HERZKOVITZ WAS IN
THE SECOND GEORGIA.

May BE Man Who Got Gard from
President for Fighting in Cuba.
In the press dispatches of July 10
from Oyster Bay was given an account
of an interview with President Roose-
welt by Henry Herzovits," one of
the committee from the convention of
coal miners who called to ask the
President to investigate conditions in
Colorado.
The story told of the presentation
of card by President Roosevelt to
"Comrade Henry Herzovits." 1t was
stated that Herzovits had fought with
President Roosevelt in Cuba.
During the Spanish-American War
there was a Henry Herzkovitz who
was a private in Company NJ, Second
Georgia, in which Capt. Robert NJ.
Hitch was sergeant When shown
the dispatch yesterday Capt. Hitch was
sure the Presidents visitor was the
same man who was with the Second
Georgia at Griffin, at Tampa and at
Huntsville. The company did not go
to Cuba, though at Tampa it was
CHARTERED not far from Roosevelt's
Rough Riders for a time.
Il guess that's our soldier" said
Capt. Hitch. at sounds like him, and
all who were members of the company
will bear me out. He was not in
Cuba so far as I know, though after
he was mustered out of Company NJ,
in 1885, it is possible he re-enlisted in
some company which did get to Cuba.
'Herzkovitz had always taken an in
terest in the regiment, and had writ
ten me from some Pennsylvania town
several times, asking about the re-
unions"
Capt. Hitch was amused at the story
of Herzkovitz and the President, and
tried unsuccessfully to find some of the
letters which the soldier had written
him regarding the reunion.

MEAT PRICES WILL
DROP AT ONCE.
Settlement of Strike Makes Butch
ers Here Very Happy.

Settlement of Strike Makes Butch
ers Here Very Happy.
There was no drop in the price of
meats yesterday by reason of the set
Element of the packing house strikes,
although it was announced that prices
would Immediately drop back to the
old scale. To-day or tomorrow there
will probably be a drop.
The settlement of the strikes did
not change the situation here at all
and cannot for two or three days.
The certainty, however, that meat will
be arriving in as large quantities as
is desired made the butchers happy.
With prices back to the regular rates
their trade will be much better, they
say.
The situation here was never as
grave as in a number of other cities,
as the butchers here had an abund-
ance Of local cattle to draw on should
the Western supply of meat have been
cut off entirely. Prices will now i'm
mediately go down slightly and the
trade will be resumed with it's usual
briskness. It will, of course, be sew
eral days before the meat from the
West begins to arrive regularly, as
before the strike.

 New Placer Creek

A placer discovery was made on Me- Intyre creek, within three miles Of Whitehorse, last week, and by Monday morning 30 claims had been staked. The banning on the creek revealed de- pOsits of gold, copper and molybdenum.
 Mcintyre creek drains some of the best copper properties in the White horse district, and Mir. Foster was lead to prospect it because of the evidence of erosion on the hills which contain the copper and gold quartz properties. Be believed that these hills had been washed down and the heavy precious metals deposited as placer in the val leys. The prospecting has justified this conclusion to such an extent that there was quite astampede to the new discov- ery
