RICH STRIKES ARE REPORTED.
Miners Are FIocLing to United
states Territory.

San Francisco, Feb. 23-Stewart Men
zies, an agent of the Alaska Commercial
Company, who has just returned from the
Klondike region, starting from Dawson
City on January 20 and from Skaguay on
February 10, reports that the tide of gold
hunters who focked into Canadian terri
tory when the news of the rich strikes in
the Klondike region was first announced,
is now turning, and those who abandoned
their claims on American and Chicken
creeks are now returning there, accom-
panied by many others who have been I'M
able to locate claims on Canadian soil
Menzies says that Just before he came
out claims on Davis, Chicken, Napoleon
and Walkers Fort creeks, which are tribu-
tary to Forty Mile creek, showed better
results than before the rush to the Klon-
dixie, especially those on Chicken creek,
which are from eight to twelve feet deep,
averaging 50 to the pan.
On American creek, which is a branch
of the Yukon river. the claims are shall
low, running from So to S. per pan at a
depth of from three to four feet He also
says that rich strikes have been made on
Birch and Minook creeks, near Circle City
and on Miller and Glacier creeks, which
are tributary to Sixty Mile creek.
Menzies predicts that the majority o.
those miners now on the Canadian sid,
will cross the boundary. as it is almost
impossible for one-fifth of those already nj
the Klondike to locate claims, and they
will be compelled to spread out over thu
territory, which, while not so rich as thu
Klondike, promises better returns thai
was formerly expected.

IDAHOS AUDITOR WON A CASE.
Supreme Court Ordered MIR. Lewis to
Turn Over Money.

Boise, Idaho, Feb. % - The supreme
court has decided the Anderson Lewis
case in favor of the auditor. A writ of
mandate was ordered issued, directing the
secretary of state to pay into the state
treasury by April the amount received
for transcribing the laws and journals.
The court threw off the penalty, simply
requiring Mr.. Lewis to pay the $675.
In this case Auditor Anderson brought
suit to compel Mr.. Lewis to pay over 1878
received for the work of transcribing the
laws and journals. with penalty and inter
est. The point at issue was whether the
secretary could take private contract for
such work In all former administrations
this work was paid for by the state or by
the printer the printer in the latter case
taking the contract to tnnscribe and pub
fish. This year Mr.. Lewis took sub
contract from the printer, doing the work
at night. The court held this was illegal,
and the amount received must be turned
over to the state The penalty provided
for was RENTED by the court on a show
ing made by Lewis that he had retained
the money on the advice of the attorney

DUN'S REPORT is OPTIMISTIC.
Material Advances i'm stapIes-The
Rise i'm Wheat.

New York, Feb. Or. G. Dun &
Company's Review of Trade says;
The dreadful disaster to the Maine,
much as it has affected all hearts, has
not much affected business. Only in the
stock market, where there was selling
Wednesday by spectators on thin mar
gins, but in no other speculative market
was an effect felt, nor in general business.
An. advance of 10 per cent by some
gogebic mines is expected to be general
throughout the lake region, excepting the
Messaba district, and prices of ore from
the other ranges have been advanced 10
per cent with an allotment of 100000
tons outside Carnegie's mines, which be-
tokens an output much larger than ever
known.
Wheat has risen 30 points and exports
continue so heavy that a material advance
is natural. Atlantic exports in three
weeks have been S,4l6,Sl9 bushels flour
included, against 5,66l ,97l last year, and
Pacific exports have been 2,476,652 bush
els. against ,474,7S2 bushels last year
Such shipments. with heavy engagements
for the future, in spite of l,500,S3l bush
els of corn exported. against 2,507 ,20C
bushels in the same week last year. are
conclusive proof of the urgency of for
. eign needs. The bottom fact is that the
world needs wheat, which this country can
/ only supply for about six months to come
