RICH STRIKE gen. BLACK
Made by Laymen On
Hungry Creek

A. II. klink and +. w. Eldridge took
n lay last spring on No. above discov-
cry on Hungry creek. They began
work and struck fair pay almost from
the first, doing better than wages. The
pay became better and returns more
satisfactory, until one night last week
the night shift struck pay that yielded
s425 for the nights work, making over
800 to the shovel. Messrs. Klink and
Eldrid2e went right on with their work
until last Tuesday, when John Sewar,
the owner, sold the claim to Mr.. Martin.
There is no question but that in No. 4
above Mr.. Martin has one of the rich
claims of that region, one that averages
800 to the shovel. The pay evidently
ran into the old creek bottom and is
very rich.

Manchuria and is prepared to fight for
the territory.
He told Of enormous expenditures on
railway Improvements, rapid building

there, OF laying submarine torpedoes
and Mines and of the large increase
being made to the coal stocks.
A Tientsin dispatch of August ; says
Russia is dispatching $4,000 troop, TO-
ward the coast at the rate of 5000 a
day. Their armament consists largely
OF mountain material. Advice, from
Seoul tell Of further expeditions OF
Russian troops having crossed the
Yalu and entered Chaug-Chaug.
A Moukden dispatch says Chinese
officials in various cities and towns of
the Manchurian provinces have re-
ceived secret instructions from their
Tartar generals to raise a force Of as
many able-bodied men as possible, and
arms of foreign make are being for
warded to the officials for distribution.
The dispatch says it is computed that
the Chinese authorities have already
distributed in secret at least 10000
stands Of Mausers, with considerable
ammunition.

Victoria, b. c., Aug. 20.-Japanesc
papers received by steamer Indravelli

tell of continued military preparations.
The Japan Advertiser says the Japan

The men of the different regiments are
taking leave of their families and
friends, and Formosa is filling with
troops.
The japanese paper then quotes Il

covery Of gold in the Klondike and the
British Northwest Territory.
SO confident is the administration
that there is no strong and sincere sup
port for the Canadian contention in
London official quarters that, in the
event of a deadlock in the present COM
mission. the United States government
will take matters into its own hands by
proceeding to mark the boundary. This
means that visible monuments will
actually be placed by American survey
ors along the line as defined by this
government in the various briefs and
arguments filed by our commissioners
at London.
Mr.. Root, who is probably the ablest
member of the tribunal on the Ameri-
can side, will sail for London to join his
colleagues next Saturday. He will not
talk, of course, in regard to the outlook
but he does not conceal his supreme
faith in the soundness of the American
position. Nobody connected with the
Washington government believes for a
moment that any member of the Amer
lean commission will yield the breadth
of a hair in the negotiations about to
be begun at the British capital.
Mr.. Roots dual capacity as secretary
of war and Alaska boundary commits
sioner has had an interesting and sig
nificant bearing on the outlook. He
has manifested an absorbing interest in
the boundary question. This interest
began Immediately after the president,
last December, urged him to accept a
place on the international tribunal.
The immediate result was recon-
mendation by the secretary of war for
an appropriation to lay military cable
from Seattle to Alaska, a project in
which Gen. Greedy had failed for two or
The bringing to the fore of the Alaska
boundary dispute seemed to place the
matter of the cable in II different light,
and the secretary Immediately made a
special recommendation to congress for
the necessary appropriation.
Similar significance is to he attached
to the Fastening Of plans for establish
ing large army post at Haines mis-
sion, in the immediate vicinity of the
disputed boundary line. At about the
same time the navy department revived
its interest in the old project of equip
ping coaling stations at Dutch harbor
and at some point in the Aleutan ISL
ands; and within the last month an
American naval squadron has visited
the Gulf of ALASKA for the first time.
These activitiesin the naval and mill
tary departments of the government,
while not threat, and while not neces-
sarily presaging trouble with England
are yet wise preparation for carrying
out contingent policy in regard to the
Alaska boundary upon which the Roose-
welt administration is firmly resolved.
IL is of course understood, as THE
NUGGET recently announced, that Eng
land fails unless she can win over one
of the American commissioners to her
way OF thinking. A deadlock will be
defeat for them and the Canadian posi-
ton.

