Good item for Immigrants.

Dickinson Press: There are many
examples of real thrift in Stark county.
Take William Hummell Of Gladstone,
for instance, who came to this state
from South Dakota in 1894 a poor man.
After landing his family in Dickinson he
had only o cents in his pocket. He is
now worth $4,000 or 5000. To get a
start here he worked for Is cents an
hour at anything he could get to do; the
second season in the county he got a
chance to work on a ranch and so got
acquainted with the stock business, and
now has a good bunch of his own.

A Racy Divorce Suit.

The Fargo Call publishes the follow
ing regarding a divorce suit, the princi-
pals in which resided for a time in the
city: The Sterling divorce case is to be
given an airing at the coming Fargo
term of the supreme court, on an appeal
from an order of the district court set
ting aside the decree Of divorce granted
several years ago. Both the principals
in the case are now here, Sterling arriv-
ing from San Francisco yesterday morn
ing.
Sterling came to Fargo a number of
years ago, and after acquiring a resi-
dence, secured a decree of divorce. Mrs.
Sterling afterwards appeared on the
scene and had the case rezopened on the
ground of fraud, which resulted in the
decree of divorce being set aside, from
which order Sterling appealed.
The Sterling case is said to be one of
the most racy ever tried in North
Dakota, and some of the letters sub
mitted in evidence in behalf of Mrs.
Sterling are certainly warm numbers.
Sterling is said to have been intimate
with a married woman living in San
Francisco, and was SO indiscreet as to
put his burning love on paper, using ex-
pressions that should not have been
addressed to another mans wife. The
San Francisco woman was drowned
while enjoying an ocean pleasure trip,
and after her death these letters of Ster-
ling came into the possession of the
wronged husband.
And he didn't do a thing but take the
first train for North Dakota, and on his
arrival here he lodged a complaint
against Sterling for sending obscene
matter through the mails, which cost
the gentleman q cool $500. The letters
afterwards came into the hands Of Mrs.
Sterling and are being used by her in
fighting her husbands divorce proceed
ings.
The case will furnish some spicy
reading when it is heard.

A GRuEsoME PROCEEDING.
Rival coroners Settle a Dispute Over
Jurisdiction by an Act of De-
c~apitation.

A Crookston telegram says: A pecu-
liar proceeding has come to light in con-
nection with the violent death of ex-
Deputy George Bates, which occurred at
st. Vincent, and is ascribed to John
Smith, a saloonkeeper of that. place. At
ter the trouble, which occurred neal
Smiths saloon in st. Vincent. a livery
man took Bates to his home at Pembina,
and dumped him into the house without
notifying the family. The following
morning he was found dead by his wife.
The matter was reported at st. Vim.
cent, and Coroner Lockwood of Kittson
county was notified. He proceeded to
Pembina, which is across the Red river
in North Dakota, to secure the remains
and bring them to Minnesota to conduct
the inquest.
On arrival at Pembina, he found DR..
Erskine, the coroner on that side of the
river, in charge, and about to hold an in
quest. The latter held that as the man
had been found dead in his bailiwick he
was clearly his corpse.
The Minnesota officer argued that as
the death blow had been delivered in
Minnesota, it was clearly his duty to in
vestigate the case on this side of the
river where the accused, Smith, would
have to be tried.
The argument waxed warm for a time,
but a compromise was finally effected.
They concluded to divide the corpse and
the responsibility. North Dakota should
keep the body, and Minnesota have the
mans head.
Accordingly that member was severed
from the body in a neat and workman
like manner, both coroners being sur
geons. Wrapping it up in a newspaper,
DR.. Lockwood gravely sealed the knot on
the string with red sealing wax, giving it
quite an official look, and proceeded to
st. Vincent, where, after the legal form
alities we're gone through with, the last
chapter in this serio.comic drama was
enacted.
This consisted in securing a kettle
sufficiently large, into which the head
was placed, together with a quantity of
caustic soda and water, and the boiling
process employed to remove the flesh
from the skull, which is to he used as an
exhibit in the evidence at the trial. The
gruesome news of this act failed to i'm
press the coroner as forcibly as it did
some others, who, it is said, declined the
proffered invitation to witness the act,
although urged to do so.
Later the skull was taken to Hallock
where it was exhibited before the grand
jury. Judge Wells adjourned the dis.
trict court until the Doth to try the case
Smith, the accused, furnished $4,000
bonds and is now at liberty.

Efforts at Combine Said to
 Have Failed.
FLEET OF SCOWS BUILT
Result of Steamers Failing Earlier Announce Freight Rates 10 the
 Yukon-Captain Baiiey Quotes FIfty Dollars for Passengers nnd

