A LETTER FROM DAWSON.
The Camp Well Supplied with Pro-
visions at the Present Time.

Tacoma, Aug. 13.-B. L. Laughlin
writes from Dawson, Alaska, under
date of June 10:
"Five-hundred-foot claims on two
creeks are selling at prices ranging from
$4,000 to $l50,00O each. There are
about $50 claims that are good on these
two creeks. An acquaintance bought a
claim in February for $45,000 on the
installment plan, and was to make the
last payment July l, but did not need
so much time, for he paid the last the
day we arrived. He has $50 feet of
ground left, and a surplus OF $15, 1000.
The pay streak is from 40 to so feet
wide, and the pay is in and on the bed
rock. These are drift diggings, and
have to be worked in the winter time.
The ground is from Is to 35 feet deep.
Times will be quiet here until
about October /, when there will be
work for 1900 or 5000 men. There is
small sawmill here, and lumber is
worth $3.50 per 1000, and scarce at
that. The camp was not struck until
August, and it is estimated that the
output is about 81. 500, 600 to date, and
will probably be $25, 900, 900 or $780,
100000 next year. The companies
think they can supply sufficient food for
the winter. There will be about /, 100
people come from the outside this year,
and expect as many thousand, or
more, next year. The weather is nice
at the present time.
"The Circle City camp is about de-
serted, and the claim owners are offer
ing $l2. so per day and board.
The camp is well supplied with pro-
visions at the present time. Flour is
worth $l2 a hundred, bacon 90 and 60
cents pound, beans l21la cents, coffee
rs cents, milk so cents per per can,
table fruit rs cents per can, shovels So
each. If any one should want to come
here this summer or fall l would advise
them to come by the mouth of the
Yukon. In early spring, they should
come by the land and water route"

Strikers TO Test the Legality OF Judge
| McIIlwayne's Order.
Pittsburg, Aug. To- The striking
miners at Cannonsburg have determined
to force the injunction issue by contin-
uing their daily marches and meet
ings in the neighborhood of the Nc
Govern and Cannonsburg mines in
spite of the order of Judge McIllwayne,
forbidding marches on the roads lead
ing to the mines. The purpose is to
have the men arrested in order to test
the legality OF the injunction.
Patrick Dolan stated it had been de.
termined to keep up the marches, and
as fast as one group was arrested an
other one will take its place until there
will he so many of them in Jail that
opinion will be aroused on the question
of urging new form of injunction.
In these movements the support OF
all the leading trades unions of the
country are said to have been pledged
at secret meeting in Columbus during
the last 10 days, presided over by
Samuel Gompers.
Information has been received by
the Pittsburg operators that the miners
of the Bell, Lewis & Yates Company
have struck in Reynoldsville. and the
rest of the mines of the company are
idle. The company is one of the heav-
lest tonnage producers in the northern
field. About 5000 men are employed.
The usual march of miners was made
at Turtle Greek at O'Clock this morn
ing, but more men went into the pit to-
day than yesterday, Firms from all
sections are coming to the rescue of the
strikers. A certain cereal company at
Akron, o., sent dispatch offering to
donate two tons of corn meal. The
offer was accepted The Fishermen's
Protective Association, of Astoria, Or,

Harvesting is we'll under way and
some wheat has already been hauled to
market. The crop is turning ont even
better than was expected, and the esti-
mate OF 5000, 600 bushels will, it is
claimed, be too low for Sherman county.
County Commissioner Kissell, of
Gray's river, has discovered gold on

better finds will be made.
One of the largest hay corps in the
history of Lincoln county has just been
harvested. The quantity is large and
the quality is first-class. The excel
lent haying weather that has prevailed
has enabled the farmers and ranchers
to care for the crop in good shape.
An expert in coal mining, who has
much to do with coal in the East, has
given the Evans creek, Klamath coun-
ty, coal thorough test, and pronounced
it the pure anthracite. The mine now
shows nine solid feet OF coal, and the
slate streaks which were found when
the vein was first opened are pinching
out. 1t is said that the coal can be
put into the Valley towns for So per
ton.
A new scheme for getting rid of hop
lice is credited to Southern Oregon
man. He goes out during the heat of
the day, takes a pole with hook on
the end of it, hooks it over the wires on
which the hops are supported, and
shakes the vines with all his might.
He can shake off most of the lice in
this manner, and believes it is Just as
effective as spraying, and much faster.
AS soon as the lice strike the dust on
the ground they die.
One of the measures OF interest to
Oregon which died in the late session
of congress before it could get any con-
sideration was joint resolution intro
duced by Senaotr Mcbride, directing
the secretary of war to cause an ex-
animation to be made of the harbor of
Astoria and to submit plan for its
improvement by inceasing its depth,
width and extent, together with esti-
mates of the cost OF such provements.
1t is proposed to appropriate So, 900 for
the purpose. This proposition will
probably have to go into the next river
