The Royalty on Gold Output in
North Reaches Large Figure.
Richer By Over Eight Hundred thousand
Dollars in Returns From Klondike.
Estimated That the Seasons Clean
Up Will Not Fall Short Of
Twenty Millions of Dollars
Output of Many Claims Escape
the Royalty Tax.

SKAGUAY (Alaska). July IA, (via
Vancouver, B. c., July 1S.-J. E.
Gerouard a member of the Yukon
Council of Administration, arrived here
to-day from Dawson on his way to OF
tawa with an official report to be laid
before the Cabinet officials.
Concerning royalties, he stated that
when he left Dawson the report for the
month of June had not been completed.
But enough returns had been made to
state that the royalties for this season
would run over SS00,000. The total
output of the season he estimated at
$2O,O0O00O, and the discrepancy of
the royalty as against this total output
he explained on the ground that the
royalties had been diminished because
it was now only levied on over $4,000
instead of over $1,000, and that the
output of claims which would thus es-
cape the royalty tax amounted to
large sum.
Commissioner Gerouard remarked
that the Administration had expended
SO, 600 on improvements in this city.
$4,000 on hospitals, and in addition
had worked all the prisoners on what
he termed city improvements.
Ell Dorado is this season by far the
heaviest producer.

Summary Prepared by Department
of Agriculture for California.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 1S.-The fol-
lowing summary prepared by the De-
partment of Agriculture shows the con-
dition of the crops and weather in
California during the last week:
The temperature has been nearly nor
NAL through the week, though slightly
below in portions of the Sacramento
Valley and at San Diego. There was
heavy fogs have been frequent along
the coast. These conditions have been
favorable for farmers and orchardists,
and the harvesting and thrashing of
grain, and fruit picking and shipping
have continued uninterruptedly.
The wheat and barley crops are gem
orally above average in the central and
northern portions and in the north
coast section of Southern California the
yield of these cereals is said to be near
ly equal to the average. Raisin and
wine grapes are making good growth,
with the probability of an average
yield. Table grapes are being shipped
East Peaches and other deciduous
fruits are plentiful; in some sections
apricots and prunes are yielding much
better than had been expected.
1t is reported that navel oranges are
dropping badly in portions of the Sac
ramento Valley.
Sugar beets are doing we'll in the
central and southern coast regions.
Corn. potatoes and vegetables are IN
good condition in most sections.
Pasturage is beginning to show lack
of moisture. Irrigating water is be-
coming scarce in portions of the San
Joaquin Valley and in Southern Cali

sioners. DR.. Solf claims that he Will
