.YAkUTAT
 STRIKE Rich Placer Diggings
 Are Found ! GOOD PAY FOUND Strike Made by Dawson Charlie Who Famed l5 cent Gold
 Just Below Surface.

From the Valdez News THE NUGGET gleans the following, which is probably very accurate description of the new placer discoveries between Whitehorse and Yakutat:
 "What is thought to be a rich placer strike has been made on d tributary of the Alsek river, which flows into the Gulf of Alaska just below Yakutat. The strike was made by Dawson Char lie, the rich Klondike Indian. Pros poets averaging b cents to the pan were found on two creeks, Ruby and Fourth of July, the latter being named in honor of the day of discovery. The Indians who made the strike returned to White horse for more provisions, intending to keep the strike quiet, but one of the Indians who was a cripple was not taken back with them and he gave the snap away to two white men. The white men started for the strike, arriving there shortly after the Indians. They prospected the ground, finding 10 to l5 cents to the pan six inches under the grass roots. Bedrock has not been reached. Hundreds of people are leav ing Whitehorse and surrounding coun- try for the scene of the strike. Small steamers can make their way from the Yukon to Lake Arkell, which is only 30 miles from the diggings. Reports from Dawson state that two steamer loads of stampeders are on the way from there. The route overland from Whitehorse is described as being alon. the govern ment road 90 miles, thence west 40 miles to the Dalton trail: thence west erly 30 miles and then northwest 40 miles, being about 70 miles northwest of Dalton post. It should not be difficult to reach the district from the head of the Chittyna, though the distance would be considerably further than from Whitehorse. By crossing the Scoli Pass, following the old White river trail for some distance and then strik- ing across country. the strike should be reached in few days travelling. The map shows the country to be practically level and timbered. The railroad from Iakutat bay, which is now under con struction, will ultimately tap this sec tion, and if the camp proves to be good the logical route will be over this road. If the location of the strike has been properly given, the distance from Yak utat should be little more than 100 miles,"

LINER SINKS
 A CRUISER
Empress of India COIIideS with a Chinese Warship North
 of HOngkong.

Vancouver, B. C., August l8.-The Chinese cruiser Huangtai was sunk on Monday night, l5O miles north of Hong kong, in collision with the Canadian Pacific liner Empress of India. Thir- teen of the crew of the warship were drowned, including the captain, who refused to leave the bridge as the ship went down. The Empress received severe injuries and went into drydock immediately on arriving at her destin- ation.
 A statement of the accident was given out this morning by Arthur Piers, superintendent of the Canadian Pacific Railwar Steamship Co, on cable advices received from Capt. o. F. Mar shall, of the big liner. The Empress sailed from Yokohama on Monday, July P, and was running from Shang- hai to Hongkong when the accident occurred. Early on Monday evening the liner came up with the Chinese vessel, the two being on parallel courses for Hongkong. The Empress was naturally travelling much the faster of the two.
 When the Chinese gunboat was off tuC FIJI EkCSS OOVt OiC NoP- tain of the cruiser suddenly star boarded his helm, and. turning to port, attempted to cross the bows of the liner. The Empress immediately re- versed her engines, trying to avoid being rammed broadsides by the cruis- CT. The liner sheered off sufficiently to catch a glancing blow from the bows of the cruiser, instead of receiv- ing the direct impact of the war vessel, which would probably have cut her in two.
 The cruiser struck the Empress near the starboard side of the bridge, and iu sliding aft carried away some of the upper works of the liner. AS the war. ship drifted back, the steamer was still working her engines to stop, and still steering to steer off from the warship The result was that the starbOard pro pellOr of the Empress smashed her stern. The plates of the warship amid ships were broken, and the Chinese boat began to fill. She sank nineteen minutes later.

 REGION Much of Rich Ground
 Worked Out PLENTY LOW GRADE Rich Claims Have Been Worked Out and Low Grade Dirt Must
 Be HydrauIicked.
PLENTY LOW GRADE

The Klondike region is undergoing a transformation. The rich claims of the country, such as Gold, French and Cheechaco hills have been worked out, 90 that they are now low grade hydrau- lie propositions. The region abounds in low grade dirt that will have to be worked by hydraulicking in order to get results. Large quantities of dirt will hereafter be handled. This season the country is dry and the water in all the creeks is low and there is not much work being done. In fact many of the claims have been shut down and the people are preparing for hard winter, many of them deeply in debt.
 The result is that Dawson is catching it this year worse than ever. Business is in the hands of the large companies, and the smaller tradesmen will move out in large numbers this fall. The two banks of Dawson have the key to the situation, and they not only intend to keep the key but the situation as well. Money is worth two per cent per month in the bank on gilt edge se' curity. Outside of the banks where the security is not first-class three to five per cent. per month is charged b. money loaners.
 Gold dust at Dawson is worth from SIPS to S2 per ounce less than at Nome.
 If there were plenty of ditches in the Klondike, prosperity would again be- come general, as there is plenty of min ing still to be done. The people have to adjust themselves to new bushes. conditions.
 There is plenty of wood and an abun dance of fine, clear, bright weather ir the region.
 Dawson has to stand the most of thu hard knocks at present. Many house, and stores are for sale or for rent, ant the evidences of the read adjustment nov taking place are many.

