DUST AT DAWSON
Record breaking Days in Receipts
of Gold.


Vancouver, B. c., May 30.-A spe-
cial from Dawson says: Never before
in the history of banking in Dawson
have there been such heavy purchases
of gold dust as yesterday, which was
the banner day for gold receipts in the
history of the Yukon. The amounts
purchased by the two banks here, to
say nothing of the hundreds of thou
sands left on deposit, aggregated in the
neighborhood of half million dollars.
Today the purchases are not quite 30
heavy az were those of yesterday, al
though for the two days they will ag-
gregate from 100000 to 5000 900.
This amount, in connection with the
large amounts deposited with the banks
for safe keeping, will aggregate up
wards of 81, 250, 200 worth of gold dust
brought into Dawson from the various
creeks in the short space of two days.
Compared with this time last year
the receips of gol at the local banks
up to date this season are greatly in
excess. Present indications are that
the Yukon's output of gold this season
will exceed that of last from one mill
lion to three million dollars. The tone
of confidence in the future of the camp
is most marked.

rain.

Among the vessels which the expert

Record of Disasters.

The ardor of the heroic reecuers was
not abated in the least by the condi-
tions which confronted them. For long
drearv hours, knee deep in the water,
and sometimes in water up to their
necks, they worked with might and
main. When night fell they could
proudly point to 800 or more rescues OF
people who might otherwise have been
swept away in the current.
Briefly stated, the present situation
is: Something over two hundred peo-
pie drowned; eight thousand people
without homes; four million dollars
loss of property; houses burned as a
result of fire in the lumber yards. from
shaking lime, probably two hundred
city water works plant useless.
Many Still Missing.
At o'clock the number of drowned
was known to be at least 100, and a
large number were still missing. Sew
eral we're reported burned to death, but
this could not he substaDtiated. From
all over Eastern Kansas boats are being
rushed here for the rescue of the suffer-
ers. All of the pontoon bridges to the
north side were washed out early Sun
day morning. and the only way OF
reaching the survivors since then has
been by boats. Shortly after daylight
nine boats arrived from Ottawa on a
special train and we're put into active
service at once. More boats arrived
from Emporia at 10 o'clock, and hurry
messages had been sent to other towns
for more. The river remained station
airy after having fallen seven inches.
Heavy rains were reported from up
stream, however, and it is feared an
othe rise may set in.
Standing in the Water.
In the Street colored Baptist church
nearly hundred people have been
standing since yesterday. Many of
them have doubtless fallen from ex-
haustion before this and drowned. The
building stands intact, however, and
those who are left alive may be rescued.
Small boats have no chance at all,
and many of them have already been
swamped. Even if they could success
fully traverse the whirling, eddying
stream for a mile, they would almost
surely be overturned by striking against
houses and other wreckage.
