followed at intervals, illuminating the
surrounding country and the opposite

DAWSON CITY CONDITIONS.
a Thriving Metropolitan Town In Place
Of Mining village.

Washington, Oct. 27.--An interest
ing report upon the conditions In Daw-
son City and the Yukon district OF
Alaska has been furnished to the state
department by United States Consul
McCook.
Dawson today" he says, presents
a marked contrast TO the Dawson OF
1893. Then no one, except possibly the
judges on the bench. wore white
shirt. The town was thronged with
miners. pack on back, prospecting for
gold. The streets were veritable mud
holes. Now people dress much as
they do in the cities of the United
States. A man with pack on his
back is an unusual sight, and one can
walk the town over with polished shoea
and not have them soiled."
Dawson City does not appear like q
mining town, states Consul McCook,
but rather thriving commercial cen.
ter. 1t is crowded just now, for more
come in than go out. Electric rail-
ways are promised by 1901, and public
schools have been opened and are well
attended.
The government at Ottawa, it is re.
ported. will offer for sale at public
auction in Dawson every claim that
has reverted TO 1t by lapse or other
wise. and 80 days after the time OF
sale all claims not sold will be declared
open for location.
The oatput of gold has been increas-
ing, says the consul, in spite of the fact
that the average values of the gravels
worked have been steadily declining.

Valuable placer claims are reported
to have been located in the Stewart

TATER PLUG BLOWS OUT.
Damage and Inconvenience for
Square in u street.

This morning at about 2 o'clock plug
nine OF the water main on Z Street. be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets,
almost in front of the pumping station,
blew out. making a report that fairly
shook the foundations OF the houses il
the immediate vicinity. The force OF the
water was so terrific that 1t blew out
space between the car tracks for a dis
tance of nearly five yards. 1t made hole
more than three feet deep. On the side
OF the track where the main trap is To-
Gated, a hole about three feet square was
made by the rushing waters. and one OF
the square flag stones just in front of
the pumping station was blown out.
Word was at once telephoned to the
Water Department and by 2:30 O'Clock
gang OF workmen was on the scene of the
accident and at once proceeded TO repair
the damage. 1t was necessary. OF course,
TO turn of the water. The break was in
such condition by o'clock this morning
that the water could be turned on again,
for which the citizens in that section were
thankful. The ears going out aud coming
in from Chevy Chase were held up from
$50 uatil $50 a. N.
Fortunately not & house on the square
was flooded or even dampened. Just how
much water escaped cannot be estimated.
but enough permeafed the ground to cause
a sinking in the concerto on both sides
of the car tracks for nearly half a square.

nruEGist,s Alleged Error.

druggists Alleged Error.
Coroner Neyitt convened jury of in
quest at No. 2 station at o'clock this aft
ernoon to enquire into the circumstances
attending the death OF Eva Melting. the
seventeen -year-o1d daughter Of Mrs. Rose
E. Melting. at her home. % n Street north
west, Sunday night. The death of Miss
Melting, it is said. was directly due to an
alleged mistake on the part Of drug clerks
in the employ OF Albert n ConnoT. phar-
macist at the corner Of Fourth and N
Streets northwest. The inquest will de-
termire that
1t appears that mistake was made by
some one and that prescription written
by Dr.. d. w. Prentiss of 1101 Fourteenth
Street, and calling for atrophine as an in
gredient was not properly compounded. In
fact, 1t is alleged, that the quantity OF the
poisonous ingredient in the prescription
was greatly in excess of that called for by
the prescription 1t is also said that 1sa-
dore Cohen and Frank Tuck. the drug
clerks who compounded the prescription,
are not registered pharmacists.
Miss Melting had been under the care
OF DR.. Prentiss for some time. She was a
sufferer, it is said with pulmonary tuber-
culosis. A small quantity of atrophine was
prescribed as a stimulant for the respira-
tory organs. After the prescription had
been filled the young woman was given
dose at about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
During the evening her condition became
alarming and DR.. Prentiss was again sum
moned. He could do nothing then to coun-
teract the effects of the poison An inves-
hgation followed the death of Miss Melting
and it was discovered, it is said, that an
excessive quantity instead OF a small por-
ton Of the atrophine had been put in the
medic ne which the young woman had ta-
ken. Coroner hewitt was then notified and
an inquest ordered.
