THE YUKON GOLD.
It In Not as Valuable the California
Metal, But 1t VIII Do.

Tk I'm Not ms Valuable as the California
Metal, But 1t Will Do.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-Assistant
Weigher Waunderhill, of the Selby
Smelling Co., states that the gold from
the Yukon is not of so much value as
that produced in California. In speak
ing of this matter he said: 1--WE have
found the miners from the Yukon a
verv nice class of people to deal with,
and they have not been deceived in the
value of the gold they have brought
back with them. It is a fact that
the Yukon gold is not as valuable as
that produced in this state. We have
found that there are from so to 100
points more base metal in the northern
product. These base metals are iron,
lead and 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
its fine rich color.
'NOf course these other metals de-
crease the value a little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth ST and SIS
per ounce, and the finer gold dust is
worth from S16 to SIT per ounce. With
the California gold the value is about
one dollar an ounce more, that is. mug
gets run from SIS to SO, and gold dust
never less than Sli per ounce.
Our assayers have found several 9th
er metals than those have mentioned,
but no attention is paid to them, as the
other base metals do not cut much of q
figure in the general value"

THE PUNITIVE EXPEDITION

LONDON, July GA dispatch from

Waziris for their treacherous attack
upon the British officials who went to
Sherrani last month to fix the site of

The telegram also says that the en-
tire garrison at Dattakhel turned out
at $50 a. N. Tuesday, expecting an at
tack by the notorious Mullah, of Pow
indah, who is at the bottom of the
trouble. The British soldiers reported
that he had collected 5000 tribesmen
about IL miles away, and was prepar-
ing to attack the British garrison.
The attack was not made, but the atti-
tude of the Mullah shows that he in
tended to fight.

There is great excitement in Law.
renee and Randolph counties over the
continued outrages committed by a
band of men known as the s'Ku-Klux."
The band first made its appearance in
Randolph county about month ago,
and its operations were confined to Q
few townships, BUTT spreading, until
now the two counties are aroused over
their outrages. Hardly a week passes
but some new outrage is committed.
A number of men and even women
have been dragged from their homes
at night and whipped in most cruel
manner by the Ku-Klux, and enc
woman has died from the effects of a
fogging administered on her bare
back.
The persons logged have in every
case been citizens with whom the Ku-
klux found some fault In one case
an old man and his wife were dragged
from their bed, tied to tree and
whipped until their bac'ls were raw
because they did not seno their daugh-
ter to school.
Near Redwood, in Lawrence county,
few nights ago, the band raided the
home of Newton Gray, a respectable
farmer, and Gray has not been seen
nor heard from since. It is believed
he is dead. A number of outrages
have been committed in the vicinity OF
Redwood in the past week and the ex-
citement in that neighborhood is in
tense.
Thirteen well-known residents of the
neighborhood were arrested, charged
with being members of the organiza'
ton, but at the examining trial ten OF
| them were dismissed, three farmers
named Bishop, Fletcher and Gates, be-

who are to be the soldiers Of the

Shortly after eight o'clock Mrs. Lo-

Annex for the Coliseum. An immense
throng had gathered to witness, in the
Coliseum gardens, the fireworks, which
were on a par with the lavish and
beautiful displays shown at intervals
during the Worlds fair. At the con-
clusion of the spectacle the crowd
turned to the Coliseum, where, for
over an hour. Mrs. Logan, Secretary
and Mrs. Alger and Sculptor st. Gau-

pressed into the building.
Quite number of people tainted in
the crush on the streets while viewing

German war office in sending 1000 car
rier pigeons to Dover with the object
of testing their capabilities of reach
ing Dusseldorf, Rhenish Prussia, about
twenty miles north of Cologne. on the
right bank of the Rhine.
The German official at Dover who
liberated the birds heard of their ar.
rival six hours afterward.
The incident led to question in the
house of commons last evening. Hon.
st. John Broderick, under secretary
for war, replying, said the matter was
under consideration, adding that Ger
many would scarcely tolerate similar
trial of British pigeons.
The comments of the press on the
subject are heated, one paper suggest

Germany should be thrown into the
sea and the German official accompany
ing them thrown after them.
One hundred of the liberated birds
belonged to the kaiser.
