Teater Who Was Paid a Big
Reward Going South.
FOUND THREE BODIES
A Record Made by One Man in "A
Single Season-RewardW Was Paid
for Two of Them-The Other Was
Not Recognizable.

Z. A. Teater, who discovered the remains
of Fred Clavson aud received the reward
therefor, and who has a record for recov-
ering the dead, arrived from Dawson Fri
dav, and will 90 south on the Dolphin or
AK. Mr.. Teater claims credit for find
ing three dead bodies on the Yukon river

LABORERS AGAINST 1T
Wage Workers Are Enraged at De-
ctsion of judge Dugas Who Has
Taken Away the Chances for
Them to Make Their Pay Certain
1900 Men Cut Short.

R. q. Duggan who arrived from Daw-
son Yesterday, saws there IS no question
but that Arthur Wilson and Alexander =,
Prudhomme, candidates of the Yukon
party will win out at next Wednesdays
election for members of the Yukon council
He thinks they will get large majority in
the city and they will sweep the creeks by
overwhelming maiorities. He bases his
opinion upon actual knowledge of the
public sentiment and the prevailing feeling
against the government OF the Yukon.
'No one" said Mr., Duggan, "who has
been connected with the administration in
the Yukon could be elected to ANYTHING.
The government has been verv obnoxious
to all classes except those seeking special
faYors.
The enmity of the laboring classes
particularly has been aroused on account
of the fact that Judge Dugas' rulings have
left no recourse to them for their wages
when working for a Law man. He has
held that the claim owner gets his share
OF the gold taken out of the claim free from
any lien of the wage worker.
"a case in point was that of Judge
Dugas' own son, He took lay on claim
belonging to his father, the Judge. He
lived in great style. Champagne flowed
freely and women of questionable reputa-
ton made the claim frequent resort.
"At the cleanup there was II cents on
tine dollar for laborers, while Judge Dugas
got his half of the gross output free of all
expense. The case was taken into court
and tried before the claim owner who gave
himself the ruling.
''Tere are 6ooo laborers on the klondike
creeks and 1900 of them did not get all
their paw on account of the rulings of
Judge Dugas."

MILLER WILL GO SOUTH
He Will Be Tried For Forgery
And is Confident of AcguittaI.

Cortes Miller, the waiter in the Mug
restaurant, who was arrested last SUNDAY
for forgery will be taken south on the Dol
phin for trial. He feels confident that he
will be acquitted of committing crime.
His story of the affair, which is believed
implicitly by his associates at the Mug res
taurant. and his acquaintance in Skagwav
is that he had loaned money frequently to
his brother when he was in Strengthened
circumstances. His brother had afterward
gone away and authorized him to get his
mail. He received a letter containing a
money order for IS, after his brother had
secured employment. He signed his bro
theirs name and got the money. His sister
in-IaW informed the postal authorities,
who notified him to refund the money and
save trouble. This he did after coming to
Skagway, though he SAYS his brother now
owes him money.

CHISTACHINA is RICH
Further Confirmation of the Good
Reports From the District.

Strong evidence in confirmation of
the frequent reports or the richness of
the richness of the new Copper River
placer gold discoveries on tributaries
of the Chistachina, is contained in
letter written at Port Valdes, Septem-
1r g. by Alvah Games to his brother,
DR. Il. NJ. Games of Seattle. An ex-
cerpt from the letter follows;
"A big strike has been made about
$50 miles in the interior. The ground
is placer and was discovered July 4.
They have brought out about $50, 900
worth of gold this season. The miners
had to carry lumber for their sluice
boxes distance of eight miles
1.-THE miners now here will start
back in February to begin next seasons
work"
Still another Indication of the rich
ness of the camp is found in the fact
that the vessels playing between Seat
tie and Port Valdes have been carry
ing unusually large cargoes of miners
supplies for more than IL month, says
the Post-Intellgencer. The miners
have to travel distance of nearly $50
miles from the interior to the coast
before they can place an order. Purser
Bemis, of the Excelsior, stated that
eight or ten men were at Port Valdes
awaiting that vessel when she arrived
there early in September. Some sent
mail orders for goods, while others re-
turned on the vessel to make their own
purchase

COAL FOR EUROPE.
One Man Says He Gould Ship 100000
600 Tons at Once.

Philadelphia, June 9-Owing to the
great demand by foreign coal dealers
for American bituminous coal, Green
vile, Hudson county, New Jersey, may
become the greatest coal shipping point
on the coast. r. ]. Berwind of the Ber-
wind White Coal company is quoted as
saying that he could ship 40, 200, 900 tons
of bituminous coal Immediately to Eur
Ope if his company had the facilities
for handling such an immense amount
1t was at first believed here that the
British-BOer war was responsible in a
measure for the scarcity of soft coal in
Europe, but now it is the opinion that
many of the mines have become ex-
hausted. American producers were com
PEELED to ignore innumerable requests
from foreign dealers for large shipments
because the demand at home was equal
to the supply. Now it is understood
the European market is being sought as
arrangements are under way to supply
both home and foreign trade.

DEWEY ON THE BRIDGE
Naval Parade in the AdmiraI's
Honor at Detroit.

Detroit, Mich, June 9.-Detroiters
today had the satisfaction of seeing
Admiral Dewey on the bridge, but not
exactly as he is commonly pictured,
for on this occasion the admiral ap-
peared on the bridge of the steamer
Tashmoo, wearing silk hat and civil
ians clothes 1t was a splendid day
for the marine parade: the admiral was
right at home in it and his face glowed
with qualification as from his point of
vantage he looked over the floating pa
geant lined no in his honor.
Admiral and Mrs. Dewey were driven
to the wharf at a. m, a platoon of
mounted police cantering ahead, clear
ing path through the usual assembled
crowds. The steamer Tashmoo. the
largest and fastest excursion craft on
the lakes, made her maiden trip as the
flagship of Dewey. There was a roar
OF cheers along the dock when the ad-
nlil'ai assembled to the bridge and ex-
changed salutes with the captain, and
as the admirals four starred blue flag
rose to the masthead the enthusiasm
was intensified. Mrs. Dewey stood be-
side her husband enjoying the scene.
AS the TashmOO swung out and took
her place at the head of the line and
the parade moved forward an ad-
mIrals salute of seventeen guns was
| fired by the United States steamship
Michigan Then a chorus of whistles
arose from shore and river, the Cana
dian side joining heartily in the demon
stration with many British flags way
ing in Dewey's honor. Cannon salutes
were fired on the Walkerville Canada,
shore and were responded to by the
flagship and the admiral. Following
the TashmOO were the Michigan and the
! revenue cutter Fessenden tagged out
from bowsprit to stern post. The pro-
cession of steam yachts which followed
were all similarly attired and the load
