BUSINESS IN ALASKA.
the Mad Rush-New Discov-
cries Being Made.

Captain Dwight Hunt, with two
companions. has been in Hanes this
week. outfittine for a prospecting tour
in the Pofcupine mining district, says
the Porcupine Quill Captain Hunt
and party represent an extensive COM
pany, known as the Jack Crawford
poet and SCOUT party that went to
the Hootalinqua last season over the
Dyea route, equipped with dredgers,
and who have been unsuccessful in the
Yukon and are trying the present sea-
son to retrieve their Ill luck by operat-
ing in the Atlin and Forty. Mile dig
gings in the Yukon. Attracted by ia.
vorable reports from the Porcupine dis
trict, the manager OF the company,
Henry NJ. Wallace, a prominent lawyer
of Ann Arbor, Mich. placed detail
of operators under charge of Captain
Hunt, who is an experienced prospec.
tor, and sent them here TO prosecute
intelligent examination of the quartz
and placer claims in American Alaska
in this vicinity. They are also going
to give special examination of the by.
draulic propositions which are reported
favorable. In event they are success.
full in their search they will bring in a
large outfit this season of modern hy-
draulic machinery and permanently
establish the headquarters of the com.
pany-which have large capital at
their Control-under the Stars and
Stripes, and abandon the Northwest
Territory propositions, where they are
sorely handicapped by unjust discrim-
nations and exactions. The party will
be ready to start early next week, and
are now getting their boats and outfits
over the trail to the Chilcat river.

FIRST VOLUNTEERS.
General Otis Skeleton Regiments viii
BE Filled.

Washington, July 1.-The first vol
unteers to be raised for services in the
Philippines will be those for the skele-
ton regiments now being formed by
General Otis. 1t is not believed there
will be the least difficulty in obtaining
these men.
1t is probable that some time will
elapse before the troops of the provs-
ional army are sent to Manila, but.
meanwhile, they will be drilled and
taught craftsmanship in camp. 1t is
estimated that three months are re-
qulred to make soldiers OF recruits.
The officers OF the war department
think that number of volunteers now
coming home will desire to return to
the Philippines for short service after
they have had an opportunity to see
home and friends. They are regarded
as the most desirable for the regiments
being organized by General Otis.

Since the arrival of samples Of coarse
gold from the placer mines on the Por-
cupine and Mckinley diggings, the
mists Of doubt that have been thrown
over that district by the "grubstakers"
who have done no active work except
to hang around the camp. waiting
for something to turn up" have disap-
peared. and feeling of confidence es-
tablished. In fact. nothing but the
best of reports are being brought in
daily, and if developments continue as
they are now going on there will he a
genuine stampede inside of six weeks.

It is occupied by union miners. was

midnight, and as result the town is
in ruins. The nonunion negroes and
other men employed by Brush at is
mines near Fredona having become
Tazed over the killing OF the yoman
yesterday, went to the camp, which
consists of nine houses, and opened fire
IN them, which was at once returned.
The battle ragged until the union
miners ran from their homes and took
refuge in clump of timber close to
the village. The nonunion men at
once applied the torch to the houses,
and all were burned to the ground.
After the men had destroyed consider
able property previously occupied by
the union men, they moved on the
woods. and until daylight the fusillade
was kept up. No lives have SO far been
reported lost.

Hay Crop In Fine Condition.

Reports from all over Oregon re-
seived at the weather bureau indicate
that the hay cfop of the state is in fine
condition. In fact, many declare that
IL was never better. 1t is late in most
localities. but it il good everywhere.
The recent rains have not injured the
crop to any noticeable extent. Har-
vesting had already begun when the
rains came, but the wet weather did
not last long enough nor was the rain
fall sufficient to hurt the hay that been
cut. The only effect it had was to de-
lay harvesting, which is already late.

