Great stories Told or the Rich Ledge, or Mount
RnkeF.

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept, l7.-Seattle Is excited
this evening over a report OF new gold discov.
cries OF marvellous richness ON Mount Baker,
one of the highest peaks Of the Cascade range
In the northwest part OF Washington. The
the conductor Of the Seattle and International
Railway from SumaS. His engineer had de.
serted the train at Sumas. and the fireman was
obliged to bring the train here alone. II was
through this engineer, J. c. Doolittle, that the
discovery was made.
Prospectors, grub-staked by the engineer, are
said to have discovered free-milling gold lodges
that nssay as high az 80, 900 to the ton. They
tried to keep the report quiet until they had
located on oil the good claims. but the story
leaked out. and a mad rush has begun from the
northern counties OF the State to Mount Baker.
Fifty.nine men left Sumas last night for tho
new diggings and the rest OF the town will follow
them post haste to. morrow. 1t has been known
since last year that the mother lode was ex.
posed on Mount Baker in various places, but tho
rock was regarded as OF too low value for min.
ing. The discovery a few weeks ago OF placer
gold on the sand bars OF Nooksack River caused
tho old story OF lodges OF virgin gold on Mount
Baker to be revived. Doolittle and other Seat.
tie men grub.staked three prospectors and sent
them into the country with instructions to ex-
plore the headquarters OF the Sooksack for the
lodges from which the placer gold found
further down was worked. The prospectors
brought back three sacks Of samples Weighing
about 9, 100 pounds in all. and had a mill assay
made. resulting in q clean sweep OF $50 from the
100 pounds, packed out.

Lyman Gage arrived in Chicago to-day on his
first visit home since his acceptance of the Cati-
net place last March. During the forenoon he
visited the First National Bank. Of which he was
President for many years. In an interview Mr..
Gage said he was hero to look after his private
business. In reply to a question as to whether
he believed the financial conditions Of the coun.
try were improving steadily, he said:
ct think the country generally is improving.
1t is hardly necessary to speak Of this. for the
reason that the general, conditions of the country
speak for themselves. The improvement Is
marked"
In speaking Of the gold reserve. Mr.. Gage
said that It was ample and increasing steadily.
He believed that we had rather more OF a gold
reserve than we needed. He declined to talk
upon the new Currency Commission, saying
had been selected, and he had perfect confidence
in them. He could not predict what would DO

The steamboat Catskm. which sank in the
North River Off Fifty eighth street on wednes-
day evening after q collision with the 81. Johns.
was raised yesterday afternoon. One body. that
Of Mrs. Maria Mcdonald OF GuttenburR. ". J.,
was recovered. That OF her daughter. Mrs.
Susan Morris, and possibly that OF lit
tie Berthe Zimmerman are thought to be
In the wreck still. for. although the boat
was towed down the river some distance II was
not thoroughly searched owing to the coming OF
darkness. Mrs. Morris was at her mothers
side at the { me Of the accident, and Is pre-
sumed to have met a similar fate. For this
reason her body Is more surely thought TO be
In the boat than that OF the Zimmerman hoy.
who may have been knocked overheard in the
panic following the collision.
The Merritt-Chapman Wrecking Company
had charge OF the work OF raising the Catskill.
The tugs Reliance and Monarch commenced the
task on Thursday afternoon. Divers were en-
Ployed to place, the heavy chains under the
boats hull. and also to search for tho bodies
afternoon, the stern Of the boat, which was
much higher than the bow. which had been
means OF the chains and derricks.
During the operation Henry Mcdonald. the
son OF Mrs. McDonald. stood on one OF the tugs.
A few minutes after the raising was accom-
plished he noticed n body come to the surface OF
the water and recognized 1t as that OF his
mother. He called assistance and the body was
taken ashore, where an nndertaker's wagon
was waiting to receive 1t. so sure was Mellon
aid that he would find the bodies of both his
mother and sister on the boat. The body was
removed to the West Forty.seventh street po-
lice station, where II was kept until last night,
when q Coroner's permit for removal was Sc.
cured. Then tho body was taken to Gutenberg.
The fact that Mrs. McDOnald's body was not
found by the divers and yet zane 10 the sur
face as the result OF the raising of the Catskill
makes Mcdonald all the more convinced that
his sisters body 10 still In the wreck. The un-
dertaker who had charge of Mrs. McDonald's
body said that from his cursory examination OF
1t she had not been badly injured before death,
which. in HIS opinion, was due to drowning.
The Catskill was towed I tho foot Of West
Thiriieth street. and. 1t being dark then. was
tied up for the night. She will be thoroughly
searched to-day.

