WILL STAND FOR
 THE STATE SENATE
Sheriff 0'Brien Will Go Before
 County Convention.
HAS SERVED IN THE HOUSE
Was a Member of the Morgan Cam paign Committee, and is Desir- ous of Casting Vote for
 the old Roman"

Sheriff Frank P. O'Brien will be a candi- date for the state senate before the Jeffer- son county convention next Saturday.
 Sheriff O 'Brien announced some months ago, but withdrew from the race, and it was understood that he would stand for the lower house. The announcement that he would be a candidate for the senate was made yesterday.
 Sheriff OBrien has served one term in the lower house from this county, and made a splendid record.
 He was a member of the Morgan state campaign committee, and did faithful and valuable service throughout the campaign. Captain Brien says that he is desirous of voting for Senator Morgan in the joint session of the legislature next November, and wishes to otherwise serve the people as a member of the senate.
 Sheriff O'Brien has many friends who would be glad to see him elected to the senate, and it is believed that his candi- dacy will receive the thoughtful and ia . yorable consideration of the delegates to the convention.

GLORIOUS WEATHER
Favored Opening of Paris Exposition to
 General Public

Paris, April 15.-Glorious weather favor ed the opening of the exposition to the general public today, and immense crowds focked into the grounds. The area of the exhibition, however, is so great that there is no crush. Comparatively few Parisians were to be seen. Aware of the great back wardness of the preparations, they re- mained away for the most part.
 The management demanded two en- trance tickets for morning admission one for afternoon admission, and two during the evening, when the Eiffel tower and the palaces on the Champs de Marse were il- luminated. But there were absolutely no attractions provided, not even a band of music, and the people promenaded in front of the empty, and in many cases, unfinish- ed buildings, and along roads where only in the case of the main avenues had the work of paving been completed.
 Visitors who left the Central Roteries found their pathway filed with pitfalls and heaped with debries, some thorough fares resembling mere bridal paths.
 The crowd, however, was perfectly good natured and took the matter philosoph- ically. Hardly a murmur was heard any, where in the way of criticism.
 The moving sidewalks, access to which cost 50 centimes, proved a great success, and was jammed throughout the day.
 The American national pavilion remain ed closed. So also did most of the other pavilions, for the excellent reason that their interiors are still unfinished.

ATHLETIC CLUB JOINS
Burning of the Boys Former Guar tors Induces Them to Join With tho Y. M. c. A. in Establishing First-olass Club.

The Y. N. C. A. Is making a strong ef> fort to add gymnasium and bath features to the present aggressive work, thus mak. ing it an all round work for men.
 Since the inauguration of the work in Skagway eighteen months ago. the asso- citation has been anxious to make the phv- teal work one of the features, but the want of suitable building has made it out of the question.
 However, the burning of the athletic club building in which the youth of Skag' way had taken such an active interest has caused the Y. N. C. A. to consider the building and equlpplng of gymnasium at once to plate at their disposal, there being no building in Sksgway at the present time adapted to this work.
 The association has fund of seven o' eight hundred dollars set apart for build' ing purposes and 1t Is proposed to use thl: fund for the erection and equipping Of gymnasium and equlpping same witt baths.
 To make this possible It will first b' necessary to secure lease of the rear DOT tion of the lot owned by the Presbyterian church. This would make It possible tc connect the two buildings and give access to the gymnasium through the presen

for the Interior, many will no doubt stay in Dawson some time, and in time go or down the river 10 the all talked of Amerl- can camp.
 ''Oi the baggage that accumulated here after the arrival of the five steamers Sun day and Monday, fully 100 parcels were in the depot yesterday, and the Cottage City last night brought many more passengers who will be on hand in time with bag gage. The next train out from Skagway will carry a crowd that will be worth seeing"
 lt Is estimated that ninety per cent. of the pas ,enEers coming to Skagwav from the south are bound for interior joints. This would mean that of the number which have arrived here since the begin ming of the week 27o are going to the Yukon Basin.
 Simultaneously with this recognition of the carly movement to Nome by the way of Skagwav comes the news from the Sound that rates by the ocean route have been advanced by some of the companies, and that perhaps other lines will follow suit. The P.-l. of February 23rd says;
 Though no formal compact has been entered into, the companies operating the steamships Senator, Tacoma and Ohio have advanced the price Of frSt.eIaSS pass sage from Seattle to Nome from sIoo to sI2S.
 Tt Is understood that these rates will be strictly adhered to, and it Is not im> probable that other lines will join In the movement for higher transportation charges"
 As indicative the Nome rush by the Yukon route is felt beyond Skagyay the following from late Dawson Daily Nug> get may be considered:
 "Twenty-four people with six sleds and twenty eight dogs left yesterday for Nome. Nearly all who contemplate the long trip over the Ice will get away within the next ten days, as 1t Is thought that In fifty davs-the best time in which the swifteSt travellers can hope 10 make the trtp-the Ice wllI be getting very treleherous and dangerous"
 Many who will not get to Nome over the ice will take steamers or other craft from points along the river with the open ing of the stream.

