The Lost Rocker.

All those of our citizens who believe
in dreams are busy with their dream
books, for it transpires that one of our
citizens has dreamed dream, in fact,
he dreamed the same dream on three
consecutive nights, The citizen is no
other than Tom Case and he dreamed
he had found the great Lost Rocker
Claim" The dream impressed itself
on him to such an extent that he was
finally compelled to yield to it, and ac-
cordingly he stocked up boat and
started out after the great lost
mine. His friends are waiting his re-
turn with feverish Impotence, and the
question heard on all sides is II won-
der if dreams come true?"

Trouble In CalnI

News reaches Wrangel of the dis
missal, by Special Deputy, w. =. Nc
Bride, of Commander |. Nj. Hofstadt
and Captain Pande, of the customs
launch Cosmos. 1t appears that a
short time ago, at juneau, the Cosmos
captured fifteen kegs of whisky and
took il to Sitka. Here the trouble be-
gins. The story of Special Deputy Me-
Bride is that only twelve kegs were re-
ported and turned over to the Depart
ment while Commander Hofstadt
claims the entire fifteen kegs were
promptly turned over at Sitka and that
later, after the Cosmos had made II trip
to Wrangel and returned to Sitka,
some malicious person boarded the
launch during his absence and stored
two kegs of whisky in the cooks lock-
err. In any event the Cosmos seized
the whisky at Juneau and proceeded
with it to Sitka, after which she made
a trip to Wrangel, and on again return
ing to Sitka, was boarded by Special
Deputy Mcbride, and two kegs of
whisky found. Commander Hofstadt
has filed charges in Washington against
those whom he considers guilty of base
trickery.

considering these figures, it must be
remembered that August is a dull
month and that the usual business will
run much in excess of the above.

Whisky Seizure.

The steamer Farallon. Capt. Rob-
erts. made quiet sneak out of Seattle.
Sept. lst, on her regular run to Alaska
ports. So quiet and peculiar indeed
was her departure that the customs of,
ficers became suspicious and wired the
officials at Port Townsend to search
thoroughly.
On arriving at Port Townsend. Capt,
Roberts was about to clear in the reg
ular manner when four customs officers
boarded the boat. They insisted on
thoroughly examining the ship. Down
into the forward hold they went and
overturned tons of cargo. All night
the work went on. The bottom of the
hold was covered with hay and then
the cause of the Farallon S quiet depart
ure was discovered.
Case after case of good, old whisky,
shipped North by local wholesalers,
for Alaska parties was discovered
among the hay. Seven cases of whisky
were promptly oontiscated. The search
lasted all night.

The CaSSiar Central.

Edward D. Self, General Manager of
the Cassiar Central Ry.. was in Wran-
gel for few days this week, on his way
to Victoria. To representative of
the JOURNAL Mr.. Self stated that his
company has a great many prospecting
parties working near Dease Lake and
in the country between Dease and Tes-
lin, many of whom are sending in very
tiattering reports regarding the coun-
try. 1t is the purpose of the Cassiar
Central Ry. to build line from Glen
ora to Dease Lake in the spring, and
surveys are now being made for a con-
tinuation of the road from Dease to
Teslin, making a through route to Tes-
lin via Dease Lake. The country be-
tween Dease and Teslin is found to be
remarkably level and free from under
brush, making the project very possi-
BILE. No doubt exists but what the
country to be traversed by the Cassiar
Central is remarkably rich in mineral,
both placer and quartz, and the pro-
moters of the scheme expect large re-
turns from their investment Asked
regarding the trail, Mr.Sel stated that
the trails to Dease and Teslin were
never in as good condition as now.
Wagons narrowed down to Il four foot
gauge were going over the trail daily,
carrying as high as 1900 lbs. of freight
and making quick time. Horses are
selling very low at Glenora and it be-
yet to be the poor mans route" in
fact us well as in name.

INCREASED BUSINESS
Vo|umn Of Trade q Percent
Greater Than Laa Year,
NEARLY ALL BRANCHES FEEL
PROSPERITY.
A Healthy I1crease Oyer the Best
OF Previous Years-No Unfav.
orable Change In the
Crop Prospects.

New York, August 26.-R. G. Dun
& Co.'S review of trade says: A war
which brought no shrinksge of business
while it lasted has brought with its
ending quite remarkable expansion.
Orders and purchases have increased
in nearly all branches.
The volumn of business reflected in
exchanges at the principal clearing
houses is 20.4 percent larger than last
year, and 1858 percent larger than in
1892, heretofore the year of largest
business and highest prosperity ever
known.
Part of this increate was due to spec
ulation at New York, but there remains
Il healthy increase over the best of pre-
vious years, and though in some
branches business IS not satisfactory in
character.
No unfavorable change appears in the
prospects of the crops, upon which the
ponds, nor is there present Or threat
ening financial disturbance. Europe
has not wearied of buying American
securities, although some spectators
are selling, nor is there shown any want
of confidence among American inves-
tors.
Comparisons as to foreign trade are
apt to mislead, because imports last
year were extraordinarily small after
the big rush to anticipate new duties.
Wheat has gone down three cents for
the week, rs if there were no foreign
demand coming. The obvious concert
of farmers to keep back wheat, the crop
being certainly very large, tends to en-
courage II conspiracy of traders against
them, which thus far has entire con-
troll of the market.
The output of iron and steel no longer
measures the demand.
The natural result is that the Pitts
burg region is not able to compete with
the great Illinois combination recently
formed, which is getting all the bust
ness they can do, and promise to turn
out iron at less cost than any other
works in the country.
Bars, structural forms and plates are
in heavy demand, while the tin plate
producers have been compelled to adj
vance prices about ten cents box. and
sales are very heavy.
Shipments of boots and shoes have
been larger than in any previous year.
Leather has slightly yielded in some
grades, with scarcely any buying
ahead.
Failures for the week were 179 in the
United States, against 223 last year,
and 26 in Canada, against "a last year.

Suicide at Telegraph Creek

r. l.. Stone, correspondent for the
Chicago Record, arrived in Wrangel
Tuesday, on the Monte Cristo, bringing
word of the death by suicide of Card
ner r. Richardson, of Battle Creek,
Michigan, which occurred at Telegraph
Creek, on August 3lst' The suicide is
the direct result of hardships and pri-
vations due to an attempt to reach the
land of gold over the Ashcroft Trail.
Mr.. Stone made the JOURNAL a pleas
ant call and recited the facts about as
follows: The party, known as "The
Chicago Party, consisting of G. E.
Richardson, r. H. Mathews. H. w.
Jones, S. T. Shaw and r. l.. Stone, left
Ashcroft the last of April, bound for
Telegraph Creek. The journey to
Quesnelle was accomplished without
any difficulty, but after passing Cues
nellie, the trail was in poor condition
and travel was slow. They managed,
however, to push along slowly and
Hazleton was reached July 4th. From
Hazleton to Telegraph Creek the trail
was in wretched condition, made worse
by continual downpour of rain, and
after untold hardship, the party reach
ed Telegraph on August 9th, complete

experience resulted, in the case of Mr..
Richardson, in his becoming tempora-
rily insane, in which condition he no

How the explosion occurred is yet
unknown. The front of 14i4 was inn
mediately blown out, and this was fol-
lowed by the collapse OF that structure

Morris Goldberg's furniture store, and

Coming as it did at the supper hour,
it is feared the loss OF life will be
heavy. The list of injured will be
long They were taken to all the hos
pitals within u radius of mile. After
the recovery OF the four bodies the
authorities decided to postpone the
search for additional victims until this