B~ISGHAMroN. Sept l7.-On Tuesday night the
family OF Frank Weaver. who lives In a build
ing that was formerly used as u store at Ona-
quaga station. were aroused from sleep by a
burglar who had gained an entrance to
the building. Weaver jumped out OF
bed and ~grappled with tho intruder. He
was fast getting tho better of him when tho
thief called for help. Four men then rushed in
and pounded Weaver over the head with re-
volvers until he became unconscious. Then
they tied his wife and two sons in bed and put
gags into their mouths so that they could make
no outcry.
After leaving one OF the number to guard tho
prisoners, tho others broke into the store part of
the building. where was stored the safe and a
quantity of goods OF John Carson, who was to
move them into a new store on the following
day.
The thieves blew open the safe and secured
about 800 in money. besides postage stamps
and some notes. They also helped themselves
TO some cigNrs. tobacco. and canned goods. Be-
fore they left they united the youngest boy and
told him not to release the others unit! morning,
or they would come back and kill him.
As soon as they were gone. however, the little
fellow cut the cords that bound his mother and
brother. and the alarm was given. A posse OF
farmers. armed with shOtguns. secured the
neighborinR woods. but could ind no trace OF
the thieves, Weaver's injuries are very serious,
and his recovery Is doubtful.

Special Cable Despatch to THE suS.
SIMLA. Sept. l7.-Gcn. Jeffreys's brigade, which
was sent to punish the Mohmand tribesmen, has
met with a serious reverse. A Sikh regiment,
supported by four guns, a mountain battery.
and six companies of British infantry. was or
dered to attack the tribesmcn in the hills In
which they had taken refuge after their defeats
OF yesterday.
The British force had momentary success, but
was compelled finally to retreat before superior
numbers. The tribesmen surrounded a portion
OF the Sikh regiment, and the day would have
gone badly with them had not a cavalry charge
been made, which temporarily relieved them.
Soon thereafter all the British force had to re-
tire again. II was dark before the British
reached their camp.
Gen. ~Jeffreys, with his escort, and the COM
pany Of guides became separated from the coll
umn, which passed them in the darkness. Gen.
Jeffreys took refuge in a village, which, 1t was
soon discovered. was held mostly by the Moh-
mands. Tho tribesmen attacked the British
repeatedly until the British were relieved by o
force that was sent to their succor. 1t is inn
possible to give n complete list Of the British
casualties. but it is known that thirty.eiGht
men were killed and a hundred wounded.
Among the wounded is Gen. Jcffreys.
Reports were received here to-day that the
Pass on the night of Sept. ii were pursued by
a cavalry squadron, which overlook and killed
twenty-one of the tribesmen without suffering
the loss of a man.

mnnd Help from the Mayor.

TRENTON, Sept. 1.-THE pupils of the High
School made q demonstration to-day in favor
of a now building for their accommodation.
Among the number were about thirty boys
and girls who are unable to gain admission be-
cause Of tho lack OF room. The present build
ing, erected over twenty years ago, has seat
ing capacity for go. but All pupils are crowd.
ed in, three sitting at seats intended for two.
Yesterday the pupils held a meeting and de-
cided to wait upon Mayor Sickle to-day and ask
him to urge the Common Council to appropri-
alto money for a.High School building. The
pupils marched in a body to the Mayors office
and jess Love presented resolutions adopted
an address in which he told the May or that
they would invite him TO the High School build.
Ing. but they were SO crowdedsthat they feared
the entrance OF a man OF the Mayors corpu-
lency might prove disastrous 10 the pupils.
Mayor Sickle promised TO use his good offices
with the Council to secure the needed appropri-
alton and was cheered by the girls and boys.
The High School situation Is curious. Tho
Board OF Education for eight years has asked
for a new building. The Legislature author
lied the Council TO Issue bonds for $4,000 to
purchase q site and erect n building II the peo-
pie so voted. The people voted 5 to ! in favor,
and now the Council refuses TO make the APP
preparation for fear OF raising the tax rate.
The question will probably be settled next
Tuesday. Threats have been made OF securing
q writ of mandamus on the Council to compel
1t to make the appropriation.

FAST YACHTS IN COLLISION.
The Vamoose'a Decks wept by the Mariettar
Howsprit on the Rattery.

The fast steam yachts vamoose. owned by
Frank Morrell. and the Marietta, the property
OF Harrison b. Moore, collided shortly before 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon of the Battery,
damaging the Vnmoose. but not to such an ex-
tent as to delay her usual afternoon trip up the
Hudson more than about half an hour. The
yamoose had just taken on board her owner
and a party of friends at the yacht basin below
Pier /. She made a wide detour between Gov
ernor's Island and the Battery. swinging around
to the westward when In the channel. The Ma
rietta was heading north toward the Battery
pier, stemininR the strength OF the ebb tide in
the teeth OF half a gale from the northwest.
The pilot on the Vamoose tried to cross the bows
of the larger yacht, but with the strong wind
and tide bearing her seaward. 1t was impossible,
and the short bowsprit on Mr.. Moore's yacht
struck the smaller vessel abaft the funnel and
swept her deck clear. Everything was carried
away. including the boat and davits on the star
board side and the brass stanchions on both
sides from amidship. The sailors on the Va
moose had q lively time lodging the ~bowsprit as
IL swept aft.
The Marietta was not damaged. and her owner,
II. Is. Moore. stated after the accident that in
his opinion the VamOose was to blame in trying
TO cross his bows under the existing circum.
stances. The yamoose steamed up the river
after a short delay with Mr.. Morref1 and his
guests on board.
