GOLD FROM kLONDlKE.
Eighty-Hve Passengers Bring Out About
100000 In Dust.

Eighty-five Passengers Bring Out Abou,
@3OO,O In Dust.
The steamer Dirigo has arrived at
Seattle from Lynn Canal, having on
board 80 passengers. who brought about
$500, 600 in gold dust. The steamers
officers report 100 passengers at Bennett
who were unable to reach Skagway in
time to catch the Dirigo. These, it is
reported at the Skagway offices OF the
steamship company, are bringing out a
very large amount OF gold, greater. it
is said, than any party of similar size
that has yet arrived.
The largest owners of gold dust on
board the Dirigo were the Mcdonald
brothers, OF Seattle, Rolly and Donald.
The former has 230 pounds, valued at
$50, 900, and the latter 14O pounds,
valued at 100000. Charles Hutchin.
son brought out 200 pounds, valued at
Y42, 900. The remainder of the ship.
ment is owned by the remaining pas
sengers in sums ranging from $4,000
up.
The passengers all declare that this
summers output from the Klondike
will be much larger than last, and esti-
mates are made all the way from $25,
900, 900 to $40, 100000. AS yet they
say the cleanup has not started this
way, and probably will not until after
July 10.
The latest advices from the gold bear.
ing districts remote from Dawson, it is
said, show that the cleanup is almost
double the amount first reported. Bo.
nanza creek alone. it is stated, will
send out $8,000,000 to $4,000. 600,
which will be the largest amount COM
ing from any of the creeks.
The Dawson banks, it is said, have
taken up about $2,OO0,OOO already,
and when the Dirigo's passengers left.

of July. II this wish had been granted,
| 1t IL safe to say that the worthy gentle
man who expressed 1t would have been
exceedingly surprised. During the CEN
tury's sleep, says the st. Louis Repub-
lie, America had advanced from state
Of tutelage into vigorous state Of inde-
pendence, and the joy of her people at
finding their forefathers' dream Of liberty
fully realized was never more character
istically shown than on the day that
marked the centennial celebration Of the
country's greatest holiday. Verify, the
visitor from the land Of shades would
have been amazed at the sights and
sounds Of that splendid anniversary. In
a word, he would have found himself in
an entirely new world.
How amazed this worthy eighteenth
century patriot would be IL he could only
shake off his shroud and take look at
his Fatherland during the Fourth Of
July. He would then see how great are
the strides which the country has taken
since that ever-memorable day, when he
bravely signed his name to the most i'm
portant document that was ever formu-
lated in America, and 1t would not take
him long to realize the fact that the Unit
ed States have grown greatly in many
directions since their people celebrated
the centennial anniversary of the Fourth
Of July. Indeed, there are many thou
sands Of Americans who would tell him
that the country has cause to rejoice on
this Fourth Of July.
Great Achievements.
Is 1t necessary to enumerate the many
reasons for national reioicings? Do we
not all remember how American seamen
gave the death blow to SPANS colonial
power on that memorable day before the |
Fourth Of July, 189S-on the day when
the gallant but luckless Admiral Ceryera
steamed out Of Santiago Bay right into |
he arms of vigilant foe, with the result
hat he was captured and his entire
squadron was practically annihilated?

Produced.
Leadville, Colo, June 25.-From
one end of Leadville to the other min
ing activity is ON the inrease, and the
outlook for the future was never so
bright. The camp last month produced
over $4,000 tons of ore from its mines
already opened up, which had valua-
tion of considerably over $1,000, 900.
In addition to these producing mines
dozen new enterprises were inaugurated
that when they open up new ore bodies
will subsequently be as great as any of
the propositions already producing.

LESSON FROM
An Excellent Presentation of the
Economy Effected by the Con-
%struction of Good Roads.

A report recently made by the high
way division of the Maryland state
geological survey affords an excellent
presentation of the economy effected
blythe construction of good roads. The
report shows that the cost of building
extensive roads is exceedingly small
compared with the saving effected by
the reduced cost of transportation.
The main country roads of the state
are 1,5O0 miles in length, and the cost
of thoroughly improving these roads
being placed at $4,000 a mile, which will
provide the best kind of roads,, the
total expense to the state would be
$4,000, O00. A computation is made OF
the cost of hauling freight from the
farms to the markets. The report
states hat 'the average distance each
ton of freight is hauled to or from the
Maryland farm is ca miles; the aver
age cost is &c cents n mile per ton, or
STA a ton for the whole haul. There
are about 5,0OO,0 GOO acres of farm land
in Maryland. and there is about one
ton of freight hauled annually per
WV WI NdNb III. II toldl
cost, therefore. of the transportation
is over SS.500,00O a year. The cost of
hauling in New Jersey has been re-
duced one-half since the roads were
improved. Therefore, by improving
Maryland roads one-half of this sum
could be saved"
This calculation makes it appear
that the construction of good roads
would effect an annual saving to the
Maryland farmers of over S4,OOO,OG0
every year. whereas the total cost of
building 1,50O miles of improved roads
would be but $4,000, 900. The returns
on this investment would be tremen-
dous. This calculation as made in
Maryland applies equally well to Wis
consin and other states. The money
put in good roads pays enormouf

A FARMERS STORY.
Life Is DishearteninE In More
Ways Than One.

Good roads bring the farm close to
the city line. This is what a farmer
in Lincoln county, Wis, has to say
about the effect of bad roads: The
farmers in the town of Russell can
not get to Merrill with a load of hay
or a load of potatoes-the produce
they get their money from-and by
not being able to market their prod
uce they are compelled to get along
without clover seed, timothy seed,
some choice seed barley or spring
wheat, or some new variety of farfr
seed that may be very profitable to
them if they could get their truck to
market when there is a market value
on it. There have been a number of
new settlers to start in this spring, and
while these parties were moving in 1T
was very common to see n team get
mired and lie down. The first team
that happened to come along would
hitch on to the team and draw them

allowing the horses to get OF solid
ground. II takes TWO days to make
a trip of Is miles, and $500 pounds
is n big load for a good team: so by
the time the farmer gets home he has
been to more expense than the load
brings in the market. He has there
fore given away his load and worked

which would require a two-horse team,

utilized for this leveler while the
shoes can be made from two planks

The LocatIon OF Creameries.

When the agents of a creamery con-
'ern are trying to place the stock of a
new outfit, seeking subscriptions from
the farmers of a community, it is not
4 question of the profitableness of the
creamery at Elgin or any other dairy
district. but rather a question of the
probability of getting a full supply of
milk throughout the year for the
creamery that is proposed. Many
