NO FURTHER CONCESSIONS.
The Government Does Not Con EN-
plate any Abatement in its
Claims to Frontier Territory.

Washington, July S.-Following the
rule governing diplomatic exchange,
the state department absolutely re-
fuses to make public the latest in
structions sent to Mr.. Choate respect
ing the modus vivendi. However, it
can be stated that they do not con-
template any abatement in the claims
of the United States as TO the terri
tory to be included in the provisional
boundary line, and In general they
look to persistence in the original
proposition on our part.
1t is the belief now that the two
governments have come to a point
where it must be admitted that their
present representatives must abandon
their efforts to agree among them
selves upon a boundary line, even
though the latter be but temporary
and subject to correction by subse-
quent negotiation. Whether or not ar
bitratiOn will be the dernier resort
can not be foretold; at present that
means has not been offered in such
shape as to be acceptable to our gov
eminent. and it is feared that the eff
fort to arrange the limitations of an
arbitra ton would be beset with as
grave difficulties as those in the way
of direct negotiation.

Big Nuggets Among the Seasons
Results.

Tacoma, Wash, July 9.-Dr. L. O.
Wilcoxson, of Chicago, who has arrived
from Dawson, brings authentic news
of an enormous cleanup that took
place in the first half of June, pack
trains arriving at Dawson daily from
Bonanza, Eldorado, bunker and Sui
phur creeks, each bringing in 100000
to S1,500,00 in dust. The big pack tram
made several trips from Prof. Lippey's
claim on Eldorado, which produced
two tons of gold dust.
Some Big Nuggets.
The largest nuggets yet found in the
Klondike were discovered during the
cleanup. One from Claim 4, below on
Bonanza, weighed 6OA ounces, and
was valued at s96s. A still larger one,
but impregnated with quartz, was
found on Gold Hill. 1t weighed LOG
ounces, and is valued at S1,S04.
Steamers were leaving Dawson al
most daily for ST. Michaels bearing
rich Klondikers and their dust. The
steamer Robert Kerr, leaving Dawson
on June 20, carried over $3,OOO,OO0.
Millions Coming From st. Michael$.
He thinks that $5,OOO,OOO and their
owners will arrive on the first steam
ers from ST. Michaels.
Coming out of Wilcoxson learned of
two important discoveries, one on
Thirty Mile river, where So per pan
was found, and the other on Big Sal
mon river, where the winters dumps
averaged $3s per day per man. Will
coNson goes home, but will return
north in August.
