FROM RICH CAPE NOME.
A Crowd of Alaska Miners In Town
Yesterday,

A crowd of Alaska gold hunters
passed through the city yesterday.
There were sixteen in the party, and
they occupied a special car, which vas
supplied them at Seattle, where they
landed after their voyage from the
Arctic territory
One of the party came from the
klondike, while others came out of the
diggings of Cape Nome. Frank ]. Tous-
SAINT, who was among the number max
ing up the party, went to Cape Nome
last spring TO manage mining enter
prise there for a Milwaukee syndicate.
When he went into the diggings he took
a party of men to operate a large
dredge along the beach, and is just
returning from a very successful sea-
son.
Cape Nome is the greatest poor
mans country / ever saw" said Mr..
Toussaint yesterday. 81 travelled along
the shores of the ocean for a distance
OF tnirty-five miles from Nome, and
anywhere along the shore 1 found men
at work taking out anywhere from 81
to SIS day.
Gold can be found anywhere from
Cape Nome to the foothills of the
mountains, a distance of about three
miles. Considerable mining with sluice
boxes is going on there, and the water

sea- Where preparations are made for
it one man can easily take out from
$50 to $500 a day.
THE season for mining in the coun-
try lasts a trifle under four months in
the year-then everything freezes ur
and nothing can be done"
Mr.. Toussaint says the camp had
population of fully $500 during the
latter part of the season, large por-
ton of which came down from Dawson
City and the Klondike. He expects &c
hear of a great deal of suffering in the
country this winter. The supply of fooc
was very limited when he left anc
many who wanted to come out to the
states could not get passage on the
all of those coming out be-
ing overcrowded. St Michael is the
nearest source of supplies, but the
amount found there is only limited.
The country is as barren as a desert,
the gentleman stated, and extremely
to winter in. The only
fuel that can be gotten is drift wood,
which is gathered up along the shores.
The exposure to which men are sub
jected is the cause of a great deal of
sickness.
Mr.. Toussaint said the party with
him came out with about 100000 in
dust. Nearly all of them expect to re-
turn to the diggings in the spring, and
have already engaged their steamer
accommodations at Seattle.

TWO NEW BRIGADIERS.
Death of General Henry VIII Pro-
mote Lawton and Macarthur.

New York, Oct. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: BY the
death of General Guy V. Henry, the
president has the appointment of an
other brigadier general in the regular
army He will thus be able to reward
Major Generals Lawton and MacAr-
thur.
1t is expected that the appointments
will be made in the order named, so
that General Lawton will have prece-
dence over General Macarthur. 1t is
said at the war department, however,
that no appointments for either the
regular or volunteer army will be an
nounced for several days.
The command of the department of
the Missouri. left vacant by the death
of General Henry. will fall to General
Merriam. As matter of fact, General
Merriam is now in command of the de-
partment, as well as the department
Of the Colorado. 1t is the intention to
keep him in this dual command indefi-
nitely, for the reason that by the APP
pointments of Generals Lawton and
Macarthur, there will be no one avail
able to take command of the depart
ment of Missouri.
General Henry, although assigned to
that command, had not, owing to ill
ness, been able to assume the duties.

Says Volunteer Troops We're Not
Compelled to Beg Food at Ogden.

Washington. Oct. 3S.-General Shat
ter at San Francisco has teIegraphed
the war department as follows in re-
gard TO an examination which was
instituted by him into a published re-
port that the Forty-sixth infantry had
not been properly supplied with food,
and had been compelled to beg on their
trip to San Francisco:
Have had thorough investigation by
Colonel Maus in reference to complaints
of members of Forty-siNth volunteers
begging at Ogden and complaining of
food. Commanding ctficers of each Sec
ton say this is untrue; that men We're
not permitted to struggle from train
Possible, of course, that some men may
have escaped vigilance of their officers
and made complaints.
Colonel states he started with ten
days travel rations, with car for hot
coffee on each section; that he was
eleven days in reaching here. delay

In response to his telegram I sent him

Yesterday a contract was entered
into between Charles Ford, the we'll
known nillwright, and the Young
America. Gold Mining company, where
by that gentleman agrees TO supeTin-
tend the construction of a ten-stamp
mill at the company's mines, Tusca
rora, New, and on Wednesday next he
viii leave for the purpose of getting
work started.
The Young America. is proving to be
a most sensational proposition, for ii
is not often that six months work on a
new mine brings development to such
a stage that a milling plant is fully
justified. 1t was stated in these col
umns a few weeks ago that the shaft
was being sent down for the purpose
of catching what is termed the Poor
man ledge. That has now been ac-
coInplished and the last thirty feet of
the 200-foot hole was sunk in the vein.
A station has been cut at this point
and a cross-cut shows the ore body to
be over thirty feet wide, the last five
feet of which was found to be nearly
rich enough to ship without milling.
superintendent r. l.. Andrew is justly
proud of the record the mine is making,
and if future operations prove up as big
as past work has done the Dexter will

Sales Aggregated 2o6,275 Shares,
Amounting to SOS, 476.24.

