as to what complications are liable VI

Spain AZ q consequence Of the esuape;
of Senorita Cisneros from the Spanish
prison In Cuba, through the efforts OF
the New York Journals correspondent
In Havana. While the general impress
sion is that Spain might make q grea.
deal of trouble about the matter, the
opinion of many Ia that the new min
istry will be glad to get rid of priE-
oner they did not know what to d.,
with, and will not call the attention o.
this government to- the matter. This
will depend much upon whether or
not Spain Is looking for cause OF
complaint that will technically put
this government in the wrong.
As political prisoner Senorita Cis-
r1eros would be exempt from extradi-
ton, and. therefore, II extradition Is
demanded by Spain 1t will be based on
the claim that she was a prisoner Of

not be tenable. for the reason ina.
Spain does not officially admit that
state Of war exists in Cuba.
The prosecution Of Mr. Hearst and his
correspondent by this government may
be demanded by Spain. and she ma.
recall her minister from this country
IL satisfaction is not given. but snch
demand would be made with the
practical certainty that 1t would not
be complied with and would be made
only with the intention Of bringing
about severance of relations between
the two countries.
State department officials make light
Of the prospect Of any international
trouble following the escape of, Miss
Cisneros. They say that, presuming
that the girl and her rescuer have
reached the United States. they can
not be surrendered even II claimed by
the Spanish authorities.
AS far as concerns Miss Cisneros, She
being political refugee, cannot under
our organic law be surrendered, and
there Is no clause in the Spanish extra Z
dition treaty that would serve as q
basis for claim for her surrender.
The circumstances under which she
may have reached the United mates
cannot affect the force of this doctrine.

RATION.
NINETEEN years ago, Oh Thursday, April
9Th. 1878. Messrs. Crosby 81 Hill opened
their dry goods store in our city, locating
at Nos. $50 and s2s Market street, the store
now occupied by Hamburger e. Sons
They had o band of music and when the
time came to open the doors for the people
to inspect the same, Market street was
crowded half way down the square In
the rush and push Of the struggling mass
of humanity, which, by tho way, was a
good natured one. tho glass In one of tho
bulk windows vas broken into thousand
piecss. Police officers had been stationed
ut the entrance to the store, but the rush
was too great for them to handle. 1t was
the first opening of q business house in
our city and being something out of the
ordinary run, attracted the people. There
was no prize Of any kind offered as an in
ducement to get the people out and they
game In steady push from s o'clock until
sfter 10 and the firm received an advsr.
fisement that has been the means of Civ
ing them thousands of customers 10 the
present day at their new location Nos. IVA
and 607 Market street. Since thea, there
has been numerous openings by other
merchants. but Crosby and Hill wore the
pionesrs in the business in our city.

the old question of a boundary line be-
tween Alaska and the British North
west Territory,
The Klondike fields are considerably
east of Fort Cudahy and Dawson City,
and both of these are on British soil.
Into the new regions, though, Ameri-
can miners first ventured and made
the first discoveries of gold. Since
then hundreds of them have trooped
over the border, staked out their claims
in the rich hills and begun to dig.
Should the Canadian Government pass
an exclusion act all of these miners,
of course, would be dispossessed.
The difficulty of enforcing such an
act, especially on miners who have
staked out their claims, is at once ap-
parent. The result in retaliation by
the Government Of the United States
is also easily imagined. The Domin.
ion Government has already established
a custom house on the border, and is
doing a fair business collecting duty
on the goods that 60 into the new
country, and miners think they will
be satisfied with that. The exclusion
of Americans would practically close
the country for o time. for the best OF

Poor Man's Mines.

The Alaska and California gold fields
are alike also in being placer mines.
Placer mining is commonly called
s'poor mans mining" for the reason
that it is done without machinery,
while the implements required in the
work are few and of small cost. A
placer miner can get along very we'll
with q pick, shovel and gold pan. If
the dirt is not rich he a accomplish
better results by running it through a
sluice box, but where the yield is in
nuggets instead of fine gold he prefers
to ''pan" it.
The great Klondike strike was made
nine months ago, but nothing was
known of it in the United States until
June Is, when a vessel called the Ex-
%celsior arrived in San Francisco laden
with miners from the Klondike, who
in turn were laden with gold.
They told almost incredible tales of
the richness of the newly discovered
district, where fortunes had been &C
cumulated in a few months. Expert
enced miners and ''tenderfeet" seemed
to have shared good fortune alike, and
with some justice, too, for the credit
of the discovery of the new gold fields
is due to the inexperienced men.
Another vessel brought to Seattle a
second party of successful prospectors
and a ton and a half of gold. These
men had endured peril and undergone

To continue the trip, though, a boat
is necessary and by some means or
other one must be had.
After securing his boat the travel
er floats down Lake Lindeman and
Lake Bennett and then has half a mile
of portage where his boat has to be
moved on rollers. There is any
amount of rollers to be had, though,
for earlier beaters of the path have
left them. This half mile overland
brings the traveller to Lake Tagish,
through which he goes six miles and
over q quarter of a mile of portage to
Mud Lake, and on to the White Horse
Rapids. Here there is another port
age of three-quarters Of a mile, and
the traveller brings his boat to Lake
Labarge. From there on the journey
is through Thirty Mile River, the
Lewis River, $50 miles to Five Fin
ger Rapids, to the Yukon at Fort Sell
kirk, end then down stream $50 miles
to Dawson.
The cost of the trip this way can
not be definitely stated beyond Ju-
neau, because after that point it de-
ponds somewhat on the bargain made
with the Chilkoot Indians, who pack
supplies through the pass, and the
length of time the overland part Of the
Journey requires. The cost from Chi
cago to Seattle is the same as by the
other route, of course, $51. SO second
class and $40 more for first class. The
steamer fare up to Juneau and on to
Dyea is S42. What it costs on the
overland trip each traveller determines
partially for himself, but the Indians
who act as guides and pack supplies
do not work without big pay. -,
The Centre of the Gold Region.
Dawson City, the centre of the new
mining region, although sixty-fve
miles distant from the Klondike, is
said to be a typical mining camp
minus the guns. The British Govern
ment enforces its laws in Dawson, and
those laws prohibit the use of firearms,
80 few men carry guns. The laws of
the camp are enforced by mounted po-
lice, whose captain is axcivil officer.
Though there are said to be 5000 peo-
pie in Dawson, few houses have been
built, for the principal reason that
lumber is 500 per 1000 feet. The
general fear is, Of course, that there
will be great suffering there this win
