WHAT STANDARD OIL Is.

Jermane's story of the ramifications
Of the Stand ard Oil company, the
huge trust President Roosevelt seeks
to destroy, is intensely interesting. He
gives q list of the corporations and
partnerships controlled by Standard
Oil company of New Jersey, sixty.nine
in number. which will be compelled to

concern If the president wins his cuse.
These different corporations are cap.
italized all the way from $4,000 to

salt to copper. 1t includes railroads,

Will Eight on Labor Day

Messrs. Joseph Cans of Baltimore and ''Battling' Nelson of Chicago will work industriously on Labor Day, Sept. 8, in a small ring at Goldfeld, Nevada. Incidentally they may work the public. The sporting pages of the outside papers are full of the coming fight for the light weight champion- ship. This is a real championship con- test because it is between the only men who have any claim to the title and it will be at the light weight limit-l33 pounds sringside. Suspicious sports are casting doubts upon the genuinenesS of the contest, but the weight of opinion is that it will be on the square because the Dane has al- ways been square and Cans has been trying to quit the faking habit lately. Because of the negro's shady reputa- tion Nelson was able to demand and receive two-thirds of the $3O,OOO purse, win OF lose

Tenderfeet Make Strike

The strike made in the Lepine dis trict late last week is one of the most peculiar of any recorded in the Yukon. The discovery, like that of the famous Cheechaco hill on Bonanza, was made by cheechacos. Several men while digging holes for the posts on which the heavy wires will be strung to con- duct the power of the Guggenheim plant from Twelve-mile to the mouth of the Klondike and Bonanza, struck white channel gravel at the bottom of one of the holes. They knew enough of the white channel rock by reputa- tion to know that there should be gold somewhere near it. Accordingly the men went up the hill little way and sank hole. They found pay on Fish creek, a tributary of Lepine, on the left limit. Lepine in turn runs into Rock, which emptieS into the Klondike on the right limit.-Dawson News.

CROWD
 INTO GOLDFIELD
Cans Nelson Fight Attracting Followers of the Game
 by Thousands.
By Cable ro The Daily Gateway.

Goldfeld, Nevada, Aug. 3l-Follow- CTS of the fighting game are coming into Goldfeld by thousands from all parts of the country. Many have al- ready arrived and the telegraph an- nounces that large numbers are on the way. Interest in the contest appears to be extraordinary since opinion has settled down to the belief that che fight is to be on the square.
 Not large amount of betting has been done so far, and even wagers are the rule, although it is said that slight odds have been demanded by Cans packers. The vague suspicion that the darkey may lay down has slight influence. although the suspicion has no apparent basis. It is admitted that Nelson will fight for keeps and that if there is any fake it will be ar- ranged without his knowledge. If Cans quits he will have to put up a strong fight first and then take a knockout, as anything else will show as fake.

SCHOONER THREE M CALLS
Little Boat of s Tons Safely Sails
 Open Seas.

The little gasoline schooner Three NJ, of B tons, dropped anchor in the harbor near the dock late Saturday afternoon, ending prosperous voyage from Seattle, which port she left July 9. She made several stops and re- mained several days at Cordova. She is under command of Captain Ernest F. Miller, an Alaska sourdough who has commanded mail steamers and other vessels along the coast for twenty years. She sailed again for Cordova Monday morning.
 Capt. Miller knows nearly every old Alaskan he found in Seward. This was his first visit to Resurrection bay since town was started on its shore. He first entered the bay in 1899. In 1900 and 1901 he commanded mail steamer which carried mail from Ju- neau to Dutch Harbor and called once a month in Resurrection bay to leave mail for Sunrise. He left this with the Lowell family and the carrier from Sunrise called for it.
 The pilot of the Three M is Capt. Ed. Clements, once master of the famous Puget Sound steamer City of Kingston. Later he commanded the Alert to Alaska. The little schooner has crew of five.

BURTON WILL RECOVER
Further Details About Fight with
 Bear at Chicaloon Bay

The Gateway correspondent at Sun rise sends an account of the fight which A. D. Burton had with a she bear at Chickaloon bay, correcting some details of the story first pub lished, but stating that Burton will recover in a few weeks, although he was badly hurt. The correspondent writes:
 While out camping on Chicaloon flats with his companion, Winfield Taylor, A. D. Burton in passing through some berry bushes came upon several brown bear. All got out of his way but an old mother bear with two cubs. He shot one cub and the old bear made for him, so he was com pelled to kill her. After he fired at her she fell on her back and he left her for dead.
 Burton then walked around the thick bushes to get at the dead cub and to his surprise came upon the mother, who had got up and moved toward her young. Before he had time to get out of her way she struck at him and broke his left forearm above the wrist. The bear jumped upon him and chewed his right leg and hand. He finally got his right arm around her neck and managed to check her breath. Having choked her she weakened, then he had a chance to escape. Not until he was a safe distance away from her did he re- alize how badly he was hurt. His left arm broken, right arm and hand bit up, and right leg badly bitten, he tried to make for his camp but soon weak ened from his injuries and loss of blood.
 Distress signals fired by Burton soon brought his companion. With the aid of other campers Burton was car ried to his boat and brought to Sun rise the next day.
 Burton has been in Alaska for sever- al years along the coast and in and about Nome. He is acquainted in Seward. Last year he built several boats in Sunrise, cutting his own tim Der and whipsawing the boards by himself.
 Burton's wounds must be looked af- ter very attentively as there is danger of blood poisoning. He will probably be laid up for few weeks and is now helpless. He is fixed up comfortably in cabin and his wants are attended to by the men.
