merly elaborated by the late Gen. Loris
MelIkov.
The secretary of the Russian embassy
speaking for Count Cassini, stated this
afternoon that the rumor was absolutely
without foundation. and that the coustitu-
ton referred to never existed
He said:
THE constitution referred to as having
been elaborated upon by the late Gen.
I.oris MeIikov never existed There wag
some talk at one time Of forming con-
stitution, but the scheme never got be
vond the minds of those who proposed it.
No one in Russia ever knew what the con-
stitution would be if it were adopted No
inquiries could ever bring even the most
uuimportant facts to light regarding it.
"A constitution of any sort in Russia
which concerned the government would.
of course, mean the limiting OF the p5weI'
of the Gar and the establishment OF a
parliament. 1t could mean nothing else.
But what this constitution advocated
by General Melikov actually proposed
along these lines could never be learned.
Therefore there cannot possibly be the
slightest truth in the report that the Car
will give to the people of Russia con-
stftution similar to one that never eX-
listed
I certainly cannot understand, he add
ed s'how all these rumorS that purporS
to originate IN my country reach America
There is not the slightest foundation for
truth in the majority of them. They are.
al a rule, SO utterly false as 20 be absurd
and even laughabIe.

 cent.

NIT. C. Hammond, who returned yesterday from Slate, says that SoOO,0Oo Is a very conservative es- innate of the output of Slate creek and Miller gulch for this season. He estimates that kraemer's claim will produce about S100,OOO; Mil lcr's claim about the same amount; Tacoma claim $15,0O0; Sandberg'~ claim 1000 and the other claims on Miller gulch and Slate creek will bring the total considerably above the half million mark.
 Hammond brought out about S50,0o0 for various parties, and others who have left Slate recently also have large amounts, but will not give the exact figures.
 Mir. Hammond will buy some more horses and return immediate lv to Slate creek.

IS TO HAVE A HYDRAULIC
 OUTFIT
largest in thb }e(tion
1900 Foot Tunnel to be Cut. Many Men Will Soon Be Elm
 ployed.

Valdez is to have one of the most extensive hydraulic mines in western Alaska, and it will be in operation in short time and will have large pay roll, which will he of material benefit to Valdez.
 The solomon gulch property is at last putting on businesslike appearance. The parties who re- centiy bonded this property from Judge Williams have organized cumpany with large capitaliza- tion, known IS the Rainbow Min ing X Development Company, and have commenced active work on the property.
 MT. Geo. Barrack the general manager of the company J. A. Me Quinn the civil engineer and Chas. DcBoisc the foreman are at the mine to start the surveying and to lay out the preliminary work for the hydraulic plant which is to be put in operation there.
 A tunnel will be cut and tram way built from the beach. A large amount of preparatory work must be done before actual mining oper- ations can commence, and it is ex- pected thaS they will have about a hundred men at work within two weeks.
 The hydraulic machinery is now at Seattle and will be brought up on the next trip of the Excelsior. A saw mill is included in the list of machinery that is purchased, and everything needed for the de- velopment of this extensive prop erty will soon be on the ground.
 Judge l.. l.. Williams the we'll known attorney of Juneau is the principal owner of this property, having secured it in 1897. The Judge has always believed that the property is rich and the company that will now work it are fully convinced of this fact, having had several experts examining the property.

In From Slate.

C. Hammond, Oklahoma Bill, the popular Keystone avenue mer- chant and w. Nichols arrived yes terday evening from Slate creek. They had very exciting trip. While crossing the Chistuchina Hammond was pulled from his horse and got tangled up with its legs, but fortunately escaped with out any serious injuries. At the Tazlina they were detained for some time by high water, and to cap the climax, when almost with in sight of town, they ran against that wonderful public ferry across the lake stream. After going some distance out of their way to cross on this boat, they found that it was impossible to take horse over and had to retrace their steps and take the old ford.
 They report most encouraging prospects on Slate. Everyone is doing well and the creek will make a better showing this year than even the most sanguine had pre- dicted.
 They left Hes at Tazlina. Burr was also there. They were resting up and waiting for the ferry to be put in operation again.

Long Journey For Moose.

