PLACER STRIKE
 AT NENELCHUK
Discovery Reported From Deep Creek of Gravel Carrying
 50.Cent Pans.

A rich placer strike on the western side of Kenai peninsula back about fifteen miles in the interior from Nenelchuk, has started a stampede to the diggings, which are on Deep creek and Bat creek, a tributary of Deep creek. It is reported that 50 cent pans are regularly taken out.
 Miners from various places along the Inlet and Turnagain Arm have fiocked in there until a few days ago about 100 men were on the ground and the number was constantly increasing although the first arrivals were care full not to spread the news. The Inlet steamer Neptune was beached at Nenelchuk by the captain and crew while they went to Deep creek to stake ground.
 The original discovery was made by an old Russian named John Rash evnikov of Nenelchuk. He confded the facts to Chris Hansen, a well-known Inlet miner and prospector, and the two went to the place together. Han sen soon found that the strike was a rich one, as he repeatedly banned 50 cents and took l5 cents from an ordi- nary shovelful.
 Hansen and Kashevnikoy staked claims and went to work. In short time Hansen appeared at Seldovia with $2OO in dust and exchanged it for an outfit and returned. In the mean time news of discovery had perco- lated through the Inlet camps and the stampede was on.
 The region is described as beauti- full country with low rolling hills. Nenelchuk is Russian settlement of about 30 families a short distance up the Inlet from Anchor Point, where beach digglngs have been worked with some success for several years. The Russians hold aloof from the natives and other whites and pay little atten- tion to mining.
 It is reported that the Deep creek stampede nearly busted up the Welch railroad camp at Rainbow creek, on Turnagain Arm. A lot of the men hiked at the first alarm and those who couldn't think fast followed later. If the strike proves to be the real thing by the time Martin Welch gets back from the states he won't have any more railroad camp than a John rab- oit and will have to start all over again.

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

St. Petersburg, July lO-Revolution- ists are flying the red flag in twenty cities. In many places they have stopped streetcars and compelled the passengers to salute the revolutionary Hag. Near the Moscow military sta ton Lieutenant Tom was addressing a crowd of revolutionistS when the police attempted to disperse the assembly. The mob drove the police back with sticks and stones. Later Lieut.. Tom was arrested and taken to the fortress
 In the Peoples theater the audience last night sang the French "Marsel- Iaise" and were driven from the thea ter by Cossacks. Six newspapers here have been suppressed and their plants confscated. The monasteries have been forbidden to take any part in the political struggle.
 DisafTection has also arisen among the Cossacks. The CoSSacks of USt- medvieditsa refused to obey orders to join with the police organization. The Cossacks at Wusevoka were sent away because they declined to fire upon a crowd of revolutionary manifestants.

 FOR CONVENTION
Candidates and Delegates Will Start From Seattle for
 Juneau Tonight.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle. July lO-The advance guard of delegates to the Republican con- vention at Juneau will sail this even- ing on the steamer City of Seattle. In the main they favor the poSJponement of the convention until proxies from all parts of the territory can be re- ceived. It is known that several are on the way which cannot reach Ju- ueau by the l4th, the date fixed for the convention. It is claimed that diff .ferent course or any snap judgment would split the Republican party of Alaska.
 The candidates and nearly all the delegates will go tonight. With the crowd are several men who do not live in Alaska but have interests there and who are trying to take hand in the politics of the territory.
 R. J. McChesney, formerly of the Fairbanks News, says the Panama will not send delegates to the party con ventions but will leave those contests to other sections of the territory.

QUARTZ STRIKE
 NEAR SEWARD
Stevenson Brothers Make a Rich Gold Discovery in Hills Close
 to Trail Lake.

