Nearly One Half This Year.


Washington. d. C.-That the Klon-
dixie Ia not the poor mans country Is
suggested In a report to the State De-
partment from Consul Brush at Ma
CARA Falls. who tells the Department
about a recent examination into the
business prospects Of the Yukon terri.
tory by the Canadian Manufacturers
Association. An agent was sent to
Dawson some time ago. His official
report shows that the total yield Of
gold last year In the Klondike was $24.-
100000. The production of the coming
year. according to Government esti-
mates. will not exceed $14.OOO.0O0. No
new discoveries have been made for
over n year. although. since 1897. thou
sands Of prospectors have been expl0r.
ing every creek and mountain in the
country.
The Canadian company's agent states
that at Dawson there were ten appli-
cants for every chance to work. and
yet. many boatloads of men continue TO
arrive. the transportation companies
helping to keep up the illusion that
Dawson Is the poor mans paradise.

KILLED By EARTHQUAKES
About Twenty Native Victims ofSeis
mic Disturbances in Mindanao.


ManIla.--The Island Of Mindanao has
been shaken by a series Of earth
quakes. The Inhabitants were terror
lied and a few Moros were killed.
There were no American casualties
The commissary buildings and the
Moro forts were badly damaged.

earthshocks and 400 slight tremors
were felt at Zamboango. MindanaO.
Washington, D. C.-The War De
partment has received dispatch from
General Chaffee, at Manila. reporting
the occurrence Of q series Of earth
0uakes on the Island Of Mindanao
Twenty persons were killed by falling
walls. the victims all being Moros. The
Americans in the vicinity escaped. and
the dispatch says there were no reports
that any Of the soldiers occupying that
portion Of the island affected sustained
any injuries. The upheaval occurred In
the country adjacent to the Lake Of
Lanao. in the Moro section Of the ISL.
and. near Camp Yickers. which Is now
the headquarters Of the American
forces stationed Ia Mindanao. General
Chaffee's dispatch says the mountains
and rivers and other streams were
considerably disturbed. and much dam
age was done.
It Is presumed here that the seismic
shocks occurred about FIVE days ago.
though the date Is not mentioned In
the dispatch.
This is the first serious earthquake
reported from that country since Amer.
lean occupation Of the Philippines. The
most important previous seismic dis.
turbance In Mindanao was the one
that partly destroyed Palak. Kota.
Batu and the villages on the banks of
the River Mindanao In 1872. This
phenomenon closely followed the efup-
tlon Of the volcano Of Makaturin.
General Chaffee also said that the
situation In the island In that section
remains quiet and unchanged. No at.
tacks have been made on the American
forces at Camp Vickers since the last
report. which was sent eight days ago.
