STEWARTRIVER ono GOOD,
A Prospector Explores It for 1875
Miles Without Finding PAY Dirt.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 22.-J. w. Bea1l,
a mining expert of New York arrived
here today from Skaguay. He has
been up the Stewart river which he
says is practically an unknown stream.
He and his companions reached Nc
Questen creek, 1875 miles from the mouth
of the river, but failed to make a paying
strike. They started on the return
trip December 8, with eighteen inches OF
snow on the ground and the thermOm-
eter registering p degrees below zero.
Continuous snow storms intense cold
and difficulty of making their way made
the trip more than usually severe in
those regions of hardship. Once two
of the men in the lead breaking trail,
fell through the ice and were rescued
only with great difficulty. Nine and
half days were occupied in making 35
miles.
BeaH says they found bars on the
Stewart very rich in flour gold, easily
saved, but in various gulches and
streams they prospected, nothing was
obtained except light flake gold, which
it is almost impossible to save except
with quicksilver.
The Stewart river enters the Yukon
about 68 miles above Dawson City.

the regiments into brigades, divisions ant
corps. and appoints the general and staff
officers necessary. That is to say, {
regularly organized company in the
State Guard that volunteers and re
cruits up to the required 81 men retains
its officers. 4 regular regiment in the
State Guard that volunteers keeps its
regimental officers.
On this point the Hull bill makes this
important proviso, authorizing the cal
for troops
provided, That i'll the event of cal
by the President for either volunteers Oh
the militia of the country the President
is authorized to accept the quotas OF
troops of the various States and Terri
tories, as organized under the laws OF
the States and Territories.
While the Constitution Of the United
States gives Congress power to pro.
vide what the organization of the mill.
tia of the States shall be, and how il
shall be armed and disciplined, the
States reserve the right TO appoint the
officers themselves, and to train their
respective militia according TO the dis
cipline prescribed by Congress. The
President, therefore, cannot appoint any
militia officers. They are State officers,
and of course their respective States
must appoint them: and the United
States Constitution recognizes the feet,
apparently to prevent possibility Of diff
ference OF opinion us to who should &c
it. And this, of course. holds good dur
ing any time the militia may De in the
service of the United States, as we'll rs
nl1 ntbnr fip1pS bnaaIISa II iS Statp
institution. The use of it by tho United
States is a mere matter of constitutional
borrowing.
The militia provisions of the Consti-
tuition are. in substance. that whenever
the United States needs the militia of
the States for any one of the three pur
poses mentioned in the Constitution, it
may be called into the Federal service
and used for those purposes. and also,
in order that it may be an effective force
when called into the Federal service. the
United States may secure uniformity
in the organization, arming and train
ing it 10y passing n general law for
that purpose that will apply to the
militia of all the States alike.
AS to the expense of the transporta-
ton of troops here, that will be borne
by the State ut present and the amount
covered back into the treasury by the
United States later On this point the
companies that have volunteered need
give themselves no concern. Trans
portation by special trains will be pro
vidcd by the Quartersmastcr in eX-
actly the same manner as has always
been done heretofore when the Guard
was called out in the State.
