SACRAMENTANS IN CLOVER
HAVE GOOD CLAIMS IN THE
ATLIN COUNTRY.
Frank Zanazzi Predicts the Biggest
Gold Discoveries Ever
Known.

F. ]. Thomas an employe of the
railroad company in this city, is IN
receipt of. the following letter from
his mining partner, Frank Zanazzi,
who is in the Atlin District, British
Columbia:
Lake Attn (B. CO., April 26, 1899.
Dear Friend Frank: 1 will write you
a few hines to inform you that we are
working all our claims, which are sew
en- in number. We have a syndicate
here, composed of seven capitalists.
One of our claims is paying big. These
men chat is, those capitalists who
form the syndicate) have offered US
So, 600 for this one claim.
I now want your advice. What shall
] do? They are very anxious for this
claim. 1 think it best to hold it for a
better price, as we have others just
as rich, but 1 will do as you say.
We will commence to do our wash
ing about June 10th or 18th. AS soon
as the slush is off Of the trail I will
commence running my pack trains of
oxen, which are sixteen yoke in num-
Der, from Lake Atlin to the Big Sal
mon River. AS travel is heavy and
people so numerous, there is a fortune
good luck with them They are all
alive and in good condition.
As there is big boom at the head
waters of the Big Salmon River, the
people are all waiting for the slush to
dry on the trail so they can go there,
as it is very rich. So, about June I
will commence with my train of oxen
TO take them from Lake Atlin to the
Big Salmon River.
L will have men in charge to handle
them, as there will be a great rush.
/ am paying my men at present 81 a
day. No doubt there will be the rich
est gold strike in this country that
has ever been known I thought of
going home about September, but ow-
ing to how things have turned out l
Will not go until later in the fall, as
l will have to lay in new supply of
provisions about that time, and will
return in the spring.
Frank, if you We're only here to see
your fortune that is in sight you
would be overpowered with joy. Say
nothing about the rest of the mines.
think it a wise idea of yours to bring
The oxen, as they are far better than
mules or dogs. I could have sold them
fifty times for beef, if l wanted to. I
know you're good dealer in real
estate, and now you will have a show
to plunge right into it, as you will
have lots of gold to do it with.
Give my love to my wife and chill
dren- Well, good-by, Frank You will
hear from me about September.

Senator Lodge Says That There
Should Be Prompt Legislation.

Senator Lodge says that he anticipates an
interesting session of Congress this winter
and believes that there will be important
legislation. He says he thinks there should
be financial legis ,ation to make more Sc
cure the gold standard and break forever
the endless-chain process. There should
be legislation. also, he says. with reference
to Hawaii and Porto Rico; but he does not
think that the conditions are yet ripe for
legislation with respect to the Philippines
and Cuba.
He says with respect to Porto Rico that
Congress ought not to attempt to give the
island at this time a complete. permanent
system of government but should extend
to it our currency laws and our tariff laws
and establish a system of courts, providing
some sort of municipal government. There
Is urgent necessity for the immediate eX-
tension of the tariff and currency laws to
the island. AS things stand now, he says
the Porto Ricans are even worse off COM
mercialy than they were under Spanish
rule, since the Spanish markets are closed
to them and we have not yet opened those
of this country. He says that the credit
of this government as well as the welfare
of the Porto Ricans demands that the is
land should be relieved from this situation
speedily as possible.
With reference TO the Philippines and
the whole eastern question. he says matters
are progressing towards a satisfactory con-
dition.
