THE YoUKoN GOLD FIELDS.

That the Youkon gold fields are
marvelously rich there is scarcely room
to doubt: the gold brought down from
there proves this. There is almost sure
TO be a great stampede to them, though
{ the route is so long and so difficult
that a stampede VIII have its limits.
And when the fields are reached they
! present a most iniiospitable appear
/ ance to the prospector. There are Arc
tic winters of nearly nine months and
Arctic summers of about three months.
The very climatic conditions mean
great suffering to all who go to the
new gold fields and are not well
equipped in all respects. Roughing it
there will be entirely different from
roughing it in any other mining camp
in the world. Compared with a trip
to the gold fields of the Youkon, trip
TO South Africa is a holiday affair
But this Will not deter men from I'M
dert1king il, for men will go any
where and through anything for gold.
The one thing that they all worship.
Physical conditions will prevent that
tremendous influx of miners there
would be were these new gold fields
easily accessible. There is no tramping
overland to them, but there must first
be long sea voyage before the jour
ney overland is begun.
The Youkon gold fever is already
attacking some in our own city, and
they are making inquiries how to get
there, the cost and the like. 1t must |
be self-evident to all that it is no coun- I
try for the miner who has nothing but |
a pick and pack. He must have a
considerable capital to start with.
Then it is well to remember that Just
now all anybody sees is the gold that
has been got; they do not realize the
suffering and privation that preceded
the getting of the gold, nor do they
think of the very many who have
made nothing in the new gold fields
All these things should be carefully
thought over and reflected upon before
anyone starts for the Youkon.

Sam Francisco wheat.

San Francisco, July 2O.-There was
considerable excitement and an un-
usual amount of business at the local
produce exchange today. the continued
foreign demand for wheat sending the
price of that staple booming. To begin
with Liverpool options showed a
marked advance; and Chicago reports
only served to increase the excitement.
December wheat, which has risen from
1.21 on July 1. opened at 135, rose to
1876 and closed at 1852. An hour later
it shot up TO 1.SS. closing at 1875. May
opened at LBS and closed at la, while
December steadily rose to 1.39, and
closed strong at 1884. Since very little

PROSPECTS OF A GAS TRUST
FIGHT.
When It Comes, if Come it Does, it
Will Be Bitter and Fought to a
Finish.

New York. July 20.-The Herald to-
morrow morning will say: Notwith-
! standing vigorous prospects to the con-
| trary, it is almost certain that New
York, within the next four months,
Will be the scene of a bitter fight be-
tween two great gas trusts.
When the directors of the Equitable
company announced last Monday that
they would not surrender their holdings
on the terms proposed by the East
River company, the casual observer
believed that it was a heavy blow at
the proposition to organize gas trust
No. 2. bu, the blow was more apparent
than real. E. c. Benedict and his
friends control the Equitable stock.
He has been anxious for some time TO
form a combination in this city similar
to the one that has given practical con-
troll of the lighting of Chicago. He was
very active in the preliminaries of the
attempts at consolidation by the Con-
solidated company few months ago.
Though Mr.. Benedict denies il, his
friends insist that he has been quietly
at work, making his plans by means
of which the East River company will
be absorbed into the Equitable, and
then, they say, with this coalition. it
is his purpose to go directly into the |
territory occupied by the Consolidated I
and Standard Gas companies, and fight |
the corporations on their own ground. |
Meanwhile, the East River company |

piciously. The ceremonies attending
the unwilling Of the Pioneer monument
passed off without an incident to mar

years ago, among them the venerable
leader of the Mormon church. Around
him were old men and old women who
recalled the past, exchanging remin-
iscences Of the days of their youth. Of
the days that are gone yet which are
so dear. The eyes of some were filed
with tears while the hearts of others
were filled with thoughts that lie too
deep for tears. To behold those men

not seen each other for quarter of a
century or. more, recalling the mem
