NEARLY A MILLION
PAID IN ROYALTIES

SKAGUAY (Alaska), July IA, via
Vancouver, B. c., July 18.-J. z. Ger
Guard. a member of the Yukon Council
Of Administration, arrived here to-day
from Dawson on his way TO Ottawa
with an official report to be laid before
the cabinet officials.
Concerning royalties, he said that
when he left Dawson the report for 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, 900. The total out
nut for the season he estimated at $20.-
00O. 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 il was
now only levied on over $4,000 instead Of
over $1,000 and that the output Of claims
which would thus escape the royalty
tax amounted TO a large sum.
Commissioner GerOuard remarked
that the administration had expended
SIS, 00G on improvements in the city;
$4,000 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
10 the Government $44, 900. He has
claims on FL Dorado and also on Do
minion. Professor Lippy Of No. 13. Ell
Dorado, Is a good second. Hall and
Picotte Of No. i Ell Dorado paid a trifle
over $4,000 in royalties, and Stanley &

broken while the machine was descend

the village. Mr.. Davis telegraphed for
a new wheel to Stamford, Conn, after
which he came to Utica by rail.
Mr.. Davis said the roads so far had
been horrible Continued rains in Cen
trail New York for the last week have
in several places entirely washed out
the roadbeds. In many places no effort
has been made by the authorities to re-
pair them.
Where the roads were entirely wash

thrown in to help fill up holes, and yet
over these roads the automobile pro-
ceeded where an ordinary road wagon
would have found it impossible to pro-
ceed West of Little Falls are steep
hills, where the highway commission
ers made temporary landing places for
horses. Had the weather been dry Mr.
Davis feels confident he would have ar
rived in this city yesterday afternoon.
The enthusiasm of residents of vii
Iages all along the route has been in
tense. Crowds have waited for hours
where the automobile was expected.
The occupants of the horseless car
riage have had escorts of men and
women for miles into the open country,
so great has been the interest in the
tranScOntinental tour.
The new wheel is expected late to-
morrow afternoon in Little Falls. 1t
will take two hours to adjust it. when
the machine will be brought here and
Mr. Davis will Immediately start west
ward. intending to reach Buffalo by
Saturday. In this city streets through
which the automobile was expected to
pass were filled with citizens anxious TO
see it.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis left Amsterdam
at o'clock this morning. They found
the roads very poor, but made the run
of ten miles to Fonda in an hour. They
breakfasted in Fonda and left at 8
o'clock Canajoharie was reached at
haIf-past nine o'clock the roads grow
ing worse as they proceeded. Where
they were not mudd-- and heavy the
roads were filled with holes and rucks.
Heavy head winds were encountered
while riding over the rough and hilly
roads to st. townsville, but the auto
mobile readily overcame every obstacle
and the tourists reached Little Falls at
half-past twelve o'clock with the ma
chine apparently in excellent condition.
The actual running time for the forty
two miles travelled was five hours,
which is regarded as an exceller+ rec

COVELO, July 1S.-There is scarcely
a story of the old Scotch border raids
which eclipses in intrigue and cOwardly
cruelty the confirmation of the Doolittle
compulsory retraction tale told by Mrs.
DoOlittle, wife of the victim, who came
into COVelO to-day and was interviewed
regarding the retraction story brought
in by Mr.. Zaccarini yesterday. She con-
f1rmed the report in all its leading feat

J. Nj. Brophy represented himself as a
United States marshal and placed her
husband under arrest and took him
straight TO Blocksburg, in Humboldt
County.
When the party arrived at Blocksburg
a notary public was not to be found,
and some little delay was OCcasioned
there. Justice of the Peace Jamisen
was requested to take the affidavit of
retractiOn. During the time it required
in preparing the documents Doolittle
gave the entire posse the slip, losing his
horse and taking to the mountains
