ALASKA GOLD OUTPUT.


Least Ten rlilliOnS.
Washington, Sept. 25.-Oficials Of
the United States treasury who are di-
rectly interested in the output Of pre-
cious metals believe that this years
output of gold in Alaska will not only
break all records, but that it will ex-
coed the total output of the Klondike
and the entire Yukon territory. This is
a condition which has been freely pre-
dicted for several years by the Alaska
mining interests. The gold output Of
the Klondike has fallen off largely
since 1900, while the developments Of
new fields in Alaska has gradually in
CREASED the production Of that terri
tory.
Director Roberts, of the United
States mint, who has made personal
inspection Of some Of the principal
mining properties in Alaska, believes
that tho 1905 output will exceed &c.,
600, 900. This is conservative state
ment, we'll within the bounds of prob
ability, and the prospect is that tibet
total output will be not less than $1,-
900, 900 in excess of the safe estimate
informally put forth by Director Rob-
erts.

Olympia, Sept. 2e.-The Olympian
this morning says:
There 10 serious hitch in the pro-
posed joint rate suit the state is to
bring before the railroad commission
to test the joint rate CLAUSE Of the new
commission law. The case was set for
hearing at Colfax October IS, in ex-
pectation that the pleadings would be
completed and served yesterday on the
railroads 90 the thirty days notice
would have run before the hearing.
1T is declared that the whole pro-
ceeding so far had is valueless and
that there may be delay of two OF
three weeks in preparing the papers.
The only complaint, that upon which
the proceedings art. drawn, is said to
have related to an occurrence Of more
than three years ago.
I'm view Of the importance of the
case it is urged that q new case be
made up-that formal shipment OF
coal from Roslyn be offered fer trans
portation over the Northern Pacific
and .. r. & N. and a tender made OF
the maximum freight rates on suoh
shipment under the joint rate law.
Then formal refusal will be had from
the railroads and the case can be pros.
ecuted.
As it is, the case that was about to
be prosecuted il said to DO lacking in
allegations showing definitely the date
Of tender Of the freight, by whom ten.
dered, the date and manner Of refusal
and other essential facts.
An effort is reported to have been
made to have the railroads consent tc
the facts on stipulation, thus avoiding
the necessity of specific allegations,
but the O. r. g N. refused to agree t.
such procedure"

MILLION DOLLARS DAMAGE
BY FIRE AT BUTTE, MONT,

Butte, Mont, Sept. 25.-Fire yester-
day did damage to the extent Of ST.

portion Of Butte lying between the
Shodair block and Renshaw alley on
the south side Of West Park street.
The fire started at "a % q. m. in Sy-
mons big department. store, which was
burned to ashes. A strong wind came
up from the south and the fire leaped
across the street to the new Clark build
ing, an eight story Office and apartment
structure owned by Senator CLARK.
From this point it leaped across to the
SIS, 900 public library, which contain
ed 500, 900 worth Of books and practic-
ally completely Quilted it. The Argyle
hotel and the Butte Miner, four story
building, were also licked up by the
flames before they were fully under
control at p. m.
The fire departments and apparatus
from half dozen Of the big copper
mines on the hillside were ordered out
by the mine owners to help save the
town, and special train, on which
was the Anaconda fire. department,
made the 80 mile run from Anaconda
in SO minutes, over one Of the crook
edest roads in the United States. The
assistance of the Anaconda linen was
very timely, as the Butte firemen were
nearly worn out.
Had the fire leaped across main into
the the crowded mass Of old business
buildings the loss would have been
many times greater and there would
have been nothing left Of Butte's bust
ness district. Half q dozen big hotels
and lodging houses, as many grocery
and dry goods stores, and numerous
shops and stores Of different kinds were
| wiped out.

Like Emile Loubet, Pope Plus K.
has a desire for simplicity and infor-
mality that equally distinguishes him
from his predecessor. It was only nat
ural that the man who, AZ Patriarch
at Venice, was always at home alike
to the humblest artisan as well AZ to
the richest and srandest patron Of the
church, should retain his simple mode
Of life when raised to the papal chair.
As BELTS one occupying such a post
ton, his meals are always quiet nnd
informal, never elaborate, and, unlike
Leo, who always dined alone, Plus x.

rounded by members Of his household
or high dignitaries Of the church. He
sits at table, raised little higher
than that at which his guests sit but
this is the only trace Of Formally that
IS observed.
In the Pope's dining room the ordin-
