NVIL CITY, Alaska, Aug. 2.-Upon
~ interviewing miners, merchants
N and professional men, 1 find that
n they all agree upon one point and
Il n that is that the Cape Nome min
ing district is the richest place on
the Pacific Coast if not in the world, for
where is there another place where an
inexperienced miner can take an old-fash
ioned rocker and take out from the sands
on the beach from $40 to 800 per day.
such is the case here. There are 1000 or
1900 men now working side by side on the
beach near the mouth of Snake River.
How long this will last is a speculation,
but as the beach prospects good for
many miles in each direction it is natural
to suppose that it will hold out for two
or three years, at least, but that depends
also on the number of men and the means
employed in working it. The deposits of
gold lie in pockets" in the richest spots
and are also scattered freely among the
sands in other places, as though it has
been thrown UP by the action of the
waves.
The miners are a good-natured lot of
men and all classes and nationalities are
represented with the exception of Chinese
and Japanese. Men who come here to
practice law or medicine are found among
them working with the pick, shovel, rock
er and pan. There has been but very lit
markable from the fact that they are as
thick as bees" at the richest points, and
one man is allowed only as much ground
as he can compass with his shovel-when
this is worked out he finds another place.
In most instances the pay streak is
found from five feet to seven feet from
the surface in a ruby sand deposit and
agRin deeper on a clay formation, which
acts as a bedrock: there is no gold found
under this Quicksilver, copper plates
and blankets are used to catch 1t, as the
gold is very fine and the sand extremely
heavy; much gold is lost by being washed
over and in time this ground will be all
reworked.
A week ago Lieutenant Wallace NJ
Craigie who is stationed here with twen-
ty men of Company E, Seventh Infantry
from Fort Sheridan, Ill, arrested 2S6
beach miners on a complaint sworn out
by the Cape Nome Mining Company, who
claimed the beach where the miners We're

unfinished barracks now being built for

ing further done, for as Lieutenant
Craigie informed be, he had received in
structions from Captain Walker at St
Michael that the beach was open back to

the manner in which Lieutenant Craigie
has managed affairs here He is a very

PRUDENCE

Criticize France.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. PAUL. Mimi, Sept. 13.-Arch-
bishop Ireland to-day, asked for his
opinion on the meeting to protest
against the verdict of the Rennes court
martial said:
eft is my belief that public meetings
in America such as it is proposed to
hold for the purpose of protesting
against the sentence of the Rennes
court-martial are untimely unfair to
France and likely to breed regrettable
ill-feeling between that country ana
our own. l shall not deny that L mad
always in my heart deep sympathy Tor
the unfortunate officer who has been
under trial in Rennes, and that L had
wished and hoped that the sentence or
the court would be one OF acqulttai.
But il is another question TO face the
verdict of the court the moment that
verdict has been declared with the as
sertion that 1t is plainly against truth
and that the court from which IL IS
sues is guilty of base injustice ana sac
rilege-perjury. And it is still more so
another question to lay upon France
the crime of the verdict II crime there
be in it, and to throw at whole people
and at their government insulting cpl
thets. Let lis wait.
This whole matter belongs to the in
ternal life and to the internal admins
tration of France, and international
courtesy as well as justice bids US talk
about it very carefully and very slowly
France is a proud, sensitive nation. She
will deeply resent, as 1t is her right,
undue criticism and hasty Judgment Of
her acts by foreign people and es-
pecially will she resent, as it is surely
her right. any uncalled for interference
with her internal administration and
any imprudent challenging of her ma
tional honor. France has been our
friend for ages. She was our friend
when no other nation befriended us.
She is our friend to-day. She is a sis
ter renublic. We should pause long and

a I EW YORK, Sept. 13.-General
M Howard Carroll and Lieutenant
Y Commander Fremont returned to-
day from Washington, whittier
they had gore to consult with the Navy
Department and the Secretary of the
Treasury regarding the participation in
the parade Of ships Of war and revenue
cutters.
General Carroll said that the Treas
ury Department would assign as many
revenue cutters as the commission
wanted-up to six or eight-and that
Captain Hodgson, commander of the
McCulloch at Manila, would be in COM
mand of the revenue cutter division.
The warships are to proceed in single
column formation. The yachts division,
being commanded by Eldridge T. Gerry,
win proceed in single column forma-
ton and small yachts will follow in
double column formation. Large ex-
cursion steamers will come next in sin
gle column and tugs and smaller ex-
cursion steamers in double column.
Much anxiety has been felt over the
possible inability of the naval commit
tee to keep the excursion boats in line.
This has happily been settled. Lieu
tenant Commander Fremont, who is
supervisor of the harbor, has unearthed
an old law that provides for the con-
duct of captains of craft during a re-
view or parade. Under that law mas
ter who disobeys the orders of rightful
authorities is subject to arrest and re-
vocation Of his license. In case of the
present parade the proper authorities
viii be the police patrol boats.
General Roehn has not yielded his
position in regard to the line for the
land parade. He still holds that Fifth
avenue is the only street. and will try
and convince the other members Of the
plan and scope committee at meeting
to decide the question on Friday.

and OF the Malaisian archipelago, occupied
the pulpit at the II o'clock service Of the
Metropolitan NJ Z. Church yesterday
morning A large congregation assemble !
to hear him. President Mckinley was
present aud occupied his accustomed pew.
The text was taken from Luke Xi:2:
Thy kingdom come thy viii be done on
earth as il is in heaven" Bishop Thoburn
said that the Lords prayer was intended
10 serve as a model but that people gen
orally misconstrued 1t, and asked for ma
terial benefits in their prayers instead OF
praying for the coming OF Christ's king
dom. People had a mistaken notion as to
when 10 would come, he said, but Christ s
brief ministry on earth had fully explained
it, Continuing, Bishop ThOburn said.

heart and the widest realm Of being Of

lnies of mankind 10 a final acceptance OF

In speaking OF the difficulties with which
missionaries have had TO contend in the

years ago England. France, Portugal, and
Spain had all combined TO prevent mis-
siouaries gaining a foothUld in the East.

under the protection OF the Danish flag,
