INVESTIGATION ENDs.-The United
States inspectors of steamboats,, Capt
Cooper and Edward F. White, who
have been investigating the recent col
liss;on between the Norfolk and Wash
ington steamer Newport News and
the ferry-boat Columbia, concluded
their la0ors in Georgetown yes erday
and returned to Baltimore. A great
mass of testimony was taken, and 1t
will be ten days or two weeks before
the inspectors will be able to make a
report on the case. Their report will
have to be approved by the supervising
inspector of steamboats, before it is made
public. There appeared to be wide
diversity of opinion among the witnesses
as to which boat ran into the other
AS the shore could not be seen it was
difficult to tell which Of the boats was
moving. All, however, agreed that the
morning was exceedingly foggy. Nj
Callahan, of the Norfolk and Washing
ton Company, stated that be had sew
eral witnesses who had not been ex
amined, but their testimony was not
deemed necessary in view of the large
number already heard.

THE WATER SUPpLY.-Ihe condi
ton of the Water used in this city is
still the subject of some discussion
some being apprehensive that it con.
tains germs which have caused cases OF
typhoid fever here. Others controvert
the assertion and say there is nothing
impure in the water, and that it is as
free from everything deleterious to
health rs ever. Postmaster Carlin OF
this city sent a sample of it to a friend
in the Agricultural Department in
Washington day or two ago
for analysis, and last night he
he received report to the effect that
while microbes were found, there was
nothing manifested indicative of ty-
phoid fever germs. Another sample
was sent to the Marine Hospital and a
telephone message received at this Of
fee at noon to-day says the report will
reach here in a few days. The officials
in the hospital treat the matter as one
of trivial nature, and have no idea
that anything calculated to produce ty-
phoid fever will be found. Several of
the physicians in Alexandria say the
appearance of microbes in the water is
but natural in times of drought, and
that they afford nothing to occasion
alarm. They further say that most of
the fevers reported are of mslarial
species and are not typhoid. Mayor
Simpson, as will be seen by his procla-
nation, advises people to boil the wa
ter Def r, using it, he believing this to
be the best way to avoid all risk from
its use.
DR.. Miller went to Washington yes
terday evening with MIR. Wheat, pres
ident of the water company. and Post.
master Carlin to see the Surgeon Gen.
eral about having an analysis of water
made. The Surgeon General agreed
to send DR.. Sprague here to-day or to-
morrow to get samples of the hydrant
and reservoir water and make an anal
ysis of both. 1t will take several days
to make these analyses.
DR.. Miller took with him sample of
the water and it is understood that q
hasty examination disclosed some i'm
purities, but it is not said that any ty-
phoid germs were discovered.

HOW THE GOLD is WORKED OUT.
scenes nnd Conditions nj the KIon-
dixie DiEainGs.

An interesting letter telling Of the
AlDska has been written by Capt. j. T..
higgins, Of the steamer, to a friend in
San Diego. He says:
"The word klondike means deer river.
and il called Reindeer river ON the
charts. 1t cmptics into the Yukon 80
miles above the big river. Bonanza
creek dumps into Klondike about two
miles above the Yukon. Eldorado Is II
tributary Of the bonanza. There are
numerous other creeks and tributaries,
the main river being 800 miles long.
The gold so far has been taken from
bonanza and Eldorado, both well
named, for the richness Of the placcrs
is truly marvellous. Eldorado, 30 miles
long, is staked the whole length, and AS
far as worked has paid. As ench claim
il 800 feet long along the creek bed,
there are 100000 feet to the claim, So
Uniform has the output been that one
miner who has an interest In three
claims told me that IL offered his choice
he would toss up TO decide, One OF our
passengers, who is fading $1,000 with
him, has worked 100 feet OF his ground
and refused 100000 for the remainder,
and confidently expects to clear up
s4OO,0 600 and more. He has in a bottle
$212 from one pan Of dirt. His pay
dirt while being washed averaged $3.50
M, ba,,r D.. na,.b ,u ., hntaItnDtn Gtyp
others Of our miners who worked their
own claims cleared up $4,000 from the
days washing. There is about - feet
OF dirt above bedrock, the pay streak
averaging from four to six feet, which
~ tunnelcd out while the ground "
frozen. OF course the ground taken out
Is thawed by building fires, and when
the tbaw comes and water rushes in
they set their ~sluiccs and wash the
iirt. Two Of our fellows thought a
small bird in the hand worth a large
AZ one in the bush and sold their claims
for $4,000, getting $4,000 down, the re-
mainder TO be paid in monthly install
mcnts of $4,000 each. The purchasers
had no more than $1,000 paid. They
sere 20 days thawing and getting out
dirt. Then there was no water to sluice
With, but one fellow made q rocker and
IN ten days TOOK out $4,000 for the first
installment. So, tunneling and rock
.ng, they took out $4,000 before there
was water to sluice with.
"Of course these things read like
The story Of Aladdin, but fiction is not
n IL with facts at Klondike. The
ground located and prepared can BE-
worked out in a few years. but there
= still an immeDse" territory untouched.
and the laboring man who can get there
with one years provisions will have n
better chance to make a stake than in
my other part Of the world."-San
Diego (Cal.) Times.
