"A Pearl Divers Perils.

Charles G.. D. Roberts, in his book
"Around the Camp Fire." tells good
story of q pearl divers perils. The
diver, Al Johnson, suddenly found his
foot caught in the grip of monster
clam. His steel handspike had fal.
len where he could not reach it, and
he resolved to give the signal to be
pulled up.
Just as I had come to. this re-
solye," he continues, "a black shadow
passed over my head, and Hooked up
quickly. It was big turtle. Ididn't
like this, I can tell you, but I kept
perfectly still, hoping the newcomer
would not notice me.
He padded along very slowly, with
his queer little head stuck far out, and
presently he noticed my hair stub. It
seemed to strike him as decidedly
queer. My blood fairly turned to
ice in my veins as I saw him paddle
up and take hold Of it in gingerly
fashion with his beak. Luckily, he didn' t
think it would be good to eat, but
knew that if he should bite it I would
be a dead man in about minute.
drowned inside my helmet like rat
in trap.
In my desperation I stopped down
and tore with both hands at the shells
and weeds for something I might
hurl at the turtle, thinking thus per-
haps to detract his attention from my
air tube. But what do you suppose
happened? Why, I succeededin pull
ing up great lump Of shells and
stones all bedded together. The mass
was fully Two feet long.
''Just at this juncture the turtle
decided to take a hand. I had given
the signal to be hauled up, and now I
could feel Larry tugging energetically
at the rope. The turtle left off fooling
with the tube, padding down to see
what was making such a commotion
in the water, and tackled me at once.
Gas it happened, however, he took
hold Of the big copper nut on the top
Of my headpiece, and that was too
tough morsel even for his beak, so
that all he could do was to shake me
bit. With him at my head and the
clam on my leg and Larry jerking off
my waistband, you may imagine I
could hardly call my soul my own.
However, I began jabbing with my
handspike into the unprotected parts
Of the turtles body, feeling around
for some vital spot. In moment the
water was red with blood All I could
do was TO keep on jabbing as close to
the neck as I could, and the turtle
kept chewing at the copper joint.
II believe it was the clam that
helped me most effectually in that
struggle. You see, that grip on my
leg kept me as steady as rock. If it
hadn't been for that, the turtle would
have had me end over end in no time.
AS it was, after few moments Of this
desperate stabbing [ managed to kill
my assailant, but even in death that
iron beak Of his maintained its hold on
the copper nut Of my helmet. Larry
had to slash off the heavy creatures
head with q hatchet.''

Shot the Grand Canyon of Alaska.

John ,Dodson, Pendleton lore. J
young man, now deputy collector Of
internal revenue at Circle City, Alaska,
mas written interestingly about how
GRAND canyon was shot on the out
trip. Mr.. Dodson says: "The can
yon is five-eighths Of mile long, and
from fifty to 100 feet wide. It is SO
narrow the water rushes through at
such tremendous speed that it forms
crest IN the center six feet high. The
walls Of the canyon are 100 feet high,
and it looks as though each rock had
been cast and placed there by humaa
hands.
Few people run this canyon owing
TO the danger Of losing their boats and
llves, for ii you once hit the side of
the canyon it's all off with you Most
every one portage their goods and
boats here, but our boat was too big
for two OF us to handle, so there was
nothing. left for us to do but risk it.
We took our sail and nailed it over the
bow of the boat, packed all our goods
tight, and were then ready for the run.
we pushed off from the shore and the
current soon carried us to the mouth
Oh the canyon, where the boat hesita-
tea for second, as though afraid to
enter. then went forward like shot.
Ihe sensation while going through
IS lndescrihable; first we were ND on
top OF wave, then down, it requiring
all our strength to keep the boat
straight Once she came near hitting
the wall, but by hard work I got it
back on the crest again. About half
way through is large space, where
we had chance to breathe, then for
ward we shot again to the last half Of
the canyon, coming out of the other
end safe and sound, having made the
trip, tve-eighths of mile, in two and
half minutes. We pulled over to the
bank and then started over the rapids.
We pulled over to the left bank, ac-
cording to instructions, but soon saw
our mistake, as we hadn't gone hun
dred yards when we ran into rock.
We thought sure we were done for, as
our boat pretty nearly turned over and
cracked all over from the force of hit
ting the rock Both oars went over
board. By jumping out we managed
to get the boat off on the rock, and
then we led it down the rapids, q dis
tance of two Mills, and no easy task
it was, for the river was swift and full
Of boulders. We finally arrived at the
foot Of the rapids, where we were glad
enough to camp.-Spokane (Wash.)

