TO HEAR LAND FRAUD CASES.


LEWISTON, Idaho, Oct. 2.-Deputy
United States Attorney Miles S. John
son returned last night from Boise and
will take charge of the cases that are
to come before the federal court at its
North Idaho term, which will convene
at Moscow, October 29. One Of the
principal cases which will come up for
trial is the hand fraud case from the
Coeur d'Alenes, in which William Dollar,
w. D. Preston and Arthur f.. Swisher
are made defendants, being charged with
conspiracy. There will be one murder
case and number of horse stealing
cases from the Coeur d'Alenes.

The gold recovered was taken from
shallow diggings in the bed of the pres.
ent creek, where it was not more than
three feet to bedrock. The indications are
that gold will be found in benches sim
lar to those OF Nome, and ii so the min.
ing will have to be done by means OF
shafts and tunnels. / had the gold
assayed at Nome, and it assays $3.50
to the ounce. 1t is coarser in character
than any of the gold found at Nome and
more resembles the gold in the Klon-
dixie.
Before leaving on my return trip
from Nome | made arrangement for for
ty experienced millers to proceed to the
new fields and work during the winter
They left for Andamir on the steamship
Pennsylvania, which was equipped with
complete outfit of machinery for min
ing purposes. This includes coal and
steam boilers for the purpose OF thaw-
ing out the ground so that the earth
can be removed during the winter. The
ship also carried large quantities of
food supplies and lumber for the con-
struction of sluice boxes.
"The territory occupied by the East
em Siberia Company is secured by a
concession from the Russian government
and include perhaps 10000 square miles,
1t occupies that part of Asia exactly
opposite the Seward penensula. The
company is primarily Russian enter
prise, and as soon as I can, l will 90
to st. Petersburg to report on the dis.
coyery to the head office of the COM
pany.
81 sailed from Nome to Andamir on
the steamer Gussie Brown, and on the
way back we ran short of coal. It
looked serious, and / have no doubt but
that we would have been drifting around
in the ice yet had We not been discov-
cred by friendly Eskimo, who carried
word to a Russian man-ofwar in Marcus
bay. The Cars vessel was engaged in
survey work and the captain kindly
furnished us with sufficient fuel to carry
us back to Nome.
"As to the conditions in Nome, be-
lieve gold production this year will be
between 100000 and SS,000000, APP
proximately the same as last year. The
bulk OF the bullion will be got out be-
fore the close of navigation. Winter
mining will be carried along on about
the same scale as last year, with con-
siderable prospecting to discover addi'
tiOnal bench lines.
Custom house officials told me that
200 people would have left Nome, pro-
yiding no more came in the population
would be equal to that OF last winter
As it is not likely that the exodus will
be that great, and as 400 or 500 people
are sure to 90 in, the population this
winter will likely be somewhat larger
than last. Merchants are looking for
a good business.
