NEWS FROM THE KLoNDIKE.
Many Lucky Gold Seekers Return
From the Mines.

Victoria, B. c., July 23.-The steamer
Amur has reached here, bringing the lar
gest number of rich Klondikers and more
gold than has previously arrived from
the north this season. There is at least
$1000,000 in gold dust on board the
steamer and 80 passengers, one-third of
whom made fortunes in the far north.
The general opinion Of these men, who
are actually engaged in mining. is that
the output for the year will be $25,000,-
600. This large output is accounted for
by the fact that just as much gold is now
being taken out in summer as in winter.
An American who went over the creeks
to estimate the output said it was hard
to make an estimate, as claim owners re-
fuse to give the output for fear that the
royalty of 10 per cent will be eXacted by
the government. Many of the largest
claims barely pay expenses, and if they
paid a royalty there would be loss for
the year.
Doctors say there are no cases of small
pox in Dawson, but some typhoid. Ar
rangements for the suppression Of dis
ease are of the very best.
The American and Canadian boundary
commissioners have completed their work
above Haines' Mission and are now work
ing at White pass.

SUPERINTENDENT TWITMYER
New Director of Public School Sys-
tenn Will Begin Work in Sep
famhap

Professor George w. Twitmyer, re-
Gently elected superintendent of pnblic
schools to succeed David w. Harlan, will
begin his work when the schools open
the first week in September.
Professor Twitmyer was born at Zion,
Centre county, Pa, June 8, lS49. His
father WAS farmer and his boyhood
days were spent on the farm, where he
developed robust constitution and
learned lessons OF industry, self-denial
and perseverance that have contributed
in no small degree to his success as
teacher. He was educated in the public
schools of Centre county, the Centre
Normal School and largely by private
tuition. In 1883, Franklin and Mar
shall College conferred upon him the
degree of A. NJ, in recognition of
his attainments as scholar and
his work as teacher. In 1890,
he passed the examination of the
State Board at the Mansfield State Nor
NAL School in the scientific course and
received the degree of M. S. He also
holds a life certificate in the State of New
York. AS a child he was fond of books
and study; he continues to be lover of
good books and is hard student and un-
firing worker. His library contains all
bne standard WORKS on pedagogy IN bn6
English language and many OF the most
popular ones in the German language.
He is close investigator of all that per-
tains to education and educational sci
cence. He possesses in a large measure
all the qualities that go to make the sue
cessful teacher. AS an institute instruc-
tor he is popular and successful; he
knows the needs of schools and teachers
and has the happy faculty of making his
instruction helpful and suggestive.
He was elected principal of the Homes,
dale, Pa, public schools on August l,
1884, and remained there until June l,
1896, when he was elected superintend-
ent of schools of Bethlehem In May
1899, he was reelected superintendent
of the Bethlehem schools for three wears.
Prior to his going to Honesdale he was
principal of the schools at Watertown,
McEwensville, Chatham Run and Miles,
burg, Pa, and at each place gained an
enviable reputation as an instructor and
became popular. During the past few
years he has had many calls from Della
ware, Ohio, New Jersey and 16 counties
in Pennsylvania.
