FOUND A FORTUNE At NOME
ALASKA GOLD MINER IN THE
CITY.
S. T. Prather Predicts Great Things
for the Northern Country-Good
Place for Fortune Seekers.

The possibilities of the Alaskan gold
bearing region can scarcely be over
estimated, is the opinion of S. T. Pra-
Their, who is just down from the Nome
section. Mr.. Prather is d guest at the
Cullen, and came here to close up a
deal with some Salt Lakers who are
interested with him in some of his
claims at Gold Run, in the foothills
abOu, fifteen miles back from Port
Clarence bay, and eighty miles north
of Nome
Mr.. Prather went into the KIondike
section in the spring of 1898 from Cali
fornia. and met with only fair success
in getting location of a good claim.
He came out the first winter. but re-
turned and passed all of last winter in
the hills above Nome. On account of
the facility of travelling with dog sleds
when snow is on the ground, it is pos
sible to get over long stretches of cOun-
try with supplies to gulches that
seemed likely to be rich in gold. Be
cause of adopting this plan and re-
turning on foot to locations made when
the prospecting season opened, Mr..
Prather attributes his good luck. His
claim No. Is, is midway between the
rich No. and No. Il, and develop
ments are proving that it is a bonanza.
The gold of the coast placer diggings
is richer in quality by a couple of dol
lars an ounce than the product of the
mines tributary to Dawson City. and
because of this Mr. Prather believes
that after the coast mines are opened
up the excess value viii pay for opera
ton. Mr.. Prather is of the opinion
that the whole Alaskan coast will be
a world-beater in production of gold,
and that it VIII be a good place for
fOTtune-seekers who have p.enty of per-
severance for several generations to
come.
Mr.. PratheT predicts that the metrop-
oils of the great northwest will be

tiles, and with a coast railroad that is

At the November meeting of the
Manufacturers Society of the Middle
Rhine. DR.. FuId. LII D.. delivered an
address on the organization of indus
tries. The speaker pointed out that the
German government, which, during the
first half of the nineteenth century, was
opposed to such movements, has lately
become converted to the necessity and
advisab ility of organization. Thus,
boards of agriculture have been estab-
lished in the interests of the farmer,
and boards of labor in the interest of
the workingman; only in the interest
of the manufacturers have no boards,
as yet, been established. Tt devolves
upon the manufacturers themselves to
make the initiative in organizing ma
,ionaI Industrial council.
The chambers of commerce cannot be
regarded as representative Of mdnufac-
turing interests, as with them COM
merce plays the most important role,
and they are inclined to advocate the
doctrines of free trade, which are by no
means shared by the nanufa cturers-
The speaker urged a strong centrali-
cation of industries as necessary, IN
view of the demands Of the agrar1an
and commercial interests, especially at
the present time, during the prepare
ton of new trade treaties.
It appears that the conviction has
grown upon the manufacturers that
such a Capitalization would be of I'M
measurable value to them, and three
of the strongest industrial societies OF
Germany convened to organize a ma
tionaI Industrial council. The Imperial
government was apparently in SYM
Tathv with the movement, but so far
the efforts have failed. Nevertheless
the speaker argued, it must be the con-
slant aim of the manufacturers to call
into existence such a central organlza-
ton. The manufacturing interests OF
Germany Will surely demand the pas
sage of a protective tariff during the
present session of the reichstag.

Hotel Guest Finds d $500 Pearl
in an Oyster.

The novelty of finding a valuable
pearl in an oyster served in the menu
OF Salt Lake hotel, was the fortunate
experience of a guest al the Kenyon

by Mrs. a. H Bracket of Butte. who
has been in the city with her little son
about week on a visit

OF jewels, and she has a goodIy supply
Of precious stones, but none of them
are more highly priced by her than
the one she found in the blue point
oyster on a half-sheIl served to her al
uihner last evening The hard sub
stance was detected while eating the
oyster. Upon removing it, Mrs. Brack-
ett hoticed the peculiar beauty of the
stone and in a few moments it dawned
