LOCAL AFFAIRS.
At st Roses Picnic.
A LARGE GATHERING.-soMEG GOOD BALL
PLAYING.

PLAYING.
Despite the boiling weather of Monday
afternoon quite a party gathered at the
Fair grounds at st Roses picnic to wit
ness the ball game between the Sandy
Hook bows and st Peters Y. NJ. c. A.
team of Danbury. Everybody expected
that the home boys would pull out 8
victory and they were not disappointed
for they did excellent team work and
few errors could be charged to their &C
count. The Danbury team also did some
very clever work at times but at some
other times errors piled up thick and
while they were all chasing the ball the
Sandy Hook boys would be chasing
around the bases in lively manner.
Bishop pitched fer the home team and
did come very clever work. He also
raised the stick with great effect when
he faced the pitcher. Haugh caught
good game and held Bishops fast pitch.
ing, supporting him in fine style.
Burns at first base made several clever
plays and the Burns Brothers did come
good wagging OF the stick. The fielders
for the home team did not have many
chances, but accepted nearly all that
came their way. Every member of the
team got good one, two or three bagger
to his credit before the game was finish
ed. TIE Danbury team, fortunately for
them, changed pitchers about half way
through the game. The home team
were finding their first pitcher pretty
often, bnt the second man kept better
control of the batters. Martin Troy
started in to umpire the game, but Dan
bury wasn't salts fed sc young man
from Danbury was selected and two
umpires kept harmony most of the time.
1t was pretty orderly game for base
ball, there was only one serious kick and
that didn't last long. Following is the
make up of the teams snd the score:

There was quite a party over from

rooted Loyalty for their team. Newtown
also was not slow in showing apprecia-
tion Of the good work of both sides.
Following the ball game Fred Shepard,
viii McDermobt and Ed Orgleman ran a
half mile on their bicycles. Shepard
won hands down. The refreshment
stand was well pstronized during the
afternoon and evening. Some minstrels
entertained the audience with a few
selections. Bliss orchestra was engaged

NEARLY TWENTY MILLIONS.
Estimate of Dawson's Cleanup For
the Season.

Victoria, B. c., July 16.-Editor Shipy,
of the Skaguay News. who came down
On the Cottage City, says that this
years cleanup at Dawson will be a
trifle less less than S20,OO0,OO0, three
quarters of this being in the custody
of the two big trading companies. who
will send it down by way of St Mich
ael. The May West had $750,000 and
more. and the other boats, which left
June Is and July 4, carry the balance
of the output
The Butler Bros. formerly of Mime
apolis, say that the North American
Trading and Transportation company
has sent s., eco 00G down the river by the
steamer Weare, this being more than
the Alaska Commercial company will
forward by any single steamer, and
possibly the largest individual gold
Shipment of the season.
The Dawson newspapers do not ap-
proXimate the down-river shipments
so highly, the Midnight Sun stating
that the Weare, Bella and Charles H.
Hamilton do not carry to exceed S4,-
coo. o0O
There is no longer any fear of a
famine in Dawson. All the men who
arrived on the Cottage City are en-
thusiastic over the outlook in the
Klondike country. Wages keep up to
SO or SIS day. but there viii be very
little work at mining until the frost
sets in. There are said to be about
20, COO people around Dawson alone at
present. and the river all the way up
is crowded with newcomers.

Seattle, Wash, July 16.-Seventeen
miners who left Dawson City June %,
arrived here today on the steamer City
of Seattle, bringing with them gold
dust and drafts estimated at $500. 900.
OF this amount $1SO,O0O was in dust.
The largest individual amount of
dust was brought by E. NJ. Sullivan of
Los Angeles. who Is credited with $780,
coo. The largest individual amount of
dust and drafts was carried by Z.
Levin of Seattle, whose sack is esti-
mated at $100,0 The other individ-
ual amounts range ali the way from
$1,000 TO $4,000. There were a few who
had barely enough TO reach home.
The klondike Nugget, the first news
paper published at Dawson, under date
of June Is. says: Washing up is still
in progress, and probably will not be
completed until the latter part of July,
owing to a scarcity of water. Opinions
as TO the amount of the total yield diff
fer. Estimates run all the way from
Sl5.O00,O0O TO s20,000,000 The most con-
servative place it below the former
sum.
Many men who worked on lays did
not make wages and some even did not
make expenses.
ON June 10 a nugget worth $3.50 was
picked up on No. ~. Eldorado The
Lippy claim, No. Is, Eldorado creek.
viii, it is estimated, clean up from one
third to one-half a million. The prin-
cipal claims that are being worked on
Bonanza creek are from AZ above to 60
below discovery On Eldorado not
many above 45 were worked
No. s, EldoradO, owned by Charles
Lamb, has been sold for $3.50. 900. One
man on Sulphur creek cleaned up 81. 500
after two days sluicing r. D. Rhodes
claim on No. q, above Bonanza, yielded
245 ounces i'll a single cleanup. Many
claims on EldOrado and Bonanza will
yield 100000 or more"
The most remarkable strike this sea-
son was made on French gulch. a
small tributary of FL Dorado. Paw dirt
was found on bench claims at an ele-
walton of 700 feet above the bed of Ell
Dorado. In one day 81, 900 was PANIED
out
The Canadian government has al
ready collected royalty of about ST.
100000 this year
Theodore HabernaI said: Three boats
left Dawson for st. Michael just before
| left. and one was scheduled to leave
on June 30. The boats were the P. B.
Weare. which left on the 22nd of June.
the Hamilton. which left on the oath.
and the Bella on the 26th.
The Seattle No. 1 was scheduled to
leave on the 30th of June About 1000
people left on the four boats. They will
bring out somewhere in the neighbor- |
hood of from seven to ten millions Of |
dollars, and possibly more.
The Klondike has turned out fully |
as well as was expected by the old /
miners, although there has been some |
disappointment in the cleanup on !
some of the principal creeks.