In view of big fall rush, the White
Pass is preparing to put all its steam-
en-, into service. Several which have
been idle all season will be used, if
necessary. The Bonanza King and the
ZeaIandian, which have not been used
much this year, are being overhau ed
at Whtehorsc. The Columbian and
the Canadian. which have been laid up
temporarily, will be put into service
again. The Sybil, OF the same line,
may also be commissioned dgain. The
independent steamer Sifton has been
on the ways most of the summer, and
may be launched to participate in the
fall traffic. The independent steamer
Casca also will join the feet. The
Lightning may DO likewise.
The lower river steamers, while they
have been late in arriving this year,
are making fair showing, considering
the fact that the wateri is so low. Tie
n. A. T. & r. Co. has only two steam
ers running from St. Michael to Daw-
son. and has chartered the independent
steamers Light and Tyrrell for the
company. Each of the cha rtertl
steamers will bring 800 tons of general
merchandise, and get here some time
in september.
The independent steamer Casca,
which ran into the shore of Lake L.
barge last Sunday, had one of the most
peculiar accidents ever known on the
river. She went entirely off her course
Il quarter to mile or more, and ran
head on into a steep, rocky bluff while
in the broad lake.

upper Yukon country good deal OF
rain has fallen, and the river has risen
three inches. This will enal lie the

long was dug and the waters of Willow
creek tapped, when the company de-

Enough'water is in the ditch to enable
the company to do considerable work
this season. The ditch will probably
be finished next spring. Mr.. Moore

IDLY slashed by knife in the hands OF
Andrew Koski. who lives over on Dry

lily for several days and imagined he
had grievance against kosIi because
he would not drink with him several
days before. Accordingly he went to
Koski' 5 cabin and found him in the act
of chopping hamburger steak: never
theless he attacked him, and in the
mix-up got his hand severely cut, sevel-
ing the muscle between the forefnger
and thumb nearly to the wrist.

new ERA
IN MINING
No More Worry About
Getting Water.
PLENTY OF power
Electricity to Pump Water From
Any Lake or Stream on
Seward Peninsula.

A t last there is to be developed an
adequate supply of water for general
hydraulic mining on Seward peninsula,
the output of which, within year or
two, is destined to astonish the world.
We predict result in comparison with
which the record of the klondikc in its
palmiest days will sink into insigniti-
canoe.
The existence of extensive hydraul-
licking deposits Of placer gold, scat
tered everywhere over the peninsula,
has long been known, of sufficient value
to pay big profits if they could be
cheaply mined. The country is full of
creeks and benches that will nearly but
not quite pay wages, that is, s., So or 81
a day to the shovel, but which will pay
enormous profits if mined with cheap
hydraulic water. The water exists in
plentiful supply every where, but at
such low levels as to be unavailable
for hydraulic purposes, except to a
very limited extent. Steam pumping
plants, using coal or oil, have been
built to overcome the difficulty; but the
cost of their operation, with the high
prices of fuel in Alaska. is prohibitive,
save for very rich ground. bitches
have been and are being dug but they
are inadequate; they reach only a lin
tied amount of ground Immediately
along their course, and the cost #
tionr is excessive.
These are the known. undisputed
facts of the situation. 1t is this lack of
hydraulicking WAGER that has retarl ed
the development of the country.
A New Era.
Bat now, all this is to be changed
and the wonder is. as with most things
simple and practical, why wasn't it
thought of sooner. The Sawtooth
Power and Mining Co., a corporation
now being Organized in Nome under the
management and backing of some of
our leading citizens, has found a way
a practical, tested means for oyercom-
ing this everywhere present difficulty.
How 1t Is to be Done.
East of Port Clarence, within a mile
or two of salt water in Imuruk basin,
rise the Sawtooth or Kigluaik noun
tains. Coming from the heart of the up
heaved granite, there gushes forth vast
quantities Of living water, a phenome
non as unusual as the geysers of the
Yellowstone National Park-several
small rivers, in fact-with an available
fall for power purposes, of 1000 to 1900
feet. During the past summer these
streams were discovered, explored and
located for power purposes, and the
company above named has now in the
field two engineering corps and working
parties surveying and developing them.
With ample volumes of water, such
as can be found nowhere else on the
peninsula, there being no conditions
elsewhere to make it possible under
the great head of 700 to 1900 feet, cnor-
nous power will be obtained. 1t will
be developed in power houses at the

THE removal of the cases of
Jett and White, charged with the
assassination Of j. b. Marcum,
James Cockrell aud DR., Cox, to
the county of Morgan, which
is in Judge Kinner's district,
is what the people have all the
time hoped for, aud whether con-
viction or acquittal be the result
of their trial by this change of
venue, the verdict will be accepted
by the people as proper finding.
Judge Kinner is one of the best
equipped officials in Eastern Ken
lucky. and the Prosecuting Attor-
ney, Math Redwine, a brother of
Judge Redwine. of Jackson, is
above the average as a prosecutor.
Unless the witnesses, therefore,
are spirited away, a fair and inn
partial trial will be held. The
State at large, and i'll fact the
States of the Union. are interested
in this trial, and the result will
be watched for with more than
ordinary interest. Judge Redwine,
in granting the change of venue,
and Prosecutor Byrd, in asking for
it, have displayed more stability
than the people generally were
willing to accord them. In brief,
by this act they have redeemed
themselves from the suspicion
that they were the henchmen of a
faction in Breathitt county. Every
law abiding citizen will approve
their course and give them the
credit due.
