As RICH As THE
kLOND|KE FIELD
Cape Nome Creeks Yield
Big Returns.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 27.-Accord-
inging to news received by the steamer
City of Topeka this morning Messrs.
Sloss and Wilson of the Alaska Com
mercial Company, who are en- route to
Dawson, received letters While at Skag-
uay from representatives of the COM
pany both at Dawson City and st.
Michael confirming the news of the
big strikes reported from the vicinity
of Cape Nome. The St. Michael agent
of the company says the first news of
the strike was brought to st. Michael
in December.
Late in that month";" says the agent
in his letter to Sloss, three tawny-
looking prospectorS came to the settle
ment suddenly and unheralded from
Snake River, the leading waterway of
the new gold fields, which enter
Bering Sea near Cape Nome. They
looked like deadbeatS, and when they
ordered big outfits and no small
amount of provisions l got leery and
wanted to see the color of their money.
They produced without delay, dropping
a bag of dust on the table which must
have contained some $1,000. This, the
trio of miners said, was the product of
a months work and they wanted their
outfits in a hurry to get back to the
district. Day after day miners con-
wonderful tales of lucky finds along
Snake River and it's feeders and all had
the>Sod>to back up their stories.
'It Was not long before the whole
settlement Stampeded and [ went, too,
together with the North American
Trading and Transportation Company S
men. We got in early and staked some
good properties
The letters received from Dawson say
that according to advices received by
the agent of the company there the
whole district in the vicinity of Snake
River is richly studded with gold. Gold
is being found on every creek, and even
along the seashore miners are rocking
out dust and nuggets Great excite
ment prevails all along the lower Yu-
kon and crowds are hurrying to the
new-found placers. Preparations are
being made by the fortunate claim
owners for development. Rows of sluice
boxes are to be seen and numbers of
men are hauling in provisions.
Quite a town has grown already at
the mouth of Snake River. 1t is being
laid out in lots and many buildings are
under way.
The stampede has already hampered
the captains of the river steamers. The
crews deserted and joined the STAN
pede and the companies cannot get men
at any price.
Prospectors at work in the hills to
the north of Boulder Creek, which runs
into Snake River from the north are
reported to be taking out from SIS to
$22 to the pan. The agent says Boulder
more than rivals the richest of the
Klondike creeks. The agent says that
a stampede has begun from Dawson
and the camps on the American side
and more will follow shortly. Num-
bers are awaiting the opening of the
river to float down in small boats.

TRANSPORT SOLACE
HERE FROM MANILA
Brigadier General King Not Passen-
ger on the Vessel as
Reported.

VALLEJO, May 2T.-The naval trans
port Solace arrived at Mare Island this
afternoon at o'clock, having sailed from
Manila on April %. She came via Yo-
kohama and Honolulu and took twenty
six days actual running time, though
Captain A c. Dunlap, her commander,
says the time would have been less had
she been crowded. The run from Hon
olulu was made in eight days. She brings
as passengers Lieutenants Henry Mimett
and M G. Gorgas, Passed Assistant En-
gineer Emory Winship and Assistant PAY
master Lewis Poessel of the navy and
First Lieutenant B. c. Gilbert of the Sixth
United States Artillery. The Solace
stopped off the Mare Island lighthouse
to land Lieutenant Gorgas. whose family
resides there. Paymaster Poessel is the
service.
The Solace carries a complement of
twelve officers and seventy-four men.
Among the officers is Ensign w. T. CIu-
verius, a son-in-law of Admiral Sampson
The vessel has on board a draft of 173
men to be discharged. prisoners for the
naval prison at the barracks and % sick

marines.
The advices from Honolulu that Briga-
dier General Charles King. U. S. A, was
a passenger on the Solace had no foun-
mission for the general to come on his
vessel would have had to be obtained
from Admiral Dewey and that no request
for the purpose was made. He is at a
loss to know how the rumor started.

SAVED BY THE
SUGAR BEET
Pine Lands of Michigan
Put to Use.
MANY ACRES ARE UTILIZED
BONANZA FOR SMALL FARMERS
ON "CUT-OVER" TRACTS.
MANY ACRES ARE UTILIZED
Through Proper Encouragement by
the Legislature the State Prom
ises to Soon Lead in Pro-
ducing Sugar.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LANSING, Mich, May 27.-The Mchi-
gan Legislature has at last solved the
problem of how to utilize thousands Of
acres of cut-oYer pine lands, which con-
stitute a large portion of the State. The
cut-over pine lands have long been an
eyesore to the people of Michigan. The
soil is sandy and poorly adapted to agri-
culture. Farmers who settled in the cut
over country met with little encourage
ment from the sterile soil and thousands
of acres in the lower and upper peninsu-
las are unbroken wastes of tangled un-
derbrush and sapling cedars.
Eight years ago the State founded an
experiment station at Gaylord in the
lower peninsula to ascertain what use
could be made of the waste lands Thou
sands of dollars were spent without re-
suits, and the station was abandoned.
two years ago when the Legislature
passed a bill allowing a bounty for the
production of beet sugar. Experiments
were made all over the State, and it was
found that in the sandy soil of the pine
belt sugar beets grew large and sweet.
The Legislature appropriated $40. 900
bounty for the production of beet sugar,
and if more is needed it may be drawn
from other funds of the State. But one
factory was started after the passage of
the law two years ago. 1t produced
800 900 pounds of sugar last year and re-
ceiVed $58.000 in bOuntieS from the State.
SO profitable did the experiment prove
that eleven factories, none of which is to
cost less than $780, 900, are in process of
construction, and farmers all through the
pine belt are turning their attention to
beet raising.
The State will spend at least $4,000 900 in
bounties in the next two years, and in
four years Michigan will be the. greatest
sugar producing State in the Union.
Farmers of the upper peninsula have
experimental with beet raising. and sugar
beets raised in MenOminee County average
from 16 to IS per cent saccharine. The
law allows l cent a pound bounty on all
beet sugar produced and provides that
factories pay farmers at least 81 ton
for sugar beets averaging ID per cent of
saccharine and 50 cents ton for each ea'
additional per cent of saccharine. This
insures the farmer 81 a ton profit. with a
chance for more, and as the lands yield
sixteen tons to the acre the beet industry
will prove a bonanza to the farmer.
The State will get its money back in
time in taxes. The waste lands in Memo
minee County, which formerly sold for
taxes, have been bought recently in blocks
of 1000 and 1000 acres, and the growth of
the industry will mean a great advance
in the value of Michigan farm lands.

