ALASKA PLACER MINES.
Ex-Co1lector McGafferty Says They
Are Short Lived.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5.-Captain
John McGafferty. ex-Collector of Gus
toms for Alaska. and mining engineer
by profession, has arrived here from
Dawson City. His summing up of his
experience is that the gold placer dig
gings of Alaska are short-lived, and
that there are no true fissure veins in
that Territory, because the country is
too much broken up, and because the
geological indications are such as to
warrant the conviction that there is
no gold-bearing quartz lin place"
Large broken deposits of gold, or bo-
nanzas," may be found there. but they
will be of the nature of pockets, and
will not last.
The most surprising opinion ex-
pressed by him is that the present dig
gings are on the point of being worked
out. and that many of them have
barely paid expenses.

nadina to her destination. This will
shorten the journey by several weeks.

There is strong feeling of friendship
for the United States among the Chi
nese on the islands, especially among
the higher class, and they look to the
new Government to give them all the
privileges enjoyed by them under the
old regime.
The Honolulu garrison is still camped
at the racetrack and there is no pres
ent intention of moving the camp. The
strictest discipline is maintained, and
visitors are kept outside the lines.

Begin Tomorrow.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 5.-Until
the exact nature of the arsenic which
caused the death of Mrs. John P Dun

the local police, the discovery that Mrs.

The Lancet" is authority for the
statement that there has been invented
recently new variety Of false teeth
which grow into the jaw, and in the
experiments already tried both with
men and dogs, the device has attained
considerable success. The teeth are
made Of gutta-percha, porcelain, or
metal, and at their roots have holes.
Holes are also drilled upward into the
jaw and the tooth placed in the cavity.
From the patients jaw a soft granu-
lated growth makes it's way into the
holes of the TOOTH which gradually
hardens and holds the tooth in firm
position. DIR. Zamesky is the originator
of this new method, and claims that
his experiments have met with sue
cess.
