stream emptying into Atlin lake, feeder
of Lake Tagish. The discovery is located
in the Northwest territory, Canada.
The news of the discovery has caused a
great stampede from Juneau and other
southeastern Alaska points. and IL is esii-
mated that at least one thousand prospect
ors have started for the locality. The finl
was made two years ago by George Miller
of Juneau. about the time the Klondiks
find was made. Miller allowed his discov-
cry to remain dormant and went to tho
Klondif<e. Last June he returned and. taxi
ing few friends into his confidence. re-
visited the place and staked out claims.
Walker Carter, who has just returned
from the diggings, says:
Il saw four men shovel in twenty-six
ounces in two days, one pan from bedrock
containing 81. This was on Discovery
claim. Pine creek is about fifteen miles
long and will average seventy-iive feet in
width. The current is very. rapid. The dig
gings are what are known as bar dggings'
or summer placer. Discovery claim is about
eight miles from the mouth OF the creek.
The bedrock is only five feet from the sur
face and is of a slate formation. Miller
has five men at work shcveling into the
sluice boxes and he pays them each s12 a
day, settling every night with dust taken
from the boxes.
THE men are taking out $50 a day to the
man. The gravel shows from twenty to
one hundred and fifty coIors. Captain
Strickland of the Canadian mounted po-
lice and several other men are already on
the ground and have staked claims for
themselves and reserved the government
claims. When left thirty-three claims had
been located and the balance of the creek
is reserved by the Canadian government.

a large number of prospectors going in.a

the spot which they had heard Of but
whose location they did not know
The news has caused great excitement in
Juneau, and every boat leaving there is
crowded with prospectors. The gold brought
in from the new diggings is like that from

On a sprint in the last lap Edward Nc

and was won by the American boat on a

TO PLAY SUNDAY BALL.
The New York Club VIII Take Part
in Games at Weehawken, N. j.

The New York Club VIII Take Part
in Games at Weehawken, N. j.
A special from New York says that it
now seems to be settled that New York is
to play Sunday bail at Weehawken. An
cffer was made to Washington Saturday to
have the postponed game between the two
clubs decided on the grounds at Wee
hawken, N. j., in September, and it is
derstood that overtures have been made
to several other clubs. notably to Cleveland
and Brooklyn. 1t is likely that the latter
two will gladly accept the offer.
The Sunday ball question was agitated
last spring, and for a time it was believed
that one of the bills providing for it would
be passed by the legislature at Albany.
President Freedman was eager for it, and
Tammany was with him, but the desired
legislation was not enacted. Failing to
make arrangements for Sunday games at
home, the management had the Giants
scheduled to play en- Sunday in the west,
something that had never been done before.
Why New York should endeavor to have
Sunday ball in the vicinity. of New York so
late in the season may puzzle the general
public, but the cranks and fans understand
IT. The games at the Polo grounds have
been very lightly attended and the treas
urys vaults are not bulgng with 1898
Profits. Therefore, Sunday games, which
are big money-makers everywhere are TO
come to the rescue.
The Weehawken grounds are the most
accessible around New York for all lovers
of base ball, the Polo grounds and WASH
Bunnell succeeds in arranging the desired
games over there he will have plenty of
spectators in the grand stand.

is ENCOURAGING!
The Outlook As Bright As New
Silver Dollar For d Sweeping
Victory This Fall.

The friends of silver have abund-
ant reasons for encouragement to
work with renewed zeal and earn
estness.
They can be reasonably conf
dent, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
that the six and a half millions who
voted for Bryan in 1886 win be
practically unanimous in 1888 for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver. There has been no change
for the better IN the condition of
the country to indnce desertionH
from our ranks. There were mill
ions OF Republicans who were in
favor of bimetaIlism who were IN
duced to believe that silver could
bestored by international agree
ment.
They have since learned that the
Repub lican leaders were opposed
TO the continued coinage of silver
with or without the cooperation
of other governments. The argu
ment was employed as decoy to
keep their ranks from being
broken.
The indications now are that the
Republican silverites. the Populists
and the Democracy will form an
alliance and give solid vote in
favor of silver candidates, nomi-
mating those who will bring the
strongest support.
The gold Democrats are few in.
number and small in influence,
and will no doubt yc te quite solid
Iy with the Republicans.
The surrender of the Republican
party to the advocates of the gold
standard is absolute and complete.
The Secretary of the Treasury
boldly declares that the admins
traticn is intent on committing
the country more thoroughly to
the gold standard.
Now that the Republican party
has the courage TO admit that it
favors the English financial system
(gold the only coin and bank notes
the only credit money it only re-
mains for the friends of both gold
and silver to stand shoulder to
shoulder in the maintenance of the
common cause. Silver Republi-
cans, Democrats and Populists, all
who favor an exclusive government
credit money, can, if they will,
win signal victories.
