Norman d. Macaulay, the original White
Horse tramway monopolist, says that so
far from being a worked out camp, the
Klondike, with the general use of improv-
ed machinery and an adequate labor sup
ply. win this year have a greatly increas-
ed gold output.
Sulphur creek is the sensation Of the
season. and will alone contribute many
millions. on claim IS above on this creek,
which had not been systematically work.
ed until this season, 5000 buckets are be-
ing taken out daily by the German avn
cr. steam thawing being used. Each
bucketful Of dirt contains at least Sc
worth Of gold, or $4,000 a day. and the
owner counts upon a return Of fully two
and a half millions in treasure.
Gay gulch is also proving a big money
maker for those who are fortunate enough
to be in on Il.
As a tangible evidence OF the richness
Of Gay gulch. Mr.. Macaulay exhibits a fat
nugget Of almost pure gold. two inches In
length by perhaps one in width, and worth
1918. 1t is from claim No. 3, coming In
at 30 Eldorado, and owned by Messrs. H..
C.. James d. and Hubert a. Macaulay,
the latter acting as foreman of the proper
ty which Is confidently looked to TO return
5000 or ss0coo profit during the next
twelve months.

a depth OF less than twenty feet from the
surface, ard the richness Of the ground
may be gauEed from the fact that al
though the fifteen workmen employed are
only now approaching bedrock, at TWEEN
ty-two feet, the dirt they are getting out
Is worth from . cents to % to the pan.
The claim was originally located several
years ago, but has not been actively OPEN
ed ont until the present season, with re-
suits that are exceeding all antfcipations.
Ii Is Sulphur creek, however, that IL the
years sensation. and particularly claim
~ above. as the richest mining property
In the world. The owner expects that be-
fore II can be exhausted the claim viii
have yielded quite ten millions, as It has
a ffteen-foot paystreak with the geld uni
fornly distributed. extending the full
width of the creek, more than one nun
bred feet.
Hunker is also showing Up wen this sea-
son. steam thawers belng In use every
where; while Dominion creek is so prov
ing its worth that claim % on hanging
hands recently at 10000 was everywhere
described as a splendid bargain for the
buyer.
The Big Salmon Is improving rapidly In
prospects; and those who nave held faith
In the Selkirk have lately had their conh-
dcrce renewed by the arrival down that
river Of a mine with $1,000 in dust TO show
for his seasons work.
Speaking approximately. and with due
regard TO the larger number Of men en-
ployed and the improved machinery now
in service, Mfr. Macaulay that

Another strike of Lead-s1ver Ore
on Deep Creek.

AT a depth Of twenty-eight feet a good
sized body OF silver-lead ore has been
discovered in the Morrill, claim near Deep
creek falls, one and a half miles east Of
Northport, in Stevens county. Miners
have been working for some time drift
ing from the main shaft and following
stringers OF white quartz, streaked with
galena and copper stains. but upon
changing their course and following a six
inch vein OF galena for some distance
they uncovered a fine body OF silver-lead
ore. assaying s0 To the ton.
Robert Morrill,. owners Of the property,
did not expect TO 1nd anything so good
short OF sixty feet. but he has always
been confident hat a large body Of min
eral would be found with depth. The
surface groupings can be traced for a
distance Of several hundred feet, showing
the ledge to be enormous.

CONGREGATIONAL Missionary Says They
Are Dangerous Set.

CHICAGO, June 4.-Rev. DIR. D. T. Shelf
field, president of the North China College
OF the American board of foreign missions,
who has been selected by the First Congre-
gational Church to be Its paid missionary in
foreign lands. gave lecture at the church
last night. He has been In China thirty
years. Speaking of the present situation
in that country he said: Il have the grav-
est apprehensions of danger to the mission
stations in northern China. The Boxers
are not upheld openly by the government,
but secretly.
The Boxers are are also known by the
name of the Society of the Great Knife.
They are banded together for the preserva-
ton Of conservatism. They are religious
fanatics. claiming that spirits urge them
death injury as long as they remain
loyal to the silent voices. At first they
attacked the native churches belonging to
the Roman Catholic missions, but soon be-
gan to wage war on the Protestant
churches and missions well.
They have destroyed 100 houses belong
ing 10 the Roman Catholics and 800 belong
ing to the Protestant denominations They
are adding to their numbers, and 1t will
take the most strenuous efforts On the part
Of the Chinese government to suppress
them.
IT am glad the marines were landed, but
they will find their time occupied In pro-
tecting the cities alone. Foreign interven-
tion will result In the overthrow of the
present government"

THE TELEPHONE BILL
BRIEF DISCUSSION ON THE MEASURE
IN THE SENATE.
Messrs. Pettigrew and Gallinger
Speak In Opposition to
Its Passage.

The bill to incorporate the Washington
Telephone Company was discussed for a
few minutes in the Senate today. Senator
Gallinger said he was satisfied the Chesa-
peake and Potomac Telephone Company
would make satisfactory agreement with
its subscribers during the coming summer.
Senator Mcmillan expressed the opinion
that the bill could not be passed before ad-
journment and Senator Jones of Arkansas
gave notice that he would move early in
the next session Of Congress to take up
and pass the bill.
The brief discussion was begun by Mr..
Jones inquiring- of Mr.. Mcmillan whether
the bill could be passed during the present
session, saying he would like to see 1t
passed.
Mr. Mcmillan replied that his judgment
was that the bill would not be passed. He
said a great many senator's objected TO
taking 1t up at the present time and his
impression was that 1t could not be passed
at the present time.
Mr. Jones said he would be glad to have
a vote taken on the bill before ADJOURN
ment. He knew that there had been some
informal conferences among senators on
the bill and that some of them had pro-
posed that the bill go over to the next
session.
Pettigrew and Gallfnser in Opposition
Mr. Pettigrew stated that he was op-
posed to the passage of the bill because ne
did not believe 1t would remedy the diff
Guilty that afflicted the people of the DIS
trct. new telephone company here, he
said, would mean that people would have
two telephones instead of one, that the
streets would be torn up and that at the
end of a year the two companies would
consolidate and the people would be just
where they are now. A telephone service,
he said is necessarily monopoly, and the
only remedy he knew of for the present
difficulty was public ownership. The very
fact that this bill to incorporate new COM
pany was before the Senate was an admlS-
sion that Congress could not regulate the
existing company.
Mr. Galinger said the committee on the
District of Columbia was equally divided
the telephone BILL or at least substan-
TALLY so.
.'The old company" he said. has re-
Gently been reorganized, with Judge Wilson
at its head and it is controlled by enter
prising men. and they think they can sat
isfy the people of this District If they are
given the summer months in which to do
1t. l am sure when We come back next
December this matter will be adjusted.
If such an adjustment was not made ne
would not feel like making strong oppo-
sition to the bill; but fair play and proper
corRidera ton for invested capital ought, he

over He gave notice that early in the
next session he would call the bill up and
make an effort to secure its passage.
