DID, WELL IN / 0ND|KlE
Welton Mcdonald of Dickinson One Of
the Men Who Was Successful
in the Klondike.
Leaves Thmorrow to Return to Dawson
City and Resume Work on His
< Claims there.

Among the guests in the city last
evening was Welton Mcdonald of
Dickinson, n of the few men who
went from the western part of the
state to the Klondike region, and made
a success Of mining. Mcdonald has
two valuable claims, one of them on
Bonanza and anothvr on Sulphur
creek and both of them have PANIED
out we'll and Mr.. Mcdonald has
cleaned up a neat fortune from his
mining operations there. He leaves
tomorrow On his return trip to Alaska
and will put in the summer on his
claims. He employs twelve to ff-
teen men on his claims, paying them
$3.50 a day each or S. and board, the
cost of boarding a laboring man there
being about 81 so a day. The trip
from Skaguay to the mining regions
about Dawson City is now made in
comparative ease and comfort. There
is a railroad from Skaguay to White
Horse, and from there to Dawson City
the trip is made by stages, there be-
ing three lines in operation between
the end of the railroad and Dawson
City. The distance is a little over
400 miles and the. trip is made in ten
days. Last year the charge for the
stage was $125, and it will probably be
a little less this year.
The methods of mining have
changed considerably since the first
gold fields were discovered in Klon-
dixie. Then the ground had to be
thawed by the building of great wood
fires, and the little space that was
thawed out was worked afterward.
Now steam is used for thawing the
ground, and the work is done much
quicker and more cheaply. The gold
bearing earth is found at bed rock and
a couple of feet above it, and a shaft
is sunk and the earth taken out and
washed. The sluicing and washing
season lasts from about the middle of
May until the latter part of September
when the freeze-up comes. Fair pay
dirt averages about a dollar to the
bucket of earth, a bucket holding
about two bushels. Last season about
$50 buckets Of earth a day was
handled on McDonald's claim. The
gold occurs in all grades of fneness,
from the size of flour to good sized
nuggets. The largest nugget ever
found in the vicinity of Dawson
weighed about $1,000.
Conditions have improved in the vi
entity of Dawson and prices have
come down somewhat. With the
building OF the railroad, vegetables and
fresh meat car be shipped in, and are
to be found on the menu at the var
ious camps. Hay and oats have also
reduced in price, hay costing now
about 6 and 6h cents a pound. The
first hay brought into Dawson cost
about 5000 a ton, against a price now
Of about 1926 a ton. The grass about
Dawson makes good fodder when
green, but after it is cut has no sus-
tanning qualities or n~ourishment.
Wherever the moss is disturbed, a rank
growth Of this grass appears but it is
OF no use for winter fodder. Keep
ing horses in the vicinity of Dawson
is expensive, a teams keep for the
months Of October and November
costing about $500.
Quartz lodges have not been dis

PHAT TAX DECISION.

Auditor Moorhouse: I clip the fol-
lowing from the Fargo Forum, and
wish the Tribune would publish it,
with reference to the decision Of Judge
Pollock some time ago regarding the
assessment of property to unknown
persons. Judge Pollock reverses his
former decision and gets right on the
question. The matter is of interest
generally and is as follows:
In an exhaustive opinion. covering
seven closely typewriter pages, which
Judge Pollock filed in court today the
judge reversed his former decision in
the case Of the county against John
Hertzler and holds now that it is not
absolutely incumbent upon the county
auditor to make out real estate assess
ments in the name of the owner, if
the same is known, or, if not to so
state. Some weeks ago the matter
came before the Judge on a motion
and without a rehearing he decided
impromptu that the name of owner,
if possible, must be given, if not then,
it must be so stated. Subsequently
the states attorney moved for a re-
hearing and a thorough argument of
the case. Judge Pollock granted the
rehearing and the matter was gone
into with full arguments from both
sides and the decision filed today is in
response to that r%ehearing. States
Attorney Smith and Morrill, & Engerud
appeared for the county and Newman,
Spalding & stambaugh appeared for
Hertzler.

