Fifty Prospectors who Tried tho Cop
per River Route Return.
Seattle, June 24.--Fiity prospectors,
who left here last spring for Alaska, by
way Of Copper river, arrived here to-
day, on their way to their Eastern
homes, with hard luck stories and no
gold. A. II. Hostetter, of La Grange.
Ind. was with 400 men who crossed the
Tasmuna lake and reached the Konsinu
river. He said:
"Of the many hundreds that landed
at foot of the valdes glacier. only one
party had been in further than the
Konsinu, and they returned half
starved, having lost their outfits in the
rapids. 1t was reported that seven
lives had been lost in the rapids, but
the report had not been confirmed"
The most discouraging story is told
by A. g. johnson, OF st. Louis. He
said:
About 500 men have turned back
and are awaiting at Valdes for some
means Of getting out of the country.
Some have no money and will have to
remain there until the government
sends help. They will not starve, for
tons OF provisions have been abandoned.
1t is impossible to sell outfits.

The End ef che Remarkable Letter
wheat Deal.


Board oi Trade Brokers, hi Is IA Chamber 81
Commerce building, Portland, oregon.l
The Letter wheat deal. so-called,
which was certainly one of the most
remarkable business enterprises of
modern times, has come to an end.
Liquidation is now the order OF the
day, and many millions OF money
which were at one time profits on one
side Of the ledger have been wiped out
by losses ON the other side Of that same
truth-telling book.
1t is the old story over again OF Pro-
metheus challenging the gods. The
forces Of nature are too strong for any
man. and work and contrive as he
may, he cannot maintain himself
against that eternal decree that seed
time and harvest shall not fail.
The outlook In 1897 for the pur-
chase of wheat justified all that Mr..
Letter did. There were short crops
everywhere abroad, and the United
States alone possessed the grain the
whole world needed and must have.
AS the year advanced and it became
more and more apparent that the short
age was certain, the big deal began to
look more and more promising, and
after the December deliveries were pro-
yided for 1t seemed easy enough sailing
for the young merchant.
Mr.. Armour, who is no mean judge
Of such undertakings. and who has
fought many great commercial battle
on the board Of trade, in speaking Of
this splendid deal. said: 'The pluck
and wisdom manifested by him in the
remarkable deal which he all but sue
cesfully consummated, challenged the
admiration of men everywhere.
fully expected that he would carry the
deal through safely, as there was merit
In bis position"
This is testimony frcm one who had
felt the prowess of the youthful COM
mercial athlete. and who, in meas
ure, had been put to his trumps to
meet that antagonist on his own ground.
and it is therefore all the more trust
worthy as evidence that Mr.. Letter had
a strong position to begin with.
But time and tide wait for no man.
and ever-teeming mother earth gladly
responds to the husbandman's toll.
Unprecedented prices were responded
to by an unprecedented crop, and
bountiful nature offered to pour into
Mr.. Letters lap a much greater pro-
duct than he cared to possess. He
wisely closed the bins.

tMnMMo Hay,
Playa del Este Cable Station. Guam
tanamo Bay. Province Of Santiago de
Cuba, June a4.-The cable at this
point. on which Colonel Allen, with
the oable-boat Adria, has been working
for several days under difficulties, was
opened for operation today. Communi-
cation with Washington was established
and several official messages have been
received.
Matters in the harbor have been quiet
for two days, but stirring events are
expected soon.
The launches OF the Marblehead and
the Dolphin today, by command OF
Commander McCalla, dragged thechan
mel leading to the town Of Caimanera
and turned mp seven contact mines,
each containing lla pounds of gum
cotton.
The mines were exactly similar to
those found some days since by the
Texas and Marblehead, and everyone
had been hit by one OF our boats on the
occasion Of the hombardment. Com
mander McCalla said the escape Of the
American warships was little short OF
providential.
