Reports From the Michipicoten
Fields More Than Confirm
Earlier Reports.
Quartz Containing Free Gold in
Chunks as Large as Grains
Of Wheat.
Party Of Fourteen 500 Business
Men Return and Make q
Report.

DETROIT, Sept. IA special dispatch
has been received by the Evening News
from Wawa City, the newly laid out
town in the Michipicoten gold country
on Lake Wawa, Ont. The embryo
town is located in the narrow pass
which leads to Lake Wawa from the
landing place on the shore of Lake Su-
perior, which is but six miles from the
gold discoveries.
The News staff correspondent writes:
AS to the gold discoveries developing
to anything like the indications report.
ed, it can be said that quartz has been
found that assays over $500 ton. 1t is
found, not in one section, but in differ
ent places extending over several thou
sands acres. Quartz has been found
here containing free gold in chunks as
big as kernels Of wheat-gold in its
pure form, which does not have to be
subjected to a chemical process to free
it from the rock. Prospectors every day
are finding specimens that assay $50 a
ton. Probably 100 prospectors are now
working in the hills. The country
where the discoveries were made has
never been opened for settlement. The
only inhabitants about are Indians and
Hudson Bay traders, and they are few.

Recent Discoveries Near the 500 Said to
BE Fully rs Rich as Reported.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, Sept. -
The party of gold seekers ON the yacht
Mary Bell has returned from Michi-
picoten after having been in the gold
fields but three d:ys. They say the
newly discovered Eldorado is fully as
rich as has been reported. There were
II in the party and all responsible busi-
ness men of this city. Each of them
secured claims upon which the gold
quartz promises big returns. In all the
party will make application for 1000
acres, which were prospected and
staked out while they were there. Many
samples of quartz in which free gold as
large as pin head can be seen were
brought by them. The specimens were
secured from different places on their
claims which are scattered. They are
jubilant over their find and say that
the auriferous deposit is
Evidently an Immense One.
Veins Of beautiful white quartz carry.
ing free gold exist almost everywhere
in the Lake Wawa region. The return.
ing prospectors say that where the
veins are laid bare the gold particles
can be seen everywhere in the quartz.
When the party left Saturday at least
200 prospectors had arrived and they
passed several parties going in. The
shores Of Lake Wawa were dotted with
tents and within the three days they
were there lively mining camp had
sprung into existence. The distance
from the mouth of the Michipicoten
river to Lake Wawa is not to exceed
seven miles and the party experienced
no difficulty in getting in and out. The
reports which the Mary Bell party
brought has set the two Soos wild with
excitement and an exodus to 'Klondike,
Jr.," will begin at once.

The French wheat crop is estimated

ers Of the Paris press. Correspondents
Of English business firms state that the
crop will amount to 33,OOO,OO to 36, ,OOU-

The Austria Hungary crop is stated
to be II, 100000 quarters. If this is true
it adds greatly to the gravity of the sit.

The American crop is reckoned by

or II, ,OOO, 900 quarters improvement to
offset decline of 10000 in Russia
and 5000, 900 to lO,6oo,Ooo quarters in

be actually as large as this, the store Of

PITTsBURG, Sept. Z. .-Expectations are
high in coal mining circles over the
probable resumption of work in the
mines throughout the country. In an.
ticipation of a settlement at Columbus
Wednesday another plan has been sug-
gested by a representative of one of the
largest operators which will be agitated
Immediately after the men return to
work. 1t will be formulated and sub.
mitted to the joint convention of oper-
ators and miners which it is proposed
to hold next December. In order to
come to an understanding on all ques-
tlOns at issue separate wage scales are
to be formulated for each mine. The
scale is to provide for the rate to be
paid for the entire year and any special
concessions that are to be made are to
be agreed upon by the miners and the
operators and so
Specified in the Scale.
The scale is to be an adjunct to the
uniformity agreement which is ex-
pected to be in force. The proposition
will be made by the operators in the
hope of putting all the safeguards pos.
sible against probable strike. 1t is
we'll known that there are no two mines
in the entire district where the condi-
tions are exactly alike. The uniformity
agreement covers the general points,
but even with it in existence some op-
orators would be subjected to difficult
ties, while others would have special
advantages. The scale is to cover all
these points, the primary object being
10 avert differences, create a more
friendly feeling between the employers
and employees and restore perfect har.

who was passenger on the steamship

above effect. Chadbourne says that
Collector Ives and force of deputy

to raid the town of Skaguay and clean

have been utterly unable to cope with
