that it is utterly impossible for
prospectors to go into the Klondike this
fall. Moreover, those who go in the spring
should take their own pack animals, max
ing themselves entirely Independent.
On the general question of the placer
mining resources, Mr.. McNab said ii
was his belief that they We're extensive.
1t was altogether probable, he said that
on the Polly, Stewart and other rivers
and their tributaries diggings similar to
those on the Klondike will be found. Mr..
McNab also said that in his belief, based
upon reliable information, the best route
into the country is via the Stilline river.
Boats can be run up the river l20 miles,
or parties can pack all the way from the

chances are against accomplishing the
feat this season. They advise all those
intending to go into the Kondike to wait
until spring and take the st. Michael's S

selling their outfits and preparing to
return home as soon as possible. The
Walla Walla party will stay, however;
and make every effort to cross the pass.
