S,nelter Strike Declared on.

Denver. Aug 15.--The strike of the
employees of the American Smelling and
Refining company of Colorado has been
declared off at meeting of the Smelter
Mems union in this city The action was
taken upon the recommendation of the
executive committee of the strikers. The
decision to call off the strike was due to
the detection of the American members
of the union, the foreigners having all
along stood out for a continuance of the
lockout. 1t is thought now that it is but
a question of short time until all the
nlants of the American Smelling and Re
fning company in Colorado will be going
at fill blast.

Port Townshend, Wash, Aug. To-
One thousand dollars worth of gold dust
from the Cape Nome mining district was
brought down by Captain Harkens of the
schooner Una, q days from the mouth
of Snake river. The gold represents a
few days' work on one of the claims own
ed by Captain Harkens and partners. He
does not predict anything very great for
rho country owing to the shcrtness Of the
mining season, which will not exceed
four months. A scarcity of wood pre-
vents winter mining and will make win
tering there very expensive.
