GOBBLE UP ALL GOOD CLAIMS
CLIQUE FORMED OF FEDERAL
OFFICIALS IN ALASKA.
Miners Wrought Up to High Pitch,
and Protests Are Sent to Wash
ington Against Practice.

Seattle, Wash, July 26.-Advices re-
ceived today on the steamer ElihV
Thompson from ST. Michael, indicate
that the miners of Cape Nome and An
vii City are wrought up to a high pitch
| on account of the-action of United
States Commissioner Shepard backed
by the United States soldiers. A min
ers' meeting of nearly 1000 men was
dispersed on the night of the 10th by a
| lieutenant and a squad of soldiers, on
the ground that they were not prop
erty-OWnerS.
The meeting had been called regu-
larry after five days notice, to protest
against the policy that has been fol-
lowed in locating claims. The miners
declared that a Clique or ring had been
formed to gobble up all the good prop
critics in the country.
1t is charged by miners who came on
the Thompson today that the machin-
cry of the federal government on the
Yukon has been turned to these illegal
practices. They say that some of the
Laplanders who were sent up there
under five years contract by the gov
eminent have, since arriving. been nat
uralized and claims staked in their
names. Even the reindeer which these
Laplanders were hired to take care of
the country to mark the claim boun-
daries for the members of the ring.
The miners were signing a protest
which is to be forwarded, one copy to
Sitka to the federal authorities, and
another copy to Washington. The pro-
test alleges that the officials at St
Michael are conducting the affairs Of
the government to their own selfish
ends.
While raIa tiopS hafu-eap tho ,,,ipar-
and officials are at a high tension,
there has been no desire shown to re-
sort to force, and no serious trouble is
The conditions are in such
a confused shape that nothing is being
done. Hundreds of contests have been
filed, but that is as far as the men can
go. The rich claims on Anvil creek and
Snow gulch have been filed on three
and four times over. Men are afraid
TO prospect. because they say if one
should strike anything he would not be
able to hold the claim.

GoULDS LOSE CONTROL.
st. Louis Southwestern Absorbed By
the Chicago & Eastern Illinois.

New York, July 26.-The Journal and
Advertiser says: The Goulds are un-
derstood no longer to have control of
the ST. Louis Southwestern railroad. 1t
lis stated reliably that banking houses
/ Identified to some extent with the Chi
| cago & Eastern Illinois now hold a ma
! jority interest in the property. Most of
the improvements which have been re-
Gently made in the way of new equip
ment, heavier rails and better roadbed,
have been at the instance of the new
interest now in control. The payment
of the interest on the second income
! bonds was forced by the present con-
| trolling element, very much against the
wishes of the Goulds, who prefer to
| keep the money in the treasury. Edwin
Gould retains the presidency. but is no
| longer the active manager of the prop
erty. which work now devolves upon
! the vice president and general man
ager. who was formerly with the Great
Northern. and who practically revolu-
tioniZed the business in the property.
The connecting line of about eighty
seven miles which will run from the
northern terminus of the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois will, ii is expected, he
completed within about thirty days.
When this is actually finished, through
trains can be operated from Chicago to
the gulf over a shorter route than any
except the Illinois Central, which. how
ever, has the disadvantage of not hav
ing as good port facilities as can be
offered by the Southwestern. With the
train mileage question the predominant
feature of modern railroading, the new
line will be particularly well equipped. |
as the improvements on the Southwest
ern have brought that line up to date"
enabling the running of the heavy loco |
motives and cars of the Eastern Illi- |
nois over the entire line. 1t is author |
itatively stated that the Rock Island /
system does not figure in the new |
deal.

MORE DEATHS REPORTED.
Twenty-Five to Fifty Prospector!

Seattle, Wash, July 26.-Two steam
ers the Elihu Thompson and Lakme ar
rived from st. Michaels, Alaska today
with 500 miners. They brought "a small

party of twenty-eight Bostonians who
wintered al Arctic City, was a pas
senger on the Elihu Thompson. He
says between twenty-five and fifty
prospectors were drowned in the
Kowak river last season. Their names
were unknown to him.
No gold was found on the Kowak.
At Beaver 300 miles north of Arctic
