RIVALS MONTE CHRISTIE.
Gold Placers Of Fabulous Rich
ness Found In Alaska.
VIRGIN Gold Waiting to BE Scoop
ed with Little TrOuble-Miners
Make Fortunes In q
Few Days.

A story rfvaling in intensity OF In
terest that told of the fabulous wealth
of Monte Cristo was related by the pas
sengers Of the little steamer Excelsior.
which has Just arrived at San Fran
cisco from st. Michael's, Alaska Mil
lions upon millions Of virgin gold, &C.
cording to the story, await the for
tunate miner who has the hardihood
and courage to penetrate into the un-
known depths Of the Yukon district
There was tangible evidence on the
little steamer Of the truth Of the story
told by the travellers, for ii the cabin
were scores Of sacks filled to the very
mouth with dust" taken from the
placers of the far frozen north. The
amount brought in is variously esti.
mated at from $4,000 to $75O,O0O.
There came in on the Excelsior some
40 people, among them some women,
from what is now known as the Clon-
dyke district, though only Is Of these
had been actually engaged in mining.
There were among them men who had
been for more than ten years facing
the dangers and hardships of the frozen
north, in the hope Of making rich
find, but who signally failed. But now
they come back with fortunes slowed
in their gripsacks and untold millions
to be picked up in the country Of which
80 little Is known.
The new Eldorado lies just across the
Alaskan boundary, in British territory.
It Is of recent discovery, but already
there are at least 5000 people on the
ground and more are tlocking in that
direction. The discovery Of the Clon-
dyke regions presents story that is
uniquely interesting. Around Forty
Mile, on the Yukon, is tribe of Indians
known as the Slickers, and with them
Is q man who years ago was known as
George Cormack, but who Is now called
"SHck George" In September last, at
the head of party Of Indians, he left
his hut near Forty Mile camp and start
ed In a southerly direction, saying he
intended to find new gold field before
his return. He came back two weeks
later and startled the miners with the
announcement that 20 miles away there
was gold to be found in plenty. The
streams abounded with the yellow
metal, and all that was needed was for
somebody to pick it up. Many persons
focked to the place, and In time the
word reached Forty Mile camp that un-
told riches could be found along the
bottom of Bonanza creek and it's trib-
utaries. Men who had failed at the
former camp Immediately packed up
their belongings and set out for the
new fields. It was hard and trying
journey, but that was nothing with
the promise of millions at the end Of
the route. -a

PAVEMENT suLaEs FROM HEAT

PAVEMENT O~@<1@S t1A>Sn ISA<N -
Section Of Main Street In Niagara
Fails Rnined by the Sun.
The extremely hot weather of the last
few days has had a singular effect on
a section Of brick pavement in Main
street, Niagara Falls, N. Y. The bricks
have risen in mound form to the height
Of three feet. utterly running the street
for driving, in spaces several yards
long.
City Engineer Read and his corps
have been making an Investigation into
this particular state Of affairs, and his
explanation is that the heat affected
only this one section of pavement,
which was laid by a separate firm Of
contractors and was due to the lack Of
provision for expansion Of the brick.
The brick was laid in cold weather, and
the bricks were fitted In with cement,
which hardened with an intensity equal
to that Of the bricks themselves, max
ing practically one solid mass Of the
entire sheet Of pavement. When the
intense heat came on this pavement
the bricks expanded, and, as the ce-
ment filing was non-elastic, there
could be only one result. The whole
sheet had to bulge up.

LOST GOLD MINE FOUND.

Trials and Suffering of Two Pro-
spectors Crowned with Success.
John F. James and Henry Blake have
returned to Phoenix, Ariz., from the
desert region near the Mexican border,
bringing story of extreme suffering
and Of success in the discovery of the
famous California mine, one of the
most famous of the lost mines Of the
southwest. The line lies 80 miles south
Of Sentinel station on the Southern
Pacific In region that appears abso-
lutely waterless. For ten days the men
and their burros were compelled to- live
by drinking the bitter Juice Of the cac+
tus. The me are terribly broken
through their suffering on the blazing
desert. They could stay at the mine
only a short time, but brought back
samples OF gold-specked ore taken from
the bottom Of the shaft, where yet were
the tools left by the miners Of 80 years
ago. They will outfit and return a
soon az they regain strength.

law on their statue books which
said no person was eligible to vote
who could not read the constitu-
ton of the state in English. 1t was
virtually dead letter for a num-
Der of years, as different persons
interpreted it differently, but the
late Legislature placed pacific
construction on it and now every
person must be put to the test.
The amendment was carried
twenty to one. AS Connecticut
has a large foreign vote, it will
make a big difference in future
election returns. Asst now stands
the trodden Nutmeg state is
bound to have an educational
