GOLD STRIKE IN ALASKA.
Pans Out $40 to $40 Day For Each
Man.

Victoria, B. c., Aug. 31.-The steamer
Horsa brings the report from Alaska
of gold strike on the Hootalinga river.
D. D. Lawney Of San Francisco, who
came out to Fort Wrangel just before
the Horsa sailed, says the strike ran
from $40 to $40 a day to each man.
Bedrock had not yet been reached.
r. H. Hall, manager of the Hudson
Bay company, corroborated Mr.. Law
ney'S statement. Hundreds of people
have built narrow gauge carts, on
which they put 1000 pounds of pro-
visions, and, hitching their carts to
horses, cattle or mules, they are head
ing for the new Eldorado. More finds
are also reported from the Stikine.
William Reed of Chicago, owner of
the discovery claim of the placer find
made on the river, has returned to
Wrangel. He says his claims are worth
from Sc to So a day to the man.
From the Atlin gold fields news
comes that Fritz Miller cleaned up in
four days $500. He is taking out $25
to $45 a day a man. The townsite is
already beginning to resemble Skag-
uay.

BACK FROM THE EAGLE.
a Bonanza Proposition Up In Eastern
Oregon.

O4CEO41s
Messrs. George and Scott Crismon
have returned from eastern Oregon,
where they have been for some time
past directing work in the development
of the Eagle mine, not far from Baker
City.
In speaking OF the mine, Mr.. George
Crismon states that it is looking well,
with a good showing Of ore uncovered
that will carry values of from SIS to
$50 in gold, silver and lead, gold pre-
dominating; and Mr.. Cr1Smon states
that it was the intention to have made
test run on at least 200 tons of this
class of mineral at the California mill,
not far distant from the mine, but that
the mill had been closed down on an
attachment before the ore could be
hauled to the works in consequence of
which nothing will he done in this line
until next spring, although develop
ment of the property will be steadily
prosecuted.
In referring to the La Bellevue mine
and mill, about four miles from the
Eagle, in which J. E. Bamberger and
Hon. David Keith are heavily inter
ested Mr.. Crismon said that it was
understood that the new concentrating
works on this property were giving ex-
cellent satisfaction, and that a high
recovery of values was being recorded.
Mr.. Crismon also stated that he had
seen notice in coast mining paper
that the Goldstone, at one time held
under bond by Salt Lake people, had
been sold to Montana mining men for
$751;
In speaking of the Eagle and its mer-
its, the Democrat, of Baker City, says:
One of the best mine showings in the
Gable Cove district is that Of the Eagle
group of mines, consisting of u claims,
and owned by Hon. John c. Young and
the Crismons of Salt Lake City. From
persons who are in position to know
what they are talking about, the DEM
ocrat learns that in the Imperial claim
along the entire length of a 5O0-foot
tunnel there is ledge from three and
one-half to four feet wide that gives an
average return of 81 to the ton.
Much of the ore is marketable and is
being shipped, giving returns of $50 to
the ton.
On the Eagle group there is fully
5000 feet of development work done,
and all in such a practicable manner
that the best results are obtained.
Ii is understood that a price of $780,
600 has been placed on the group and
the owners are not running after a
buyer even at that big figure.
Mr.. Young has spent many years de-
veloping his mines, and it seems now
that he is to be rewarded handsomely
for. his energy, pluck and industry.
