UNKNOWN VILLAGE FOUND.
Strange Community in the Heart OF
the Urals.


st. Petersburg, Oct. IA dispatch
from Moscow reports that news has
reached there from the Asiatic borders
of the discovery of an entire village,
the existence of which is unknown to
Russian and European ethnologists and
geographers None Of the many tribes
in this weird region knew that there
was such village, nor have they ever
met any Of the inhabitants.
The village lies snugly ensconced in
the valley of group Of lofty mountains
in the almost impenetrable Ural range.
The people speak language of their
own, which bears no resemblance what
ever to the 70 or more languages which
prevail in the vast regions of the great
white czar.
The travellers who chanced upon this
community have been unable to elicit
any information regarding their ante.
cedents. Their dress consists princi-
pslly Of animal skins and their huts are
constructed of twisted boughs.
The report adds sarcastically, refer.
ring to the heavy burdens of the czar'e
subjects, which have been discovered,
that the village seems to form a sort OF
ideal commonwealth, in which taxes
and tax gatherers, among other trouble
some things, are unheard Of. This lat.
ter defect, however, is now to be rem.
edied, and it will no doubt be only a
matter of few weeks or months be-
fore the villagers partake of all the adj
vantages and privileges Of the Russian

What Alaska Needs.

San Francisco, Oct. 17.-Thomas S.
Novel;, a prominent citizen of Boston,
who has just returned from Alaska,
where he has spent four months an.
naully for the last l3 years. says that
the district should have representa-
tive in congress and should have the
protection of adequate land laws. He
also thinks that the prohibitory liquor
law originally enforced to protect the
Indians, but now possible of evasion
with a great population of white men
and thousands of miles of unguarded
seacoast, should be replaced by high
license, producing revenue sufficient
to pay many expenses of the territory.

DARK DAYS FOR FRANCE.
Revolution Might Bring on War With
England.

London, Oct. 1.-THE situation in
Paris is regarded in well-informed
quarters as being more serious than at
any time since the commune. The St.
James's Gazette this afternoon says:
"a military revolution, however
peaceful, which replaces the Brisson
cabinet with nominees OF generals,
would imperil the relations between
England and France almost to the
breaking point. semi'official and
partly inspired Paris papers are still
pretending that negotiations are pro-
ceeding between the two governments,
and France believes it, although every
body in England knows the statement
to be ridiculous. Even supposing Major
Marchand is unconditionally with
drawn from Fashoda, the difficulties
with France will in no way end. Be-
hind it lies the whole question OF Bahr-
el-Ghazal, the richest prize in the Sou
dan"

DAWSON QUARTZ MINES.
Future Of the City Depends Upon Their
Development.


Vancouver, B. c., Oct. III. H.
Hold, of Chicago, who is just down
from Cassiar, says a gold strike has
been made on Friday river. Three
men took out $50 each from a river bar
in one week.
H. NJ. Sinclair, Of Los Angeles, Cal. =,
who has just arrived from Dawson,
says the future of Dawson will depend
largely upon the opening of quartz
mines. There have been upwards of
400 quartz claims recorded at Dawson
and some claims in the vicinity OF the
city are attracting considerable atten-
tion, not on account of the high grade,
but of the immense deposits OF gold
bearing ore,
G. G. Black, who has just returned
from Peach river, states that several
prospectors up there stole provisions
cached by tribe OF Indians which had
always been friendly to the whites.
The red men were not long in retaliat-
ing. They fred the grass in the dis.
trict for miles around. The result was
disastrous to the unscrupulous white
men. Their horses died of starvation,
and, half-starved themselves, they fled
from the country and returned to Omi.
neca. Had they not left the district
the Indian hostilities would have been
carried still further.

Conner Mine Rnilrond.

City Of Mexico, Oct. 15.-The gov
ernment has granted concession for a
standard-gauge railroad $50 kilometers
maximum length. The concessionaire
is the Inguaran Copper Mining Com
pany, in which the Paris Rothschilds
are heavily interested. The road is
being planned to connect the mines
with the bay Of Zituatanaeza, on the
Pacific coast, and will be an outlet for
copper productions. The Inguaran
mines are believed to be the future OF
the rival of the Calumet g Hecla, the
greatest known copper property in the
United States.

UP THE NOATAK RIVER.
First White Men to Ascend the Kotze-
bue Sound Stream.

bue Sound Stream.
Seattle, Oct. 16.-The first white
men to ascend the Noatak river, in
Alaska, arrived here today. They were
DR.. r. E. franklin and G. H. Griffith,
of Richmond, Va; N. Livermore, OF
Port Townsend; John Mason, Charles
Gay and Wallace Rhodes, Of Seattle;
o. Payne, of New York city, and Jack
Beach.
In two rowboats they went up about
$50 miles, which required ~ days of
hard work. Their return trip was made
in only 36 hours, which gives good
idea of the swiftness of the water in
this hitherto unexploled river. They
did not find any trace of gold worth
mentioning. but discovered a country
in which wild berries, especially cur
rants, thrive; also all kinds of water
fowl and the ptarmigan. On their re-
turn from Kotzebue sound, franklin
and Griffith located claims at Galvoin
bay, where they took out $3.50 to the
pan at bedrock. Some of the gold as
says about $19 to the ounce.
Arthur D. Spiers, of New York, ar
rived here today from Alaska, where
he went as a member of the Pat Gal
vim expedition, which drove 1000
head of beef cattle over the Dalton
trail to Fort Silkirk, where they were
butchered and shipped to Dawson.
Only six head died on the drive. At
Dawson the meat sold at $1.25 pound
retail, and SO cents wholesale.