MUCH PROPERTY DESTROYED
PEOPLE SEEK SAFETY IN THEIR
CELLARS.
One Farmer, With His Wife and Son.
Finds Place of Refuge Under
Furrow in a Plowed
Field.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, May 27.-The most disas-
trous cyclone that has visited Nebraska
since the Bradshaw storm, ten years
years ago, circulated between Minden
and Kenesaw shortly after 8 o'clock
last night and destroyed everything in
its path There was no loss of life, as
the people saw the danger in time end
saved themselves by crawling into cy-
clone cellars or by hugging the burrows
in the ploWed ground.
The first damage done was at the
farm of John V Tenant, one mile due
north of Minden. Mr. Tenant, wife
and son saw it coming and ran to the
plowed field, where they buried them
selves in a furrow. IT. had ner
dropped to the ground than the cyclone
struck their home. Their two-story
| house was wrecked and the corn shed
and barn were crushed as if they had
been made of paper.
AT the farm of Joseph Rayer, mile
east, every building was demolished
and all the stock killea. Rayer, his
wife and an infant child took refuge in
cyclone cellar and escaped with a-few
bruises.
Half a mile from Hartwell the cy-
clone struck Peter Bilisbach's farm
and swept everything before it. The
family of four were all injured, but
none seriously
Between Hartwell and Kenesaw John
Mosher's barn and sheds were de-
stroyed and stock '-illed. The town of
Hartwell was also hit and several
buildings wrecked. Between Hartwell
! and KenesaW the country was inun-
dated by a cloudburst, the water rising
five feet along the railroad grade. At
o'clock this morning hailstones were
found in the streets of Xenesaw that
measured over four inches in circum-
! ference.
The path of the cyclone was about
one hundred feet wide and twenty
miles long, but varied in places. Every
thing demolished by the storm is a
total loss, as none of the farmers were
! carving tornado or cyclone insurance.

Fitzsimmons Will Weigh Close to
One Hundred and Seventy

Special Dispatch TO The Call.

NEW YORK, May 27-At the training
quarters of both Fitzsimmons and JEFF

ened and heavier work abandoned for ex-
ercise that will give speed. Bag-punching

ing the work, drop in, stand silent as
rocks till the work is over, then shake
hands and walk away wondering.
There cannot be less doubt that both
men are in as good condition as any two
men who ever fought. The big fellow
from California has done wonders in the
way of work. He has taken flesh off where
it is Of no use and has hardened that
which remains. Still weighing in the
vicinity of 210 pounds, he can do three
miles at a speed which would bother
professional runner, and can tear off the
last hundred yards in close to II seconds.

the assertion that he viii weigh but 15S,

mons has always had people fooled on his
weight, hitherto on the light side. This
time il Will be the other way. He is a
great big man in comparison TO the Fitz-
simmons of two years since.
Fitzsimmons has worked into his pres

DISTRICT FAIR FOR STOCKTON.
Wearied of Waiting for Gage, the Cit
izens Take Action.

STOCKTON, May 27.-Stockton will
have an old-time fair this year 1t was
intended at first to wait until Governor
Gage appointed a new board of agricul-
tural district directors and let them put
their shoulders to the wheel, but as the
time is short the business men decided to
take hold on their own responsibility. An
organization has been effected to lease
the Fair Association property and give
a race meeting and a pavilion exhibit
The organization is officered as follows:
George e. Cats, president; w. c. Neu-
miller, vice president; j. w. Wiley, sec
retary and treasurer. 1t will be known
as the Stockton Driving Club.
Business men will be waited upon at
once for pledges and contributions in or
der that the long neglected track may be
put into condition. and the pavilion re-
paired. Contributions are coming in most
satisfa ctorily. 1t is the intention to Of
fer $4,000 in purses at the track, and to
bring the best horses on the coast here
Arrangements will be made to secure the
old fair dates, which are the third week
in September.
Horsemen all over the country will re-
member the famous kite-shaped track on
which many turf records were won. This
track may be put into condition, but it
is more probable that the circular mile
track will be repaired, as it is not in
quite so dilapidated a condition as the
other.
