Easter Sunday has come aud gone,
and is now day of the past so far as
this year is concerned. How may that
keep and observe it surely know Is or.

Roman Catholic festival. A prominent
minister said it was, but it seems that
such is not the case We at this tim c
look to ii as the Resurrection of Christ.
We will not say that no rose on that
day, or not, but certainly Easter Sun

Christian era, among different nations,

To Bring Out the Gold.
Seattle Review.

Word has been received from
a trusty source, but kept quiet,
that one of the Yukon river boats
belonging to the North American
Transportation and Trading COM
pany which is following the ice
down the big river from Dawson
and Klondike points, in order to
meet the Roanoke at St. Mich.
ael early in July, carries large
share of the spring cleanup of
gold. The amount is not def

nitely stated. 1t is understood,
however, that the Roanoke will
bring down the bulk of the KlOn-
dixie gold output on her July and
August return trips to Seattle.
Probably owing to the war with
Spain, and the fear that Spanish
pirates from ports on the west
coast of South America will cruise
in the north Pacific in waiting
for Yukon treasure ships this
season, the utmost secrecy pre-
walls as to when and by what
conveyances the vast cleanup OF
the Klondille region will reach
Seattle. The amount to come
down has been estimated by Sec
rotary Gage at from $40, 00O,0 600
to SIS, 900, 900. Unofficial reports
place it at a much higher figure.
1t is known, however, that
Captain Healy of the N. A. IT. &
II. company has arranged with
the layer mine owners in the far
north for the transport OF the
bulk of the Yukon gold to Sc
attic. The government has de-
cided to hold the torpedo boat
Rowan in Puget Sound during
the season to be ready when
needed to act as convoy to the
Roanoke. 1t is understood that
Congressman Lewis has made
these arrangements, and that the
letter addressed to him by Sec
rotary Long recently, stating
that the new war vessel would be
held here, has this significance.
The Roanoke is expected here
on her first return trip by the
middle of July. The people will
await her arrival with almost
breathless expectation. She will
probably be met near Dutch Har-
Dor by her convoy and escorted
to this port. She is also likely
to have a protector up and back
on her second trip. 1t is known
that a large number of gold seek
ers will ship on her second trip
up in July. The Roanoke will
be the center of attraction this
season as she is the fastest and
most commodious steamship on
the Alaska fleet, and the accred-
tied treasure ship of the Klon-
dixie gold fields,

Prepare for the Rush

Present indications leave nc
doubt of substantial Yukon rush
after the middle of July, both by
the all water route and the Alas.
ka passes, says a valued eX-
change. The latter are being
improved and will afford easy ac-
cess, with full supplies the com
ing season. The first chapter in
the summer and fall season, how
ever, is confined to the all water
route by the Yukon river. This
will continue through July and
August and well into September.
The July trips of the Seattle-St.
Michael fleet will be more heav-
lily freighted than We're the June
sailings and it may be expected
that the August departures, ac-
centuated by the arrival of tons
Of virgin gold will be attended
with more excitement and a
greater number of gold seekers
than have yet characterized this
most marvellous Yukon enter
prise. The month of August will
undoubtedly witness the greatest
rush to the gold fields of the
Klondike and Alask,. that has
yet occurred. 1t is believed by
many that there will not be ships
enough available to accommodate
the demand for freight and pas
sage, for it is now known that at
least $40, 100000 in gold will
come down from the far north in
July and August.
In addition to this there will
be authentic information on the
new strikes that have been made.
New mining camps will be open
ed and the thousands who are
now waiting to hear from trusty
friends who have gone as adj
vance agents, will push forward
to join their comrades.

OUT FROM DAWSON
THEY REPORT THE LOWER YU-
KON VERY SHALLOW.
Believe That Few Ii Any of the
fully Make the Voyage.

James d. Barry, special cor
respondent for the San Francisco
Chronicle, who has been in Alas
l1a several months, passed thro'
Seattle recently on his way home.
He says that three men direct
from Dawson reached the lakes
June II, having voyaged on a
small steamer to Five Finger
rapids. One of them is Daniel
J. Lynch, of Alameda, California.
Lynch stated that he met the in
going fleet of boats about thirty
miles up the river from Dawson,
led by a big scow, loaded down
with whisky, which was disposed
of to thirsty souls at the rate of
fifty cents per 'three fingers.
Lynch reports that the water
on the lower Yukon is unusually
low for this time of the year, and
that it is believed at Dawson that
few, if any, of the river steamers
can successfully make the trip
from St. Michael to the heart of
the gold country. If this condi-
ton of affairs is true it is prOba-
bic, according to Mr.. Barry, that
the gold shipments may be up
the river and through the lakes,
instead of by ST. Michael. Mr..
Lynch estimated the springclean-
up at SIS, OOO,O 900. It's his opin-
ion that most of it will come out
in the form of drafts.
The Canadian Bank of Com
merce is preparing to establish a
branch at Fort Selkirk, within
the stockade, where it can be
protected by the police. The
equipment has already passed the
White Horse rapids in safety. 1t

