NEARLY A MILLION
Paid In Royalties to Canada by Klon-
dixie Miners.

Skaguay, Alaska, July IA, via Van
couver, B. c., July 19.-J. E. Gerou-
mard, a member of the Yukon council
of administration, arrived here today
from Dawson, on his way to Ottawa
with an official report to be laid before
the cabinet officials.
Concerning royalties he stated that
when he left Dawson the report of the
month OF June had not been completed.
But enough returns had been made to
state that the royalties for this season
would run over $500. 600 The total out
put for the season he estimated at $2O,-
600, 900 and the discrepancy of the roy
atty as against this total output he ex-
planned on the ground that the royal
ties had been diminished because it was
now only levied on over $1,000 instead
of over s., 600 and that the output of
claims which would thus escape the
royalty tax amounted to a large sum.
Commissioner Geroumard remarked
that the administration had expended
$50, 900 on hospitals and in addition had
worked all the prisoners on what may
be termed city improvements.
Charles Anderson stands at the head
of royalty payers, having handed over
to the government $44 600. He has
claims on Ell Dorado and also on Do
miniOn.
Prof Lippey of No. IS Ell Dorado, is
a good second. Hall and PicOtte of No

in royalty and Stanley and Wardner of
Seattle, from No. 25 and No. 20. Ell
Dorado, paid the royalty on S235, 900 of
gold dust, Ell Dorado is therefore, this
season, by far the heaviest producer.

BIG SHORTAGE
In the Russian Wheat Crop Reported
at Washington.

Washington. July 19.-The agrfcul-
turaI departments foreign crop for July
states that the commercial authorities
estimate the shortage in the Russian
crop of wheat at from S5,000,Q00 to 800
OOO OOO as compared with last year The
deficiency is most serious in the regions
most favorably situated for export. In
the north unseasOnably cold weather
unfavorabIy affected all the crops OF
hay, potatoes and all grains except
oats. The rye crop, an important one
is very short.
The Prussian official report on wheat
is little above ''fair'-2.3 being the
technical designation. The Austrian
outlook for wheat and rye is good in
all but one province, that of Bukowina.
Austria, Roumania and Bulgaria all
slightly below the average in wheat,
rye and maize.
A French estimate of the wheat crops
of Spain and Italy put it at $4,000 900
bushels below last year. the shortage
being somewhat the heavier in Spain.
The wheat crop in France is repre-
scented as satisfactory but the Optimis-
tic estimates made earlier in the season
have been scaled down by later crop
damage, the estimate now being $751;
100000.
IN Great Britain cable reports of a
severe general storm presage consfdera-
BILE damage to grain crop that other
wise would have ranked as fair.
Hay is very much below the average.
The report from India shows better
conditions in Bengal and the northwest
provinces than for several years prev
iOus. but this Improvement does not
