of sick and impoverished miners from

'The trail from Valdez to Copper
River said Percelta, has been COM

glaciers abandoned. To all impover-
ished miners in this district the Gov
eminent is giving employment at $50
a month and board until enough has
been earned to pay for a second-class
passage home. All of the scurvy sick
are being sent out free.
I'm the early part of July four bodies
were found in the sound at Valdez.

and Discussed by Great Council.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-At the
session of the Great Council of the
Improved Order of Red Men to-day
several propositions were presented and
discussed but action thereon will not
be taken until tomorrow. Among
these were the creation of new officer
to be known as the Exemplifier of the

may be done uniformly in every tribe;
another was the appointment of a

whole time to the extension of the

The awarding of the prize of 500 to

THE CHARLES NELSON.
Arrives From st. Michael Via
Dutch Harbor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 3.-The
steamer Charles Nelson arrived from
ST. Michael via Dutch Harbor to-day,
thirteen and one-half days from ST.
Michael
and the wealth of her passengers is
estimated at about $15O,O00. The
amount of the treasure sent down in
care of the purser is not known, but
it is generally understood to be large
detachment of soldiers of the Third
Artillery, U. S. A, arrived on the Nell
son.
The reports from Dawson are not
the most encouraging. Thousands of
corner and in every saloon. The Gov
eminent has already sent many back
to their former homes.
Cape Nome has the appearance of
great success. There are many re-
ports and some proofs of gold being
found there, but nothing surely as to
the amount.
Among the passengers on the Nelson
was Paul C. Potter of this city. He
reports that there is little known at
ST. Michael of the Cape Nome discov-
cries. THE people at Nome scarcely
know themselves the exact condition of
the gold finds,'' he said. 1.-The discov-
cries are SO new that it is folly to at
tempt to either boom them or pro-
nounce them of little value. There are
many contradictory reports from the
district