The Best Way to Teach History.

The idea Of object teaching, the founda-
tion of the Froebel system of instruction,
has in recent years met with general &C
ceptance and adoption in almost every
branch o. education, high and low, with
resultant benefits which are beyond ques-
tion. Even such subjects as grammar
and arithmetic are now taught in this
way so far as practicable, and with marked
advantage over the old dry and abstract
methods. The practice Of teaching history
by making pilgrimages to the very scenes
where great historical events have occurred
is an application of the same principle
and much more valuable In the way OF i'm
pressing the reality Of history upon the
minds of the young than any amount OF
mere text book instruction could be. A
recent issue OF the "FourTrack Series" Z"
published by the New York Central man
agement, gives a description OF the his
torical sites in the immediate vicinity of
New York which will be OF exceeding
value for the guidance of teachers and
others who desire to adopt this method of
historical study One of the best ways to
develop civic pride and promote good citi-
zenship lies in this very direction, an i'm
crease OF knowledge of local history being
accompanied with an increase of interest in
matters of local government and a higher
concern for what affects the welfare and
good name of the communication Les

oNE-HALF OF A LAW SUIT
EiEuratively Speaking, that II what
Judge Reed Had to Deal
With.

Figuratively speaking. one-half Of a law
suit was in Judge Reeds court yesterday
while the other half was scattered over
Millard precinct in Industrial pursuits.
The absentees were John Blum, jr., and
his witnesses and those in court were Fred
Shredder and his witnesses. An error in
the summons resulted in one party being
commanded to appear yesterday and the
other party not until Thursday. The court
decided that both may as well wait until
Thursday, and accordingly put the hearing
over until that time.
Blum is suing Shredder for $40, 900, alleg-
ing malicious prosecution. On August IL
1900, il is related, Shredder charged that
Blum had shot at him once and would dc
1t again IL he had opportunity. He filed a
complaint against Blum and had the latter
arrested and put under bond to keep the
peace pending a hearing in district court
November 8, 1901. the county attorney en-.
tered nolle prosequi in the case, and now
Blum alleges that the complaint was with.
out justification. that It cost him ten days
from his business and injured him gener.
ally In the sum of $40 900.

SCHOOL FUND DISTRIBUTION
Bill Pending in Senate OOntemplateS Big
Gu for Douglas County.
POPULATION NOT TO Be CONSIDERED
II Bill Becomes Law Part of AppOr-
tionment f. to BE Made on
BASIS of Number of
school Districts.
POPULATION NOT TO Be CONSIDERED

Secretary Burgess Of the Board Of Edu-
cation declared yesterday that attention
should be directed to Senate File 203 and
efforts made to prevent its enactment into
law.
This bill" says Secretary Burgess, us
the same as the one killed in the house that
sought to apportion one-fourth Of the school
fund Of the state to each county in accord
ance with the number of school districts,
regardless OF the number Of children they
contain. At present the distribution is
made in the ratio Of the population Of school
age The proposed law would leave only
three -fourths OF the fund to be accredited
in this manner, while the remaining one
fourth or about 5000 900 would be ap
portloned by the school districts in each
county. l have made calculation and find
that Douglas county would lose between
$4,000 and 10000 II the law is passed.
This amount is one that we cannot AFFORD
10 lose, and It is not just or right that we
should. Therefore a fight should be made
against It.
las an example Of how the law would
work a comparison between BOX Butte
county and Douglas county is convenient.
Both counties have sixty-two school dis
tricts, and each under the proposed law
would receive an equal part Of the one
fourth Of the whole fund subject to arbi-
trary apportionment. On the one hand Box
Butte county has 1000 school children,
while Douglas tas between Al 900 and $4,000.
Our last state apportionment gave this
county s3,354, and It is easily seen what a
subtraction Of S19 900 would mean.
Under the present arrangement each
county, after receiving its pro rata share
OF the state school fund. sets aside one
fourth Of the amount to be distributed
hn
the remaining three-fourths for apportion-
ment by population. For this reason the
claim is made that there is really no change
In the distribution. There is a very ma
terial change, however. and it can be seen
clearly and proven by the figures. In other
words, the new law is going to fall heavily
upon the thickly populated counties"
