WEIGHED DOWN WITH DUST
Pack Train of Twenty Gold-Laden Horse
Reaches Dawson.
Late Advices From the K1Ondilxe In
dictate Fabulous Luck by the Min
ers-Big Copper Strike Reported.

SAN FRANCISCO, July "a special
from Seattle says: Gold dust pouring
into Dawson when the Humboldt's passen-
gers left. They allege that the morning
of June 90 a pack train of twenty horses,
each animal carrying 200 pounds of gold
dust, arrived from Eldorado creek. There
were two tons of it, worth fully 81 600 600.
1t is said that eleven of the horses were
weighted down with dust from one claim.
Another Dawson party arrived today on
the Dirigo. Joseph Putran and Henry Ber-
ry had Jointly 200 pounds of dust. Aside
from this no one man had to exceed fifty
pounds. The total on the vessel was about
s150,0OO.
The City of Topeka is close behind the
Dirigo with considerable treasure.
Richard Emmons j. Gosham and Orin w.
Jackson sought to reach the Copper river
section from Dawson and came near starv-
ing to death.
Their Indian guides deserted and the men
were lost for ten days.
Miners have reached Dawson from Por-
cupine river without gold. Some say they
prospected all the rivers as far north as
Herschel Island in the Arctic ocean, but
did not find anything.
townsite has been located about twenty
miles above Fort Selkirk. A copper ledge

distance of sixteen miles, has been located

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE.
A Deficiency Appropriation to BE
Asked When COmgress ConXenes.

When Congress meets II deficiency appro-
priaton will be asked for by the public
printer to meet the increased expense of
which has resulted from the payment of
advanced wages to compositors and book
binders. The last Congress gave the public
printer authority to pay these two classes
of workmen at the rate of 30 instead of 10
cents an hour. Mr.. Palmer was given the
option of making the increase or contin-
uing the old rate after the 1st of July, and
he allowed the higher grade of pay. While
authorizing him to do this, there was no
increase of the appropriation for his office
to meet the additional demand, and as a
result thers will be a shortage which will
be asked and doubtless allowed during the
first days of the next Congress.
The public printer has not been able to
reinstate any of the employees of his Office
who were furloughed during the last spring
because of a lack of demand on his office
for work by the departments. The need
for printed matter a result of the war
has largely fallen off, so that the office de-
pends almost entirely the routine work
of the departments and other work ordered
by Congress to keep busy. During the
present month it is believed that consid-
cradle of this work will come in.
The work of clearing the site for the ad-
dition to the government printing Office
isl now about completed and preparations
s(e being made for having the excavation
done by contract. This work will be all
that can be accomplished toward the con-
struction of the new building during the
summer and coming fall.

MODEL CAMP AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Surgeon General Sternberg Highly
Praises Its Sanitary Arrangements.

Gen. Sternberg, surgeon general of the
army, has returned to this city from an ex-
tended tour of inspection through the south
and west. He is very enthusiastic about
the new model camp established at San
Francisco for the benefit of the volunteers
returning home from the Philippines, and
says that it excels any similar camp ever
established in this country. Nothing has
been neglected that could possibly contrib
ute to the comfort and convenience of the
soldiers, and the sanitary arrangements are
as nearly perfect as modern science can
make them The regular camp will ac-
commodate 1890 men. There is also Il de-
tention camp on Angel Island, with a
capacity for 1900 men, for use in case it
becomes necessary to place any of the re-
turning volunteers in quarantine. The
camp also includes hospital accommoda-
tions for 1000 men.
During his absence Gen. Sternberg visited
Prescott, AriZ.. and Fort Bayard n. NJ.
with view to the selection of a site for a
sanitarium for soldiers suffering from
tuberculosis. His decision was in favor of
locating such an establishment at Fort
Bayard, N. NJ. He says the climate there
is in every way suitable to the treatment of
consumptive patients, and that the IN
used quarters of the post could readily be
remodeled and fitted up for the occupancy
of about 500 or 600 invalid soldiers.

Subsidiary Coin in China.

Ihe Chinese currency system has been
confronted by an extraordinary difficulty,
according to United States Consul Fowler,
in the sudden rise of copper. The result
has been that the cash, or subsidiary Chi
nese coin, is now worth much more than
its token value in silver. In fact, the Chi
nese government is paying 1.35 taels for
the copper and zinc out of which is minted
enough cash to make one tael in the ag-
giegate. The consul says that in the end
the present great scarcity in cash will
cause the issue of silver subsidiary COIN
age, so that China may be expected to
absorb an increasing quantity of the white
metal each year.

DESPOILED THE REGISTER.
Autograph Collector Cut Out Names
From War Department Book


AT the War Department there is a large
blank book, where officers coming to
Washington register, stating the time of
arrival, probable date of departure and
the business which called them to the War
Department. This register is kept in the
hall opposite the Office of the adjutant gen
eral. Last Sunday some autograph col
lector raided the book and cut out the
names of all prominent officers, including
those who made themselves famous during
the Spanish war. Among the many sig
natures which have been taken those
of Generals Shafter, Greene, Wood. FitZ-
hugh Lee, Wade, Merritt, Butler and
others. 1t happens frequently that the
signatures of general officers are written
in by their aids Some of the signatures
extracted are not the real autographs of
the men. In such cases the vandal has
not enriched himself. while destroying a
record that is quite valuable for the War
Department.

Spanish commissioners and Aguinaldo
looking to the release of the Spanish pris-

then certainly a large number Of the pris-
orers who are not able to render any serv-
ice to their captors and whose custody
is embarrassing to them.

released, but it is feared that, owing to
their different status, they will be held by
the insurgents.
