A DANGEROUS BUSINESS.
Buying Reindeer From the Natives of
Siberia.

San Francisco, Sept. 6.-Three mem
bers of the expedition which sailed from
this city on the schooner Volcano in
June of last year to buy reindeer for
the United States government in Siberia
have returned They are John w.
Kelley, Conrad Stem and Alfred St. Lee
ger. They landed on July II, in St.
Lawrence bay. The natives seemed
friendly and there was every prospect
of a successful mission. DR.. Sheldon
Jackson came over on the Bear and re-
manned q few days, satisfied that the
object of the expedition would be at
tanned. Then trouble began, and for a,
year Kelley was in imminent danger of
mourning the hostility of the natives
who objected to any diminution of their
stock of reindeer.
In October. 1897, an attempt was
made to shoot Stem. Then it was ru-
mored that a Russian war vessel was
coming to GUST them from their station
The men, who had procured $50 deer
and $50 fawns thought it best to leave
and took passage on a whaIer to Port
Clarence, across the straits on July 6
of this year. From that point they
made their way here, glad to have es-
capped with their lives.

SHORT LIVED.
Gold Diggings in Alaska Will Not
Last Long.

San Francisco, Sept 6.-Captain John
McGafferty, ex-collector of customs for
Alaska and a mining engineer by profess
sion, has arrived here from Dawson City.
His summing up of his experience is that
the gold placer diggings of Alaska are
short lived and that there are no true
assure veins in that territory, because the
country is too much broken up and because
the geological indications are such to
warrant the conviction that there is no
gold bearing quartz in place" Large
be found there. but they will be of the
nature of pockets. and will not last.
The most surprising opinion expressed
by him is that the diggings are on the
point of being worked out and that many
of them have barely paid expenses.
