Messrs. Lindblom and Linderberg own
the richest claims so far developed. They
have taken out over $1,000 already and
have six weeks time yet before the sea-

sailor. Here he parted company with his

and afterward drifted over here in time
to stake several claims on the best creeks.
He has a nugget, picked up on his claim,

Anvil Creek derives its name from a

GIBRALTAR, Sunday, Sept 1O-The
flagship Olympia, with Admiral Dewey
on board, left to-day for New York di-
rect. On Friday the admiral, accom-
panied by Flag Lieutenant Brumby.
visited the schoolship Saratoga, where
the apprentice boys received him with
due honors and on his departure gave
three hearty cheers.
Inc admiral then visited the training
snip Alliance. Commander Albert Ross
and the other officers, in special full
dress uniform, received him on the
quarter deck, after which Admiral
Dewey inspected the crew at quarters.
IIS NdS very Hlucn pleased with the
fine appearance of the ship and it's
crew. The admiral quite won the hearts
OF the boys This was especially H.
lustrated by one incident which, while
a sad one, brought out the adrniraps G
interest in them. On the morning of
his visit, while lowering boat, the Ian
yard on the detaching fork parted and
one end Of the boat dropped into the
water, throwing boy from the boat
overheard and breaking his right
leg badly below the knee. The bows
name is Ritchie S. Maddox, and II was
with rare nerve that he swan TO a
rope and held on until picked up. On
pelng taken into the boat he said his
leg hurt and it was then discovered
that the limb was broken. The boy
was taken to sick bay. The doctor
asked II he wanted anything and the
boy, looking around, said:
/ want to see the admiral when he
comes on board
The doctor told him he would ask
the admiral to come to the sick bav
When the admiral went around the shin
he saw the boy and told him 1t was
too bad he had had an accident. but
that they would take him home on the
Olympia. The boys face fairly heamed
with pleasure. Later some of the other
boys told the. doctor they would like
to have their legs broken, too, If they
could go home with the admiral
