K1oND1KE GOLD DREDGING.
New Era Dawning on Rich Placer
Region.

1t Is reported by Consul Ravndal of
Dawson that an era Of gold dredging is
dawning on the Klondike
The rich, early-discovered creeks have
already, by crude and wasteful methods,
been worked over They are now being
subjected to another, more scientific,
treatment. A prominent feature of the
new system Is gold dredging. 1t has
proved eminently successful in the Klon-
dixie. in spite Of such drawbacks as diff
culties Of transportation. high cost of in
stallation and operation, frozen gravels
and short seasons. Gold dredging in the
north has passed the experimental stage
and become an established and promising
industry Extensive areas of low-grade
ground which have been lying idle be-
cause under the former manner of mining
the cost of extraction would equal, II not
exceed. the returns. are being made pro-
ductive through the use of dredges ham
ding 5000 or more cubic yards of dirt
every twenty-four hours.
There are now in the Klondike, either In
operation or in course of installation. near
ly q dozen gold dredges. Next season will
witness the arrival of several additions to
the northern mining fleet, some of which
will be put to work in the Forty-mile and
Birch creek districts of Alaska. All of
these gold ships are OF American make.
Occasionally 1t is said that dredges from
other countries may enter into competition
with American PATTERNS. OUCH reports are
probably idle and merely the result Of i'm
patience because American manufacturers
cannot at present fill all orders promptly.
Calls for gold dredges come from Califor-
mia, Montana, Idaho and Colorado. Gold
dredging Is to be tried in Siberia and in
the valleys of the Yalu, the Amur. the
Hohangho and the Yangtze. The present
inability Of American dredge manufacturers
to supply the demand is perhaps chiefly due
to Panama canal requirements.
It is expected that the introduction OF
dredges will greatly increase the output OF
gold in the Klondike. In 1905 this was re-
duced to about $7.5OO.OO0. as against $10,-
10000 in 1904. $1S.0OOOO0 in 1901. and S22.-
275,OOO in 1900.
Speculations are already rife as to wheth-
err this enlarged supply from the Yukon,
coupled with Alaska's growing yield OF new
gold, will not perceptibly affect the general
economic conditions in America as a whole.
During 1906 Alaska will probably furnish
some $2OOOO.O00 Of gold, as against $14. $40 :
600 for 1905, 3d. OOO, 600 in 1904 and $3.50 600
for 1903. 1t Is pointed out that seasons of
exceptional prosperity have followed each
of the great gold finds of recent times
those Of Australia, of California, Of South
Africa and of the Klondike. So far most
of the capital invested in dredging opera
lions in the Klondike Is owned by citizens
of the United States and most Of the geld
cleaned up is sold in Seattle.

Barge Struck sunken Pile.

In one Of the violent storms which swept
over the river about ten days ago two
light sand-carrying barges belonging to the
Potomac Dredging Company were blown
ashore near Giesboro Point on the south
side of the Eastern branch and were left
stranded and full of water. A day or two
ago one OF the pumping machines belong
ing to the Columbia Sand Company was
put to work pumping the barges out in or
der to take them to shipyard for repairs.
One was raised successfully. but an exami-
nation of the huh Of the other showed that
1t had run upon a sunken pile and that the
bottom had been STAYED through Other
means will be taken to save the craft. The
barge that was floated has been taken to
Alexandria. where 1t will be hauled out. re-
paired and made ready for service again.

Spends Life Among Lepers.

Probably the strangest Observance of Me-
mortal day is that which occurs at the lep.
er settlement on the island of Molokai,
Hawaii Only one man observes it. and he
is known as Gods Good Man Of the Set
Element" Brother Joseph Dutton is his
name. Brother Dutton has spent twenty
years in the leper settlement. ministering
to the wants and Affections of the unfor-
Inmates who are segregated there. The
cause for Brother Dutton leaving his home
in Cincinnati and taking up the life that
he has is a matter of mystery. Some say
that an unfortunate affair Of the heart was
the cause. On every Memorial day Brother
Dutton takes small American flag and
displays IT in his room. and there. when he
can find the time, holds devotions charac-
teristic of the occasion.

Car. Exploded Dynamite.

A 9Th avenue car. in New Yory city, ex-
ploded a dynamite cartridge at Both street
last night, creating a panic among the
crowds in the street at the time and smash
ing windows in the Haymarket and neigh
boring houses and saloons. The reserves
of the 3Oth street station were at once or
dered out by the sergeant on the desk. and
twenty men were on hand almost at once to
uuell the panic. For a minute II was
thought that bomb had been exploded by
some passing anarchist. People remem-
bered the raid on corner socialists last We'd

Tins might have come back to get revenge
on the police. The Haymarket was full at
the time and it Immediately emptied its
crowd into the street to add to the confu.
