CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Rev. DR.. Ament the American board
missionary at Pekin. collected private ill.,
IDENTITIES for his native Christian con-
verts from the Chinese villages where
they had suffered losses. Rev. Mr..
Tewksbury, a Presbyterian missionary,
did the same thing. Presumably other
Protestant missionaries also followed that
curse. 1t is rather puzziing. therefore
that the missionaries as a body. with
apparent unanimity, should in their res
olutions adopted late in January. have
criticised the note to the Chinese govern.
ment. agreed to by the Powers, because
il failed to demand a special indemnity
or behalf OF the Christian Chinese. Why
should Revs. Ament and Tewksbury have
joined in such criticism when they had
already collected indemnities on their
own responsibility"

When the Queen died speculation ran
rife respecting the size of the private
fortune she left. Some estimates placed
the sum as high as 100000 to $25,0Oo.O OJ,
while few Of them went below $1,000. 0Oa.
1t was known that the Queen had been
thrifty, and had made good Investments.
There was no means of ascertaining how
great her wealth was, hence one per-
sons guess was about as good as an
others. AS is usually the case when a
rich person dies, the guessers shot high
over the mark. The Herald London
correspondent wires that he has it upon
reliable authority that the gross
amount of the Queens estate, Including
investments, cash and personal proper
ty outside of what rightfully beings to
the crown, will not exceed 100000 49,,
0t0,0OO.) The bulk of the estate consists

A Christian Science healer testified in a
New York court day or two ago that
the healers usually gave the personal
treatment" because it satisfied the pa
tent and the family better; ''they believe
ii is the personality that cures" But
the absent treatment" the healer con-
tinued, 'is just as good as the personal
treatment" which is no doubt quite true.

A MIMIMG MAN
 DISAPPEARS
W. L. Midgely, Who Was Operating No. Below on Ruby Creek,
 Casadepaga.

w. l.. Midgcly, the owner of what is supposed to be valuable placer mine on Ruby creek, Cas- !epaga district, has left the country Midgely was a passenger out on the last trip of the Oregon. He went away so quietly that but very few of his friends knew of his intended departure.
 Midgely bought No. below on Ruby last year and it is said that mortgage falls due on Sept. 20, and another on Oct. l. Midgely had expended a good deal of money in opening up the claim. and was employing quite a number of men and two teams of horses. The claim is said to be a good one and Midgely would have won out in time, but he seems to have become discOur aged and quit. It is said that he wrote a letter to his foreman on the claim, telling him to do the best he could for the men, many of whom he owed for wages from Sl00 to $20O, and stating that he did not intend to return. Then he sent friend to the ticket office who bought him a ticket under ali assumed name. It is positively stated that Mir. idgely had but little money with him.

And Oil, as We'll as the Amount of Each to Be Found iu the Bosom of Mother Earth -- Captain Williams Goes to Oakland to Investigate.

Captain Lew Williams. who formerly owned the whaler fiidal2o. wrecked al Point Barrow a few years ago, will be u passenger out on the l.Danokt. Captain Williams. who ha, been en- gagged in mining in this section the present l,ea,ou, will investigate the invention iOf an Oakland. Cal. man. who not only lays claim to locate new oil and god fields. but the amount of gold and oil to be found deep down in the bowels of Mother Earth. There may De something in the old professors claim. for he really has q power, scientific or otherwise. which seems wholly his own.
 The professor, for such he is called. in his search for gold call, to his aid Il battery at the end of two N-shaped rattan sticks. When searching for oil he takes hold of the handles with the battery pointing away from his body. He moves slowly alcng the oil belt. when all of a sudden the battery twists out of his hands and falls to the ground. As it does so, the professor calls out: Its .0OO barrel well or 1O0.OlO- barrel well" as the case may be. The professor then explains that the strength of the current thrown off from the oil determines the amount of oil in the underground channel.
 The same proce,, is gone over with another battery wien gold is sought for. Sometimes the old man eX- periments for the benefit of the curious in his office, for the purpose of proving that oil and gold both give off currents of such force that the battery instantly responds the moment 1t comes in con tact with them. At such experiments a stranger may hold the battery. only to find that they all but twist out of his hands whenever he approaches gold carelessly flung on the floor or center table, or in passing filled oil cans.
 Captain Williams. therefore, will ex- anime the invention and the professor for himself, and if he is satisfied that either or both is genuine he will bring them to Nome next spring.

THREE NEW
 CREEKS LOCATED
BM Jones Tells of a Rich Strike Recently Made in the Sinrock
 Country.

A big placer strike is reported some- where in the Sinrock country, but it's exact location seems to be profound secret, as the discoverers are not hand ing out much information. It is al sleged that excellent prospects have bBen found in thnse creeks, named Bulliom Belmont and Oakland.
 Bill Jones. Jack Eayan and George Anderson came in. from these creeks Tuesday night, and judging by what they tell, the creeks promise to turn out exceedingly we'll. Joass says the distance from the coast is about seven miles. He will take up pump and go to work on one of the claims. He also says he refused S5, GOO for half inter- est in three claims, and that Eagan sold half interest in a similar num- ber of claims for $7,OOO. At any rate, Eagan sailed Wednesday for the out side, so Jones says. but Eagan himself stated that he was bound for Good News bay.

 GRIM ES Seventy seven Indictments for Various Offences.
TINE COMPLETE LIST
Of the Number Indicted 7O Have Either Been C0nvicted or ACquit- ted, Wfaile One Broke Jail and Es- caped-37 Prisoners Now In Jail.

Since August %, 1900, when the first grand jury was called together iu this judicial division something like 17 il.- dictmentsr alleging various offences, have been returned. The namber of persons indicted was 173.
 The crimes tDc which these persons were indicted and the number of each follow: Larceny, 3,: assault, including assault with dangerous, weapon and assault with intent to kill, l4 passing bogus gold dust, l; murder, 1; smbezzle- ment, ,: embeZZlement of public funds, ?, obtaining money under al,e pre- tsnses. f; robbery, ); forgery, ,; burg lary, ?; receiving stolen goods, l. Of the total number 20 have either been convicted or cleared. The remainder of the cases have never been brought to trial, some of them having been on the calendar since year ago. Some of the indicted persons were never found, the! having probably left the country: a few more are under bonds and d number are in the federal jail for some months past awaiting trial.
 It will be seen from the above table that the crime of larceny is by far the most common, there having been 37 in- dintments on that charge alone: assault of various kinds comes next, indict- ments numbering If; embezzlement and robbery are next in order, there having been five indictments on each of those charges. The men indicted for robbery were Allen, DOlan and Flaw kins and Bowers and Miller. Miller. it will be remembered, escaped from the jail last spring and he has not since in- formed the authorities of his where abouts. The others have been convict ed and sentenced.
 Three grand juries have met since August. 1900, the last in May of this .Year. There are now g prisoners in tho federal jail, four of whom are under sentence. These are Chas. Libby, lar oeny, Frank Bowers, robbery, Hans Iohansen, larceny and A. G.. Banks. larceny

330 POUNDS
 OF GOLD DUST
Brought Up. From the Wild Goose Csmpany's Ophir Creek
 MineS~

The gasoline schooner Barbara Hern- ster came up from GOlovin bay last Monday night having small but ex- csedingly valuable cargo. This con- sisted of 33O poundsy avoirdupois. of gold dust, worth at least $113.000- The gold came from the Wild Goose Com pany's Ophir creek mines, Council City district.
 All the reports which reach Nome concerning the work being done on Ophir, Crooked, Sweetcake and other creeks in that section are encouraging and the output this year from that sec tion will be very much larger than last
