in this city. He SAYS:
The word Kloadyke
means Deer River and is.
called Reindeer river on
the charts. 1t empties into
the Yukon fifty miles above
the Big river, The geog-
raphical position of the
junction is 70 degs. 10 min.
north latitude, 130 degs. so
min. west longitude. Bo-
nanza Creek dumps into
Klondyke about two miles
above Yukon. EldoradO is
a tributary Of the Bonanza.
There are numerous other
creeks and tributaries, the
main river being 300 miles
long. The gold so far as
has been taken from Bo.
nanza and Eldorado, both
we'll named, for the richness
of the places is truly mar
velous. Eldorado, thirty
m es long, is staked the
whole length and as far as
worked has paid.
AS each claim is 500 feet
along the creek bed, there
is half a million to the
claim. So uniform has the
output been that one miner
who has an interest in three
claims told me that if offer
ed his choice he would toss
up to decide. One of our
passengers who is taking
$40, 900 with him, has
worked 100 feet of his
ground and refured $780,
900 for the remainder, and
contidentially expects to
clean up S+0O, 900, and
more. He has in a bottle
S2l2 from one pan Of dirt.
His pay dirt, while beirg
washed averaged $3.50 an
hour to each man shoveling
in. Two others Of our
miners who worked their
own claims cleaned up &c.
from the days washing.
There is about fifteen feet
of dirt above bedrock, the
pay streak averaging from
four to six feet, which is
tunnelled out w hi G the
ground is frozen. OF course
the ground taken out is
thawed by building fires,
and when the thaw comes
and water rushcs in they
set the sluices and wash the
dirt.
Two of our fellows thou.
ght a small bird in the hand
worth a large one in the
bush, and sold their claims
for S45, 900, getting 81, 200
down, the remainder to be
paid in monthly installments
of $40, 900 each, The pur.
chasers had no more than
SIS, 900 paid. They were
twenty days thawing and
getting out dirt, Then
there was no water to
sluice with, but one fellow
made a rocker and in ten
days took out the $40, 900
for the first installment.

SUSTAINS FOSTER.
Former Decision in the Stock Yards
Suit Strongly indicated.
Judge Thayer Says the State Has Right
TO Regulate Charges of the Stock
Yards Company Notice of
Appeal Given.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 29.-The stock
holders of the Kansas City Stock Yards
company met another crushing defeat
in the United States circuit court yes
terday. In a lengthy opinion handed
down in the case filed to en-
join the enforcement of the new
Jaquins law, Judge Thayer decided
every point in favor of the state, His
opinion was even more sweeping than
the one handed down by Judge Foster
recently in the same case. Judge
Thayer held that the state had right
to regulate the charges of the stock
yards company, that the new law
would enable the stockholders to re-
ceive a reasonable return on the capt.
tai invested, and that neither the ma
ture of the business transacted by the
company nor the location of its yards
on each side of the state line made it
interstate commerce.
Judge Horton, representing the
stockholders, gave notice of an appeal
to the United States supreme court.
Judge Thayer apprehended that this
would be done, and in the opinion he
provided plan of protection to the
stock shippers of the west while the
case was pending. He required the
company to put up bond in the sum of
$500, 600 with the clerk of the federal
court to reimburse shippers for over
charges made during the time the case
is pending, and Judge Foster in addi-
ton, ordered the company to give
shippers or their agents nemoran-
dun of charges collected for yardage
and feed so that the overcharge could
be computed without trouble. If the
law is upheld, the shippers will bring
their memoranda into court and get
their rebates there instead of going to
the company for them The old rates
are to remain in force until the case
is finally determined by the supreme
court.
The decree was drawn up yesterday
afternoon and entered on the docket
1t is in accordance with the contents
of the opinion. The company is given
ten days in which to file the 5000, 900
bond. Judge Horton says that the
bond will be ready by that time. He
also says that the case will be taken
up Immediately and that it will be
heard in the supreme court within II
couple of years at least. The attorneys
for the state say that they will ask to
have the case advanced on the docket.
They claim that it is of such vital gen
eral importance that the United States
supreme court will no doubt grant an
early hearing
Judge Foster was very much pleased.
Judge Thayer had not only sustained
him on every point, but even went him
one better on one particular thing,
Judge Foster fixed S75, 900 as the aver
age amount of money necessary to
keep up repairs at the yards annually.
Judge Thayer says in his opinion that
$50, 900 is sufficient.

