Denver, CoIo.. Aug. 30.-A special to
the News from Lincoln. Neb.. says:
Hen. w. j. Bryan arrived home today
from his featuring tour. The Journey
has consumed three months. He was
greeted with great acclaim throughout

rey's end, and his arrival here was the
signal for 5000 people 30 gather at
The depot and hurrah for the apostle of
EtmelealffSrn.
Mr.. Bryan declared that his "trip had
been a success in every respect. and
that ct 10 place had there been such
an enthusiastic reception as in Ne
braska- towns.
He thought the silver sentiment had.
if anything, received an impetus in the
past few months; at any rate, he found
it flourishing.
Biretaalsm, he asserted. would be
as live an issue three years hence as
it was last fail, and would be found to
be a. much more powerful argument in
securing the ballots of the masses.
The prosperity of Nebraska he con-
ceived to be due wholly to the good
crops. and that the prosperity incident
therefo was absolutely in spite of the
Republican tariff and the success OF
the gold party.

Albert Fisher, of the Fisher Brewing
company, of this city, who made the
trip to Alaska. points with the eXcur-
sions that have visited these northern
waters during the present summer
has returned home, and while he did
not catch the Klondike fever. he was
in close touch with many who had it
bad, and is consequently pretty we'll
posted as to the condition of affairs in
the coast towns in the frigid zones over
which the United States holds sway.
MIR. Fisher left Seattle on the 7th of
this month on the steamboat called the
Queen. and on the trip he stopped at
Juneau, Dyea and Skaguay.
The Queen was loaded with prospec-
tors who were heading for the Kton-
dixie gold diSgings. many of whom
went on to Skaguay, where they in
tended going over the White pass, but
upon their arrival there they found
that 1t was almost impossible to make
the trip this fail, in consequence of
which many who had had the fever
became discouraged and sold their out
MS at so low a figure that when Mr..
Fisher left on his homeward Journey
provisions were cheaper in that sea-
port town than they are in Salt Lake
today.
At Deyea. where the outfits of the
hlondikers were piled up on the beach.
a big tidal wave came in and ruined
a large portion of the provisions. which
added TO the disbursements en-
countered by the gold seekers, so that
1t is estimated that not more than one
out of ten of them will ever reach
Dawson City, and even these success
full ones. although well equipped with
supplies, are likely to be reduced to
very short rations before food can
reach them next spring.
At juneau. Dyea and Skaguay, ac-
cording TO Mr. Fisher, boats can be
purchased at song. as many of the
prospectors were equipped with small
vessels with which to navigate the
lakes until the Klondike was reached,
but as il was found to be impossible to
pack them over the pass, they were
necessarily left behind until they be-
came a drug on the market
Mr.. Fisher also stated that the bust
ness men of Juneau spoke dfsparag-
ingly Of the Klondlke gold diggings,
and that the nearer one got to the gold
fields the less the enthusiasm regard
ing them.
II is the prevailing opinion on the
coast towns that there will be a great
deal of suffering in the Klondike coun-
try during the coming winter, and yet
every steamer bound for Juneau, Dyea
or Skaguay is loaded down with pros
pective millionaires who are bound for
this land of promise

COPPER AND GOLD ORE.
Fine Body of Mineral Discovered In
the Sheppard Mine.

Park City, Aug. 30-NIr. w. D. Shep-
pard, of the Sheppard Mining company,
brought to the city today for an assay
a sample of ore which he thinks will
give good values in copper and gold
1t came from the ledge that has Just
been struck in drift from the bottom
OF the Lowell shaft which is $50 feet
deep. He says the ledge is uncovered
to the width of seven feet and the
footwall has not yet been reached The
sample bears a resemblance to the
Valeo copper gold ore Besides the
streak of gold ore, which varies in
width from a few inches to three feet,
the vein carries some good looking
rock that may assay well in silver and
lead.
The point where the vein was cut is
about ten feet within the Sheppard
ground, it being reached through a
drift from the Lowell shaft, upon
which the Sheppard company has OBJ
tanned a lease. Before exploring the
vein the drift will be pushed forward
to cut another ledge that lays farther
south The vein strikes east and west
and dips TO the north 1t lays fiatter
than Mr.. Sheppard anticipated, having
been encountered in the drift at a
point % feet less distant from the
shaft than he expected. The Sheppard
property may be added TO the list of
ore shippers in the not distant future.