'b|G COAL MINES FOUND IN KLOND|KE
High Grade Lignite DiscOv-
 cred Near Dawson
NOW BEING DEVELOPED
Tunnels Being Run Gold Miners to Have Lasting Supply of Fuel Near at Hand.

Agreat deposit of fine coal Is reported by the Dawson Daily News as having been discovered on Rock Creek, close to the big gold yielding creeks of Bonanza, Hunker, Dominion and Sulphur
 The coal mines are owned by the Alas ka Exploration company, of which R. L. tulda, who passed through Sksgway for the outside few days ago. is manager.
 William Ogilvie, commissioner of the Yukon territory, and F. X. Gosselin, the timber land agent, have made personal ex- aninations of every tunnel and drits in the mine and say the mine is exceptionally rich, and that 1t has an excellent quantity of coal. The growing scarcity of wood in the country appreciates the value of the coal.
 The Rock Creek coal lands comprising about I7oo acres, are situated about TO miles from Dawson on the right or south fork Of Rock creek, a tributary to the Klondike. The original locators of this property were Charles. R. Mcleod, N. ]. Gates, A. Gillls and M. Marsden. Each located r6o aeerS in November. 1898, and the A. C. Co.,, through Mr. fultl, seeur> ed the land from the loeators and started work on 1t in July, ISoo This develop. ment work has been kept up in the face of many diseouraging circumstances, as the uncertainty of the results compelled the strleteSt economy in the method of working, and for long time the slow process of hand windass was used, but which is now increased by complete steam plant. The number of men, also. has been increased little by little until to. day about B men are steadily employed getting out coal and sinking the shaft to still greater depths, with several dumps that represent between 900 to 400 tons rsadv for the market.
 The property Is Tn charge of N. Mars den, who as manager of the mine Is drlv- ground as possible in order to demonstrate the extent of lhe coal basin. The fore man of the mine Is w. E. Jones and the outside mine manager is Wilired George, all capable men, to whose work in their respective departments is largely due the present successful operations.
 The company has at present driven through over 500 feet of tunneling in all, and 1t shows upa good, permanent seam of coal that averages about five feet in thickness. or this distance they have driven through oyer 200 feet of solid coal, with drifts covering over 90 feet, which are also in solid coal. In fact the coal already In sight Is estimated to aggregate about 8,oOo tons.
 The quality is first grade Ignite of a density that will equal in value and re- suits the combination of two and one'half cords of wood. For steaming purposes the results of a number of tests made in town and on the creeks show 1t to rate first class. The quality is improving with every foot sunk and the wofkmen have now reached a point where the coal is practically free from frosts.

Cooperative Road Making.

What farmers can do by CO.
operation in the matter of road
making is interestingly told by a
Michigan correspondent of the
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t is 8
sandy country where the cores
pondent lives, and the roads were
generally poor throughout the
year. The town was poor also,
and refused to improve the high
ways. Then the farmers decided
to help themselves. About i've
years ago twenty-five of them
came together and offered to haul
mari Ole day free if the township
would allow them to take the mari
from it's bed. The township was
willing, and about twenty men
volunteered to shovel and level the
mari, and so the first half mile
was laid. That road proved such;
a success that the next year an
other half mile was put down.
This mari packed down. 80 hard
and made such excellent bed for
gravel that the farmers donated d
S225 and labor for about one
quarter mile of gravel. This be-
ing put on in what was always a
wet place, it was spread about
eight inches thick. Next year.
$3.50 was collected and about one,
half mile was put down spreading
this only about four inches. This: lit':.
wear only s1OO was collected, but,
a quarter mile strip was put down.,
finishing the mile started Eve years. q
before. Besides this about a half
mile of mari was put down ready
for gravel next fall. This action!
of the farmers stirred up the
townspeople atlarge, and now low. the. Il J.
town has offered to raise $500 fors
gravel if the farmers will farnish5
the labor to shread it. That they
will do willingly. W
