MORE GOLD.

Anvik. Alaska. August 2S.(-Via Seattle,
September l4)-The steamer Bella, of the
Alaska Commercial Company passed the
steamer Hamilton this afternoon. There
are 30 passengers on the Bella, 20 miners
returning with their stakes, said to ag-
gregate S5OOOOO, and the remainder are
prospectors fleeing from the shadow OF
famine to come.
Louis Sloss Jr., of the Alaska CONNER
cal Combpany, who was on board, con-
firmed all the reports shltherto given of
the shortage Of food supplies.
I'VE have been compelled to adopt
measures" said he, ito prevent single
individuals from cornering the food sup
plies. For this reason we have limited
the quantity of grub to be sold to each
person One sack of -four each week is
all that any man is allowed to purchase,
We closed our store for a time after
the Bella arrived, declining to sell to
anyone until we found out what we had
in stock and how far it would go toward
l;ing the orders we had already
We will not sell supplies to either hotels
or restaurants, and. as far as possible, to
miners only"

GREAT RICHES.

Seattle. September lI.-Hope for those

on the steamer Humboldt, after having
spent five years in the Yukon. He does
not believe there will be any deaths from
starvation. though he agrees that food
will be scarce. Lack OF shelter. he con-
siders even more important, as a condition

As to the mining outlook, he declares
that $25. .coO0cO will be taken out this win

Eldorado creeks. while from Birch. Miller

Klondike." he said. The fact that the
company stores AT Dawson have been
closed has not such an awful Significance
as might at first thought be imagined.
They were shut up with the idea of
checkmating the spectators who would
attempt to make fortune of .he sale
OF provisions at fabulous prices. A man
would go into the store and buy $4,000
worth OF grub. When hunger began to
make the miners desperate and the stores
had nothing left to sell. the speculator
could have things his own way. 1t is
not proposed to allow this. The miners
have determined that any man selling
food must do so at the company prices.
These are fixed and will not he allowed
to so higher. Where so many people
are together and can interchange, food
goes long way. An outfit that would
last one man a year can be made to hold
out eighteen months by iuiicious trad
ing. Do not understand that l am ad-
vising anyone to go there this winter.
| am simply stating these .acts to en-
courage those who have friends in the
north. The lack of shelter will, in my
opinion, be responsible for more suffering
in Klondike than will famine"

an outline OF his opinion on the matter
and may ask for suggestions from his
associates
The condition OF aftlirs In the Klondike
and danger OF persons who have started
for the gold fields without an adequate
supply OF provisions are matters about
which the members of the administra-
ton have a great deal OF anxiety, and
there will be possibility OF afrordinc
relief to those persons Assistant secre-
tary OF the Treasury Vanderlip said that
he and the secretary had given 1t much
consideration, but he was at a loss to see
what could be done. The administration
has no money at its disposal that can
be legally expended on a relief expedition

try In Alaska are such that it would be
impossible to do anything II there was
plenty of money to draw on.

San Francisco. September H-An impor-
ant question Of Law has now arisen in the
Craven case. The jury was merely
advisory and the Judge was not to be
bound by its decision Now that It has
failed TO agree and been discharged, the
preponderance OF opinion seems to be
that the judge can order a new trial or
give Judgment himself, unaided in his
own discretion.
It is just possible that the judge may
render a decision TO-DAY. No one can
gain any hint Of his position from the
charge. which was as colorless as such a
document well could be. Pressure will
be brought to bear by Attorney Delmas
in favor OF a new trial before jury.

THE FLORENCE MILL.
A Cyanide Plant Installed and in
Operation in Skull valley

From all indications it will not be
long now before cyanide mills will be
in operation in nearly every camp in
the west, as the treatment of low
grade gold and silver ores by this
process is beginning to develop into
a great industry throughout the west.
0Iercur took the lead in the utiliza-
ton of this process and the mills OF
the camp are working in a most salts
factory manner. Bingham was the
next TO install a plant uSins this pro
cess ard now from every point Of the
compass cyanides are moving into the
market, and the end is not yet.
two years aSo there was considerable
talk regarding the low grade gold ore
deposits in Skull valley, in T0oele
county, the Croton property being the
leading mine OF the camp. Since then,
how ever, but little has been heard con-
corning this district and what has
been going on there, but The Herald is
Informed that sometime ago the Flor
corporated for the purpose of working
the Croton mine. and that in the
operation of the property magnificent
bodies have been uncovered and to
such an extent that the company felt
justified in the erection of a small mill
which has been done. the plant having
a capacity OF treating % tons Of ore
daily,
In the construction of the mill the
company purchased the old crusher
once used by the Geyser company, at
Mercur, and the tanks we're made in
this city.
The company Is now making its in
itial run, the tanks having been filled
for the first time on the 18th of Sep
tember lsst, and it is expected that
the cleanup Will be made within about
ten days, when the results of the test
run viii be fully known, and it is be-
lieVed that it Viii be most satisfactory
as it has been shown by exhaustive ex-
periment6 that the ore yields readily to
the cyanide process.
With the success of the Florence nil
it is more than likely that other re-
duction works on the same plan viii
be established in the district and more.
now that it is being demonstrated that
small mills can be run successfully on
low grade ores. there is no reason why
poor men. the owners of small prop
critics, should not erect little plants on
their properties, even if they are not
able 70 treat more than FIVE or ten
tons Of ore daily.
