ing remains Of human skeletons
were uncovered yesterday by the
laborers engaged In digging the
trenches in Magazine and Frank
lin streets for the pipes of the
new waterwoTks plant. The first
grave was discovered near the
corner OF Franklin and Magazine
streets. The pick of the colored
workman cut through the top OF
the coffin and exposed the front
Of skull and the bone Of al arm
With a gasp the negro dropped
his pick and did some astonish-
ing footwork. which removed him
a dozen yards from the Sruesome

Ned Roach, who Is in charge of
the gang, was attracted by tbs
tumult, and he directed the ne
groes to continue their digging.
Less than five feet from the first
grave another pile of rotting
bones and pieces Of coffin were
uncovered. When the negroes
began to dig in Franklin street
nearly every stroke of the pick
disclosed a human skull, the de
cayine pieces of collins and NUM-.
erous bones.
The trench dug from Magazine
street to Queen street. in Frank
lin street, disclosed one contin-
uous line OF graves. Working
grimly away the sturdy negroes
piled pick and shovel and tossed
into the street the bones of the
forgotten ancestors of latter day
Charlestonians. No effortis being
made to preserve the fragments
40 that they may be inferred 4;
they are thrown to one side with
the rest Of the debris, and will be
carted away as old rubbish. Alas,
poor Yorick
There seems little doubt that
the tenantry of an old graveyard
have been thus rudely disturbed.
Whose bones have lain buried in
these thOroughfares for so long a
time offers the widest latitude for
speculation and conjecture. The
oldest inha a5itant has thrown up
the sponge. No one hereabout,
so far as could be ascertained
yesterday, ever heard Of grave
yard being located in this section
of the city. From the appear
ance OF the graves aud the con-
dltlon of the bones it is believed
that the remains Of some Of the
early settlers Of Charleston have
been shoveled into the glare of
the Goth century.
The foundation Of the present
City Of Charleston was laid in
1850. Thirty houses were built
in that year and the records in.
dICate that they were ali erected
in the neighborhood where these
graves were found. According
to history this section Of the city
at that time was the "resldent
part" Of the town, or, for that
matter, the only part of the town
that had any residents. Some of
the oldest structures in Charles.
ton are to be found near Maga-
zine and franklin streets and
two hundred years ago this was
the favored section Of the colony.

Before q rocord-breaking crowd, on the evening of August 13, JclTries and Corbett fought one of the cleyerest fights ever witnessed The battle ought to have ended in the second round, when Gentleman Jim was given d body punch by his opponent that everyone thought was a knockout. To the surprise of everyone, he continued the fight. JelTries NGs not only stronger than ever. but ihowed decided improve ment as boxer. In two rounds Cor bett showed his o.d-timc skill as a clever boxer, but JolIr,c, had improved so much that the contrast was not so great a- a, their former meet.

While he hit Jetrrie, repeatedly, the blows seemed 60 have positively no effect, and Jetfries forced the fight to q successful issue in the tenth, when series of body blows put Cor1ett out of the ring forever.

George II. Williams returned yeeter- day from the kougaroll district, where he has gang of men at work on Dahl creek for the Nome and kougarok Con- solidated Mines Company. He reports great activity throughout the entire district. The various companies oper- ating there are doing well, and are perfectly satisfied with the results, under the crude methods of mining now in vogue. Shortage of water is the main drawback on Dahl creek, and ditches must be constructed there as well as in the Nome district.
 MeSsrs. Fritch and kingsland are now on the koucarok to put in a pipe line from the kougarok to Dahltown. It sill be five miles long and will open up many claims, including a number owned by them.
 On claims Nos. and the Kougarok Minin. Co. has full crews of men at work under the direction of Oleson & Yarnell. They are not saying much, but are getting good results.
 On No. 3 the Nome-K. Mines Co. have crew of men at work, and they are gettiug good pay. Water is very scarce and the men are obliged to work at greGt disadvantage but still the re- sultI are good.

 nate Against Them.

A quiet, orderly and well handled strike started Monday, and was set- tied at noon today. The men had sev- eral grievances against the North Coast Lighterage Co. that they wanted ad- iusted. They demanded Sl an hour for all unloading, including warehouse work, and no loss of time when out on the lighters, Both Col. Perkins Gne Manager Williams were obliged to bt, out of town, and so Capt. ROsene took the matter up with the men. He offered them tl an hour straight for all work. The men wanted the non-union men here and Solomon discharged but as there is Lon yshoremen's union thero and as the matter of hiring meu there is not in the hands of the Nome off cials, this was out of the question. The strike could have been settled on that basis Monday, but the miSunderstand- ing continued until nearly noon today. Finally the matter was amicably sett- led, the North Coast Lighterage Co. agreeing to give the raise in wages and not to discriminate against union men.
 Upon that basis the men went back to their work. Meanwhile the cargo of the big freighter Aztec at Solomon is being rapidly unloaded, while the Wy neric is still in the roadstead with 2000 tons of coal aboard. This will be rap idly unloaded now.
 The strike was orderly-the Long shoremen' union themselves appoint ing committees to protect the property of the company. The men were always quiet and well behaved and required no attention from the officers.

James Cahill, of this city, who is managing owner of the steamer John Reilly, now operating on the Kobuli, is in receipt of q letter from Herman Bernhard, at the latter place, dated August 23.
 The season was very late in opening up on the Shunnug river, Ruby, Wes- ley and Bismarck creeks, which are all tributaries of the kobuk, no mining being done until after July 6, and for three months prior to the first trip of the steamer Reilly the miners in the new district lived on straight diet of fish, having neither flour, beans nor coffee.
 The Reilly brought down S4, coo in dust on the last trip, all of which was mined in the most primitive fashion, as there was not an inch Of hose and only two lengths of sluce boxes in the coun- try, which were owned by Mason and the Van Leer brothers. The gold is d very high grade, and closely resembles that from Little Minook, in the Ram part district, which assays at $20.

