According to reports which reached Nome by the last mail the coasting steamer Discovery, which sailed from Nome on Nov. r, was wrecked on the coast of Alaska peninsula, near the mouth of Seal river about Nov. :. The Discovery sailed from Nome with about 40 passengers besides her crew, which numbered at least ten. Whether any of her passengers or crew were saved is not known. The hull of the steamer and wreckage was reported to have been found near Yakutat, but no news had been received of her passengers or crew.
 The following telegram, which seems to confirm the reported wreck of the Discovery was received Monday by J. A. Tesack, of the Pacific Cold Storage Co. It is self explanatorys .~,
 Everett, Wash, Dec. l4, via Vancou- yer, B. C.-Did Hans Canvik, Discov- cry boatman, leave Nome on her :? Answer. REV. B. ASAND.
 When the Discovery sailed from Nome she was in command of Capt. M. R. Walters, her pilot being Capt. H. w. McGrath. Besides, she carried a crew of two mates. three engineers. three tiremen and four deck hands, a steward and three helpers.
 Among the Discovery's passengers were several well-known people, whose names do not appear on the list of pas sengers on file in the local customs house. Among these were Mr. and Mrs. w. A. Barrieau and daughter Edith; w. Dangertield, a former em- ploye of the Ames Mercantile Co. J. w. Barry, also former employe of the Ames Co.,, and wife, Dick Journey, a well-known old-time miner of the Yu- kon and Nome, Capt. F. N. Sieberg, formerly connected with the electric light company, and F. J. Stewart, quite an extensive claim owner in this sec- tion.

according to x. F. Holmes, who went
 into the Buckland in August, 1902.
 Gold. he says, has been found on Bear
 creek, Buckland tributary, from Is
 below to F above. Bedrock is found
 from the surface to depth of seven or eight feet. The creek as a whole is low grade, but it offers an excellent hydraulic proposition. As high as sl0 a day, however, to the rocker has been taken out. On No. ? above, owned by Bob Lowery, last season, two men rocked out S290 in ten days. On all claims which have been prospected colOrs at least have been found. and pans running as high as 50 cents have not been uncommon.
 Tributaries of Bear creek are Cobb creek, on the right limit, where coarse gold has been found but there were only two men on the creek last sum- mer; Split creek, on the right limit, has two or three feet of dirt that will run from a half cent to a cent a pan, bedrock not having been reached.
 On the left limit of Bear is Sheridan creek. About 5000 was taken from this creek last summer. The gold Is coarse, and is worth about SlS.50 an ounce Mr. Holmes shows a nugget worth S44 which was taken from this creek; other nuggets were found, ranging in value from $l to S2l. Bear has number of other tributaries near the head, among them being Polar, Eagle and Camp, but they have not been prospected.
 Quartz has also been found on the Buckland, assays from which showed a value of $6.20 to the ton. MT. Holmes found half dozen or more pieces of float quartz, everyone of which carried l gold visible to the naked eye. The creeks across the divide from the Buckland have never been prospected.

BRUTAL
 TREATMENT
Charges Made Against Police Officers in Their Treatment
 of a We'll Known Miner

What seems on it's face to be rather strange case was enacted in the city jail on Christmas eve. Two employees of G. w. Long, of the Bowery claim on Dexter, had been arrested by the po- lice on charge of being drunk, and Mir. Long went to the jail to see them and give bail. Thereupon it is alleged that he was clubbed by Policemen Sackett and Sunnivale, being knocked insensible, his face also being badly cut and bruised.
 Mir. Long was then arrested on charge of resisting an officer, and in the municipal court, on Monday, a fine of S25 was imposed.
 Attorney M. l.. Sullivan, of Jeffreys X Sullivan protested against the impo- sition of fine under the circumstances, and will appeal the case to the district court.

A section Of country which, in the Fopinion of those who have visited it.
 will prove a good gold producer, is the
 Buckland. It resembles, topographic ally. the country surrounding Anvil and Dexter creeks. The hills have the same rounded appearance, and while .no creek to compare to Anvil or Dexter -bas yet been found, it seems to be a reasonable conclusion that good-paying ground will be developed sooner or later.

It is Feared That Passengers and Crew Met Watery
 Graves.

A telephone message received this afternoon from A. V. Dedrick, who had just returned from Unalaklik, confirms the report of the wreck of the Discov- cry. Passengers and crew were all lost. The only names of passengers published in the Seattle papers were those of J. w. Barry and wife. It is therefore, possible that nearly all the other passengers had landed at way points.

STOP The CRAFT.
State May Get Interest On Its
Deposits.
Bill for That Purpose in the
House.
GOEBEL THE AUTHOR.
Miami County Democratic Bank
er Introduces the Measure.
Governor Bailey Is known to
Favor 1t.
OEBEL THE AUTHOR.

