However, il is too early to speculate
as to what may happen in Alaska. If
difficulties arise we viii be ready 10
face them, but expect no trouble.
ct is a place where big fortunes are
being rapidly made
''Oh, / don't know about that re-
piled the Secretary. "a great many OF
the stories that come from that place
are undoubtedly exaggerated. l guess
some Of them are grossly exaggerated.
1t is always so whenever gold is found.
The tales are built on hopes and
imagination as much as on facts.
.sThe statement is printed this morn
ing that the making of Dyea a point of
entry is likely to injure US financially.
Whether or not it is a port of entry is
of no special consequence. The matter
cuts a small figure either way"
Our relations with England seem to
have been restored to a friendly basis?
"Oh, yes" said Mr. Sherman, with a
laugh. That cloud, if indeed there ever
was a cloud, has been blown complete
ly away
Then he laughed again. Folding his
hands in his lap. the Secretary said,
with a slight trace Of humor in his
voice: The seals, considering their To-
cation and the manner of their life,
have sometimes made things pretty
warm for various nations. England
never had any good reason to quarrel
with US about them, because the more
seals we caught the better for
her. You know We can't dress
the skins in this country. We
don't know how to do it, and so when
we capture a sealskin we have to send
it to England to be dressed. and then it
comes back to US. its original owner,
as an imported article.
England is a great country, but it
is not always safe to assume that she
is ready to follow up every quarrel with
blows She quarrels oftener than she
fights. 1t would be exceedingly diff
cult for her to fight US all alone about
our seal catching. Russia and Japan
are in a similar position, and amy quar-
rel between the United States and Eng
land on this score would in all prob
ability involve those other two coun-
tries. 1t is my opinion that England
would hesitate a long time before get
ting into such a scrape.
..Japan as a nation is not to be de-
spised. Her recent war with China
showed the world that she stands well
to the front as a powerful country. Her
people number about 40,000,G00. She is
not beneath the contempt of any ma
ton. and the time is come when she
must be considered
But I do not believe that we will
ever have any serious difficulty with
E,noIas1d Ol1r- refusal TO be intimidat-
ed has had salutary effect.
"It is not our custom to retract or
retract. because we are cautious as to
movements and the statements we
make This caution has generally
placed US in a formidable position when
international complications arise"

PLACER COUNTY MINES.
Some Of the Important Ones About
Iowa Hill.
(Record- Union Correspondence)

(Record- Union Correspondence
Some time since, in this correspond
ence, I wrote that before 1 was through
L would try and develop the fact that
Placer County has some of the richest
mines in California.
1 believe 1 have afforded the proofs
in the many descriptions of mines
have given, but | will add two more
to the list.
THE MORNING STAR.
The Directors of the Morning Star
mine two or three days ago declared
ceding month That is evidence of the
richness of the property.
The Morning Star is located one and
a half miles from Iowa Hill. The
company owns one mile on the channel.
The ground is opened by a tunnel f.
200 feet long. The tunnel is run in
about forty feet below the gravel,
which, by means of a series of up
raises and chutes. is taken out and
dropped into cars below and run out
to the mill. The gravel is slightly ce-
mented which necessitates crushing
through the ten-stamp mill which is
run by water power.
The gravel is worked from seven to
fourteen feet in hight. and the chan
mel is worked go feet wide There are
from $50 to 800 cars of gravel milled
per day. The gravel frequently shows
coarse gold. The company employ
from sixty to sixty-five men.
It is without doubt the most syste-
matically and extensively opened mine
to be found There is ground enough
blocked out to keep the mill running
steadily for three years without do
ing any more dead work H. Sim
mons is the acting superintendent, and
J. H. Neff superintendent and mana
ger.
BIG DIPPER.
This mine lies three miles southeast
of Iowa Hill. The company own one
mile on the channel In it's narrowest
place it is fifty feet wide and the wild
est is $50 feet. 1t courses northwest
erly, following New York Canyon. The
mine is worked through a tunnel, which
is now in over 1000 feet The gravel
is never breasted out less than six feet
and more often twenty feet. There is
all the necessary appliances for work
ing the property Systematically and
economically. 1t is, in short, another
paying mine Of the county. George d.
Blood is the superintendent and Sey-
mour Waterhouse the Secretary and
general manager. The characteristics
of the two mines are similar, and they
are thought to be in the same chan
mel.
The town Of Iowa Hill. which is a
lively mountain place, derives its sup
port from the mines around it. A
daily stage runs to it from Colfax.
Business is prosperous and all seem
to be employed and happy. W.
