PERCY NASH'S EXPERIENCE
From Lake Linderman He Writes
About Monopoly With
Dog Teams

PORTLAND, Or, July 25.-Charles Nc.
Donell, employed in the First National
Bank, has received an interesting letter
from Percival Nash, who left here some
weeks ago for the Yukon gold fields. The
letter was written from Lake Linderman
June 2, and was delayed in it's delivery.
I'VE nave sold some of our goods on the
road" writes he, tobacco for 50 a pound
and Piper Heidsieck Cor 81 so; cigars cost
ing $25 per thousand for $S5. Eggs sell
here at 81 so q dozen; beef. when you can
get it, at so cents pound. Yukon prices
range here.
Murray Eads Gormerly with Smell,
heitshu &, Woodward) has got here al
last. We have been hearing from him all
along the trail. He has about four days
more packing to do. Yesterday be mar
rowly escaped being killed. He fell do xn
a steep hill with 100 pound pack on his
back, striking on his head. He was
knocked cold, and Eskridge found him
lying on the trail.
I'VE hired two dog teams about q
month ago on shares and freighted ou1
own stuff down from the summit, and my
brother Des made quite a pile besides.
The season has been SO abnormally early
that the trail over the little lakes this side
OF the summit has been on the verge o1
going for two weeks past. 1t is I'm passable
for horses, and as there are only two dog
teams working besides our own, we had
almost monopoly, frei light charges being
cents pound from the foot of the sum-
NIT on this side to the head of Linderman
Canyon, two and half miles from here.
"1n one trip with single dog team Des
made 1858. All the work is done at night.
as the snow gets SO rotten and soft in the
day time that it is mpossibIe to haul the
loads even with dogs.
"We may have some trouble with the
British customs authorities, but feel
pretty confident OF getting by them.
There have been rivers of contrabano
whisky smuggled in this year. 1t was
mostly at Fort Simpson and was snug
gled past the American customs officers.
Every drop OF it went by clear, bat it did
not get past us.
ut is amusing to watch Albert Stephens
formerly with the Commercial National
Bank and a well-known football player)
when he eats. He takes his plate, cup,
knife and fork and cleans them ali of
with special rag. He seems to doubt
my ability as dishwasher."

NEW LIFE IN KENIUCK
Wonderful Change Comes Orer the Spirit
of the Farmer.

Wonderful Change Comes Orey the Spfri
of the Farmer.
LOUISVILLE, KY. July 25-A won
derful change has come over the spirits oil
Kentucky farmers within the last three
months, A remarkable rise in the price
of leaf tobacco was the first significant
change in the long era of depression.
This began to develop in April and by the
time the rise had eliminated, about the
middle of June, prices had advanced on
every grade from 100 to 300 per cent. For
the past two years tobacco has sold below
the cost of production and its deprecia-
tion was mainly responsible for the silver
sentiment here last fall.
The wheat crop has been extraordi-
narily large and the finest quality ever
known. The State Agricultural Com
missioner estimates that the yield will be
double that of last year and the surplus
three times a great.
Potatoes are being sold at 81 so barrel,
against 40 20 60 cents last year, and other
garden staples are as high, while the crops
have been 50 large that the shipments
from Louisville are rs per cent greater
than last year.
1t is now the season for selling fat cattle,
and as they bring high prices hard times
are leaving Kentucky. Dealers in agri-
cultural implements say their trade is
opening magnifcently. Mr. Lewis, head
of one of the largest houses here. says he
has sold five times as many wagons in the
las. six weeks as he did during the same
period last year.
Louisville is the chief center for jeans
cloth manufacturing. at this time last
year all the factories were clased. They
are now all running, some on extra time,
while prices have been advancing.

Mil Ter is engaged in frelghtlng 100000 feet of lumber, from Hudson's mill on Ash creek to this property, and says that the camp is quite active. Superintendent Thurston is employing about forty men in the mlne and has force employed erecting buildings of various kinds, which are necessary to the success of a mining camp. He stated that everything is be- Ing done with view of the permanency Of the camp. A wagon road has been built from Goddard's up to the mill site and the freight is coming via Phenix, ninety eight head of stock being engaged Tn this work. MT. Miller says that all of his freighting would have been done from Prescott If the road between here and that place had been put in condition for freightlng.

The mineral found carried high per cent of iron sulphurets, but little free gold. When asked as to the copper possibilities of that region the men said there was any amount of copper in the interior, but it would be expensive to get it out. They describe the river as being very rapid and standing on end.

Henry George had a novel ex- perience in New York the other evening. At Cooper Union a great mass meeting was called and MT. George was rendered a few nomi- nations for mayor of the great city. The united democracy came first with the nomination of that organ ization. Then came the democratic alliance with their nomination. The peoples party, not to be out d ne by the others. brought for ward their nomination and laid 1t at his feet. The single taxers then came on the boards bearing a nom- ination boquet and crowned MT. George with it. He addressed them as fellow democrats and said he accepted all in the name of the real democrats. Henry George is un- doubtedly a bright man and al- though he has many theories not in accord with the views of Wall street sharks he would give the City of New York an honest ad- ministration.

Copper in AIasBa.

William Boswell has been for 10 years
 ID the vicinity of Copper river, and prob ably knows as much about that district as any man living, says the Alaska Min CT, published at Juneau. He had very interesting story to tell of that rugged country. In speaking of the Copper river he says that the delta at the mouth of it is 35 miles wide.
 The tide ebbs and flows tor 25 miles up the river. Then it becomes necessary to make three short portages, together about one mile, after that the river is navigable for small boats for 70 miles, although the water is rapids and rocks abound. At this point on the river is a canyon five miles long; there is port age around it, which can be covered in two and half miles. This brings one to the junction of the North and South forks of the Copper river, which IS named Tsrral.
 Back on the divide which separates the two branches of the Copper river is an active volcano. This is supposed to be the source of the copper which is found so plentiful in this district
 Boswell says he has talked great deal with the Indians on this subject and from his own observations he is con- vlnced that the volcano has some con nection with the copper of the district, and explains himself by saying that the lava is mixed with copper. Speaking to an Indian on this subject once, the In dian in response to question as to where he procured the copper win which his bullets were made, said that he kicked the gravel over and there was the copper. Up the streams where the ac- ton of the water has worn away the lava, native copper can be picked up at any time, says Boswell To put it in his own words he says that copper is blown from the volcano The pieces he found were welded to the lava as if they had once passed through great heat.
 Between Valdes bay and Fidalgo bay near the mouth of the Copper river is what is known as the Gltdbough prop. CT y. This is described as large blow out and is covered at high tide; It con tains native copper.

Tested for Color.

The Southern Pacific Company has completed an examination of it's train men, dlspatchers, train agents and sec ton men west of Ell Paso and Ogden for color blindness. There were about five thousand two hundred. Out of this num- Der the sight ot 193 was found to be de. fective as to colors.
 The men found to be affected with color blindness have been removed from their old positions and given places in nu way connected with the handling of trains. One man out of the 193 cases of color blindness was totally blind as to color. He could not distinguish black from white Such cases are extremely rare
 Hereafter all railroad employees con nected with the running of trains must pass physical examination similar to that of an application for life insurance.
