CONFIRM THE REPORT
 OF THE JOHNS0N'S LOSS

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-Navigation on the Upper Yukon, between Dawson and the lakes, has closed for the season, and all the river steamers have gone into winter quarters. Thirty Klon- dikers who left Dawson on October 10 on the steamer Flora arrived to-day. They report that the Flora was the last boat to leave Dawson The Yukon was filled with running Ice, and 1t would be impossible to make another trip.
 Frank Sullivan of Mexico, Mo, re- ports a rich placer on Thistle Creek, about twenty miles above Stewart River. A number of claims had been staked out. One man is reported to have taken out sixty-nine ounces Of gold in four days. It Is about twenty five feet to bedrock. There will be quite an exodus from Dawson as soon as the river is sufficiently frozen.
 The schooner General Siglin arrived here to-day from Cooks Inlet, Alaska, with about forty miners. They confirm the report of the wreck of the sloop Johnson and the drowning of nine men. Although searchers have watched the beaches of Turnagain Arm no bodies have been recovered.
 Among the passengers was the Elm City Mining Company expedition, com posed of six men, headed by P. c. Rhodes. E. w. Smith, Walter Miller and M P. Skinner and wife, of Albany, who unsuccessfully tried to dredge gold on the Beluga River, also re- turned

PENALTY OF CARELESSNEsS
EXPLOSIVES HEATED ON AN
 IRON WHEELBARRoW.
Great Hole in the Earth Marks the Spot Where the Workmen Conducted This Opera
 ton.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Nov. Views comes from Skaguay by the steamship Farallon that two employees on the Skaguay and White Pass Railroad were killed in a peculiar manner ten days ago. They were working beyond the summit, where heavy rock work is being done, necessitating constant thawing of giant powder and dynamite. This was found to be slow process, the usual method being to dig hole in the ground and build fire in 1t. The dynamite was placed in the ground some distance from the fire, and as the ground got warm the frost was drawn out.
 Several employees finally hit upon the scheme of placing their dynamite in an iron .wheelbarrow and building a fire under 1t. This proved much quicker than the old way and was repeated sev- eral times. The experimenters gradu- ally grew careless, making the fire hot ter each time.
 One day the iron become redhot and there was great explosion, which left a big hole where the fire, wheelbarrow and dynamite had been. The men who had charge of the thawing operations were instantly killed, their bodies be- ing torn into shreds. Work was stopped on that section and the frag ments of the dead men were gathered up and buried. The names of the un- fortunates are unknown, but one is said to have been an Italian.
 The foreman of the railroad has been strongly criticised at Skaguay for al lowing dynamite to be thaWed by such a dangerous method.
 To date 25o tons of powder and dyna- mite has been used by the Skaguay

 Washington, No. 1.
 The Postoff1ce Department is about to inaugurate a most novel scheme in the way of rural delivery and collection of mail A postal wagon" has been invented and adopted by the depart ment. It is designed to travel in rural districts, starting from central point, passing through various villages en route and stopping at far1lhouses. The mail will not only be delivered and col lected. but this wagon will issue money orders and cash them as well as regis ter the letters of rustics. It is sort of postal "huckstering' wagon.
 A contract has already been made with it's inventor and promoter to serve patrons on the Maryland route for one year, and another wagon will soon be operated in Santa Clara County, in the vicinity of Campbell, which locality has always been considered by the Post office Department to be an ideal one for free rural delivery experiment. Boxes will be distributed along the route where farmers may deposit and receive mail matter.
 Postmasters of small officers on the route will be provided with money-or- der blanks, and these blanks the post masters will have the applicant fill out. He can either wait for the postal wagon or leave the blank and money with the postmaster who, upon the ar rival of the postal wagon, will hand to the clerks the blank and money, and upon receipt of the same the clerk will issue money orders.
 It will be understood among farmers that at any point on the route where the postal wagon is met by an applicant money orders will be issued or cashed, and if they have their letters already written the orders can be mailed at once on the postal wagon. The num- Der of money orders to be cashed on the route would be very small in com parison to the number of orders to be issued, owing to the fact that @ vast amount of money Is sent through the mails in ordering goods from city stores or sending off for subscriptions to' newspapers, magazines, etc. Large quantities of seeds are purchased by farmers by sending money through the mails, and thus thousands of dollars are risked by country people because they have no other facility for sending their money that Is convenient, but if they could have the conveniences of a money order system on postal wagons they would apply for money orders and this would bring in quite a revenue to the department as well as being an ac- commodation to those living in the country Letters and parcels can be. registered with the postal wagon as well. This would be an additional reve- nue, as frequently country people will not go to the trouble of visiting Post offices to register mail matter.
 Each of these wagons will be equipped with a strong box" and the carrier or driver will be provided with arms for his own defense as we'll as Uncle San's mail.

