Secretary Gage VIII Send One to Estimate the
Amount OF GOLD There.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 4.-Secrotary Gage has de-
cided to send mining expert to the Klondike
country to make an estimate OF the amount OF
gold in the region. He regards this as important
for the United States to know. There have been
several talks on the subject between the Secre-
tary and Mr.. Preston. the Director of the Mint.
They have agreed that an expert should be sent.
but that Il ia too late to secure the services of
proper person and have time for him to reach
the klonGikc before the Arctic winter sets in.
Soon after the gold discoveries in the Rand
the RothsChids sent Hamilton Smith OF New
York there to estimate the value OF the fields,
and he reported that $4,000, 100000 was his
estimate. The Rand fields are included within
an area OF ten by torty miles. Mining experts
doubted the correctness OF Mr.. Smiths CON
cusions on account of the smalness of the space
occupied by the mines, and the German Govern
ment sent to the Rand Bcrgath Schmciser a
noted mining engineer, to make report with
reference to Mr.. smiths estimate. The Govern.
ment OF tho United States followed Germany's
example by sending George F. Becker there.
Both Schmeiser and Becker agreed with tho
statement OF Mr.. Smith and developments have
shown that all three were right.

Mr.. Quigg was asked If he wanted fusion

NATION FAIRLY LAUNCHED.
Statement of the New York Banks
for the Week Favorable

NEW YORK, Aug 2S.-The Financier
says: The statement of the associated
banks for the week is favorable and
reflects the steadiness of business
throughout the entire country. The
greater part of the increase of loans can
be accounted for in commercial loans
and re-discounts from country districts.
The increase in legals about offsets
the decrease in specie, leaving little
difference in the reserve since last
week. The deposits of the National
City bank show an increase of 81, ,055,-
900, leaving a decrease among the other
banks of S1,657,300. 1t was expected by
every one that the heavy Withdrawals
OF currency and demands from the in
terror, would have caused a decrease
In the reserve, but this stands much
the same as last week. The extra de-
posits Of the National City has been
the factor of no change taking place.
Inc movement of currency to interior
points during the week, has been con-
siderable, the National Bank of the
Republic alone having shipped nearly
$1,O0O,0O0. During the ENSUING week
there are certain to be further heavy
calls on New York for currency and
the next statement will undoubtedly
show considerable changes. Eyerv-
thing indicates that the country is
fairly launched on the sea of pros
perity.
