John Clifford. who in company
with J. ". Crockett left this city
for :hc new gold fields Of the
Yukon, en- Angus, 9th. 1897. re-
turned Monday, having made
the entire trip from Dawson in
twenty seven days.
Mr.. Cl;fford's description OF tie
country is lntercs ing. and that
he is satisfied with what he found
and with the future of this prac.
tically uudeveloped region is
attested by the fact that he re.
turns, accompanied by his
family, at an early date. He
says the formation is volcanic,
lava being found for hundreds of
miles along the Yukon. and that
ths mineral wealth of the section
has never been half told; that
while gold has been found in the
valley of the Yukon and t'ibu
/ tary streams for q distance of
600 miles below Dawson, the
richest strike yet made is in the
Klondilse proper, on the Cana
, dian side.
Speaking Of the opportunity
Of new corners making u strike,
! he says he considers chances as
good today as ever; that the
country is yet largely uGesplor
ed; that deep ground can be
worked in winter only and shall
low ground in summer.
In speaking Of the weather
I Mr. Clifford ayers that, though
he has seen the tlermometel

He speaks Of the hardy people
who have Hooked TO the new H. k
as a gentlemanly class through
out; that he has never seen ;
''scrap' during his absence anc
that drunken man is SO rare Il:
to be a novelty; true to eact
other, and honorable in dealings
Mr.. Clifford has Is claims, OF
each Of which he must do $500
of work annually. On lis way
out he was accompanied b,
Frank kellersman, Chicago
attorney, who is jointly inter
osted with him in three or fon
claims. They left Dawson O.
March 9TH, the thermometer re-
sistering S. below, and with or
team reached Skaguay on thu
21st. On his arrival here ht
brought with him one dog and ;
tame Tanana tim Der wolf, which
formed a part OF their team OF
the way out.
Mr.. Clifford expects to leave
for the coast about the 18th, talk
ing his family. He will take hi:
eldest son and perhaps Mrs
Clifford in with him, making
arrangements to leave the rest O
his family on the coast. He ha.
evidently done well, a fact which
is pleasing to his many friends

FAVOR D1Az FOR PRESIDENT.
Influential Interests in Mexico Work
 ing for His Reelection.

A dispatch from the City of Mexico says: Two large and influential com- panies of the liberal party are at work organizing clubs to aid the renomina- ton of President Diaz by a great convention of delegates. which will early in the coming year assemble in this city.
 President Diaz clubs have been or ganized in the interior cities. and a large and enthusiastic club has been organized in Yucatan, which parades the streets in American style. The state of Oaxaca, which counts Presi- dent Diaz among it's most illustrious sons, is a unit for his reelection, and strong DiaZ movement exists in the powerful and wealthy state of Jalisco. Several conservative party journals admit that the country requires the continuance of President Diaz in power and give tacit consent to his re-elec- tion, there being in fact a good feeling in the country, attributed to the gen. eral prosperity and the desire to avoid a change.
 The cordial reception Of Minister Ma riscal in the. United States has pro duced a most favorable impression here. as also has Secretary Hays CO., operation with Ambassador Aspiroz i'll the matter of a settlement of the from tier disturbances.

it was during that summer vacation, passed with an enthusiastic cousin. that I caught the fever and once home again, joined the Agassiz association. I never regretted having joined this eX- cellent society.
 The erosion of the shore has made the coast of France gradually recede. The soft chalk cliffs are eaten away and great Assures worn into them. then tons and tons of cliff rock tumble into the sea.
 The chalk cliff contains quantities of fiints. kidney shaped or nodular. but having generally sharp edges. Wee betide ones shoes, scrambling over blocks of chalk with these knife-like edges projecting everywhere. The flints are curiously arranged in layers; the distance between the layers range from three to six feet.
 These fiints are of the nature of chalcedony. resulting from the concen- tration of silica around bodies of or ganic matter in decomposition, the skeletons of which were si.icious, such as the spOnges." says Charles Velain. The color varies from gray to black, some are banded, some light and trans lucent. Many contain hollows filled with crystals. and are then called ge- odes.-The Mineral Collector.

