RICH GOLD MINES
,a,ecovERED IN THE PORCUPINE COUNTRY IN ALASKA.
u,s Been Turned Over to Canada by Secretary Hays Modus Vi-
 vendi.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Prompt

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Prompt- " on the establishment of the Alas kan boundary in such a way as to tbrow into British territory the Por- cunine country, which hatl been held bv the United tSates by undisnuted title for thirty years, news has come of discoveries of rich gold mines there which are likely to make that region rival the Klondike.
 Something of the kind was suspected some time ago, partly from the fact | that Great Britain was so anxious to acquire that region, the British scent for gold being the keenest on earth, whether in the torrid lands of South Africa or in those of the frozen re- gions of the North.
 The American miners in that coun- try who found themselves given away by Secretary Hays modus vivendi and transferred bag and baggage to British sovereignty objected bitterly to the transfer but in vain the Seere- tary's long stay at the English capital aflicting him with sort of mental blindness when the rights of Ameri- cans conflict with the wishes of the British. This transfer will cause Can- adian laws to apply to American mines and will probably enable the subjects of the King to choose Ameri- can miners out of number of the richest mines in the region in dispute.
 Under the terms of the modus, it is alleged by American miners that while our government was in ignor- ance of the fact that gold in paying quantities existed in the section sur rendered, the British were better in formed.
 I It is now said that within 45 miles of the village of Haines, and about the same distance from Klukwan three creeks have been found whose old eposits eqaul those of the Klon- dike. One of these rivulets has been named Bear creek while another is called Clear creek These two streams empty into the Porcupine river, near the head of Chilkat inlet. The nearest point reached by steamer is Haines, though it is said that three lines of steamers will run to Klukwan as soon as navigation opens.
 Mrs. Mary E. Hitchcock. who wrote
 Two Women in the Klondike" and who has large interests near Skag- way, is preparing to go to the new region in the spring.
 T am satisfied that the reports from what is now known as the British Por- cuplne river district are not exagger- ated,, she says There are less than one hundred men on the ground now and some of those have gone in this winter over the ice The place has been very difficult of access, but there IS now talk of running an electric rail road there from Haines The distance

SINKING OF THE
CITY or COLI ONDA,

Paducah, KY, Aug. 20. During
very severe storm last night the
steamer City Of Golconda upset while
trying TO land at Crowells, six miles
from this city. The boat turned over
while the passengers were at supper.
There were about sixty persons aboard
at the time.
Capt. Jesse Bauer and Pilot r. n.
Peck swan to shore and rescued all In
sight. Capt Peck stated that when
the boat struck there was no time to
escape. She went down on her side in
ten feet-of water, and what few were
found struggling in the water chung TO
yawl and reached shore. After the
wind had subsidized the crew rowed to
the wreck, but found no one, and Of all
the women on board only one is known
to have been saved. Capt. Peck states
that the books will have to be found
before 1t can be determined who and
how many are lost.
The City of Golconda piled between
this city and Elizabethtown, ILL., The
boaSleft Elizabethtown at p. M, and
was due to arrive here at p. m. She
had an unusually good passenger list,
as she was the only boat coming down
yesterday.
The Inflated boat was valued a
$500, and had been in trade several
years.
t7Capt. Jesse Baer said:
Gin my opinion the people in the
cabin were drowned instantly, as die
not hear scream come from the cabin
Usually in such accidents steamboat
will rock back and forth several time
before turning over bnt the Golcondl
went over without any of this, and !
7 all happened SO quickly that ii is
wonder any of us got out alive"
Two boats with three Divers and sal
wage corps left here this morning TO
: work on the wrecked steamer. The
report since noon that the loss of lif
! will exceed twenty, and that no re
! vised list can be had till the boat
!, raised and the books as well as tn
bodies recovered.
The divers report that the cabir
n which was closed when the storm cam
up was full of dead bodies.
o The boat is seventy-fve yards froi
' the Kentucky shore in eighteen fee
of water, head down stream, dificu
! Of access every way, and the recover
