A Speedy Challenger.

According to a despatch from South
ampton, English yachtsmen express con-
ndenee that the Shamrock will win the
America cup. This expression of con-
hdence is the outcome of the fine showing
made by the boat on her sail stretching
spin on Saturday, when she developed sur
prising speed. But the American cup
defender is also boat of speed, and may
be depended upon to hold her own in the
great race. Americans, of course, cannot
wish the English yachtsmen success, but
they can and will congratulate them in
having boat which will make the race for
the cup more interesting, and render it
more pleasurable to retain the cup on this
side OF the water.-[ Philadelphia Ledger.

The steamship Queen arrived at Seattle
from the north Tuesday, with the heaviest
gold cargo received this year. The gold
was actually in sight, and it took half a
dozen express wagons to transport it from
the steamer to the assay office and the
banks. There was nearly a ton and half
of the gold in the possession of about 20
Klondikers. The richest man to come out
this year is j. B. Heacock, who brought
1000 pounds of dust, worth $3.50, 000 He
is an old-timer on the Yukon, and the gold
represents the output of a rich Bonanza
claim for two seasons. John Wilkinson of
San Francisco had $4,000. He was the
first man to stake claim ON the famous
Eldorado Creek after George Carmack dis
covered Bonanza. OF the two Eldorado
has proved the richer. Every year Will
kinson brings out a big sack of dust. He
makes heavy investments on the inside.
and will be a millionaire before the claim
runs out. Several others had sums ranging
from $40, 900 to 100000 Three San Fran,
cisco men claim to have broken all records
OF travel from Dawson, by making the trip
from there to Seattle in 10 days. The best
time last year was 20 days.
The biggest cleanup in the history of the
Klondike is over and dust by the ton is
stored in Dawson awaiting shipment by the
lower river. 1t is said that the output will
be double that of last year and many con
hrm the statement that it will surely reach
$50 1000, 900. Much gold from last seasons
output will come out this year. Over SO,

That weeps DER the silent urn
For the love that lives is our hand alert

When life's duties press us soreY
Is our praise as full as if they We're gone.

AS the days go by, are our hands more swift
For trite beyond their share,