GOING AFTER THE ORE
The Rapid Development of Castle
 Creek District.

The development of the Castle Creek some profitable copper mines in that section. It is a fact that this district has never been developed, and scarcely prospected. Mining men have for years been attracted by the rich out croppings, but it has remained for the more recent explorers to go to the depths of the veins. The base ores are now being penetrated, and in some cases the development has not passed 10 that advanced stage.
 Some of the strongest mining con panies formed during the past year in Arizona are operating in the Caste Greet, district. The Whipsaw company has passcl the prospective stage in de- vel0pment and has a quantity of ore sufficient to warrant the placing of q thirty ton smelter on the properties of the company. The Co1peropolis com pary is going down after the ore, and this seems to be the general bent Of these operating in the district. MT. John Baker is in the city from the Jones copper mine in the Gas la Creek district. He is stopping at the Ford. In conversation with a Repub- iican reporter yesterday morning Mir. Baker said that he was simply pushing development work on the Jones, and a depth of 297 feet had been attained. He said that he proposed to sink to q depth of 600 feet to penetrate t-e hase ores. At the present depth only seep- age water has been encountered. the true water level being deeper down.
 A hoist run by a gasoline engine will be placed on the Jones for deeper sink ing. Gasoline is becoming generally used in the mining districts where wood and water has heretofore retard- ed the development of mines. In the Castle Creek district a gasoline engine is used on the COpperopoiis properties with success, and the adoption of this fuel has materially decreased the cost of deep mining in that section.

GATHERING GINKGo NUTS.
A Fall Fad of the Washington China
 men.

The Chinese laundrymen of Wash ington have been getting up very early these fall mornings in order to go nut ting It is not the chestnuts or the chinquepins which tempt them, though both abound hereabout They have been gathering the crop borne on the ginkgo trees which are used for orna- mental purposes in various parts of the city.
 The home of the ginkgO is Japan and China, and the inhabitants of those countries regard the nuts as a choice article of food. Some of the trees nere were raised from seeds imported thirty years ago, and are just now arriving at full maturity. The fruit looks more like a persimmon than a nut. Its ex- terior is a soft, slimp pulp of a whitish color. and shriveled. When shaken from the trees the fruit falls in a slop- py mass on the ground. The Chinese wash off the pulp, which has a pecu- liar and offensive odor; and the nut, which looks like plum pit. except that it is winter, is cooked before being eat en. The meat is soft and gelatinous and rather insipid. Americans do not take kindly to the nuts, and the fond- ness of the Chinaman for them is cred ited to their association in his mind with memories of his native land
 The ginkgo tree resembles the pop lar in certain respects. It has an es- calloped leaf which adheres until the very latest frosts; then it turns a bright yellow and falls rapidly. The nuts grow close to the branches behind the leaves, each having it's individual stem. The department of agriculture in response to a request from the Van derbilt estate of Biltmore, has sent thither a peck of the nuts, and an ef- fort will be made to grow some of the trees on the estate.-Bnston Transcript

Roberts said Seligman was thirty miles nearer the new mines than Williams and about fifteen miles nearer than Ash Fork, the most desirable route, then. of course, being via Seligman.

Foul
 Catarrh.

Catarrh Is one of the most obstinate diseases, and hence the most difficult to get rid of: :.
 There is but one way to cure it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe- cific cures Catarrh permanently, forit is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood.
 MT. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky, had Catarrh for years. He writes
 q could see no improvement whatever, though l was constantly treated with sprays

BLACK EYE FOR CHAMPAGNE.
Sad Experience of Newfoundland Fish
 ernen With Apollinaris.