to the charge of numbering their three
year-old child, Belle Carr. Carr plead
ed guilty and his wife not guilty. Carr

a trial at once, but the state was not

was released under $1,000 bond, her
father, j, J. Brost, and A. j. Stephens

consideration" Yesterday the cheers
of the workers were suddenly changed
to signs, for, true to his words, Henry
George, the apostle of the rights of
man, died as he wished to die-in har-
ness fighting for the cause toward
the close of the greatest municipal po-
litical contest the world has ever seen.
The end was peaceful, and he
died without pain. This man
of mighty brain and undaunted
courage was physically frail,
and the strain of an exciting campaign,
requiring experimenting at points
many miles apart, night after night,
was more than nature could stand.
A Sketch of His Career.
Henry George was born on September 2, 1899.
He received common school education and
then went into counting ROOM He was also
% sailor, and afterward learned the printers
trade. In 1857 he reached California, where he
worked at the printers case until 1865, when he
became u reporter and afterward editor, work.
ing at different times on the San Francisco
Times and Post. He returned to New York in
1880 and went to England and Ireland the fol-
lowing year, where he was twice arrested as a
suspect, but afterward released, when his
identity became established. Mr.. George
was best known IN the world Mt large through
his writings upon economic questions, notably
his work entitled progress and Poverty"
published in 1879 His other works are Our
Land and Land Policy" 1871; Irish Land
Question" 1881; Social Problems" 1888;
Property in Land" o controversy with the
duke of Argyle, 1884, The Condition of La
bor an open letter to Pope Leo Kill, 1891,
and "a Perplexed Philosopher" Herbert
;Spencer), 1892
In 1885 Mr.. George was nominated by the
United Labor party for mayor Of New York.
polling 90 900 votes against 5000 for Abram
IS. Hewitt, the democratic nominee, and 60 900
for Theodore Roosevelt, now assistant Sec
rotary of the navy, republican After his
nomination for mayor by the Jetferso-
mian democrats q month ago, Mr. George
made an extremely active canvass,
speaking several times every evening and
working from early to late at his headquarters
He gave to the campaign its most sensational
incidents, its attacks on Richard Croker and
Senator Plat, whom he threatened to prose-
cute for various crimes such as leVying black
mail upon city contractors and aspirants to
office, should he be elected mayor His candi-
,dacy gave to the coming election its greatest
uncertainty, for, according to expert poll
ticians, it was practically impossible to esti-
mate how much of Bryans vote of last year
would go to George instead of Van WyclS

The Killing of Gen. Castillo VIII BE a
Backset to Autonomy.
New YORK; Oct. ga dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The outgoing authorities have struck heavy
blow at autonomy by permitting Ito use an I'M
prejudiced world the killing of Gen, Castillo,
Gen Castillo was not killed in open fight; he
was betrayed by a Cuban guide and was cap
tured by the Spaniards on last Friday and shot
on Monday morning 1t was more satisfactory
to shoot him than to treat him as prisoner Of
war. Castillo commanded Havana province
and was beloved as an able and brave gem
eral by every Cuban under arms His kill
ing will arouse desire for revenge that at
the present juncture will tend to prevent ac-
Ceptance of any autonomy by the rebels With
an escort Of seven men, Castillo was lying i'll
with fever in a secluded spot when the guide
betrayed him. The exhibition Of his body has
aroused indignation even among Gen Weyler's
officers Side by side with him in the morgue
was the body Of n man who had starved to
death. The two presented plain illustration
OF Gen. Weylers methods Of condusting this
war. A. manifesto will be circulated and signed
by President Capote and Gems. Gomez and
Garcia which calls upon all Cubans not to ac-
ceDt autonomy.

Deputy Armstrong is very angry, and
