STRIKING 1T RICH
DOwREY BROTHERS IN THE BILL
MKlNLEY STRIKE A
RICH BODY OF
ORE

The many hoped for good things,
which have been predicted to come out
of the Unaweep country, are commenc-
ing to come.
Late Saturday afternoon in the Bill
Mckinley mine owned and being opened
by Messrs. w. T. and T. Dowrsy, the
latter made strike which he thinks, as
do many others, that it is a fortune
winner.
The strike was made from a shot,
which opened up vein 10 inches in
width, which showed ore running in
spots almost pure copper. The rock
showing the width of tho vein was at
once brought to this city by Mr.. I. Dow
cry, and has been on exhibition all day
in front of the w. 7. Dowery grocery
store.
The piece of ore, while small in size,
weighs AZ pounds. A mill run will be
made on the ore brought to this city, to
fully determine at once the richnes OF
the vein opened and of the piece from
the vein itself.
"If this copper ore proves as rich as we
think it is said Mr.. W. T. Dowrey we
will guarantee a smelter before long
We have not hesitated to keep on pros
pecting with our mine, despite good or
bad reports from others and we shall SO
continue until we develop something or
are satisfied in our own minds that there
is nothing in the Unaweep."
The piece of ore attracted great deal
of attention all day from many people
and there has been a perfect stampede
ts the Unaweep under the impetus given
by this find.

CLEVELAND NOT DEAD.

Observation-Disclosures rumors to the
effect that ex-President Cleveland, while
fishing at Middle Bass Island, Lake
Erie, dropped dead today reached here
from the east and west this evening.
Up to 10 o'clock tonight, however, it
was impossible to vertify the rumor, and
there appears to be no foundation for it,
Middle Bass Island is one OF group
lying off Sandusky and it is only short
distance from Put-in-Bay Island, which
l. connected with the mainland by a
cable at Sandusky. The Western Union
operator at the latter place said tonight
that while the cable Office on the island
has been closed all day, the cable was in
working condition No message con-
cerning Cleveland or anything else, he
said, had been offered on the cable to-
day. There is no other way ia which
the news could have been sent except
by boat to this city, Sandusky, Toledo,
or Detroit, and no boats have arrived at
either OF those places since this fore
noon.

almost knocked the town to pieces. The

buildings were ruined. Even the trees
and shrubbery were torn as if by a

Several hundred women and children
came into the American lines for refuge
and the road from Bacoor was covered
all day long with PROFESSIONS of them
on foot and in carts. driving animals
and carrying goods on their heads.
The appearance of the battlefield

Horse June 3. One OF her passengers,
William p. Allen of Seattle. who ar
rived here tonight on the steamer Al

navigation at Dawson on May II. nine
days later than last year. The trip was
made without difficulty until Lake

fifty more scows were passed, all loaded
and bound for Dawson.
Since the big fire Dawson has been
the scene of business activity, sawmills
have been running day and night, but
have been unable to supply the de-
mand for lumber. Every man who can
drive nail has secured employment.
The season was somewhat backward
this year, and, as result, the cleanup
did not commence until a short time
before Allen started out. He says what
little was known of the re-
suit Of the cleanup was most
satisfactory, and claim-owners We're
jubilant. Many predict that the
output of gold this year will far ex-
ceed the expectations of the most san
guine.
Allen says the reported exodus from
Dawson for Cape Nome is mythical, as
the strike at that place had not reached
Dawson when he left.
The latest news from Atlin brought
down on the Al-Ki states that the open
mining season has again been post
poned from June 10 TO July l. Gold
Commissioner Graham gives as rea-
son for causing this delay that a large
number of claims are in dispute and
that he Will not undertake the settle
ment of the question of the titles until
the arrival of the minister of mines or
his representative, who will hear the
cases and pass on them.
The delay in settlement causes Il
stagnatiOn of business, as many of the
best claims are tied up. Those VINO
have been working claims are reticent
about giving out the result of their
work. but it is known some of the
claims are turning out fairly well. Bert
Farrar took out seven pounds of gold
in six days on his Pine creek claim:
Fritz Miller, owner of the Discovery on
Pine creek. took out 81, 900 with seven
men in two days. and Mr.. McCauley
took out twenty-five ounces with a
rocker in one day from a bench claim
on Nugget Hill. and other claims are
reported as showing up well.
