Weigher w. w. Underhill, of the Sell
by Smelling company, states that the
gold from the Yukon is not of so much
value as that produced in California.
In speaking of this matter, he said:
I'VE have found the miners from the
Yukon a very nice class of people to
deal with, and they have not been de-
Ceived in the value of the gold they
have brought back with them. 1t is
fact that the Yukon gold is not as
valuable as that produced in this state.
We have found that there are from
fifty to one hundred points more base
metal in the northern product. These
base metals are iron, lead and a few
others. and there is a large quantity of
silver also. We look principally for the
gold and silver. 1t is the iron that
gives the Yukon gold it's fine rich color.
"Of course these other metals de-
crease the value a little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth SIT and $1S
per ounce, and the finer gold dust is
worth from SIG to SIT per ounce.
With the California gold value is
about 81 an ounce more than that,
nuggets running from $1S to $40, and
gold dust never less than SIT per ounce.
Our assayers have found several other
metals than those l have mentioned,
but no attention is paid to them, as the.
other base metals do not cut much of a
figure in the general value"

STRUCK BY AN ELECTRIC.
NeIsOn-Tenney Driver Perhaps
Fatally Injured In Collision.

William A. Wilson, driver in the employ
OF the Nelson Tenney Lumber company, and
residing at 1917 Sixth street northeast sus-
tanned injuries in a collision with trolley
car at Summer street and Central avenue last
evening, which may prove fatal He was
driving a four-horse team on Summer street
at $50 o'clock. At the intersection by Cen
trail avenue double team of horses ap
preached going west, and Wilson drew up his
horses to allow the latter to turn northward
on Central avenue. An electric car came
bowling southwark but owing to Wilson being
seated about the middle of his. wagon, be-
hind two teams of horses, he did not notice
1t until after he had again started forward.
Then he thought there was time to cross, and
whipped his horses. The motorman had seen
the team stop, and thinking 1t was to await
the passage of the car, kept on his. way.
When Wilson started forward again the lever
of the was quickly reversed, but a
collision could not be averted. Wilson had
got his horses across, and the car struck
the middle Of the wagon, throwing the driver
out onto the northern car tracks. He was
cut and bruised about the head, and thought
to have sustained internal injuries. The CEN
trail patrol wagon took him to his home. The
vestibule of the slightly shattered

HAVE AN ALASKA CRAZE.
Score of minneapolis Men VIII Go
to the Yukon.

to the Yukon.
w. F. Lothamer. living at 527 Tenth avenue
south, has become affected by the Clondyke
river gold craze. He says that he has sold
out his barber shop. and is now making ar
engagements to go with a party of about
twenty to the lower part of Alaska, to take
overland route to the Yukon.
There are number Of good men behind
u.s." he said, and they will furnish enough
money to get US there. and will fix us up
with a good outfit. We will take our chances
OF making our way back after we've reached
the gold fields"
They will take with them sleds and dogs,
complete camping outfit, and all tools needed
for the mining. Mr.. Lothamer did not feel
at liberty to give any names and was not
sure as to the time the party would leave
but everything Will probably be arranged in
the course of a week or Two.
The direct cause OF this movement Is the
report Of young man named Charles Nc
Ginnis who came from Juneau. Alaska, last
May. Young McGinnis said that he left
Minneapolis early in the spring and took
passage to the southern coast of Alaska, look
Ing for a job. He had heard that work at
he was disappointed. He never got more
than s. day. and 1t took 81 of it to live
even in the cheapest manner.
Juneau was full Of prosDectors and for
tune hunters. The route from Juneau is
TO take a smaller steamer to the little town
Of Dyea and start the overland passage from
there. A blind trail through the mountains
is followed for about fifty miles until small
lake Is reached. Here they camp build a
beat raft of logs. and then strike one
Of the branches Of the Yukon which flows
out OF the lake. They can then float down
the stream to the mouth Of the Yukon, or
on farther until the reach the mouth Of the
Clondyke. All this. Mr.. McGnnis says
to have a constitution like a lumberman,
and the energy of pioneer to tackle those
Alaskan mountains. He says however that
he would go back again in a minute If he
had the money and outfit necessary, and he
may accompany the party spoken Of.

Every train out to Minnetonka yes
terday was loaded to the guards with
pleasure seekers bound for Lake Park.
The occasion was the annual picnic
of the Minneapolis Police Relief asso-
citation. From what could be seen at
the depot the picnic appeared to be
very much of family affair. There
were policemen by scores and from the
large sized grin on each countenance
all of them were evidently out to en-
joy themselves, in spite of the orders
from headquarters requiring the major
ity to report promtly at the different
stations at o'clock in the evening.
Unless one was acquainted with the
personnel of the force it would have
been an extremely difficult task to rec
ogniZe the stalWart fellows as regular
Salaried guardians of the peace, as
with few exceptions they were dressed
in citizens clothes. Wives, sisters and
sweethearts were out in force, and as
large, stuffy baskets and packages were
in evidence it was plain that the af-
fair was to partake largely of the gen
uine nature of a picnic. A great many,
however, took dinner at the Lake Park
hotel
superintendent of Police Smith, ac-
companied by the committee on ar
engagements, took the first train out at
SIS o'clock and helped get things in
readiness for the arrival of the push"
Matt Mallon, secretary of the associ-
alton, made the depot his headquarters
during the morning and acted as official
guide and bureau of information. The
second train out left at 9:15 o'clock,
and the last morning train pulled out
at Ills. An immense delegation went
out on the afternoon trains.
The exercises at the lake commenced
promptly after dinner. The programme
was as follows: Music, Daley's orches-
ira: address, Mayor Pratt; response,
Judge Steele; duet, music glasses and
guitar, Officers Odin Void and Gus
Volk; solo, bagpipe, Officer George Sin
clair; mandolin duet, Daniel Schaeffer
and Charles Olson. A programme of
sports followed.
The steamers Tonka, Alert and Saucy
Kate left the Lake Park dock for a
tour Of the lower lake every half hour
during the day, and this feature of the
occasion proved a very popular source
of amusement
The picnic was a success in every
way, and every one enjoyed it hugely.
Moonlight rides and dancing in the
pavilion were the attractions in the
evening.

