GOLD FROM The KLONDIKE.
Consul McCook. Estimates Seasons
Shipments at SO. 247,745.

Washington. Nov. Sin report to
the state department Consul McCook
at Dawson, under date of Sept. IA last,
says the gold shipments for the season
aggregated s9247. 745. Prices of living,
he says, have been slowly declining.
Typhoid was decreasing and the death
rate had also decreased.
The rush to Cape Nome continues
from mining camps all along the
Yukon. At Circle City only seventy
five people remain out of 300. Eagle
City has lost 500 of its population of
1.500 and Rampant City has only 200 of
its former population of 1900 remain
ing The Cape now has a population
numbering thousands and supports
many stores, dance houses, saloons,
etc.
The consul says that as to the rich
ness of the country there can be no
doubt and refers specially to the So
called RUBY sand" which has been
traced along the shore TO Port Clarence,
100 miles west of Cape Nome. The
creeks back of the Cape are also inn
proving. 1t is calculated that upwards
of 10000 people will be in the country
the coming year.

CONDITIONS AT MAMMOTH.
Superintendent Mcintyre Has Heard
of No New Strike.
fSnecial CORRESPONDENCE.


Robinson, Nov. superintendent
Mcintyre of the Mammoth mill this
morning said that the last cleanup,
which practically represents a thirty
days run, from the latter part of Sep
TENDER TO the latter part of October,
was the best in every particular and
more profitable than has resulted for a
number of years, and quite likely as
good as the mill has ever done Il do
not mean to convey the impression that
we are doing better work said Mr..
Mcintyre, by employing more intelli-
gent and skillful men-because that $
not so-but the point is that we are
taking more precaution at the mine by
assaying the dirt closer, sampling and
sorting closer. and having greater re-
gard for the quality than for the ton
mage consequently when 1t comes to
the mill ID is cleaner, and we can OBJ
tain better results.
When Mr. McIntyre's attention waT
called to big gold strike, as reported
by a Salt Lake paper, he laughingly
said tfat he had been, told that such a
statement had been made, but he knew
Nothing of it. Continuing he said: You
ssee>df we have an ore chute showing
on the six, seven, eight, nine or any
level and we expose it, or define its
continuity on any of the other levels,
that is not a strike. No, l know of no
new strikes in the mine. though the
gold values are showing UP well.
When asked if the regular dividend
would be posted on the 20th he declared
il was trifie early TO say positively,
but that il was his belief that it would

MEETING OF THE CABINET.
Philippine and Cuban Matters Dis
cusssd By the Me1ebers.

Washington, Nov. 3.-The cabinet
meeting today tasted two hours. Much
of the time was spent in the reading
and discussion of the preliminary re-
port of the Philippine commission. The
report was considered very satisfactory
and received the full approval of the
cabinet There was some incidental
discussion of the status of our insular
possessions in relation to the postal
union Postmaster General Smith will
investigate the subject and report at
some future meeting.
The particular point under discussion
was that involving the right under the
law of our soldiers in the Philippines
to send through the mails to friends in
this country souvenirs of little or no
commercial value. Under a strict con-
struction of the law. articles of any
commercial value except books are pro-
hibited from being sent through the
mail. But the government realizing
that with the approach of the Christ
mas holidays. the soldiers serving in
the Philippines undoubtedly will wish
TO send home some momentos of their
service. an earnest effort will be made
to overcome the difficulties presented.
1t is probable Secretary Gage will
formulate some regulation which viii
meet the situation.
The subject of a civil government for
Cuba also received considerable atten-
ton. The necessity for a change in the
present military system, ii is said, be-
comes more and more apparent and the
president is waiting only until an en-
tirely suitable person can be found be-
fore taking action in that direction.
General Wood is said to be very favor
ably regarded in this connection, but
there are obstacles to his appointment
which at present are deemed unsur-
mountable. One Of them is that the
number of officers in Cuba who rank
with General Wood and his promotion
over their heads is not deemed advis-
able.
The report coming from Canada to
the effect that Sir Louis Davis a Eem-
Der of the Canadian cabinet, who re-
Gently returned from England. was
treated with scant courtesy by the
customs officials at New York was
mentioned. The president sincerely re-
grets that Sir Louis was put to any
Inconvenience or suffered annoyance at
the hands of. customs inspectors and it
is probable that the regrets of this gov
eminent will be forwarded to him.

ANOTHER REVOLT THREATENED.
Residents of Bluefields Object to I'm
position of Taxes.

