of the Western Intercollegiate Associa-
ton, which is to be held next Saturday at

Stanford University, will leave tonight
for Chicago, where he intends to compete

fair man at several other games. He Is
accounted a 10 2-5 seconds man for 100
yards, but this is not fast enough for the
company that he will meet on the cinder
path at the Windy City.

Seattle, Oct. 1.-THE steamer Citv If
Topeka has arrived here from juneau

"Hunker creek and Gold Bottom crock
it is conceded will equal if not rival the
already famous Bonanza and FL Dorado
creeks. More especially is this true Of

Mr.. Maloney saw l6-quart brass ket

Oscar Ashley and Billy Leake, will prob
ably produce 81 100000.
Ten days after the boat left for down
the river, taking the gold, the North
American Trading l. Transportation Com.
pany had a quarter of a million in its safe

gold accumulates. Mr.. Maloney says that
over $2,OO0,O0O will come out this fall.
"There are stacks and stacks of gold. ;"

it. Alex Mcdonald will produce the larg.

but the simple truth is that his various
interests will yield from 81, 900 600 to g..

staggering, but they are true. The state.
ment is made that Henry Bratnober,