ment consists of 81, OOo,O III
currency. 1t is probable that the
attempt to introduce currency
will result in a money war. Sa
loon men and others make a pro
fit out of handling gold dust, and
are reported to view the intro
duction of paper money with dis
favor. They have a plan, it is
said, to gather it in as fast as it
is put in circulation. In other
words, they contemplate running
a corner on the money market in
order that they may continue 20
derive profit in handling gold.
1t is probable that the scheme
will prove a failure, as the bank
is very powerful institution,
and will be on the outlook for any
such attempt, and will meet it
promptly.
There is a rumor in circulation
concerning the wholesale de-
struction of a fleet OF small boats
on one of the chain of lakes which
form the headTaters Of the Iu-
kOn. The fleet Was making its
way along with small sails set,
when storm came up suddenly
and caused wholesale wreck.
The boats are reported to have
disappeared in the twinkling of
an eye. After the storm had
passed the shore of the lake was
strewn with wreckage. Nothing
authentic was learned concern
ing the loss of life.
Speaking OF the Stikeen route,
Mr. Barry said that it was gen
orally conceded that it was barred
out for the remainder of the sea-
son. The only hope is that the
Canadian government will take
up the matter of building road,
A government official is said to
have been making personal in

ONE YEAR FOR SHAVER.
Slayer of John w. Dent Sentenced Bv
Judge Norrell.

Al Shaver, who was found guilty by
jury OF the involuntary nianslaughter
of John w. Dent, was yesterday SEN
fenced by Judge Norrell to one years
imprisonment in the county jaiI. the
Severest penalty the statute allows In
case Of involuntary manslaughter.
The jury accompanied their verdict
with recommendation to mercy, which
Judge Norrell, under all the circum-
stances. very properly ignored
Before sentence was passed, Mr.. John
NJ Zane, counsel for Shaver, urged the
court to take into consideration the
jury's recommendation to mercy. and
also urged that the testimony showed
that Shaver had no malice in his heart
when he shot.
Shaver then stated to the court that
when he was assailed by several of the
musicians, he drew his revolver simply
to brighten them; that he fell and the
gun went off accidentally
Mr.. Putnam, on behalf of the state
said that Shaver was a good-fo moth
ing fellow, and had often figured in
the police court, and was deserving of
no consideration. Counsel said the
jury was laboring under misappre-
hension as to the punishment for in
voluntary manslaughter when they re-
turned so light verdict
Judge Norrell said he did not care to
hear anything about what the Jury
thought, said or did. A verdict had
been returned, and the court could
do nothing but sentence the defendant
for the crime Of which he had been
convicted. The maximum punishment,
a year in the county Jail, the court
thought. was not too much, a nd SEN
tence was passed accordingly.

Sugar Beets.

Lehi Banner: Up to the present there
have been a little over 1900 acres OF
sugar beets planted. About 600 acres
in Lehi 400 acres in Salt Lake county
and the rest in the southern districts
Those planted first are coming up and
making a good showing. Those who
have not planted will wait a few days
and, if We get no rain, will irrigate
their land, as it is too dry now to
cause the seed to terminate. In some
instances, where the land will stand
it, it will be plowed again, to bring the
moist soil to the top, and will then be
planted. There are only a few fields
that Will stand this treatment without
drying out
Superintendent Austin was south
yesterday and says planting has been
stopped there until we get rain or the
land irrigated. Some of the beets that
were planted first are showing up in
good shape. Mr.. Gardner went to Salt
Lake county yesterday to see how the
work was progressing there.

From The Herald's Correspondents)
a dispatch from Rock Springs con-
tains further details of the tragedy on
Sheep creek, in Uintah county, Utah,
an account of which appeared in The

Reports reached here yesterday of the

referring to Reiser and his family
With the threat he drew his pistol and
fired at Reiser. The first bullet missed,
but the second inflicted a slight wound.
Reiser then struck Dowd with a
Ratchet and took his pistol. Dowd
grasped d knife and rushed at Reiser,
who shot as he advanced, the ball