Bluefields. Nicaragua, Oct. 29.-The
residents of Bluefelds are again hav-
ing some trouble with the administra-
ton and hereafter will be taxed from
another quarter. Some ten days ago
il was announced that after Nov. l. an
export duty of cents a bunch would
be placed upon bananas. This export. is
the life of the coast. The Americans
have built up the industry and are
building up the country by their pres
ence. The duty proposed affects only
the Americans. Were it not for the dis
organized condition of the coast an
other revolution would be likely.
However, this state of affairs cannot
occur without some outside assistance.
1t is this assistance that the people are
expecting. Costa Rica is filled with
fugitive Niearaguans and a revolution
is not unlikely. This impression is
strengthened by the open ill-feeling be-
tween leading members of the local adj
ministration. If a revolution is started
it will be headed doubtless by men who
are now exiled.

GRAND GULcH COPPER.
A Shipment Arrives Which Aver
ages 291s Per Cent.

The first shipment of copper ore in
about eighteen years from the Grand
Gulch copper mine, located in Mojave
county, Arizona, was at the Conklie
Sampling Works yesterday. The lot
consisted of enc carload and was MADE
up entirely of second-class ore. yet the
average was 2912 per cent copper, with
small values in other metals. The prop
! erty is owned by the Grand Gulch Cop
per Mining company of this city, in
which Thomas w Jennings and asso-
ciates are interested. Superintendent
Isaac Jennings. who has been conduct
ing the development work at the prop
erty for several weeks past, returned
10 the city yesterday greatly elated
over conditions, and before leaving the
mine made arrangements to keep up
continuous shipments of ore.
He states he has about fifty tons of
high grade material ready to come out
that will average around 80 per cent
copper. While he was al the mine he
had over 100 assays of the ore made.
and none of them went under 26 per
cent copper. Mr.. Jennings considers
the Grand Gulch a mammoth copper
propositions; ore is exposed in every
part of the workings, and in all of them
there is a good showing of high-grade
product. In the lower incline he ex-
posed a ten-foot breast of very high
grade material. 4 force of twelve men
is employed at the mine at the present
time, which will shortly be increased.
The mine was worked over eighteen
years ago, when a primitive smelter
was erected on the ground. 1t was
closed down, after brief run, there be-
ing little market for copper. and prices
being so low il would not pay to work
the ore. Thomas w Jennings became
satisfied, owing to the boom in the cop
per market last spring, that the mine
could be made to pay, even if the ore
had to be shipped to Salt Lake for
treatment by 135-mile wagon haul TO
the railroad. He made a trip to the
mine and spent several weeks i'm gath
ering his samples. He endeavored to
be conservative in his selections to see
that ne had as near an average of the
property as possible. The tests were
made. and the results obtained went
beyond his EXP ectations. His associates
were not so sure about the samples
brought up being an average. But
since the returns from the car of ore
were made known, and since Superin-
tendent Isaac Jennings has put in an
appearance. they are convinced that the
figures secured from Thomas w. Jen-
nings samples We're, if anything, be-
low the actual average.
The Savanic copper property which
is also said TO be an extremely merit
orious proposition, is located about four
m les nearer the Grand canyon. II is
owned by Colonel H. l.. Pickett and as
socistes of this city. The colonel ex-
poets to leave for the mine next week.
when ii is the intention to inaugurate
a season of development work. to be
followed uD with ore shipments.

BUYS CROWN POINT.
shawInut Mining Company Gets a
Valuable Tunnel Site.

The Shawmut Mining company,
which is developing the Cuba group
in Bingham. has just added to its
holdings the Crown Point mining
claim, which was acquired not only for
its mineral values. but also to furnish
the Cuba group with a more conven-
lent tunnel site.
II was learned yesterday from Man
aser w. b. Andrew that arrangements
have been made for the starting of
a new tunnel on the Crown Point
ground. which will tap the ore bodies
of the Cuba at least $50 feet below the
present workings.
The Crown Point was quite a noted
producer in the early days. Some big
shipments of ore were made from it.
Six hundred tons was shipped. aver
aging u per cent copper. 81 gold and 1
ounces silver.
In the tunnel run on the property a
siX-foOt vein of good milling ore is
disclosed, which will undoubtedly turn
into higher grade ore as soon as more
depth is attained on the vein.
The tunnel on the Cuba ground has
been completed to a distance of 500
feet, in which three distinct chutes OF
ore have been encountered which carry
exceedingly good values.