It would appear from reports that are coming out from Bennett that the several steamboat companies have made a mistake in not earlier announcing their freight rates. The result of this delay has been that large fleet of seows has been built that will take down the Yukon the bulk of the freight and passengers as soon as viga. tion opens.
 The foregoing information was brought In by gentlemen who reached Skagway last evening from White Horse Rapids and who, owing to the soft condition of the trail, had great difficulty in getting through, breaking through the ice several times and losing one horse as the result of 1t.
 This gentleman left Bennett yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, got to Log Cabin at noon for lunch, reached the summit at { o'clock and made Skagway by in the evening. He rteounts this for the benefit of the eroakers who are claiming that the trail between the summit an Bennett was impossible.
 From the condition of the Ice on Lake Bennett, which Is becoming very rotten, he believes that boats will get away b:tween the 2d and 5th of June. It showed all of Thursday night, but disappeared by To yesterday morning, leaving the velther milder in consequence.
 Speaking of the coming steambo it traffic this gentleman said that the attempt to establish rates to Dawson between the steamboat men had evidently failed. He had 1t from Captain Bailey. of the s. s. Bailey. that the captain Is not cutting rates but thu he had established rates. He Is now quoting sso to Dawson, exclusive of berthS and meals for passengers and a cent rate tor freight. His boat will be launched tomorrow (Sunday) and he will be ready to sail the moment the lakes open.
 It Is reported that the Clifford Sifton will follow suit in regard 10 rates.
 Alec Mcdonald will not use the steamers but has had seven seows built to take down his men and freight. The Parsons Produce Company also has had several seows constructed for their goods.
 Both the tramways at the White Horse Rapids are in good shape for business. The Hepburn tram has been extended to-  ward Bennett fully mile and has now frSt.elass landing. It Is also being ex. tended al the other end to where the Dom. vile and other boats are tied up.
 Three buoys have been put down to mark the channel at Carboo Crossing and the government is now at work removing rocks from the channel on this side of Tagish.
 The DAILY ALASKAN will be advised at least twenty-four hours before the first steamer sails after the Ice breaks.

LATEST FROM BURRO
 CREEK ACROSS BAY Good Reports From Miners
 at Work.
SINKING TO BEDROCK
Ed Ward and c. C. Lemons Claim to Have Good Pay Dir.-Fiour Gold that wiII Pay Ninety Cents to the Cubic Yard.-Others at Work Prospecting.

Buuo or Minnie or Clark creek, which ever name 'it may finally be chrlstened with, across the bay from Skagwav. prom Ses to furnish lively mining camp, placer and quartz, fl only one-halt the re- ports sent out from there can be relied upon as facts. The center of attraction just now appears to be in discovery claim, located three and half miles from the mouth of the creek, and owned by C. G. Lemons and Ed Ward. These two men have eamped on the claim for the summer, evidently determined to find out just what the claim is worth. Mr. Lemons was in town yesterday and reported progress on the work. He says that they hove al- ready sunk three holes on the claim; one oH feet deep, another AZ feet and the third about feet deep. Bedrock has not vet been reached in the oH-foot hole, but an assay cf the gravel gave as a result flour gold that will run 90 cent to the square yard. lt is claimed by experts that 2s cents to the yard will pay the working so that 90 cents is considered "GoOd dirt"
 In the second hole. located In another pait of the claim, they found flake gold in quantity to justify an estimate of from SI,7s to 8 per square yard. The third hole Is not down deey enough to say much for beyond the fact that they found small pieces of gold-bearlng quartz.
 The men have been hard at work on sluice boxes and already have fifty'five feet of them ready for work, with dump box designed by Mr. Lemons who has added an attachment for the catching and throwing out the eoarser gravel.
 The energetic efforts making by Lemons and Ward in developing their claim hts in' duced others to follow their example and several parties are said to have started pro peeting. A claim a short distance from discovery is being worked by two Norweglans who are reported to have found coarse gold in hard pan, which ln- creases the labor and cost of taking It out. as they have been eompell'd to use powder to blow it out.
 There Is fear that th' lack of water will render it impossible to work this creek in summer, though if found to be rich enough 1t will be good all winter dig. gngs.
 Several parties who have staked below discovery are contemplating commencing operatl ms In order 10 determine the value Of their holdings.
 Good quartz Is also reported as having been found in there.

A Discovery that Promises
 Rich Results.
EAST SIDE OF THE TOWN
We'll Defined PorphrY Dyke Run- ming Parallel wIth Railroad, In which Gold iS Visible to the Na- ked Eye.-R. H. Brown, m old 1omstock Miner, Also Makes n Discovery.

A discovery of rich goId'bearing quartz has been made on the side of the hill east of Skagway which. if all reports of it are true, will make Skagway a lively mining camp within a very short time.
 For several weeks a party has been camping in the Moore tract waiting for the snow to melt so that they might get into the gold fields of the Porcupine district. This party came from Everett, Wlsh., and consists of H. Leaman, c. H. May, w. H. Jones and A. A. Kim. While waiting for the opening of navigation they have been cutting wood and selling it to meet expenses.
 During their rambles over the surround. ing hills east of Skagway, they discovered well-defned porphyry dyke running parallel with the railroad, but for awhile considered the rock as worthless u,.til they showed some of t to R: n. Brown, an old COmstoek miner of Virginia City of forty years standing. Mr. Browns experienced eye at once recognized its value and un- hesltatingly he pronounced it rich dis eovery of free-bearng rock.
 Mr. Brown, by the way, has for over six months been at work on this same side hill. digging into the face of the cliff in search of what he was certain he would eventually find. He has been tn. butt of ridieule to everybody in town, but when he struck fine Assure vein he felt satisfied 10 let them laugh at him all they wanted. This vein of Mr. Browns in no way af- fects the vein struck by Messrs. Leaman & Co.,, which runs north and south while Browns runs east q nd west and will trosS' cut the former ledge somewhere near the south cropping.
 Mr. Browr, ]. J. Walter and Conrad Aubel have become members of the com pany and so far the vein has been traced for nearly a mile. The company has To- cated about 1000 feet of the ledge.
 Where the blanket appears tne ledge IS about I2 feet thick and increases in places to 20 feet. In some places along the cliff It stands out above the granite and trap wall s feet.
 In some places the gold can be seen with the naked eye, and under glass the rock seems thcl ly peppered with the vel low metal.
 By strange coincidence all the men in the combination are Methodists, so thev have called the mines The Wesley mines. Discovery is called the "!ohn Wesev," No. 2 Is the "Charles Wesley" while No. } Is Susanna Wesley"
 Further developments will be eagerly looked for.
