US TO recognition, and although, personally
/ am content with the satisfaction of hav-
ing been there and come back alive would
not be averse to accepting my share in
whatever Mr.. Arkell will achieve in his
claims. OF course. you understand that Mr..
Arkelrs claim for the kIondyke district
will have to be filed with the Canadian
government, whereas the claims of the Lake
Clarke district are in the United States ter
ritory.
Mr.. Schanz was to-day offered $4,000 for
his interest in the gold field claims by Harry
p. Clark, of Godfrey & Clark. Pittsburg,
Pa. Mr.. Clark is a brother-in-law of the
Arkells and viii accompany Bartlett Arkell
to the gold fields to claim the Glave and
Schanz locations of 1890 and 1891. 1t seems
that Mr.. Clark wants to acquire a share IN
the claims for himself so as to push them
in his own interest. 1t is stated here that
Mr.. Schanz will not accept Mr.. Clarks
offer, believing there is a great deal more
money in it if the Arkell claims are sub
stantiated. Mr.. z. T. Barry, of Chicago,
who is interested largely in Cripple Creek,
came down to the springs to-day and is
acting on behalf of a Chicago syndicate
formed for grubstaking prospectors and
buying claims in the Klondyke. He kept
the wires hot to-day about the Schanz loca-
lions, and is said to have offered $780, 900
cash and royalty for them.

An Expert VIII Investigate.

WASHINGTON, July 24-Recognizing the
Importance of the recent gold discoveries in
Alaska and adjoining territory, and in
obedience to the widespread demand for
authentic information in regard thereto,
the commissioner of labor has detailed from
his regular force an expert thoroughly IA
miliar with all the features of gold min
ing to proceed Immediately to the Klon-
and exhaustive study of the conditions as
they exist there. 1t is the intention of the
committee to embody these facts in d spe-
cial report or bulletin of the department,
which will appear at as early date 40 pos
sible. This is a subject of absorbing inter-
est to all classes, and in making the inves-
tgation the commissioner believes that he
is working in the interest of the unem-
ployed Such a report as that contem-
plated, giving the unbiased facts as to the
opportunities for the investment of capital
and the employment of labor, wages, cost
of living, etc, he believes will be of great
value to the people of this country.

Lon0on Has the Fever

NEW YORK, July PA dispatch to the
World from London says: The Klondyke
discoveries promise to start d fever in Lon
don as we'll as New York The South Afri-
can successes have educated the Londoner
up to the gold fevers, and the agents of the
Atlantic Transportation Company and other
cheap lines tell of many applications from
men wishing to go to Alaska. The new
Canadian transatlantic line is actually hur-
rying work upon line OF new boats so as
to get its share of the rush. The tremendous
number OF experienced gold miners in Lon
don who have worked in South Africa
would make formidable rivals to the anna
teur American fortune seekers. Most of the
English miners are bound for the Canadian
diggings as they express great confidence
in the English regulations concerning min
eral discoveries, and in the system of policy
which the government will be sure to intro
duce in the districts as soon as any great
number OF people are there.

magnate. now in this city, state that the
wonderfully rich strikes reported from the
Klondyke region have been, totally eclipsed
by fabulous discoveries of gold in the South
American republic. In an interview to-day
Mr. Moranda says that there is no longer
any doubt that the famous Inca gold fields
which have been considered as myths
among the intelligent people of Peru, have
at last been discovered The location Of the.
newly discovered bonanzas is in the de-
partments of Cuzco and Puma. in the east

been famous for their richness In precious
