Mountain mahogany promises to create

started an interest in this wood, and lite
great value will probably be recognized in
the manufacture Of many useful articles.

pies Of the wood TO the Hamilton Manu-

exclusively from end wood which Is ex'

An Immense crowd Coming.


The New York World Of the 18th says /:
Despite the distance and the difficulty and
the cost Of getting to Carson. IL now looks
40 II the biggest crowd that ever gathered
to see . prize fight will assemble al Neva-
da's capital. The World has received 9
careful estimate from the largest cities in
the United States as to the numbers that
will leave each city. They show that 1896
persons will probably 90 to the fight. This
does not include the detached groups that
will go from smaller cities nor the crowd
hat will pour into Carson from the small
towns OF Nevada and from the mining
camps Of the adjoining States. This crowd
represents an expenditure Of many thous-
ands Of dollars. For example, the 200 from
New York city will expend at the lowest
possible estimate $275 each, or q total Of
s., 900. In addition 10 this the 211 who
will go from Baltimore. Boston, Buffalo.
Philadelphia, Newark and Washington will
be under the same expense as the New
Workers, and will spend $8025. A slight
idea OF the money that will be spent on this
fight can be formed by putting the crowd
at 10000, which is = low estimate, and
making the average expenditure $50. At
these figures $500, 900 will be expended.

San Franciscans who intend to see the
fight at Carson next month should note
the fact that il Is TO be an open-air per.
formance, and prepare TO attire and other
wise equip themselves accordingly. The
inner field of the Carson race track,
which is situated in about as bleak and
God-forsaken landscape as any on the
continent. within 800 miles OF civilization,
will be inclosed with o 28-foot fence oil
wood and canvas, and that again with
bar bed wire trocha. But II will not be
rooted.
The rule in Virginia City is snow on
st. Pstrick's day. but as Virginia is about
/ 200 feet nearer heaven than Carson will
ever be, the latter has usually got through
with its snow for the season by March
18th. Nevertheless il is bitter cold, with
sometimes q zephyr that rattles coal-oil
cans and drygoods boxes along the streets
and sweeps over Nevada's Capital in Q
way that drives even the hardest pionee,
to cover.
We see that Mr.. Fitzsimmons says hs
may cut the fight to two rounds. Should
q March zephyr play around Carson's rscs
track OF the eventful day. Mr.. Fitzsim-
mons will try to get through with his en-
gagement in one round. and the spects
tors will be delighted should he succeed
In doing so.-Ssn Francisco Report.

that the Law reads that ''sny exhibition OF

WOMEN TO KLONDIKE.
Party of New York Women Going in

New York, Oct. 15.-Mrs. Hannah F.
Gould, a widow, is making prepara-
lions to go to the KIondi1e as prime
mover financfer and generalissimo of
a party of at least so persons. princi-
pally women. Several capitalists of
this city and Philadelphia have agreed
to furnish the money for the eXpedi-
ton.
The party thus far consists of p, be
sides Mrs. Gould and her unmarried
daughter. OF these II are women, but
before December 1 next, when the
steamship City of Columbia will sail
from this port, the party Will consist
Of at least 30.
Mrs Gould is remarkably handsome
and well preserved. She has already
made and lost two fortunes, and goes
to the KIOndike primarily to make an
other. Besides that her party will do
missionary work among the miners.
Mrs Gould lives at $50 West Twenty
second street, and for some weeks past
she has been busy selecting recruits for
her party.
includes the Rev. DR.. Wellman, an
EpiscOpalian, who will look after our
spiritual wants and help US in raising
the standard of life among the miners;
a physician from Connecticut, an as
sayer for our own party, two cooks, one
a man; a frst-class boarding house
keeper and a dressmaker.
Besides these our party includes
complete hospital corps of three train
ed nurses. One of them has been edu-
Gated as d missionary, and she will
continue to act in the dual capacity of
nurse and missionary among the Mag
dalens at Dawson City.
"Our hospital department viii in
clude everything from stretchers and
medicines down to bandag es, lint and
surgical implements. It will be fully
equipped, and if we find no use for a
hospital we Will convert it into a board
ing house. This latter requisite is par
amount in my opinion.
What is the age Iimit?Over so is too
old for safety, and 1 warn all those to
remain at home. Neither do [ want
any women under Il years. Neither
will I take a woman who has a mar
riage in view To such I say there is
degradation enough there already.
THE condition imposed upon every
one of our party is that the capitalists
will back them if need be until they
find and stake a paying claim; then one
half of the proceeds must revert to me
as custodian of the capital 1t will
cost each one of our party $500 from
the time they leave here until they are
settled in Dawson City.
shall I take any firearms? Oh. yes!
I have my guns already packed and I
know how to use them. I have in
structed the women to take only one
long dress for state occasions. The
rest of our wardrobe will consist of
brown corduroy boomers. close fitting.
a warm, Ioose-fitting Jacket and plenty
of thick and warm Undertaking.
