Immediately preceding my coming away from Dawson-starting "out"-I made a tour of all the bearing creeks in the Klondike district; that is, all the creeks where something more than prospecting was being done. My purpose was to gain in advance of the clean up the best information possible as to the probable yield of gold. I wis ited every considerable dump on Fl Dorado, Bonanza, Bear, Hunker, Do- minion and Sulphur creeks, talked to the owners of the claims when they were to be found, and to the foreman, laymen and miners on every such claim. From them I got the results of their daily pannings, from which they computed the average value of the dirt. This information was sometimes freely given and sometimes reluctantly and sometimes sought by the owners to be entirely withheld. The mine or claim owners are not as d rule boast full of their possessions now, since the Canadian Government seeks to take from them 20 per cent of the output. In nearly every case, however, 1 ultimate ly secured a careful and conservative
 
 each mine, and can, with them all, sum up the probable output of the Klondille and Indian River districts based upon something more than a mere vague guess. GuesseS have been made in print ranging all the Way from five to forty millions. The thick run of vel low metal to be met with in Bonanza and Fl Dorado creeks or the light trip ping of the tongue over large figures that is a familiar part of every man s conversation in that big country makes it easy to run to exaggeration. The great part of the product of this year as it did last, will come out of eleven miles of frozen ground on Bonanza and four and a half miles more on Fl Do- rado, and when that is considered the figures that l have to present as being the reasonably certain output of the mines will have their true value in the forming of an estimate of the country its probabilities and possibilities. The output of last year-that which reused the whole world to a stampede the like of which the world had never seen before-waS one million dollars. Some few say it was two millions. Creeks that at that time were jokingly re- ferred to as frog ponds or were not known at all will this year yield double the higher amount, and the output of El Dorado and Bonanza and the other creeks in the Klondike district, exclu- sive of the Indian River district, will rise above $27000,0 900.
 The country Is a wonderland of gold. And if I did not know it I would not say 1t, for I have seen the nothing

UNJUST FREIGHT RATES.
Manufacturers Protest Against Dis crimination Between East
 and West.

The Manufacturers and Producers As sociation has decided to send to its mem bers a statement showing the unfair dis crimination of the railroads in the matter of freight rates between this city and cities of the East. The matter was taken up long time ago, but nothing was made public, on account of some of the directors fearing that the railroad men would take offense and make the conditions harder if the wrong should be presented to the public. However, a committee was set to work to compile data upon the subject, and the table produced is very interesting for the most of the community. It shows in hundred places how the manufacturer of the West is obliged to compete with his brother of the East on decidedly un- equal conditions. The jobber and manu- facturer of Chicago and New York can send products and goods to this coast all the way from 10 cents to $6 per hundred pounds cheaper. For example, the rate on agricultural implements in carload lots from San Francisco to Chicago is $3 40 a hundred pounds, while from Chicago to San Francisco the charge is g 40. Burlap bags from San Francisco to New York cost S1 50 hundred pounds in less than carload lots; from New York to San Fran cisco the cost Is only $1. Picked fish from San Francisco to New York is g 10: from New York to San Francisco it is $1. Wine to Chicago from California is g in less than carload lots, while from Chicago to California 1t is only S1 35.
 And so 1t runs through all the necessi- ties and luxurieS that are moved from place to place in the ordinary commerce of communities. In the hope of gettine, some relief and changes on these rates
 the association had one of its mem bers go to Monterey to the last conyen- ton of railroad men, but the facts and figures and the request for more justice and less rate were pigeonholed with a calmneSS that was very diScouraging to the petitioners. When this lack of action was reported to the association some of the directors expressed the fear that to give the figures to the public and show how hard the discrimination falls on all would only excite the ill-will of the rail- road people and cause the latter to make the burden even harder This Sentiment did not prevail, for the majority of the directors thought that their fellow-mem- bers should be made aware of the facts Hence, the table was prepared and yes terday over 700 copies, together with a letter of explanation from the committee were sent out. While some question the wisdom of this action 1t is safe to say that all are of the opinion that the pub licity of the discrimination will not be productive of any good, at least for some time to come. It is generally understood that if the Southern Pacific Company
 were the only line to be petitioned there would be some ground for hope but this company is only part of the great rail-
 road combine, and the Eastern roads seem to have no interest In the welfare of this State as against that of the East ern States

 FALLING l HAIR RES ST()RlE:I D

Soon after I was taken i'll my hair com menced to fall, so that each day more came out than I thought had in my head. I was turning gray rapidly. Finally became afraid to have 1t combed, but the nurse said that wouldn't do, and used vaseline to keep it in, then used beef's marrow, then quinine tonic. and finally (CUTIoURA ointment), which helped 1t immediately. The nurse said she rubbed up fine white dust from the scalp where she could see nothing before con- mencing and the scalp looked healthier and more natural every day. Now l haven't as many gray hairs as when commenced using CUTIcURA, and have crop of fine brown hair all over my head about an inch and half in length. I only lose few hairs when combing every day, and always more gray than brown. My nurse is delighted because the new hairs arc brown. l never had very luxuriant hair, even in my youth. It is as thick on my head today as it ever was, and CUTICURA did 1t. Mrs. J. M. LAWSON,

that the jury will agree on q verdict in

autly to the frierds who gathered about
him. "Well, this is the last day." he
said. ''Sunday will eat my first dir
