CINCINNATI, Sept. 1.-THE 32d an.
nual encampment Of the G. A. R., is a
success so far as the attendance is con.
cerned, even for these national events
which are phenomenal for crowds.
The opening day surpassed expecta.

at sunrise at Camp Sherman, the de.
pots were crowded with more arrivals.
The posts arrived in bodies and were
escorted to their quarters by local posts.
The special trains arrived faster than
they could be handled atthe terminals
in the early hours and the rush con-
tinued SO that the later trains were
stopped at Camp Sherman and other
other transportation had been provided.
There is capacity of $1,000 in the

equally lavish. The National Naval
association gave a grand parade during
the morning. After their parade the
naval veterans We're entertained on
steamboats, and they captured Coney

the regimental, brigade and other re-.

Alaska's Ca1eer Mining Country

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Captain
John McCafferty, ex-collector of GUS

by profession. has arrived here from

experience is that the gold placer dig.

that there are no 1ne assure veins in
that territory, because the country is
too mnch broken mp. and because the
geological indications are such as to
warrant the conviction that there is no

broken deposits" of gold or bonanzas
may be found there, but they will be
Of the nature of pockets and will not
last.
TIE most surprising opinion ex-
pressed by him is that the placer dig
gings are on the point OF being worked
out, and that many OF them have
barely paid expenses.