On the Excelsior, bound for the Cook inlet country, were MT. David Davies, of Wales, and w. II. Welsh of Scotland. These gentlemen came all the way from England to shoot some large game. They are more than anxious to shoot a moose each, and take the horns to Eng land. They know there is law against taking moose horns out of Alaska, but claim to have a special permit to do so.
 They left Liverpool June 2Oth, and arrived here Aug. 4th.

R[hT (|T1 HAL[ SCHOOL BOARD HAVE SE-
 CURED IT or A Ihoo|hou5e. Will be Put in Habitab1e Condition By the City. Schoolhouse
 Is too Small.

The City Council held a special meeting last Saturday night to take some action in regard to renting the city hall to the school board for school purposes.
 Judge Goodell, the president of the board, appeared before the council and stated that the present school building was too small to accommodate the scholars who would attend during the coming year. without adding room to the building. This the school board did not care to do as it would ne- cessitate an outlay of $4OO, and then the building would not be suitable for school purposes.
 The board offered the council a rental of $fo a month for the com in. school year and agreed to pay the rent in adv nee, providing that the council woui have the build ing cv;icj, win 'oYs and storm doors added and the building divided into two rooms.
 The council accepted the offer of the board and appointed a com mittee to have the building fin ished as rapidly as possible.
 From present indications it ap- pears that there will be a large number of new scholars here before spring, but the school board is making preparations to accommo- date all who come. New desks have been ordered and everything necessary for the use and conven- fence of the scholars and teachers will be provided.

ROAD 1oDAV]oA Ha|f A Million }o|onon'5 du|d
 
 
IS THE AIM OF THE RAIL.
 ROAD PEOPLE
Havkin5 Road 5e(uTed
Campaign of Education in the States. Contractor is
 Coming.

Word was received by the last mail that the Valdez, Copper River & Yukon Railroad had secured control of the Hawkins road, or as it is better known, the Dawson & Indian River road. This road is to start from Dawson and will run to the Indian river country, a distance of so miles toward American terri tory.
 The more that is learned of the affairs of the Valdez road, the higher seems to he their aim. It appears that the road from here to the copper country will be the smallest part of the undertaking. The intention now seems to be to run to Eagle and Dawson and per haps down the Yukon.
 IL is said that the company will put on line of steamers from here to Seattle, and that they will spend thousands of dollars in advertising the Copper river country through out the States.
 The Miles brothers are now in the interior taking views of the country with which to illustrate the vast amount of printed matter that will be sent all over the coun- try. Stereoptican views and nov ing pictures will also be made and used throughout the country as an advertising medium. The people of the States must be educated in regard to Alaska, and the Valdez railroad company will endeavor to do this. They will be assisted by all the prominent railroads in the States, and especially the Pacific coast lines. The Southern Pacific company is now advertising this section of Alaska throughout the East and West.
 The managers and promoters of the Valdez road had an important conference in New York, a few weeks ago and large amounts of supplies for the road were pur- chased.
 MT. Gillette, the chief engineer of the road is waiting in Seattle for a conference with Mir. Helm and Mir. Hubbard and will probably be here on the next trip of the Bertha. Mir. Mcdonald, the contractor. is on his way here from New York, and may be expected within q month.
 In the meantime the surveyors of the road are actively engaged in running lines, and are now nearly to Keystone canyon. They have run a number of different lines and the most suitable route will he de- cided upon when MT. Gillette ar rives.
 At the Hazlett townsite, where the surveys started, large force of men are busily engaged making streets and otherwise improving the townsite.
 The building of this road involves millions of dollars and necessarily it will be slow work to commence active operations, such as grading and laying rails, but there is no doubt but that this work will be commenced in short time.

Another '98er Back.

Jim Plenderlcith and Mir. Moore left Wednesday with two horses for the Nizina. It is their intention to send the horses back ard remain on the interior Irosnoc.ing, until late in the fall.
 MT. Plenderleith, who arrived on the Excelsior, was among the carly ones to cross the glacier in '9S. He spent the following summer on the klutena, and then crossed over to Dawson and from there to Nome, where he has been until this season. He means to stick to prospecting until he strikes it good and hard.
