NUGGET FROM KlONDIKE.
Mf. MaIlOnee and Party on the DYea Trail
They VIII Winter There.

Mr. Mallonee aud Party on the Drea Trail
They VIII Winter There.
Mr.. w. C. Mallonee, who left here
about the first of September for Klon-
dixie, writes relatives here under date
of September q, as follows:
81 am camped in an Sx1O canvas tent
on the Dyea trail, about ten miles this
side of the summit of the divide. |
have been over both trails, Dyea and
Skaguay. The Dyea trail seems to be
the best. It is doubtful If we can cross
the summit. II we cannot, we will
cache our stuff and winter at Juneau
until about February. Every one here
has lots Of gold from Klondike, and a
man has just come In packed with 100
pounds of gold dust, going to Dyea.
We have done some little prospecting
near our camp, and found gold in sew
eral places, but not in quantities that
we are looking for. There seems to
be gold in every stream. We advise
every one desiring to come here, not
to think of doing SO until February. We
have between US 1000, pounds this is
carried over the summit in packages Of
so pounds, making five miles at time,
then returning for another load.
The travelling is in mud holes knee
deep. In sight of our camp is gla-
cier which extends thirty or forty
miles. When the sun sets clear and
shines on it the effect is simply SUBJ
lime, the grandest sight that mortal
man would want to look at. About
thirty yards from US is the famous
Chillkort river, rushing, tumbling
stream about forty yards wide and
very deep.
Juneau is a very nice little town.
Skaguay is bad looking place. 1t
would be hard to describe it, and do
the subject justice. 1t is impossible
the whole town, but the rush is I'M
mense, and property is away up in
&C." Horse feed of every kind is worth
five cents per pound. There are hun
dreds of dead horses all along the
|trail.-CharlOtte Observer.

Just noted the gray dawn breaking
IN the east and the light streak OF

when the great engine plunged into
the depths Of the river.
Neither engineer nor fireman will
ever tell the story Of that terrible
moment, for with his hand upon the

his engine 10 the river bottom. and
the fireman toe, was at his post. Be-
hind them came the express ear. the
combination car and the sleepers,
and these piled On top of the engine.
The wrecked train was known as

The train was hauled by engine No.

A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.
Talk Of the Southern bulldog . LIE
Prom keidsyiiIe to ksrpersxi.Is.

Talk Of the Southern Buiiaipg . Line
Prom KeidsyiiIs to Kernerssi,,<.
The Winston correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, under date Oct II.
says:
Talk is being revived about the South
ern building road from ReidsviIle 10
kernersville thereby putting Winston
Salem on through line.
1t has been determined by aetna!
survey that a road can be built from
Reidsyille to kernersville at q maxi
mum grade OF forty feet and q saving
OF twelve miles between Reidsville and
Winston. The maximum grade from
knoxville 10 Iooresville is fifty-ore
feet. From Mooresyille TO Gastonis a
road can be built az maximum grade
Of thirty-five feet, surveyors say.
BY filling up the gap from Reds
vile to kernersyille and then from
Mooresville to Gastonia the Southern
will have almost a straight line and a
shortened distance Of thirty fiye miles
between Washington and Atlanta The
advantages accruing from this to the
company are apparent. First, the run
between Washington and Atlanta will
be one hour shorter. Second, the re-
duced time will be big feature in
awarding the enormous Southern mail
contract. Third, 1t will, perhaps, avoid
the necessity of the company's building
double tracks from Greensboro to Char
lotte.
Among other things that indicate
the intentions of the Southern to build
this through line is the recent con-
structiOn of very costly steel bridge
acre So tn Yadkin. Then again it has
leaked out from good authority in rail-
road circles that within three years all
the through passenger and freight
trains of the Southern will ba seen
passing through Winston on their way
North and South.

Alex Gilmore the notorious negro
outlaw, whose capture we related in
last issue, was taker from Jacksonville,
Onslow county 10 fayetteville on last
Thursday in custody OF Deputy Sheriff
FL. A. Jarman and Mr.. Robert James,
of Duplin county.
They delivered him to the Cumber-
land authorities and they identified
him as the man wanted. Gilmore was
badly shot, his back being full of duck
shot. He is wanted there for burglary,
assault and battery with a deadly wea-
pom, and assault with a deadly weapon.
In one case he shot boy with the
intention of killing him, and made an
assault on white lady with a shot
gun. He is also suspected of murder,
and more than one killing may be
found against him.
While in Fayetteville Mr.. Jarman
telegraphed Governor Ellerbe, of South
Carolina, to learn if Gilmore was want
ed there as reported, and received a
telegram from the South Carolina
penitentiary authorities stating that
they had offered reward of $50 for
him and asking for his delivery in
Columbia.
1t is presumed that he is an escaped
convict from that State.