A rich quartz strike has been made recently in the hills lying southeast of Trail lake.
 When Skeen and Lechner made their Falls creek discovery, last July, among others attracted to the vicinity were two brothers, Stevenson by name. They pitched their tent over the di- vide, to the north, from Falls creek, and prospected until the snow covered the ground to such an extent as to preclude further search for the preci- ous mineral. The winter months were passed in hunting and trapping, and when the ground again became visible the brothers resumed their quest for gold. Their search was final ly rewarded by the discovery of ledge of white quartz, rich in gold values. The elements of erosion--sun, rain, frost, etc.-had attacked the surface of the ledge to such an extent that the out crop was merely mass of decomposed quartz, and it is difficult to determine the veins width until the live quartz shall have been struck. Samples of the quartz show it to be similar to that of the Falls creek mines-carry- ing values in free gold and tellurium.
 The Stevenson boys came to Seward a few days ago, purchased large out fit and returned to open up their pros Dect.

TO CELEBRATE ALASKA DAY
Fourth of July Committee Proposes
 Observance of October IS

At meeting Saturday of the Fourth of July committee to close up the financial business of the celebration it was voted that the small cash balance left on hand be kept by the treasurer of the committee, J. l.. Reed, to be turned into a fund to be raised for the observance of the anniversary of the formal transfer of Alaska to the Uni ted States. October IS, 1867. Itwas also voted to instruct the chairman, Cecil II. Clegg, to call a meeting of citizens about the middle of September to ar range for a celebration of Alaska day. This was done in order to give the citizens opportunity to name a com mittee to manage the celebration, as the Fourth of July committee did not care to assume the authority itself.
 The secretary of the committee was instructed also to address a letter to Gov. Hoggatt, requesting him to pro. claim a public holiday in honor of the recurrence of the anniversary of AlaSka's annexation.

Clerks Give Out Documents

St. Petersburg, July . It has been learned that the war office is forming extensive plans to meet revo- Iution with overwhelming force. Pa pers showing arrangements to defend Riga were stolen yesterday and pub lished today. This has created a sen- sation as it shows that clerks in the government offices are allied with the revolutioniSts.
 The revolutionaries grow constantly more bold and proceed with their pro- iects in almost open defiance of the government. The publication of the stolen papers is taken as an indication that they are ready 10 strike when ever favorable moment seems to present.

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle. July l3- George Mitchell slayer of Cremeld, was shot and killed by his sister Esther, for whose ruin he shot the Holy Roller" as he was stepping on the train for Portland yes ,erday afternoon at o'clock.
 The girl shook hands with George and said good-by, then as her brother turned to enter the train she drew a revolver from under coat which she carried on her arm. placed the muzzle close behind his left ear and fired. George dropped dead instantly.
 Fred and Perry Mitchell. brothers of George and Esther had accompanied George to the train and were standing close bv but the shooting was done 50 quickly that no one had time 10 raise a hand to interpose.
 At the police station the girl was cool and talked freely. She said she had determined as soon as George was acquitted last Tuesday that he should die. She had made an agreement with Mrs. Creaield that whichever arst got the opportunity should kill him. Mrs. Cremeld was immediately arrested and confirmed Esther's story. She said she made no attempt to kill George before he left the city because she feared she was watched.
 Asked Her to Come
 George Mitchell was anxious to see Esther before he leftthe city and effect a reconciliation. She took advantage of this desire on her brothers part to murder him. knowing that he would not suspect her. It was because of. this girls ruin that George killed the Holy Roller" Crefield had made the girl believe that she would become the mother of the second Christ. The girl is only Is years old now.
 The depot platform was crowded with curious men and women who went down to see George Mitchell de- part and give him an ovation, and in a few minutes after the shooting thous- ands were packed in the streets around the depot. Officers gathered close about the girl to ward off attack as there were quick demands that she be Ivnched. She was hustled into the patrol wagon and driven rapidly to the police station.
 Great indignation prevails in this city and in Oregon, public sympayhyin both states being wholly in favor of George Mitchell. Neither Esther Mitchell or Mrs. Crefield would be safe out of iail in either state.
