NEW GOLD DISCOVERIES.
They are Said to Exceed in Richness
Those of the klondilSe, and are
In Uaited States Territory.

San Francisco, May 1.-THE Exam
iner prints story regarding the new
gold discoveries at Point Nome, Alas
ka, which its advices declare to ex-
ceed in richness those of the Klondike.
The strike is on the Snake river and Its
back from Cape Nome, and 120 miles
from St. Mchael-just outside the St.
Michael military reservation of the
United States government. The mines
are all in American territory. Reports
from miners on the ground say that
it is only six feet to bed rock, and the
ground is alleged to pay from the sur
face. A stampede from Dawson and
st. Michael to the new gold field is
predicted. Leon Sloss, of the Alaska
Commercial Co., points out the fact
that these diggings seem to be in
we'll defined belt, which takes in the
Klondike country. the Forty Mile and
Circle City mines, the Koyukuk
strikes, and passes on through the
Snake River region into Siberia.
Rich finds are also reported on the
Koyullull river. one of the northern
tributaries of the Yukon. These are
also on American soil.

AMERICAN BULL FIGHTERS.
A BulI-FiRht ut Durango, Mexico, in
Which the Human Participants
Were Americans.

Chicago, May 11.-A special to the
Record from Austin, Tex, says: a ,,ri-
vate letter was received here from Du-
rango, Mexico, giving an account of
the first bull fight ever given in Mexi-
co. The fight took place at Durango
last Saturday, and was witnessed by
the largest audience ever seen at eXhi-
bitions of that kind in that city.
The performers were ID. NJ. Shay,
Wm. Fisher, +. f. Shaw, Perry
Sharpe, r. w. Tisdale, Roy Kessell, j..
w. Dobbins, H. L. Benson, Carlos
Chapman, w. W. McNea and d. W.
Barnes. all well-knowp in that section
OF Mexico The bulls for the occasion
we're obtained from a mountain ranel
IN that state, and were noted for their
ferocity. Four bulls We're dispatched
one after another by Barnes and Shaw.
Murphy, another performer, had Il
narrow escape from death. He was
caught on the leg H the sharp horns
of one of the bulls and carried sew
eral times around the arena.
The fight had been advertised
throughout Mexico for several weeks
before it came off, and the American
clergy in that section preached nr-
nerous sermons against it.
