SunbOnnets for Horses.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The straw manu-
facturers of Lueton have been doing a
big business in sunbonnets for horses,
owing to the instigation of the govern
ment, and the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. The hats
are shaped on the Bordeaux model, hav-
ing high crown and broad brim, like
the straw bathing hat used in the
United States, with holes for the horses
ears. The use of the bonnets has
greatly decreased the summer mortality
among horses in France.

VICTORIA, B. c., Aug. 16.-There
were in Victoria during the morning
close upon 1000 men of every class
and from every part of the world who
were just crazy to get started on the
long trip to the new Eldorado.
These men had tickets which will
carry them to Skagway bay on the big
collier Bristol, or on the steamer ISL
ander, both of which sailed later. The
Bristol had been fitted with hunks and
stalls for horses from the bottom of her
hold to the top of her cabin deck and
every bunk and stall was occupied,
close upon 800 men going on the Bristol
and just as many horses and mules.
The Islander had just as big crowd,
but much of the space on her was taken
up by contingent of mounted police,
their horses, dogs and outfits. They
realize that they have a winters trip
before them before they reach Dawson
City and are taking dogs and sleighs.

The undersigned committee invited

ager of the Minnesota Hedge and
Wire Fence Co., of Minneapolis, Mimi.
to visit SlaytOn and investigate one
of their fences completed this spring,
found it compact and beautiful and
fully up to representation.
We believe it will add materially to
the value of land enclosed by it. These
fences of honey locust we were in
formed by G. e. Dinehart, cashier
State bank of Slayton, were planted
siXsayears ago, received no attention
whatever, were not cultivated, and
with the exception of few places
where they failed to secure a stand
the fences will turn the smallest to
the largest stock.
We heartily recommend and believe
it to be the coming fence.

SILVER GETTING TOO CHEAP
Great Mine at Creede, Colo, Likely to
Close Down.

Great Mine at Creede, Colo, Likely to
Close Down.
DENVER, Aug. lot is probable that
the great silver mine at Creole, Colo,
will be closed down on account of the
low price of silver unless railroad and
smelling rates are reduced. Several
conferences have been held between the
mine owners and the smelter and rail-
load officials and it is said the latter
evinced a disposition to make every
concession possible in order to keep the
mines in operation. 1t is also under
stood that the miners at Creole are
willing to accept reduction of wages
from So per day of eight hours to $275
in wet mines and $3.50 in dry rather
than have the mines closed.

ficially Disclosed.
Demands 10 Per Cent of Small
Producers and Double
That of Larger.
ProspectorS to the Number of a
Thousand Leave Victoria
for the North.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. IL. The regula-
items formulated by the Dominion gov
ment covering the collection OF royalty
on gold mined in the Yukon are pub
lished in the Official Gazette just issued.
They are as follows:
"That upon all gold mined on the
claims referred to is the regulation for
the government of placer mining along
the Yukon river and it's tributaries, a
royalty of 10 per cent shall be levied
and collected by officers to be appointed
for the purpose, provided that the
amount mined and taken from single
claim does not exceed $500 per week,
and in case the amount mined and
taken from any single claim does ex-
coed $500 per week, there shall be levied
and collected a royalty OF 10 per cent
upon the
Amount Taken Out Up to $500,
and upon the excess or amount taken
from any single claim over $500 per
week, there shall be levied and collected
a royalty of 20 per cent, such royalty
to form part of the consolidated revenue
and to be accounted for by the officers
who collect the same in due course"
The regulations governing the dis
posal of placer mining claims along the
Yukon river and it's tributaries are
amended SO that entry can only be
granted for alternate claims known as
creek claims and bench claims, bar dig
gings and dry diggings, and that the
other alternate claims are reserved for
the crown, to be disposed of by public
auction or in such manner as may be
decided by the minister of the interior.
