Misplaced Switch Derails an Excursion
Train Near Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 25.-An engine at
tached to a heavy excursion train on
the Chicago & Calumet Terminal sail-
road was derailed last night near Riv-
erdale. The passengers were thrown
from from their seats by the jar and one
man was probably fatally injured.
Seven others received slight injuries.
After delay of two hours the engine
was raised to the track and the train
proceeded.
1t is very evident that the accident
was caused by misplaced switch, be-
lieved to have been the work of tramps.
The switch was found broken in two
places. The baggage-car was telescoped
over the cab and coal tender. Murray,
one of the injured, was riding in this
car, and was caught in the debris. He
was dug out unconscious and may die.
The force of the shock was SO great
that the track was literally torn out of
the ground. There were 500 passengers
on board, and had the train not been
running at slow rate of speed, ter
rible loss of life would have resulted.

A REINDEER EXPRESS.
Government May Furnish Connectiop
Between Alaska Points.


Between Alaska Points.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Some inter-
esting statements relating to the gold
region in Alaska and the reindeer ex-
pertinent there are brought out in the
annual statement of United States Com
missioner of Education Harris, SUBJ
mitted today. Touching on the import
ance of extending the introduction of
reindeer into that territory, the report
says the reindeer stations ought to be
able to furnish 500 reindeer trained to
the harness at once for use of miners
on the Upper Yukon river.
1t was my purpose" the commits
sioner goes ON ito detail three of the
skilled herdsmen and 800 tarined rein
deer to the Yukon region the present
summer"
Ii this arrangement is carried out
as intended, an important experiment
will be in progress during the coming
year at the gold mines. The plan of
the bureau has been to arrange a rein
deer express, connecting towns in a line
from Behring straits to Kodiak island.
Superintendent of Reindeer Stations
Kjollmanni last September proved the
practicability of this by making a trial
trip on this route. Two of his party
were able to take the steamer at Kat
mai, sailing to Sitka in March. This
arrangement once completed, it will be
possible for business companies in San
Francisco and other cities to hold COM
munication with their whaling fleets
during the winter. north of the Arctic
circle.
There have been maintained in Alaska
20 day schools, under the supervision
of the interior department, with 90
teachers and an enrolment of l,267
pupils. A public school was opened at
Circle City in the Yukon mining dis
trict, but the departments agent, writ
ing from St. Michaels, says he is afraid
he will be forced to discontinue it, be-
cause of the exodus of the city's popu-
lation into the region nearer the re-
Gently discovered mines.
The influx of miners into the Yukon
has caused demand for reindeer for
freighting purposes. In the original
plan of the purchase and distribution
of reindeer, the purpose was to secure
new food supply for the furnishing
Eskimos of the Behring sea and the
Arctic ocean region, but it is now found
that reindeer are as essential to white
men as to Eskimos. The wonderful
Yukon placer mines are situated % to
100 miles from the great stream. Pro-
visions brought from the south and
landed ON the banks of the river are,
with great difficulty, transported to the
mines on the tributary streams. Last
winter mongrel dogs, for transportation
purposes, cost from 500 to 5000 each,
and freight charges from the river to
the mountain range from Is to 20 cents
per pound. The trained reindeer make
in a day two or three times the distance
covered by dog teams, and have the ad-
vantage that they can use the abundant
moss as food.

CaIifornia's Klondike.

Carrville, CAL, Aug. 23.-William
Truax and his partner, an actor named
Dillon. have struck what is said to be
one of the richest lodges that have been
found in this district. The men only
arrived here about noon on Monday,
and before shutdown Truax, who is a
miner recently from Cripple Greek, had
founi what will probably mean a for
tune for both. This latest find is sit
uated on Morrison creek just below the
Graves brothers. claim and above the
Davis placer mine. The two men were
up at daylight yesterday morning, and
by noon had stripped enough to show
them ledge two feet wide OF wonder
full richness. Dillon came from Sacra.
mento, where he was stopping.

The stickeen Route.

San Francisco, Aug. ga new
route is to be established to the placer
fields of the Klondike. The journey
will be made from this city to Wrangel,
where steamer will be taken up the
Stickeen river, a distance of 20 miles.
From that point to Lake Teslin the
trip will be made by stage. Lake Tes-
lin Is at the head of the Hootingula
river, and from there steamer will
ply on Lewis and Yukon rivers to Daw-
son City, distance of $50 miles. The
stage line will be owned and managed
by John Altman, the well-known stage
proprietor. He will place 10 coaches
and 100 horses on the road. The fare
for the staging is to be 81 mile for
passengers.

Benefits of the Expedition.

Seattle, Aug. 27.-A Victoria special
to the Post-Intelligencer says: The ex-
petition has determined two facts of
prime Importance to the scientific
world. 1t has fixed once for all the
altitude of Mount ST. Elias at Is, 100
feet. The figures are subject only to
such slight correction as may change
the total 80 or 40 feet either way.
The expedition has also answered de-
fnitely and in the negative the question
so long asked by scientists as to wheth-
er or not ST. Elias was not at one time
a great volcano. There is not the
slightest indication of volcanic action
anywhere. The mountain, like its
neighbors, appears to have been raised
in the ocean, tangible evidence of it's
grading in the deep being found in
many fossil shells, sandstone and beds
of pebbles.
A new glacier was discovered on the
eminence of the mountain between the
August mountains and Great Logan.
It takes its course apparently to the
sea, and was named after Prince CO.
lombo. This was the only geograph-
ical christening during the trip.
The Russell expedition landed at the
head of Yucat bay, quite distance
from the point st which Luigi made
his debarkation. The route was absO-
lutely unknown. Advancing up the
glaciers and moraines took 80 days, or
until July A, which day the prince de-
clared for the entire party general
holiday. They had then risen no more
than 5000 feet, in covering tramp OF
so miles, but SO difficult-and rough had
been the journey that all were quite
ready for the "a hours rest. The
Americans IN the party raised the
Stars and Stripes over the camp in the
great hills, and Prince Luigi and his
party cheered again and again in honor
of the flag.
At Pinnacle pass was found the first
evidence of Mr.. Russell's expedition in
1891, in the shape Of tent bottom
and q single fork Finally, the foot Of
the divide connecting Mount St. Elias
and Mount Newton was reached. with
q supply of provisions to last IL days.
At O'Clock on the morning OF July
81 they commenced the ascent OF the
great mountain. For IL hours the up
ward climb was made, and exactly five
minutes before 10 o'clock the summit
of ST. Elias was beneath the feet OF the
explorers. The hour upon the summit
was employed in planting the flagstaff,
from which the Italian flag was given
to the wind.

Gold in California.

Quincy, CAL, Aug. 25.-The re-

Cordoroy, a stagedriver, who also
brings the news that Charles Fish,
who has gravel claim at the junction
of Nelson creek and Feather river, took
$4,000 from his claim last week. Nell

stream in Plumas county and many
paving claims are located along it,
