the Klopdike excursion was another
piano scheme
Two hundred passengers at $500 apiece
Is evidently $50. 600.
The price Of tine steamer at $50. 600, to-
gether with all other expenses, would
thus seem to insure a good profit on the
investment, and besides the promoters
would have the steamer which tney might
sell for as much as they paid for it or
keep IL i'm the service for other klondike
parties at good profit. Evidently the
enterprise offered a good chance for capi-
tai to invest itself.

what local capitalists are In the eDterprlssY
But that IL mystery 30 far as actual
knowledge Is concerned, Assuming that
the steamer was not to be paid for out Of

body unknown must be stalking this $50,

planned, the STAGE would. of course, be

Terrible Slaughter.

Dan. Logan, one of the oldest
cricket players on the islands, met
with painful accident yesterday.
In guarding a wicket he was
struck on the ear by very swift
ball. DIR. Peterson thinks that no
bones were broken. The man at
wicket just before-Mr. Harvey, a
fine bowler himself-was put in a
dazed condition for a minute and
half with a clout in the back of
the head. Logan wss not knocked
out" as contemporary states, but
stayed by his wicket till the bales
came off, although his brains were
oozing out of his lug" DR.. Muir
ray got smack Of the ball on the
mouth, which makes him pout
terribly today. 1t seems there is
bowler in town, six foot six in
his socks and three feet across the
shoulders, who has been in the
Caroline Islands the past two
years and there gained some
pointers from the heavy gun prac-
tise OF the Spanlards. He caught
on to the speed of bombshells and
unfortunately also acquired the
Spanish skill in aiming. The re.
suit is that the ball he delivers at
wicket usually impinges on the
head of the batter. DR.. Murray,
however, says the ground is what
is wrong and not the wild man
from the Carolines.