TALES OF NEW STRIKES
 IN THE YUKON REGION
BY HAL HOFFMAN.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct. 24.-Still the
 great interior of Alaska Is pouring its
 crowds over mountain summits and
 down to the coast, but few people from
 Dawson are among the last throngs.
 Most are from the lakes and tributa-
 ries this side of Fort Selkirk, where
 some prospecting has been done with indifferent success. AS usual, the story
 is that many colors and some good prospects were found, but the amount of development work possible after the locations were made produced quan- tity of gold of less "heft" than has been consonant with the ambitious Eastern idea that has come up here embodied in so many men. This idea has now changed so completely that it would not be recognized in any kind of clothes. While among "the faithful" and sensible the question of making a fortune by finding it in Alaska is as luxuriant and well rooted as Dewey in Manila, it has weakened somewhat in regard to finding it in two or three months, where spade IS thrust down or the rock fractured. The crowd of steamboat men has nearly left the river They are in numerous evi- dence in Juneau and Skaguay. Their boats are cached" on the Lewis River somewhere between Bennett and the
 mouth of the Pelly for the winter, and all expect big business next season to Dawson and Lake Atlin.
 A sensational new strike is reported near Lake Atlin, but nobody has yet been found who knows any of the par ticulars of what, where, when and how much. One story is that another lake, almost as large as Atlin, has been found beyond the swamps at the lower end of the Atlin, the two being con- nected by a steady current through the swamp The report says that encourag- ing pan prospects were found by small party which got into the section by losing its way. If this is true, 1t opens up a new country which there ts as yet no reason to believe is not as promising as Atlin is at the present time. There is plenty of room in the country indicated for a flock of lakes as big as Atlin, and the extreme south ern end of the section brings 1t very close to the coast between Juneau and Skaguay, just over the coast range, but still In British Columbia This situ- ations opens up possibility of new mountain passes to the headwaters of the Yukon, one close to Skaguay and two just north of and close to Juneau. Indians are known to go in and out over these mountains. AS matter of fact, all the passes to the interior are of original Indian discovery, subse- quently utilized and advertised by white men. No explorations have ever been made that amounted to much practical result for mountain passes to the interior.

Silver IL now preferred for table orna-
ments to anything else. Pepper boxes,
saltcellars, butter plates and sauce dishes
all are of silver.
A new idea in table decoration Is to
have a fat mirror framed in silv, placed
In the middle, on which are arranged
groups Of old Saxony statuettes, alternat-
ing with little silver vases full Of flowers,
the latter being scarcely any higher than
the figures. The statuettes are connected
by garlands Of fine foliage like smilax or
climbing fern or asparagus
Usually for the decoration OF the table
one kind of flower is adopted or one
color-pink roses or red carnations or yell
low tulips. Where yellow flowers are So
lected for any decoration to be viewed by
artificial light the yellow should be Of an
orange rather than lemon hue, as green.
ish yellows do not light up we'll. Pink
and rod are the best oolors for dinner table
ornamentation, as they are lively and ap-
pear to advantage by all lights.

expended ON table linen, in the way of en-

quite plain save for the embroidered cipher
or monogram. What Is saved in trimming,
however, goes into tho quality of the
damask, which is Of superlative flneness.
Tinted linen is, of course, only admissible
for the breakfast and luncheon table.
White crystal for the table has replaced
the colored glassware SO long used. Even
wineglasses matching the color of the
wine are no longer In the latest taste, cx-
cept In the case of Rhine wine. All other
wine Is served in colorloss glass.

have two or three tines, but the handles
are variously decorated. The spoons have

Is only interesting and effective when 1t is
genuine.