GOING TO TAKE STRIKERS JOBS


Murphysboro. H., July 3.-At 9
O'Clock this morning, Conductor Will
liam Rryan's train on the johnson City
branch of the Illinois Central, bearing
AZ negro miners from Pana, was shot
into By crowd OF miners at Lawder,
in Williamson county. One negro wo-
man was killed by bullet through her
heart. The negroes were brought by
Sam I. Bush, superintendent of the St.
Louis Big Muddy mines, near Carriers
vile, to work in his mine there, where
there is now strike.
The miners, 80 in number, were
armed with rifles and were hidden in
the grass behind the company depot.
When the train stopped the leader, an
Italian, got on the platform and COM
manded the negroes to get out. Con-
ductor Bryan interfered. but was
stopped by revolver in his face. The
train began to move and the miners
poured in witheriEg fire. Conductor
Bryan yelled to the negroes to throw
themselves on the floor.
Half mile further on the negroes
were unloaded and placed under charge
of guards. They were then marched
to the mine.
Intense excitement prevails in the
Cartervile coal field. and bloody riots
are expected, as the feeling has been
intense for weeks.

Excitement Runs High.

Mr., Cole. the mai agent for Porcu-
pine City, brought down on his last
TIP a small pile of gold dust taken
from claim No. above Discovery, on
Porcupine creek. 1t was the partial
output of the first washout by the use
of a sluicebox on that claim, and was
sold to S. Weitzman for $50. Mr.. Cole
says the miners on Mckinley and Por-
cupine creeks are just beginning TO
take out gold, and the field soon will
astonish the nations. The water is
quite high, and only the elevated rim
rock can be worked, but as the work
progresses the claims are growing rich
er. excitement is running high and
daily arrivals of prospectors are large.

skagway Future Mining Center.

There is now every prospect that
Skagway's future as a great mining
cenetr is assured. if all the reports that
keep coming in in regard to new dis
coveries of quartz in this vicinity are
true. Old prospectors have been at
work for long time on the hills east
Of the city, but have kept their opera
lions SO very quiet that only a limited
few knew anything about it. When
ever these men were cornered they
would make general denial OF having
made any find.

the two armies at San Fernando seems
inevitable soon. The insurgents are
active all around the town, and can be
seen working in the trenches to
strengthen their position. Day and
night forces are at work.
1t is estimated that 5000 men were

lenses, expecting an attack. The SOL
diers sleep in their clothes and break
fast at o'clock in the morning. so AS to
be ready for an assault.
The commission of three Spanish
officers who entered the insurgent lines
q fortnight ago to make a final attempt
TO arrange for the release OF the Span

long absence has occasioned alarm. but
reports come to Manila that they were
received by Aguinaldo at Tarlac and
entertained Hospitality. 1t is said that
Aguinaldo gave banquet in their
honor, all the leading families Of the
rebel leaders of the present cabinet at

EXCL USION A BLESSING.
Americans Benefited by Having Been
Kept Out OF Atlin.


Seattle. July 3.-Advices from Atlin
mining district are to the effect that
Judge Irving, who was sent into the
district by the British Columbia gov
eminent to straighten out the tangle
caused by the alien exclusion act, has
arrived there and has already settled
many disputes over locations. He has
decided that the orginial stakes, located
before the passage of the exclusion act,
shall stand. whether the locators are
Americans or Canadians.
Russ Humber, of Victoria, late ar
rival, says: "The condition of affairs
in Atlin is very serious. Nearly $500
men are in the district doing nothing.
Many have run out of provisions and
money. Only few of the claims are

Peace VIII Follow Victory in the Philip
pines Says Schurman.


Manila, July 5.-Professor J. G.
Schurman, of the Unitde States advis-
Dry commission for the Philippines, re.
turned to Manila today from a three
weeks trip in the southern islands.
He takes an entirely hopeful view of
the conditions there. The intelligent
and substantial citizens desire an
American protectorate. The masses
are awaiting the settlement of the war
in the island of Luzon before declaring
themselves. They are chiefly anxious
to be undisturbed. The president of
the town of Santo Nicolas, in the island
Of Cebu, said to Mr.. Schurman:
"We want peace, food and prosper
ity. We do not wish to fight. We
would be neutral.
The president Of the commission
thinks this declaration fairly expresses
the sentiments of the people in the
southern islands of the archipelago.
Many of the towns there are in the
hands Of small bands of Tagals, and
the people fear to indorse American
rule until they are certain that Aguin-
aldo must he beaten. Let them once
be convinced of this, and the allegiance
Of the southern islands, Mr.. Schurman
shlnks can be secured by diplomacy.