The bill to create legal state deposi-
tories for the state funds, which shall
pay interest on daily balances, thereby
giving the state an income of $751; 900
a year or more which is now lost to
the state, has made its appearance. It
was introduced in the house by Repre-
sentative Goebel.
A peculiar fact about this is that it
is introduced by the Democratic mem
Der from State Treasurer Kelly's home
county. He is a banker at Louisburg.
This is the idea upon which Cover
nor Bailey dwells at considerable length
in his message. Whether he viii ap-
prove of the features of Representa-
tive GoebeFs bill is not yet known. The
governor is anxious for some such bill
to be passed, however.
The Goebel bill provides that the ex-
ecutive council shall each year adver-
tise for bids from banks to keep state
funds and from the banks which shall
bid they shall select those offering the
highest rate of interest as state deposit
tories Each bank, however, must give
the state a surety bond for the amount
to be deposited with it, and no bank
shall have state funds in excess of one
half of its capital stock or in excess
OF 500 900.
Bills of this same character have
been repeatedly introduced at former
sessions, and Governor Stanley gave
them his hearty support while he was
governor, but they failed Of passage.
It is now illegal for the state treas
ureF to deposit state funds in any
bank but the law has been evaded for
years by turning over to the banks for
collection the drafts which are sent III
by the county treasurers The banks
make the collections but keep the money
until called for by the state treasurer
It is known that the banks pay interest
on the state funds IN their possession
to somebody, but all efforts to prove
this have been unavaihng.
Governor Bailey takes the ground
that the states fiscal agency in New
York pays interest on daily balances
and that Kansas banks would prob
ably be glad to do the same thing. and
he advises that such action may bE
Iegalized in order to turn a gOod-sizeo
fund into the state treasury, which the
state does not now receive.

VOTE TWICE FOR LONG.
He VIII Be Elected Senator
Tuesday and Wednesday.

There is no state law or constitutional
provision prescribing the manner in
which a United States senator shall be
elected It is not mentioned in the con
stitution and the only statutory provi-
sion is that the time of the joint con-
vention shall be fixed by concurrent
resolution of the two houses, although
full provision is made for the election of
a state printer.
A federal statute, however. fixes the
time for the election of senators for the
second Tuesday after the meeting and
organiza ton of the IegisIa ture. The leg
islature meets on Tuesday. but that one
is not counted
The first vote is taken in the two
houses separately. This will be done on
Tuesday. and the result will be duly re-
corded in the journals OF the respective
houses. Then on Wednesday the two
houses will meet in joint convention as
they did for the election of a state
printer. The journals of the previous
day with reference to the election Of
senator will be read, and if one man has
received a Majority of each house, that
ends it. He is declared elected. That
will be the case this year If it should
happen some year that the majorities
in the two houses differed. the roll Of
the joint convention would be called and
the man receiving a majority of both
houses together would be declared
elected.

Irish Member of Parliament Is
Found Guilty
On Charge Of High Treason
Against Great Britain.
HE HELPED THE BOERS
Defense Made a Plea of Natur.
alizatiOn.
Prosecution Holds That This
Was Only a Pretext.

London, Jan. 2s.-Colonel Lynch was
found guilty and was sentenced to
death.
When the trial OF Colonel Arthur
Lynch, member Of parliament for CAL
way. on the charge Of high treason, was
resumed today counsel for the defense
began summing up. There was no at
tempt to deny that Colonel Lynch sup~
ported the Beers. but counsel contended
that his naturalization was in no way
prompted by reasonable intent and was
solely for the advantage he would thus
secure for journalistic purposes. Subse-
quently the defendant actively support
ed the Boer cause in the belief that he
was a legally naturalitzed burgher.
Replying for the prosecution tha
solicitor general. Sir Edward Carson.
maintained that Colonel Lynch Joined
the Boer army as a discontented Irish-
man, thereby committing a moss
cowardly and most serious act of trea-
son" His naturalization, continued the
solicitor general was only a f1insy pre-
text. Counsel then proceeded to detail
the prisoners alleged acts OF adherence
/ to his country's enemies.
/ The lord chief justice summed up
! very briefly He said that If in war
time a British subject joined the kings
enemies whatever his purpose he was
guilty of an unlawful act Naturaliza-
ton during war time afforded no excuse
4 whatever for subsequent acts There
was abundant evidence, he said, of overt
acts in aiding the kings enemies The
( jury after having been out half an hour,
returned a verdict ofsguilty.
When asked if he had anything to
say as to why he should not be sentence
ed to death. Col Lynch replied:
I will say nothing"
| The sentence Of death was passed on
each of the four counts in the indict-
ment
In delivering sentence Jnstice Wills
said the crime Of high treason of which
the prisoner had been found guilty, was
+ happily so rare that it seemed to be al
most an anaehronism. No civilized com
munity had yet failed to punish severe
" dlslOyaltyf whether IN open warfare
or secret intrigue In the darkest hours
of his country's fortune when engaged
in deadly struggle Lynch Joined the
ranks Of its foes and shed the blood Of
his fellow subjects, fighting for their
country and sought to dethrone Great
Britain from her place among the ma
tions. The only palliatiOn which could be
offered was that it had been the fash
ion for some years to treat lightly mat
ters of this kind and men had been en-
cOuraged to play with seditiOn and toy
with contemptuous Indifference speeches
and acts of seditiOn: but it was one
thing to talk sedition and quite q diff
ferent thing to bear arms in the ranks
of the cOuntry's foes.
Lynch throughout bore himself with
unfaltering composure. He walked out
steadily between the jailers and past
the bench where his wife and other
relatives were seated. Mrs. Lynch has
been given permission to see her hus-
band.
The prisoner then bowed to the courr
and was removed in custody.
