SURPRISE FOR SPANIARDs
THEIR FIRE RETURNED BY THE
 MERCHANTMAN.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

BALTIMORE, July 7.-After an en- way from Liverpool, the Shenandoah ar- rived at Baltimore to-day. and will take on cargo of coal for San Francisco, which may be sent on to Manila. She is the largest American vessel afioat. and will take about 4S00 tons fuel from this point. It is believed that her cargo will be loaded on colliers bound for Manila from San Francisco.
 The Shenandoah has had more expe- rience with Spaniards than has fallen to the lot of most American merchantmen. While in Liverpool, Captain Murphy was cabed by Arthur Sewell & Co. of Bath, Me, owners of the Shenandoah, to insure the vessel heavily before sailing. The captain of the ship, however, placed more reliance in cannon than in insurance. He purchased in Liverpool two four-inch rifed cannon and had them placed aboard ship. He then cabled to Bath what he had done
 While the Shenandoah was rounding the southwest coast of Ireland, on June ', five days out from Liverpool, a Spanish gunboat made directly for her at the rate of about IS knots an hour. Two shots were fired at the Shenandoah, one of which fell within 100 feet of her Captain Murphy had his cannon loaded, and pro- ceeded immediately to return the fire.
 The gunboat evidently was surprised when she heard the report of the rifles, and as the wind was favorable to the sail ing vessel the pursuit was soon given I'D.

RICH STRIKE
 OF QUARTZ New Ell Dorado of the
 North. MINERS ARE RUSHING IN THOUSAND CLAIMS ALREADY
 LOCATED.
Free Milling Flake Gold Found in the Sand Along the Banks of Nine Mile
 Creek.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

JUNEAU, Alaska, July (by steam ship AlKi to Seattle, July O.-The latest strike on the other side of the divide is one of quartz. One thousand men at least have made locations on the rock of Nine-mile Creek, which pours it's waters, speckled with gold, into the lake with the prosaic name of Mud, which is few miles this side of White Horse Rapids. It is quartz of free milling gold, easy to work No ex- citement at or around Dawson has ever exceeded that occasi0ned by this dis covery.
 This is how the discovery was made: A goldseeker, in dipping his felt hat into the stream to catch water to drink, picked up quart of sand, which he, after slaking his thirst, banned out, with the result that a number of flakes Of gold as large as, but thinner than, flake gold, remained in the dip of the hat.
 The gravel bed was small, and a hunt was at Cnce begun for the origin of the gold, which was located in the quartz on the sides of the creek. Every man now going into Dawson drives stakes on Nine mile Creek on any kind of rock. Not less than 100 men, who
 
 cations, will remain on Nine-mile Creek and not proceed to Dawson.
 Some or the quartz, pounded up in a mortar, shows quantity of gold that indicates that it will run $90O to the ton The whole top of the earth is mountains and rock, and if the ledge holds out fabulous wealth is yet to be ground cut on Mud Lake
 Steamboats now carry gold seekers from Lake Bennett to Dawson in three days, returning on the up- current trip in ten days, fare down s1O0; from Daw- son to Bennett $250. There are now four steamers on the Lewis Yukon run from Lake Bennett. One small craft the Irwin, which plies between Ben nett and White Horse Rapids, is re- ported to have cleared s20000 since the opening of navigation in May. The shores of both lakes are ship yards which are yet far from deserted By these steamers by way of Dyea, Daw- son is only four days from Juneau and eight days from Puget Sound
 Gold hunters are leaving Wrangel and the Stickeen like rats deserting a sinking ship. Every steamer which comes north carries many men and outfits from Wrangel.
 Patriotism in this time of war runs high in Alaska Tons of red fire is be- ing burned tonight in Juneau, Doug las, Sitka and Wrangel. Governor Brady, who has just returned from Washington, D. C., has reported that President Mckinley does not expect any volunteers from Alaska, but he ex- pressed a wish that a national guard should be formed here.
 At once the Takon Braves, a local social organization, took up the work and a braver or better looking lot of young men would be hard to find Charles s. Rosener of California is the organizer and Tom Smith, formerly an employe of the Risdon Iron Works. is Chief Tyee. This company will to-day apply to Secretary Alger for uniforms and arms. 14AL HOFFMAN.
