BIG STRIKES At NOME.
Returning Miners Tell of Fortunes
Found There.

Vancouver, Il. G., June 1S.-The steam
ship Alpha, the first treasure boat to
arrive from the great American treasure
boxes at Nome, has reached Vancouver.
Her passengers, five iii number, had
many marvellous stories to tell of the big
strikes made. They evidenced the truth
of their statements by showing receipts
in the hands of the purser of their share
of the winters labors-namely, $300,0OC
in gold dust and nuggets. The passen-
gers were ]. Kill of Seattle, whose share
was $4,000; J. Tinsen of Dawson, j.
c. Monaghan of Colorado, Frank Green
of Springfield, Mass, and Swan Swanson
of New York.
J. G. Monaghan said that Nome was
maryelously rich, but it was hard to
size up the situation as yet owing to the
fact that work could be carried on only
in summer. There are now 5000 persons
at Nome, and every creek has been staked
and restaked so often that newcomers who
buy claims will very likely buy lawsuit.
For 20 miles in front of Nome the beach
has been hand worked and stripped, but
machinery will yet extract millions.
Forty miles from Nome big strike has
been made at Tipcocll, on the Pen Beach,
where man took $4,000 out of a 10

hours day. while over $4,000 was talk
en- out of the claim in all. Seven men
were in the party, and they staked 70
claims of 20 feet apiece, and every claim
seems as rich as the discovery There
was a stampede to the spot, but all the
rich ground was taken up.
The Golden Gate country is turning out
well. On Colorado creek the pans are
running from 81 to $3.50, while $SO,0G0
has been taken out of Snow creek and
big fortunes out of Anvil and Dexter
creeks. Mr.. Monaghan says that wher.
ever a hole has boon sunk dirt running
from 20 to 80 cents has been found, and
he believes that these uplands have beer
pouring their rich deposits on the beacf
for centuries.
The Alpha sailed from here on April
and left Nome on May 80. She had ;
terrible experience, squeezing through
800 miles of ice. Contrary to eXpecta
tions, although she is Canadian boat
she had no trouble in landing her passen
gers on American soil, although Nome il
not port of entry.
The winter was a hard one. Shovel
sold for S25 apiece: coal, 5000 a ton
wood, $50 a cord beef, 81 to $1.50
pound; condensed milk, $1.50 a can. Ii
spite of this, the large American popula
tion now there is in good health.

A TALK WITH MERRIAM.
Two Weeks Before Result of Census
Taking VIII BE Known.


Washington, June 1S.-Director Mer-
riam of the census bureau said in an in
tcrview that the results Of the work of
the cnumcrators could not be known for
at least two weeks, and it might be Il
month before the first bulletin is issued.
He stated positively that the only news
in regard to the count would be made
public through bulletins issued at the
census office.
The enumcrators are strictly forbidden
by law to give out information of any
kind in regard to their work, and if they
violate this law they will be heavily fined.
The director said that in view of this con-
dition any figures presented as the work
of the enumerators other than those con
tanned in the bulletins of the census office
would be mere speculation and could be
of no value.
The count of the population in the large
cities is practically completed, and about
$4,000 enumeration districts have been
reported as finished. The number of
cards received from enumerators up to
date is about $4,000 1t will require at
least five days to check up the work OF
the enumerators in order to ascertain the
payments due them. This will be done
in the various cities.
When this is finished, the cards will be
forwarded to Washington, where the ac
tual tabulation of returns will be begun
1t is probable that Washington will be
the first city whose population will be an
nounced, and following this probably will
come Cincinnati. Director Merriam said
that the work was progressing very sat
isfactorily and that there had been only
few bitches of minor Importance.

Whether taken by the Boxers or the

Troops Going From Manila.
The war department confirms the re-
port that the Ninth infantry has been or
dcred from Manila to China. Colonel
Emerson III. I4iscum commands the regi-
ment, which has had its headquarters at

from Manila War department officials
say that the regiment probably is already
aboard the transport and ready to sal

A dispatch from Shanghai says that
the Russian minister to China, Nj. dc

| damages to the railway.

bank, about 20 miles by water from
Tien-tsin, but only 35 by land. The
south bank of the river, on which Taxi
| is situated, ascends to an elevation o.
about 40 feet above high water mark
and it is here that the famous Taxi
forts are placed. Though looked upoI
with intense pride and deemed impreg
nable by the Chinese, these fortihcation
were taken three times by the Anglo
French fleet in the north China campaign
of 1S5S-60.
On Dec. 80, 1856, the crew of the Brit
ish vessel Thistle was murdered by th
Chinese near the mouth of the Pei-H

well directed fire from the French an
English fleets soon silenced the forts, an
the allied forces went into possession.
peace treaty was drawn up, but owing t
an infraction of the treaty terms by tn
Chinese war was renewed.
On June %, 1858, Admiral Hope, Will
attempting to force a passage past til

western central Pennsylvania, have is
sued a circular to the miners calling upon
them to contribute to the support of the