The week closed with the condition
of the mining stock market very en-
couraging. There was a better feeling
among brokers yesterday and all
seemed to join in the opinion that there
are better times ahead. There has
been considerable disappointment that
change for the better has not come
before this, but there is a general be-
lief that the worst is over and that
there will be an Improvement from now
on.
The volume of sales has been fairly
good during the past week and the
principal trading has been confined to
the better class of securities.
Little attention has been paid to the
low priced stocks for some time, but
those will probably be in demand dur
ing the winter months among the
smaller investors.
Several sensations were spring dur
ing the week Yankee Consolidated
went on the boom and made an ad-
vance of about II cents. The gains
We're lost, or practically so. at the
close of business last night. The raise
was caused by an effort to squeeze"
a certain lot of brokers who had sold
short. There were also reports of a
strike in the mine, but those were
greatly exaggerated.
Lower Mammoth also sprung a sur
prise and went up to handsome prices
for like causes. DAILY also recorded a
big advance, but no one seems to
know any reason for the change. DAILY
West has kept up we'll and closed in
good condition. Mammoth did not
lose any of its strength, but was helped
by. the posting of the regular dividend.
Ontario and all Park City stocks
seem to be in better shape and a gen
eral season of activity seems assured

Petro is still down and La RENE has
suffered reverses for no apparent
reason. The development of the mine
is going along steadily, showing new
bodies of ore.

NEW PROCESS FOR METAL ORE
LIQUID AIR COMPANY CLAIMS
BIG DISCOVERY.
Concern In Which Frank j. Cannon
Is Interested Propose Revolution
In Mining Industry.
lSnecial to The Herald.l

New York, Oct 2S.-The Liquir Air COM
pany is placing it's stock rapidly on the
market. Incorporated recently, the com
pany issued its prospectus, and it claims
to have an entirely new process of treat
ing precious metal ore by which it will be
possible to work profitably Mining prop
critics which cannot now be profitably
worked by the usual and known process.
It's first field of operation will be in the
Adirondacks, where the company has ac-
CURED forty acres of placer sands. The
company claims that with its new process
it will take out $17, 500, 900 from this prop
erty at the cost of $7,500,000. leaving net
profit of $10,O00,0 900. The figures, the of
ficials of the company say, are the result
mostly of assay and will run the tests with
the gold bearing sands of their property.
1t is also claimed that by this new pro-
cess 80 per cent of gold can be secured.
The process to be used makes no use of
liquid air. but is a development of mer-
curial solution. the projectors say it will
eventually be introduced in the mining
field of the west.

TUsCARoRA LITIGATION.
Amicable Agreement Reached Be-
tween All Parties Concerned.

tween All Parties Concerned
An arrangement was perfected yes
terday for a settlement of the litiga-
ton which has been pending in the
courts for several years against the
Tuscarora Gold Mining company The
company is the owner of a group of
eleven claims located between the Dex-
ter and the property of the Young
America Mining company at Tuscarora,
New. The Tuscarora people undertook
to get patents for the ground, and
when steps were taken in that direc-
ton multitude of protests We're filed
in the land Office against the issuance
of those documents. Several cases We're
settled, but up to yesterday there were
seven pending, which had to be settled
up before the patents would be released
from the land office.
Attorney L. S. Harrington. repre-
senting the contestants in the litigation.
arrived in the city few DAYS ago and
opened negotiations for a settlement of
the cases out of court. Several confer
ences were had with the Tuscarora di-
recUors, and yesterday afternoon all
agreed TO an amicable settlement of the
difficulty, an arrangement being made
to pay the contestants a certain sum
for their dismissal of the cases the
amount of which could not be learned.

freed from litigation, steps will be ia

LITTLE P1TTsBURG MOVEMENT.
Big Order Received From Mercur
Starts the Stock Upwards.

Quite a little excitement was created
yesterday afternoon when the report
was spread about the streets that some
important developments had been made
at the Little Pittsburg mine on Lion
hill, Mercur. An order came in from
Mercur late in the afternoon to certain
brokers here to buy a large block of
the stock. Just where the order came
from could not be definitely learned,
but from authentic sources it was stat
ed that the orders came partly from
parties working at the mine. AS a re-
suit of the demand the stock stiffened
up considerably. and brokers were Of
fering 2 cents above the closing quota
tions on the stock exchange. Manager
Richard Guenther. jr., was seen last
night and said the mine was looking
better than ever, and the ore bodies
had opened up to such an extent to jus
tify the erection of a new milling plant.
Work has been pushed very vigorously
of late on the silver and gold veins,
and in the latter values running from So
to Sc in gold have been obtained, which
is considered a capital cyaniding propo-
sition.

Robinson, Oct 2S-Quite a bit of in
terest has been awakened in the Eu-
reka-Swansea Extension ground, over
the material change in the bottcm of
their shaftway, now down go feet
From the surface the workings have
been continuously in blue lime, with
one or two exceptions, when ouanti-
ties of crystallization and feldspar
would set in. For the past three or
four days the bottom of the hole has
shown three-foot body of reddish
brown iron quartz quite similar in ap-
pearance to that found in the Eagle &
Blue Bell, from which the foreman, Mr..
Allen. has obtained some values, the
best yielding 500 gold and As per cent

of which Messrs. Clesson S. Kinney
and Richard B. Shepard are large own
ers. owns piece of ground comprising
eight full claims adjoining the Bullion
Beck on the south, a part of which lies
almost in the townsite of Robinson.
1t is almost impossible to make any
accurate estimate how much good
would follow an important strike in this
ground, not only to the owners, but
this particular locality. Looking at the
stuff coming out of the shaft today, no
one has any license to pronounce adj

Phoebe Record: After doing a consider
able amount of dead work, Lloyd and
Cook at the Poorman mine are in ore
again. They will be ready to ship next

proceeds of one pocket of ore have usual

Phoebe Record: Duncan Mcdonald was
in from the Deerlodge section on Mon
day. He reports that the work in which
he is engaged for McCune & Co., at the
Pixies Diggings section of the district, is
showing up about as was expected, and
that if the mines go down. there is bound
to be a big camp there and that to prove
whether the ores continue downward for
any depth or not, the present hackers are
evidently ready etoa expend considerable
money. Thus, 1900 ought to satisfy us
whether the section generally is to come
OUT or not.