Council, Aug. l5.-Today the resi- dents of the town were pleased by sec ing a column of smoke ascending from the stack of the de So:o dredger, which lies about one mile below town. The engines were started for the purpose of testing the machinery. The initial test proved very satisfactory, and it is the plan of the de Soto company to have the drcdger in operation in q few days.
 The Northern Light Mining Co.,, under the management of MT. Hunter, has diverted the water course of lower Ophir creek, causing it's waters to unite with the Neulluk one and one half miles further to the westward. This leaves the creek bed of Ophir dry from No. below to it's mouth. Mr. Hunter now has about 100 men en- ployed.
 The Wild Goose Co. is operating three hydraulic elevators located re- spectively on Nos. 16, IS and P. The elevators are now working very satis- factorily, immense quantities of gravel being handled daily. A view of these machines in operation is sufficient to convince one that ''the man with q ditch owns the country" In order to re-enforce the water supply of Ophir creek, the company Is now prospecting

at the old Pavilion in Frisco. The gate receipts amounted to s62, 34O. of which sum Jetfries received s32, 728 and Corbett S!O,9l0.
 An entirely new wrinkle was intro duced when oxygen was sprayed in Corbett'S face after each round. It worked like charm, quickly reviving COrbett, and doubtless had much to do with keeping him in the fight until the tenth round. In the eighth and ninth rounds Corbett forced the fight, and the crowd cheered him for his clerer work, but, as he himself acknow edged, he was all in from the second on, and was in the game merely to ''give the people a run for heir money.' It was plainly Jefrries' fight from the first round, but he could not cinch it until he tired COrbett out.

a ditch from Oregon creek, which lies in the Anaconda valley to the north ward of Ophir, to the north fork of | Ophr This ditch, when completed, will afford water for number of aG- dtional elevators which will be in- stalled next season.
 The days for pick and shovel mining on Ophir are practically numbered.
 Fedder, Meiler and McNeal are min ing Nos. 1 and on E!khorn creek.
 Mr. H. Smith, of the Casadepoga Fly draulic Co.,, spent few days in town this week. His comrtny have put in ditch from Goose creak to the benches of Dry gulch. With the ditch and other preliminary work done the com Fany will be enabled to operate cXteL- sively next season.
 A skirmish for possession of real es- tate occurred during the week. The parties interested were Mrs. l.. C. Mill Ter, of the Golovin hotel, and the Big I Trading Co. The title to vacant piece of ground adjoining the Golovin premises recently passed to the Big 1 company, who announced their inten- tion of erecting thereon new store b Iilding. Workmen employed by Mrs. Miller were engaged in constructing a fence on the lot cutting off a strip some seven feet wide. Mir. Schwartz of the Big 1 company, in attempting to tear down the fence. becume engaged in an encounter with Mrs. Miller. Blows intended for knockout ones with both fist and club, were rainCd fast and furi- ous, but owing to the excitement of the parties, failed of other effect than the loss of a hat by MT. Schwartz.
 On the day followin. the struS- gle for possession was renewed. A num- bor of laborers headed by Chas. Lubbc, o' the Big i, appeared and began chop ping posts, and by aid of a team, tear ing down the fence, which, during the lull in hostilities, had been advanced into wall, connected to the Golovin building and roofed over. For short interval wordy encounter cnsued, which threatened to develop at any moment into a fierce physical struggle. Happily for the peace of Council and the reciprocal welfare of the contest ants, the strong arm of the law was thought of, and one of the principals hied herself to invoke its aid in the re- dress of her grievances.
 While the deputy marshal, the com missioner and the attorneys and the officers of the court were getting at the facts as to the rightful and wrongful possession, the Instructions on the ground were demolished and removed, the ground remaining in possession of Mr. Lubbe.

Alaska Forts Now On Wire.

Lieut.. George $. Gibbs, of the signal service. and Dr.. Joseph Pettijohn, in the medical arm of the service, arrived in Seattle recently from Alaska, where they have been engaged stringing the telegraph line up the Tanana river.
 They report the work to have been completed and that communication be- tween the Alaskan forts and the United States is now finished. In an interview Dr. Pettijohn said:
 "trom Fort Gibbon, at the mouth of the Panama, we built the line up the river to connect with the line already constructed between Valdes and Eagle. The line is also completed between St. Michael and the Panama. From Fort Egbert at Eagle, through the British territory, the forts of Alaska are now in telegraphic communication with the United States"

recton of the North Western Conner cial Co. There is a full crew at work and the claim looks good.
 The greatest excitement is reported over the discovery of good gold in the benches back of Dahl creek from the mouth as far as there has been any done. From No 8 Quartz creek up to No. Dahl the prospecting has shown rich ground as far back as the second tier of bench claims on both sides. It is believed to be one of the richest placer sections in this entire region. The pay dirt zoe back as far as there has been any work done, and there is no question but that it is q great strike. Naturally Mr. Williams found the miners of that section very much excited over the results of this seasons prospecting.
 "Broncho Bill" of the Chas. D. Lane Co.,, reports good strikes on some of the claims worked by him. The report is that the necessary machinery has al ready been ordered for work on large scale next year. The entire Kou.arok country is short on water. There has been only one day of rain practically all summer and that was the rain of last Wednesday, It has put all mining in the kougarok country at great disadvantage. However enough pros pecting has been done this season to prove that with plenty of water and proper ditching the hougarok country is there with the goods.

They were hired for the season and were landed Ut the inlet north of their claims, and had to pack heavy loads p miles to the camp.
