GOLD AT

Tho seattie-Yukon Trannporia-

lowing letter from e. II. Peck. the
company'a agent AT Rampant city.
under date 81 January &;
Good reports are beginning 20

now to safely say that the camp will
not go to pieces next summer. Llt-
tie Manook. as far as No. ,. II turn
ing out even richer than expected.
McGraw and Carr. on No. 5. are
going away ahead Of what they
figured on. They are working about
forty men. and I do not think they
will get all worked out this year.
Good prospects are being found
on Big Manook. and 1t IL generally
believed by every one here that the

the working. II viii give a lot Of men

ma the gold IL there. they viii ind
some way To work H. Some Of the
pups leading into Little Manook
are also turning out some gold. II
In the general theory now that the
gold on Little Manook came from
Idaho Bar through the pups lead
In from the bar To the creek. which
would account for there being no
gold above . and 10 on Little Man
ook.
Yesterday a report came OF rich
ind on Hoosier creek. The find was
made on Knapp's claim. Knapp
Is from Seattle. and was In the ooun-
try last year.
These are the only creeks on
which, with the exception Of Hunt

ing quantities. II II IL being found
on any OF the other creeks. II IL
being kept quiet, which IL some
times the case. Good prospects
are coming from the other creeks.

An Emperor's Death.

Emperor Charles v. Of Spain

retired to the monastery of Yuste. In
Estremadura. and there lived life

with the monks. devoting much time
20 religious exercises. During this
period. prompted " may be by the
example OF Cardinal DE La Marck.
who for several years before his
death. in ISIS. had annually re-
hearaed his own obsenuies, the en-
peror. In the summer OF lb5s. formed
the resolution to celebrate his own
funeral before he died. The priests
assured him--what the supcrstitious
element in his character readily in
ciined him To believe--thst the act
would surely merit and win divine
favor. Accordingly, on August 10 OF
that year. the grim farce was car
ried out with the most elaborate
ceremonial The imperial domestics
marched with black tapcrs In their
hands. and the emperor clad In sa-
bic weeds. himself followed wearing
his shroud. While the solemn mass
for the dead was being sung before
the high altar In the cathedral he
gave up his taper to the priest, typi-
Tying thereby his resignation OF life.
and was Holemniy laid In his coffin.
The ceremony closed with sprinkling
holy water on his body; then. all the
attendants retiring, the doors were
shut. and Charles rose from his mar
row bed and withdrew 10 his private
apartment. The dsmpness of the
grave cloths induced a chill. which,
aided no doubt by the mental de-
preston caused by the grewsome
ceremony. induced fever which
ended in his death three weeks later,
on September II, 1888.
