of the Carnegie-Oliver interests on the
Menominee and Mesaba ranges made
tour of inspection of the Mesaba
range mines last week. DR.. Hulst
was well pleased and upon his return
to Duluth spoke of the outlook in
general to newspaper and iron men at
the Spalding.
DR.. Hulst takes a very cheerful
view Of the outlook for the iron
business the coming year. He says
that he has not been in the harness
long enough to feel entirely at
home on all subjects relating to the
iron business, but he looks for
improvement in many ways for the
ore trade next season.
Il anticipate that the properties
that l represent will be worked
heavily next year." said DR.. Hulst.
II look for very active season. The
percentage of Mesaba ores will
doubtless be as large next season as
this. There will probably be some
improvement in prices of ore, but a
very marked advance. This is merely
an opinion and as | have been
actively engaged, but short time
my present connection [ speak with
some hesitancy and with not as much
to back up my views as i ought to
have in order to speak with convict
ion. Yes l anticipate the Bessemer
association will be continued"

McGilFs single initiated the eighth,
but Nichol took three flies in all parts
of middle field, and McGilPs hit, with

tween the flies, were both wasted.
PARROT gathered in Clarkson's fly,
but McGill gave Delehanty a base.

CARTS head. billiard famed, but Hines
hit a good hard one and scored one of
the three runs which the visitors need
ed to tie. Nichol claimed to be hit on
the wrist, and McCauley allowed it.
That filled the bases. McGill pitched
four bad ones at Steinfeldt and forced
in another run. The visitors We're only
one behind. Burnett hit to left field
and PARROT let the ball get away from
him. Burnett went to third and the
other runners We're all in. From one
behind, the visitors had leaped to two
ahead. Hollingsworth made a pretty
stop of Trost's hard hit, but it was all
too late.
Shugart was thrown out by Dele
hanty. Steinfeldt made a bad throw
on Parrot, and a homer would have
tied, but Spies hit high in air and
Hines caught it. Hollingsworth want
ed to drive it out but was given four
balls. A good three-bagger would
have tied then. 1t was McGill's turn

Dawson City Is to Be Inc OrpOrnted
and All the Necessary Munic-
ipaI Officers Chosen.

SEATTLE, Wash, July 19.-The
amount Of treasure brought down from
the famed Klondyke by the steamship
Portland is now placed at $1,5G0,00
and there is good reason to believe that
the sum was nearer to $2,000,000 In
this connection something in the ma
ture of a confidence game has been
worked on the North American Trading
and Transportation company. or it's Of
ficials in charge of the Portland, by
the miners. Each man was required to
place his gold chest in the ships safe,
but this was not done by any means.
Many of the miners secreted their dust
in blankets and luggage, which were
taken either to their staterooms or
thrown carelessly about the ship.
Clarence j. Berry, one of the Klon-
dyke kings, brought down at least $S4,-
900 in nuggets not a cent of which the
Portland had any record. The state
ment is made on the authority of
Capt. William Kidson, the master Of
the vessel. When pressed for an esti-
mate as to the grand total of the Port
lands gold cargo, Capt. Kidson said it
was no doubt nearer $2,OOOOOO than the
amount accounted for on the ships rec
ords.
At present only miners laws rule the
camp, but next year Dawson City will
be incorporated and municipal officers
elected. The miners are determined on
one thing, however, namely that order
will be preserved at all hazards. No
sure thing gamblers will be permitted
in either Dawson City or the diggings.
Information comes that several strikes
have recently been made in the neigh
borhood of Forty Mile. 1t has been
christened Minute creek, and is now
panning out $22 a day to the man. An
other discovery on American creek, fif-
ty miles below Forty Mile camp, is
said to be paying we'll, and a great
number of men have fiocked there dur
ing the last few days. The pan runs
from $40 to $18, 1t is thought likely

KLONDYKE COUNTY.
River known as the Reindeer on the
Charts

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 19.-An in
teresting letter telling of the trip of the
steamer Excelsior to Alaska has been
written by Capt. J. F. Higgins, of the
steamer, to a friend in this city He
says;
''The word Klondyke means Deer
river, and is called Reindeer river on
the charts. 1t empties into the Yukon
fifty miles above the big river. Bonan-
Ia creek dumps into Klondyke about
two miles above the Yukon. Ell Dorado
is tributary to the Bonanza. There
are numerous other creeks and tribu-
taries, the main river being 800 miles
long. The gold so far has been taken
from Bonanza and Ell Dorado, both well
named, for the richness of the placers
is marvellous.
LAS each claim is 500 feet along the
creek, there is half a million to the
claim. One of our passengers who is
taking $1,000 with him, has worked 100
feet of his ground and refused $500, 900
for the remainder, and confidently ex-
poets to clean up $400, 900 more He has
in bottle $212 from one pan of dirt.
His pay dirt, while being washed,
averaged $3.50 an hour for each man
shovelling. Two others of our miners
who worked their own claims, cleaned
up $4,000 from the days washing. There
is about fifteen feet of dirt above bed
rock, the pay streak averaging from
four to six feet, which is tunnelled out
while the ground is frozen. Two of
our fellows thought a small bird in the
hand worth a large one in the bush,
and sold their claims for $4,000, get
ting $4,000 down, the remainder to be
paid in monthly installments of $4,000
each. The purchasers had no more
than $4,000 paid. They were twenty
days thawing and getting out dirt
Then there was no water to sluice with
but one fellow made a rocker, and in
ten days took out the $4,000 for the
first installment. So, tunnelling and
rocking, they took out $4,000 before
there was water to sluice with. OF
course, these things read like that of
the story of Aladdin, but fiction is
not atall in it with facts at Klondyke
The ground located and prospscted can
be worked out in a few years, but here
is still an immense territory untouched
and the laboring man who can get there
with one years provisions will have
better chance to make a stake than in
any other part of the world"

MILLERS FAIRLY OUTPLAYED.
No Claim of Bad Luck to Account fol
Defeat.

Yesterdays was the first game the Millers
lost to the Columbus team through superior
batting, at Nicollet park. There were two
or three errors thrown in, but they were not
responsible for the loss of the game. They
simply aided the visitors in scoring one or
two of their runs, but setting all errors aside,
those made by Lotus men and those made
by the home team the visitors won the game
because they batted and fielded better.
1t was the least interesting of the three
games played with Columbus. Until the sixth
inning, however, it was anybody's game.
but after that there was little doubt of the
result. Silver Baker was in the box for the
visitors. but lasted only one inning, when he
was relieved by Wolers who held the M;llers
down just enough to keep them slightly in
the rear. Herman did the twirling for the
Millers, and to his credit it may be said
not over effective, however, and the eighteen
hits scured from his delivery nearly all came
in the second, fourth and sixth innings, when

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 19.-The
weather was good and the attendance
large at the interstate drill today. The
championship contest was opened by
the Thurston Rifles, of Omaha, who
drilled this afternoon. They put up a
fine drill, though the Impression is that
they stand but little chance of winning
first prize. The company step was a
tri1e slow, and the file closers were q
little careless. After the Thurstou
drill the Morton cadets were made IA
vorites in The betting, to 2. The Dal-

the field and put. up splendid drill,
though the Nicely zouaves are still fa-

five minutes before a company is to
drill and will not allow either officers
or privates of competing companies TO
witness the drill of rival companies.