London. July 23-Sir Donald Alex

for several days past by inquirers who
desire to go to the Yukon mining dis
tricts. Most of the applicants for in
formation are young men without
money who are employed on farms and

this class are urged to stay at home,
but hardy men with a capital OF &lO0
or more are encouraged to leave for the

Several solid London capitalists are
interesting themselves In the mining
territory and are making Investigations
with view of organizing mining COM
panies. Experts have been dispatched

Sir Donald Smith has issued pam
phlet containing much information
concerning the new goldnelds.
Regarding the suggested exclusion of
Americans from the Yukon region, Off
cials here say there Is nothing in the
treaties between Great Britain and the
United States TO prevent such action
on the part of the British government,
but that as a matter of policy, II Is un-
likely that the step will be taken.
Various steamship companies report
that few persons have left England foI
the new goldhelds thus far. This Is
probably due to monetary considera-
tions.

Tho Boundarv OuestIon.

Ottawa, July 23.-The attention of the
government has been called to the
claims advanced in the United States
press that the Yukon goldhelds are in
American territory. The ministers are
reticent It is learned. however, that
the government regards the convention
under which the boundary commission
was appointed as being OF the nature OF
a treaty and that any act in contra
vention of that convention would be re-
garded as the equivalent TO the de-
nunciation Of a treaty. The govern
ment regards the delineation Of bound
airy on the basis of the Mount St. Elias
line as a scientific proposition, but ad-
mits that the ownership of some Of the
islands on the coast may be subject for
argument.
This ownership depends upon the
question whether the coast line Is to
follow all indentations of the coast, or
whether-the distance from headland
to headland is six miles-the coast line
is to be taken as the line drawn from
headland to headland.
As regards future proceedings, the
statement is made that for p years
Canada has been anxious TO have the
boundary line clearly and finally set
tied. and any feasible and amicable
: proposition to effect this VIII be seri-
ously considered.

Gold Oh American Soil.

San Francisco. July 2S-The steam
ship Excelsior leaves for Alaska on July
2S. When she returns, she viii bring
between S5,OO0O0O and S60OO.O00 in gold
dust. This amount has been consigned
to the Wells Fargo Express company,
as was learned yesterday through adj
vices received from St. Michaels.
This sum represents the clean up Of
the miners who remain on the Yukon
instead Of returning home. None of it
has been counted in with the fortunes
recently brought to this country by
successful miners. The Excelsior is
expected to return here about Sept. g.,
and the present excitement Is mild
compared with the craze which will
follow the arrival of all this gold.
BY the steamship Umatilla, which
has arrived here from Puget sound
ports came about 100000 worth of
Alaska gold. Most Of this was from
Seattle and was consigned to the Wells
Fargo company.

These two discoveries were made or
American and Minook creeks. 1t is be-

ceived from these points much greater
developments have been made. Infor-
nation may yet be received from there
which will cause great portion of the

New York, July 23.-In the circuit
court of appeals for this circuit a de-
cision has been handed down in the
case of the Thomson Houston Elec-
trical company versus Hoosick Railway
company. In this decision, which was
written by Judge Wallace, all of the
judges concurring. the court held that
the Van Depoele trolley patent is in
valid by reason Of the same invention
having been described and disclosed in
an earlier patent to Van Depoele
The decision therefore invalidates the
patent because it was claimed TO cover
broadly the idea of the undercurrent
trolley on an overhead wire.
The courts finding affects all the
trolley railways Of the country, as the
patent may be now used by any one
without paying royalty.
