The Fashoda yellow book issued by
the French government having left
some slight misgivings in this country
as to Lord Salisbury's firmness in deal
ing with the French ambassador, Baron
de Courcel, speedy dissipation of these
fears followed the publication of yes

coined by the London papers which this
morning express satisfaction, notably
at the view of the Egyptian regent.
which is held to nullify entirely the
French idea that England lacks the ap-
proval of the Egyptian government.
The Times says: Lord Salisbury S
version of the interview with Baron de
Courcel is decidedly calculated to re-
lieve the British mind
The Standard says: The blue book
removes apprehensions regarding Lord
Salisbury's position which IT would have
been unsafe to leave uncorrected." The
Daily News thinks the blue book con-
firms the impression left by the yellow
book. namely that France is seeking a
loophole. The Paris correspondent of

VAST FORTUNES ARE BEING DUG FROM
 DOG CREEK CLAIMS.
James Clover Writes Of the Riches Of the Kon0ike, and Predicts That S7,0OO. 000
 Will Be Brought Down in July.

POMONA, Jan. 10.-William Glover of Ontario, in this locality, has received a letter from his brother James, dated Dawson City, December ?. The letter was taken to Seattle and mailed from there. James Glover writes that he is among seventeen men who have located claims on a very small stream tribu- tary to the Klondike River that was not known until June. It is now known as Dog Creek. Glover writes that every one in the camp is making fortune; that the best pay gravel there is but eighteen feet below the surface. He says that before the cold, freezing weather came on several miners on Dog Creek were each able to wash out $200 worth of gold every day, and none got less than ten ounces a day. He says he believes that over $7000,00 will be brought down from Dawson City be- fore next July. Several men who have been mining continuously on Fl Dorado and Bonanza creeks since the first Klondike discoveries in September, 1896, are going to come down on the earliest boats on the Yukon River. These men have each about from S150,- 900 to $175,000 in nuggets and dust. Glover says that he has now two oil cans full of gold, preparatory to send ing down to San Francisco next sum- mer.

BRING NEWS OF THE DISCOVERY OF
 THE MO7HER LODE.
Returninq Kondikers Tell Of the Wonderful Finds Of the Quartz Origin Of the
 Pincers Of the New Ef Dorado.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 10.-The steamer City of Topeka, which arrived here this afternoon from Juneau, Alas ka, had among her passengers nine men who left Dawson City December 9. They were: w. J. Jones, Port Towns end, Wash; D. D. Stewart, Juneau, Alaska; A. Solder Nova Scotia; E. c. Arnold, San Francisco; w. G. Stenser, Colville, Wash; Harry Miller, Col vile, Wash; J. Cordroy, Denver, Col; George Anderson, Tacoma, and Robert Johnson, Tacoma.
 They bring news of the discovery of what is supposed to be the mother lode and quartz origin of the placers of the Klondike district. The discovery was made within twenty-four hours at four different points, one of them at the Dome, a high mountain to the east of the source of Fl Dorado Creek by Frank Slavin, the second one at No. 31 Fl Dorado by A. H. Jose and partner, the third one on Nugget Gulch at No. 16, and the fourth somewhere in the twentieS on Bonanza Creek. The trend of the vein is northwest by west, west erly from the Dome. It is found at about thirty feet below the surface and under the muck and alluvial deposit. The ledge is about eighteen inches wide ana makes uniform width. It Is gen. erously sprinkled with free gold One of the men brings down samples of the ore and every one who has seen them says the rock is precisely the same in character as found in the Comet mine at Berners Way, Southeastern Alaska. In no instance was the quartz discoy- cry made by the men who owned the placer claims, and the locators of the quartz ledge thus acquire a separate and distinct title from the locators of | the placer.
 The discovery of the ledge on No
 31 Fl Dorado was made by a man who was working the placer for the owner A shot was put in and about fifty pounds of ore blasted out The great. est excitement prevails and no man will ! listen to any suggestion to sell his claim until further development has been made. | Another Klondiker says: "The out- put of gold in the spring will be from s15,O00,O 900 to $25. .O00, ,OOO This opinion is concurred in by the transporta tion
 companies managers and Alexander Mcdonald, the richest man in the Klon- dike. Five millions of dust is now
 stored in Dawson. s3.5Oo, GOO of which would have come out this fall had the boat reached Dawson"

 locked. Nash retained his key to that
 door, and is said to be the only man other than the proprietors who had
 key This is the circumstantial evidence upon which the charge is based. Nash is still in the lookup.
