A NEW GOLD STRIKE.
Rich Discovery Near Lake Tagish.
A General Stampede From
Skaguay and Juneau.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 10, via Seattle,
Wash, Aug. What is regarded as
most important discovery of rich
placer diggings is reported to have
been made on Pine creek, a small 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
it is estimated that at least 1000 pros.
pectors have started for the locality
AS reported here, the find was made
two years ago by George Miller of this
city, about the time the Klondike was
made. Miller allowed his discovery to
remain dormant and went to the Klon
dixie. Last June he returned and, tax
ing a few friends into his confidence,
revisited the place and staked out
claims.
Walker Garter, who has Just re-
turned here from the diggings, says:
81 saw four men shovel in 26 ounces
in two days, one pan from bed rock
containing "a. This was on Discover
claim. Pine creek is about 10 mile
lOuS duSt III dNGIdSc 10 leu III WlulI-
Discovery claim is about eight mile
from the mouth of the creek. The bed
rock is only five feet from the surface
and is of slate formation. Miller ha
five men at work shoveling into sluice
boxes and he pays $12 day each, set
Ting every night with dust taken from
the boxes, The men are taking out
$50 day to the man.
"When left 80 claims had been To-
Gated and the balance of the creek is
reserved by the Canadian government
When I was coming out to Juneau /
met large number of prospectors GO
ing into every bay along Tagish LAKE
trying to find the spot, which they ha,,
heard of but whose location they q !
not know"
The news has caused great excite
ment in Juneau and every boat leaving
here is crowded with prospectors. The
gold brought in from the new diggin
is like that from the Klondike, yer
coarse, but it is said to be worth 50 an
ounce more.

Newspapers And The War.

One of the leading features of the
present war is the splendid news ser
vice. Every incident of the struggle,
even the most insignificant skirmish,
is Immediately caught up and flashed
over the country, in the morning, noon
and evening editions of the daily press.
1t makes no difference that the con-
test is waged at opposite sides of the
globe and in the midst Of the cuban
jungles, the newspaper correspondent
always has kept at the front and kept
his paper and its readers fully posted
as to the events of each hour.
This was done only at enormous cost
to the newspapers, for it will be re-
membered that while the leading jour-
nails like the "Sun", "Herald" and
"World" had these correspondents in
their employ every daily paper through
out the country had to bear its share
of the cost of obtaining the news from
the front. The Boston Record, which
has been computing the cost TO the
New York dailies of gathering the
war news, places the aggregate week
ly expediture of the leading metropol-
itan dailies at 5000, 900 week, which
figure seems not whit too high in
% ha vtynr n ir,a
necessarily incurred in a literal pur
suit Of the news The World and the
Journal are each credited with spend
ing something like $50, 900 a week,
while the Herald's bill for war news
is said to be in excess of this figure.
1t is said that Walter Howard, one
of the war correspondents of New
York newspaper, who has come back
from Cuba, wrecked in health, has
brought with him an expense account
of $33, 600. As consequence of
the heavy expense incurred the Chica-
go morning papers have been raised in
price from one to two cents. Not
Withstanding this the general public
has the impression that the papers are
reaping rich harvest out of the war, and
one frequently hears this opinion ex-
pressed on the streets. The business
managers of the daily newspapers
know from experience that the re-
verse is true, and that in reality they
are among the most heavily burdened
by the war. A gratifying feature Of
the war news is the promptness and
accuracy with which it is given to the
public. Even with the government
censorship on the telegraph lines
about the seat of war, the newspaper
reports are usually II and sometimes
"A hours ahead of the official govern
ment report, and in the absence of
the official report the war and navy
departments have in many cases accept
ed the newspaper versions as correct, =
a high tribute to American Journals
ticskill and accuracy. -NeoeS Standard.

Arch OF the States.

extensive preparations are under
Roadway for the Trans M ississippi
and International Exposition, to be
held at Omaha, Nebraska, from June
to Nov, of this year. Fronting the
great entrance to the Exposition
grounds, and to remains after the
magnificent buildings now being
erected have disappeared, is the Arch
OF States, built of massive masonry
and commemorative of the union of
the States III the Trans Mississippi
region. In harmony with the idea,
an invitation has been issued by Gov
ernor Silas A. Holcomb OF Nebraska
to all of the executives of the States
named, asking them to contribute one
course OF stone from the quarries of
their respective states. The fouuda-
ton layer will be composed of Ne
braska stone of .ehduring quality
and on this the courses contributed
by the different States will be laid III
symmetrical order. The form of the
structure is that uf Il triumphal arch,
fifty feet high, twenty-five feet deep
and sixty eight feet to the top of it's
parapet. The opening in the arch is
twenty feet wide and 'thirty-five feet
high to the keystone. Strong. simple
abutments on either side assist the
arch to carry an extremely rich and
broad frieze of a double arcade of
twenty-four arches, containing shields
decorated in color with the coats of
arms of the Trans Mississippi States.
Upon the opposite side the frieze is
repeated and the coats of arms of the
remaining States of the Union are
displayed at the enos. The approx
mate cost of construction, material
and ornaments is about $4,000.

sons have them as well as the most eX-
allied, and great number Of the ver,
