EMMA KELLY'S CLAIM.
She Held Tt Only After a Miners
Trial.

The following is from a letter written
by Emma L. Kelly from the Klondike
to the Boston Transcript:
With my female companions, having
reached Dawson in June, we came on
to this place (Birch Creek where we
have been most of the time since, hav-
ing made our home in a snug little
cabin where we have lived comfortably
during the coolest weather, indicated
by the mercury for a short time at 81
below zero and standing for several
days at 60. My companion and myself
each have a claim in this district
having won mine at the end of a con-
test, as two miners attempted to take
it from me. The matter was settled
by submitting our claims respectively
to a jury consisting of all the miners in
the district. I took charge of my own
case and was given a Verd1ct by a ma
jority vote; having been sustained by
all except seven of those voting.
We are now in the midst of the long
winter where daylight lasts not more
than three hours day. That portion
of the Aurora are most fascinating and
enchanting. This wonderful exhibition
of nature to be seen in all its grandeur
only in this far northern latitude, sur
passes the power of words to describe.
Often I sit for hours in the silence of
the night and through the little window
in my cabin watch the wonderful dis
play of the Aurora.
During the summer I planted a little
garden and was successful in growing
some radishes, lettuce, cabbage and
turnips- OF course they became frozen
/ as hard as rocks but we have learned in
Alaska how to cook frozen vegetables
so that they afford excellent eating. On
Christmas day my companion and my
self entertained Is miners at dinner and
while 1 shall not attempt naming the
items on the bill of fare yet we had a
dinner as Sumptuous as we might have

OLATHE BONDS IN QUESTION
Were Bought by Agricultural College
and State Investigates.

There is a controversy concerning the
issuance of improvement bonds at
Olathe. purchased by the state agri-
cultural college, that necessitates an
investigation by the attorney general.
and B. Fl. Tracy has gone to Olathe
for that purpose.
The bonds We're issued for some pub
lie improvements and sold. Soon after
the sale to the agricultural college an
injunction against the bonds was asked
for in the district court In the mean
time tile college authorities had for
warded a check to pay for the bonds,
and the controversy, which was about
that time originated. is likely to cause
stopping payment of the check. The
college does not want bonds that are
in litigation.

if the Judge Will Serve.

Louisville, KY, June IA special to
the Courier Journal from Barbours-
vile, KY, says:
The case of Speek Philpot, charged
with killing Felix Davidson. was set
for today at Manchester and 1t is re-
ported that both the Philpots and Crit
fms were armed looking for a clash at
any time Judge Brown is trying to hold
court there, but under a great many
disadvantages. The jurors and wit
nesses refused to serve, thinking Judge
Browns right to the judgeshfp IS in
doubt, they fear they viii not get pay

California Booms Irving M. Scott For
Vice President.


San Francisco. June 12-The mention
Of Irving NJ. Scott as candidate for the

in the east no general expression OF
opinion can be secured from the dele
gates. 1t is stated that the delegates
from the Third congressional district
have been instructed to support Secre-
tary Of the Navy Long for vice presi-
dent, but delegates from other districts
have no hesitancy in saying that the
California delegation should support a
Californian if the name of a candidate
from this state is presented to the con-
vention.
The members of the Republican dele
cation to the national convention who
have not already gone east, started for
Philadelphia tiday They expect to ar
rive at their destination Saturday night

ANOTHER BLOCK FIRED.
The George Il. Nicholson Smeltrr
Fires Up the Third Block
of RetOrtS.

Friday the George T.. Nicholson
smeter just east of town turned on the
gas and fired up the third block of
furnaces which the plant now COM
prises. Two blocks have been in
operation for some time, and now the
third block is finished and will be
operated steadily henceforth. This
means an increased number of em-
ployes and an increased pay roll. 1t
means a good living for more families
and the ability to buy good Eomes on
the part of the men thus given regular
employment at good wages
With the Gas City smelters enlarg-
ing to twice their present capacity, the
Lanyon Zinc Company adding more
furnaces at the north works. and Mr..
Nicholson turning the fires into an
other block, lola is in pretty good
shape to stand the winter.
