gold output of the Klondike this year
has been only about $4,000, 900. The re-
ceipts at the mint here have amounted
to about 81, $50 900 since the first arrival
of Yukon gold a few weeks ago. The
receipts of the Seattle assay office
have been about the same. The larg-
est single deposit at the mint here was
100000. Mr.. Leach estimates that
about $250,000 in dust and nuggets has
gone east and that there is about ST.
100000 more of this seasons output yet
to reach this country. It is stated that
the dust brought out by the North

PEACE COMMISSIONERS.
The near approach to the signing of
the protocol has required the discus
sion of the personnel of the commits
sion. There is good authority for the
statement that Secretary Day will be
at the head of the commission, and
two United States senators will be
members of it. Senator Allison of Iowa
and Senator German of Maryland have
been prominently mentioned for places
on the commission, and it is known.
that they have been under considera-

1t is not believed by members of the
administration that the commission can
complete its work in time to cause an

will necessitate. although there is a
prospect that an extra session of the
senate might be called in November TO
