was idly turning over the papers IN

OF the fact by walking down the street

at Somerset House.
And there, sure enough, he found the

DUST FROM DAWSON.
Another Arrival of Fortunate Min
ers From Alaska.

efS FROM AlaSkQ.
SEATTLE, Wash, July 30-The
steamer City Of Seattle arrived this af-
ternoon with forty-three passengers
from Dawson, who came out by way of
the Yukon and Lake Bennett. The
amount Of gold brought out is esti-
mated at 100000. A similar amount Is
reported in drafts. The largest indi-
vidual holder Of dust was George
Burke, formerly of Butte, Mont. He
had about $4,000 worth and a draft
for S150,0OO, representing the amount
for which he sold his claim on French
gulch to an English syndicate Another
wealthy man was George Demars. of
Eastern Canada, who owns claim No.
8, on Eldorado creek. 1t Is estimated
the amount brought by Demars is not
large, but before he left Dawson he
deposited half million dollars worth
Of dust in a Dawson bank. 1t was his
clean up.
Today's arrivals left Dawson July II.
Hot weather was reported as prevail
ing, the thermometer going as high as
ITO degrees. There was considera BILE
sickness, dysentery and malaria pre-
Vailing.
The steamers J. j. Healy and Gov.
Stone departed down the river for st.
Michaels with about 100 passengers and
a quarter of a million dollars worth Of
gold. It was stated they were meeting
with considerable trouble on account
Of the low stage Of water.
The steamer Kalamazoo, which was
wrecked on the upper Yukon, has been
repaired and has reached Dawson.