PENDANTS.
The court in the above case set
aside a Judgment formerly entered
therein, and ordered a rehearing; at
which time counsel for the respective
parties appeared and argued the case
thoroughly. The court took the same
under advisement and has handed
down a lengthy written opinion, hold,
ing in substance that under the present
revenue law which has been in force
since 1897, the tax on land is not a
tax against the person, but consti-
tutes a lien on the land and is not a
personal charge against the owner,
hence the provisions of section 1908
requiring the auditor in making out
the assessment book of real property
to give the name of owners, if to him
known, and if unknown to so state
were simply directory and the failure
to assess the property in dispute in
the name of the true owner did. not
make void the tax. The court stat
ing in substance that in his opinion
the statement to the contrary appear
ing in the case of Roberts VS.. Bank, 8
North Dakota, 5O4, not being neces-
sary to the decision in that case, was
obiter dictum, and not binding upon
this court.

EMPERoR'S YACHT DAMAGED
Meteor III Breaks Away from It's
TOwboat and ColIides
with Pier.

NEW YORK, March 31.-Meteor III, yacht
OF the German emperor, was damaged while
being towed clear Of it's berth at Shooter
island for it's trial spin today. The tug
A. A. Sumner had a line on Meteor and was
pulling II out OF it's berth. The tugs
steering gear suddenly gave away and
Meteor was left helpless. 1t had con-
siderable Roadway and collided with a pier
in the basin OF the dock. It's port rail
was stove In and the large counter plate at
its stern was badly dented. The yacht
was not badly damaged. but while 1t con-
tinued on to sea for its trial spin. 1t will
return to Stapleton, Staten Island, for a
more careful survey before 1t starts on its
journey across the Atlantic.
At 2:3O o'clock Meteor was headed up
through the Narrows when a sudden squall
carried 1t over until its starboard rail was
under water and Its under body Of brown
showed we'll above water on the port side.
The skipper OF the yacht did not ease It in
the least. compelling 1t to take the full
force Of the breeze.
After a little while the yacht showed it's
ability to stand the pressure and the jib-
stay-sails was taken In. While the squall
prevailed it's speed was terrific. At 2:40
o'clock It returned on Tompkinsville.

Admits Murder, but Says He
Was Paid to Conn
init II.

BINGHAMToN, N. Y, March 31.-William
Carter, a halfbreed Indian, who is under
arrest for the attempted murder Of Charles
Carman at Port Crane, made a con-
fession under oath today, in which he ad-
mits the crime and alleges that he shot
Carman at the instigation OF DR.. G. ].
Tiffany, h he says, paid him to kill Car
man. In an afidavit Carter says DR.. Tif-
fanny promised him 325 to kill Carman, with
more "twenty-Hves" when the murder was
committed. He says Tiffany gave him
money to buy a revolver.
Continuing, Carter says:
DR.. TIFFANY told me just how to shoot
Carman. He showed me Just the spot on
the side OF the head to shoot to be GER
tain to kill him. Last Wednesday night
l went to DR.. T1ffany's barn and stayed
there until S:S when l went to the back
OF Carman's barn, where remained until
Mr.. Carman came out with his lantern.
After he had gone inside the barn, went
to the door and waited until Mr.: Carman
came out, when I fired one shot at him.
He slung his lantern at me and then some
wood. I was scared and stood for a min
ute looking at him. He yelled and then /
ran.
The authorities by comparing his state
ment with the known facts and the state
ment of Mr.. Carman claim to find very
many points Of corroboration.
DR.. Tiffany, who was arrested as an ac-
cessory before the fact, denies Carriers al
legation in every point and declares that
he had no foreknowledge OF the shooting of
Carman.

LETS WOMEN PRACTICE LAW
Maryland Legislature Passes Bill tie
moving Restriction from
Legal Profession.

ANNAPOLIS. Md, March S1.-The house
today by a vote of "a to 9 passed the SEN
ate bill to permit the admission Of women
as members Of the bar. An amendment was
adopted to the effect that no one should
be denied admission to the bar "on account
OF race. color or previous condition Of
servitude."
The senate passed the bill as amended
by the house and it only needs the sigma
ture OF the governor to become a law.
Considerable opposition to the house
amendment was shown, but rather than
endanger the bill the senate accepted IL.
The bill was introduced in the interest
Of Miss Eta Maddox. who was graduated
from a Baltimore law school last year, but
was debsrred by decision Of the courts from
practicing in the state. The young woman
has worked for the bill at Annapolis during
a large part of the session.
