ed to enable it to pay the large force
of sanitary and other help that is re-
ouired in handling the situation here
No MONEY FROM THE GOVERNOR
There does not seem to be al present
much hope that Gov. Foster will ad'
vance any money, because his excel
lency has no legal right to do so, He
would have to violate the written law
in giving the board additional money
at this time.

FAILING SIGHT.
A Skillful Oculo-Optician Has Glasses
That Will Relieve 1t.

For some unexplained reason the num-
Der of people in need of glasses seems
to be growing greater, but it is undoubt-
edly true that the sight of many per-
sons is injured by wearing glasses not
adapted to their vision.
An expert of many years experience
and practice should always be employed
to make a selection, after using scientific
tests. The celebrated 0culo-Optician.
DR. Louis Ell. Matthez, at the Marlborough
House, is prepared to furnish glasses to
all with weak or failing sight.
His education and long experience en-
able him to determine exactly what form
and compound of lenses can be used by
each person so as to be an advantage in
stead of a gradually increasing detriment
to the optical organs and his charges
are within the reach of all. 1t will cost
you nothing to personally investigate.

Fear That Starvation VIII Kill Many Of Thos<
Now Going to Alaska.

Captain Hays of the Steamer Ber-
tina and Mr.. Sloss of the Alaska Com
mercial Co. were interviewed in San
Francisco last week concerning the
rush of prospectors to the Gondyke
gold fields. The latter said in part:
"What we most fear is that the
excitement will cause many people
to rush northward without properly
considering how they are to live
through the winter after they get
there We have now about 5000
tons of provisions on the Yukon,
and are sending large additional
quantities, but we are not able to
say whether the supply will be equal
to the demand, or when the supplies
will reach their destination with any
certainty. The stern-wheel steamer
with which the Excelsior is to con-
meet will be the last to make the trip
to Dawson this season. 1t will reach
Dawson City, with a barge in tow,
about September, and must immedi.
ately return, as the river usually
freezes over early in October. 1t ID
for this reason, principally. that we
have declined to carry more than the
usual complement of passengers on
the Excelsior on this trip. We could
have easily constructed accommoda
tions for an extra hundred, but In
tend to utilize space for supplies te
feed those already there and thoss

WASHINGTON, July "a. The tariff

the conference report on the bill.
The announcement of the result was

struck a rich streak. To my sur
prise it was S2S3.5O. In fourteen
pans OF dirt they took out 81 ,565
right I'm the bottom of the shaft,
which was four by eight feet.
March 20 Clarence Berry took out
$500 to the pan. Jimmy McLain
took out over 500 to the pan
Frank Physcater took out Sl35 to
the pan. Four boys from Nanaimo
took as high as s125 to the pan.
They were the first to get hole
down to bed rock and get any pay.
They were Nos. ii and ID.
''In fact, big pans were being taken
out on nearly every claim on the
creek, and 800 and $500 pans were
common. April 80 Clarence Berry
took in one pan thirty-nine ounces,
495, and in two days panned out
over $1,2OO. April IA we heard that
some boys ON No. 80 Ell Dorado, had
struck 1t rich and had taken out
$500 in one pan. This was the ban
ner pan of the creek, and Charles
Meyers, who had the ground, told
me that il he had waited to pick the
dirt. he could have taken 100 ounces
just as easy.
Jimmy McLain took out $l1 900
during the winter just in prospecting
the dirt. Clarence Berry and his
partner, Anton Stander panned out
about the same in the same manner.
Mrs. Berry used to go down to the
dumps every day to get dirt and
carry 1T to the shanty and pan it
herself. She has over $4,000 taken
out i'm that manner.
"Mr. Lippin, from Seattle, has a
rich claim and his wife has a sack
nuggets worth $4,000 that she has
picked up on the dumps. When the
dumps were washed in the spring
the dirt paid better than was ex-
pected. Four boys on lay in Ell
Dorado took out $4,000 in four
months. Frank Physcator, who
owned the Grand, had some men
hired and cleaned up $4,000 for the
winter. Mr.. Lippin, SO | am told,
has cleaned up $54 900. Louis Rhodes,
No. 25 Bonanza, has cleaned up
$4,000, Clarence Berry and Anton
Stander cleaned up $500 last win
ter.
'.This is probably the richest placer
ever known in the world. They
took 1t out so fast and 80 much of
1t that they did not have time to
weigh it with gold scales. They
took steelyards and all the sirup cans
were filed"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Where Was Hartman when Montana Inter-
ests Needed Attention.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., July 22, 81.
The effort to prepare tariff bill is
drawing to "a close. Both branches
of congress have worked more indus
triously than ever before to complete
the measure. 1t has been pathetic to
old men who through a solemn sense
of duty, have really imperilIed their
lives i'm attending the sessions of the
senate and house during this ex-
tremely hot weather.
All things considered, Montana has
Jared well. Her wool and lead in
terests have been looked after and
finally duty of 10 per cent has been
secured on hides, which will add an
average of about 81 per head in
state. Candor compels an observer
to say that great credit is due to the
Montana senators, who have re-
manned at their posts constantly and
have watched carefully at every turn
of the road. Mr.. Mantle. though in
poor health, has been watchful and
constant in his efforts, and his col.
league, Senator Carter. has been here
on guard all the time. Their work
has evidently been rendered more
burdensome by the voluntary aban
donment of the whole scheme by Mr.
Hartman. The people of Montana
had right to expect that Mr.. Hart
man would stand by their interests
as well as representatives from Othel
sections of the country.
Appropriation bills have been il
the course of preparation, dividing
the time in both houses with tn
tariff bill. In these appropriation
bills Montana has had numerous ant
important interests and 1t has beel
very unfortunate to observe tina
representatives from other state
; have been compelled to step in ant
look after our state as a part of tn