Washinston in liza.

Mr.. Bayard greatly surprised at least
ninety-hve in hundred of his Independence
day hearers at Philadelphia by reading to
them this extract from letter written in
the October of 1774, by Col. George Washing
ton, of Virginia, to a British military man:
Give me leave to add and 1 think 1 can
assume it is fact, that it is not the wish or
interest of that government (Massachusetts)
or any other upon this continent to set up for
independence. . 1 am we'll satisfied
that no such thing is desired by any thinking
man in all North America; on the contrary
that it is the ardent wish of the warmest ad-
vOcates Of liberty that peace and tranquility
upon constitutional grounds may be restored
and the horrors OF evil discord be prevented"
Not many months later the writer of this
letter was in command of the Continental
forces and on his way to Cambridge, Mass.

Post-Mortem Necessary to Determine
Cause of Death.

Christian Evenson the proprietor Of

Eevenson had been very sick man for
nearly year and half At that time he
had an attack of what is supposed TO have
been asthma. Four physicians are said to
have been called in, but could give the man
no re.:ef. Mrs. Ole Anderberg, faith curist,
residing at 25O9 Eleventh avenue south, was
then called in, and temporary relief is sad
to have resulted. Since then Evenson is
said 10 have had no belief in the regular
tablished medical assistance. Although Mrs.
Anderberg furnished relief, /: is evident that
1t was but temporary, as the patient has
been a regular caller ever since. Although
MRS. Anderberg never told him what was
the matter with him, she asserted accord ng
to a statement made last evening by Mrs.
Evenson. that she would be able to furnish
rel1ef for the ailment, which would, however,

Cotton. Dr.. Cotton could not immed ately
but took some of the mans blood and sent
it to the university for analysis, with
query if it was not typhoid fever. A mega
tive answer was received. Evenson called
once more upon DR.. Cotton, and was once
seen at his home. Monday however, he re-
jected medical assistance and went back to
the faith cure. Since then'>up to yes er5ay
morning he has been constantly attended by
Mrs. Anderberg. Early yesterday morning
Mrs. Evenson decided to take matters into
her own hands, and called in DR.. w. H.

LADIES ROMANCE.
Owner of the Site of Dawson CITY to
Be Married.

PLATTsBURG, N. Y, July 22.-Jo-
seph Ladue, owner Of the town site Of
Dawson City, Alaska, is now on the
way to his former home at Schuyler
Falls, Clinton county, N. Y, to be ma
ried. His bride is said to be Miss Ma
son. 1t is said that Ladue and Miss
Mason were to have been married long
ago, but Miss Mason's parents opposed
the match because Ladue was too poor
to marry. Ladue went to the Black
Hills in search of gold. He was quite
successful, but before coming East to
claim his bride he went into a specula-
ton at Deadwood and lost every dollar
he possessed. Ladue wrote to Miss Ma
son of his misfortune, and soon after
went to Alaska. He did not return
home until two years ago, and then it
was settled that upon his return from
another trip to Alaska, they would be
married. AS Ladue is said to be a
millionaire, the parents of the bride
will offer no objections to the union,
and it is probable that Mr. and Mrs.
Iadue will spend their honeymoon on
their way to the gold fields, where they
intend to live for at least three years

CLAIMED BY ARKELL.
Leslie Expedition Said to Have Dis
covered the CIondyI&e Field.

NEW YORK, July CIV. ]. Arkell,
of the Arkell Weekly company, of this
city, announced tonight that he eX-
pected to claim the gold fields in the
CIondyke district by right Of discovery
for the estate of E. j. Glave. This is
the latest and most interesting phase
Of the excitement prevailing here over
the recent discovery in the far North.
Glave was the explorer who headed
the expedition to Alaska in 1S90-91, Or
ganized by w. J. Arken, of Leslie's
Weekly. The party consisted OF GlaVe,
f. H. Wells, of Cincinnati; A. B.
Schanz, of Indiana Mineral Springs,
Ind, and P. B. Pierce and Joan Dalton,
of San Francisco. Thirty Indians were
also with the party. After the return
of Glave and his party from the frozen
North, the explorer was sent by the
Century company to Africa to study
the slave trade. He lived among the
natives for some time, and on accOmp-
fishing his work. returned to the coast.
When about to sail for the United
States he contracted a fever, which
resulted in his death. Before leaving
for Africa Glave told Mr. Arkell that
he had staked out claims in the Clon-
dyke district, and that on his return
he intended to go again to Alaska and
spend the remainder Of his life.
Mr. Arkell said tonight that as he
started this expedition he believes he
has claim by right of discovery to the
Clondyke territory. and if he sue
ceeds in establishing his claim it will
be on the theory that undiscovered"
countries. where maps are filed with
the government by the discoveries as
was done in this case, it gives the eX-
plorer certain interests that might de-
Velop. Mr.. Arkell said that he had re-
ceived kilograms from Schanz and
Wells, two members of the first expe-
dition to Alaska, claiming their in
terests in the event the government
should recognize their right by dis
covery.
Mr.. Arkell proposes to organize an
expedition orce to the territory dis
covered and explored by Glave and
party. This expedition will be headed
by Mr.. A1kelPs brother, Bartlett Ark
ell, who Will be accompanied by his
brother-in-law, Harry P. Hall, of
Pittsburg, and a number of newspaper
men.
