WILD GOOSE RAILWAY FINISHED
Mining Greatly Retarded Owing to the
Scarcity OF Watcr-Many Men
Broke and Discouraged.

Seattle, August 8.-"Nome is all
right for the practical miner, but it
contains about 10000 people at this
time who have no business there, says
Charles d. Lane, the California mil
lionaire mining man. Nome" Mr..
Lane resumed, lis all believed it to
be and perhaps more. There is plenty
OF gold there and the camp will demon
strate the truthfulness OF my assertion.
came away on business and expect to
return just as soon as possible. So
many inexperienced people being in
the district is bound to result in disas-
trous consequences. Many of them are
broke and discouraged. They cannot
get away"
"Do you think the government will
provide them transportation back to
the states?"
IF the government wants to do the
right thing it certainly will"
"How is the smallpox situation?"
1T is not at all serious. =. Seattle
could have as many cases and nothing
would be thought of it. There fare a
few cases of smallpox at Nome. but
they are of the very mildest form.
There has been but one death from the
disease, and Of the total number who
have had the smallpox there is not q
pitted man in the lot. There was no
sense i'll such a scare"
Mr.. Lane spoke of his own operations
in the camp, saying he had completed
the Wild Goose railway, which runs
from Nome City to the mines on Anvil
creek, a distance of eight or nine miles.
1t is now in operation, handling both
freight and passengers.
''As to mining" Mr.. Lane said in
conclusion, "that has been greatly re-
tarded owing to,a lack OF water. Up
to the time we left there had been but
little rain, though we had shower or
two while we wece en- route to Dutch
harbor, and these rains may have ex-
tended to Nome. / think there will be
more or less OF rainfall at Nome this
month, and If it comes in sufficient
quantities the gold output of the dis
trict will yet be considerable. In any
event, my faith in the camp as an ulti-
mate gold producer is unshaken."

Peit Sang is the first railroad station
about six miles northwest OF Tien Tsin,
en- route to Pekin. Tausig, who signed
the first dispatch, is in command OF
the Yorktown, which is at Che Foo.
Interest in the Chinese situation was
intensified this morning by the receipt
Of two dispatches from naval officers
at Che Foo, repeating unofficial but
apparently reliable reports OF active
and extensive hostilities between the
allied forces and the Chinese on the
line between Tien Tsin and Pekin.

immense amount of provisions upon

stevedores strike.

Baltimore, August S.--All the union
stevedores in Baltimore, numbering
about $500, went ON a strike today be-
cause the steamship agents refused TO
agree to employ no more non-union
men. The trouble began several days
ago. This morning the leaders of the
union presented to the agents an agree.
ment binding them to employ union
men exclusively, which the agents
unanimously declined to sign. The
strike was then ordered and promptly
obeyed. A large number of non.union
men are at work today, and as yet
there have been no attempts on the
part of the strikers to interfere with
them.