On the southwest coast of Newfound- land, about half way between Cape Race and St. Johns, lies the wreck of the Scottish King. She was a British trading steamer, and it is now almost Q year since she was driven in a storm upon that inhOspitable rock bound shore. Tn spite of this catastrophe, however, fortune favored the ship to a considerable degree. Thanks to the precise spot on the coast where she struck. and the marvellous manner in which she slipped in between two pro- tectirg reefs, instead of grinding di- rectly upon them. she still lies with her hull almost intact. At little distance she scarcely resembles a wreck; and. indeed, a plan is now on foot for saving her.
 The fact that she did not go to pieces at once. as most vessels do which have the misfortune to strike that coast line, was Q subject for great rejoicing among the fishermen in the neighbor- ing villages. A most seductive rumor went abroad that she carried large quantities of champagne in her cargo. The Newfoundlander's steady drink. of course, is rum, but he has heard of champagne and it's powers. Nets and hooks were almost abandoned for awhile in the ships vicinity, owing to the more fascinating fishing to be ob- tained in her hold.
 Now, although the fishermen had not heard of it. and would have been no wiser if they had. the Scottish King carried just about as much apollinaris as champagne. and the cases contain ing the mineral water were on top, and hence the more accessible. A glimpse of bottles was quite enough for the Newfoundlanders. The cases of the apcllinaris went merrily ashore, and the sampling began without delay.
 Disillusionment and despair! Where were the virtues of this celebrated drink? Bottle after bottle was pa tiently, gravely disposed of, with no approach to the desired result. One of

WIl() Has C0t0PE'h?
a C0RNlNQ2a- SENSE CURE:

SNSO those who know what Catarrh
 really is. the old-fashioned way
 of treating it, still used by
 thousands who cling to old methods, seems a woeful waste of good energy.
 Catarrh is inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nostrils, throat and air passages.
 It needs soothing. not irritating. The constant hawking, the chok- ing, plugged-up. disagreeable sen- sation of tightuess - troublesome especially iii the early morning, when the cold air contracts the air passages and irritates the inhamed membrane5-is relieved immediate ly by the simple application of

and washes. and differ cnt inhaling remedies in fact. I could feel that each winter 1 was worse than the year previous.
 Finally it was brought to my not ic 2 that Catarrh was a blood disease. and after think ing over the matter. ] saw it was unreasonable
 to expect to be cured by remedies whi oh only reached the surface. 1 then decided to try

That concluded the examination OF
Mr.. Vivian.
c. S. Batterman was next put on the
stand and refused to answer nearly all
the questions asked him. He denied
that any demand whatever had ernr
been made on him by the receiver for
possession of the Boston & Montana
property. Mr.. Mediation asked him how
long he had lived on the LOGO foot level
of the Mountain View mine during the
time the sheriff's officers were looking
for him, and he replied that he hadn't
lived in the mine at all, but he refused
to say where he was.
John F. Forbis. one of the accused at
torneys. was the last witness called by
Mr.. Mediation and he denied that he
advised the officers of the company to
resist the receiVership order of the
court. Mr.. Forbis said he was in Hell
ena on Dec. Is and 16. the days on
which demands We're made by the re-
ceiver for possession of the property.
w. H. Dewitt. another defendant.
was the only witness put on the stand
by the defense. He also was out of
town on Dec. Is and denied that he aG-
Vised any one to resist the courts order.
In making a brief presentation of The
case to the court Mr. Mediation said
the evidence showed conclusively that
the Boston & Montana company, Mr.
Vivian, Mr.. Batterman and Foreman
Davis We're guilty Of contempt Of court
and should be punished. BY evading
the service of the court. he said. Mr.
Batterman was just as guilty as if he
had boldly stood up and defied the or
der of the court. Mr.. Mediation asked
that DunShee, Miles and Davis. fore
men of different mines, be discharged
at once, but the court said they, too
could wait till next Tuesday.
Mr. Scallon, for the defense. made a
few remarks and commended that there
was no evidence against any except The
company and Mr. Vivian. AS to them
he had nothing to say.
