RICH GOLD STRIKE.
BISHOP BRINGS NEWS or. aIc
FIND IN ALASKA.
Episcopal Prelate Washed Out $500
Pans Himself and Says Others
Yield az High as $500
Metal Of Best Quality.

Seattle, Wash.-P. T. Rowe. bishop
OF the Episcopal church for the terri
tory of Alaska, who has just arrived
in the city from the north, brings the
first detailed authentic information re-
garding the big gold strike on Nolan
creek, at the head of the Koyukuk
river. Bishop Rowe was in the Nolan
creek camp when the strike was made
and washed out $500 pans on the
Olson claim with his own hands and
saw pans washed out that ran as high
as $1,000. Nolan creek is only about
200 miles from the Arctic ocean and
there were only 125 men in the camp
when Bishop Rowe left for the out
, side. The strike was made at
depth of about $50 feet and about S4O,-
900 has been washed by crude opera
tons, and it is estimated that the
cleanup at the end of this summer
will reach 100000.
The big strike was made as the
result of an agreement between q
number of miners who have been in
the Koyukuk district since 1885," said
Bishop Rowe. "All Of these miners
have been taking out sufficient gold
for grub stakes during the last ten
years, but have never attempted to
60 to bedrock before.
owing to the fact that the country
is wild and a long way from any set
Elements, the miners have simply
passed up good ground in the search
for the big strike. Whenever they
needed a grub stake they would work
some of this ground for several
months and take out enough to pro-
vide supplies for two years and then
continue to prospect for richer claims.
Last winter number Of the
miners at Nolan Creek agreed to give
300 feet each off their claims to the
man who would sink to bedrock or
to the pay streak on his claim. This
proposition was accepted by a man
by the name of Olson and his part
ners. He was a lucky Swede and
struck the pay at a depth of $50 feet.
saw pans washed out on this strike
washed out pans myself that ran as
high as $500.
"The gold is the highest quality Of
any gold that has been taken out Of
Alaska, running from $19.40 to 1880
per ounce. There is undoubtedly
plenty of the yellow metal in the Ko-
yukuk country, as it has been demon.
strated for years that all of the
streams carry gold that could be
worked at big profits with machinery,
but the prospectors Of that country
have continued to hunt for the richer
ground.
The news of the big strike pre-
coded us to the outside and there will
be big rush into the Koyukuk coun-
try this summer. All of the owners
of claims on Nolan creek are sinking
shafts to bedrock and reports of fur
Their rich strikes may be received at
any time"

THAW WAS ABSENT.
Attorney Asks That He Be Cited for
Contempt of Court.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 1.-THE second
hearing in the bankruptcy case of
Harry K. Thaw was held today before
Referee in Bankruptcy w. r. Blair.
Two attorneys, W. c. Boyd of Pough-
Stone & Stone, were present.
Attorney Boyd asked what had been
done with a view of bringing the bank
creditors today. Referee Blair inform
ed him that Attorney Meyer had per-
sonally served notice on Thaw at the
jail in Poughkeepsie. Attorney Boyd,
who represents H. N. Blain, proprietor
of a restaurant at Poughkeepsie, Their.
called Referee Blair's attention to ser
ton Al of the bankruptcy act and al
legged that the absence of Thaw from
the meeting today practically amount
ed to contempt, He asked the referee
to issue a certificate of the proceedings
so that it might be brought to the at
tention of judge in the United States
district court, who might take proper
action on learning that the bankrupt
had failed to put in an appearance.
Referee Blair stated that he did not
think 1t was altogether right and fair
for petitioner in bankruptcy to be
cited for contempt of court five min
utes after the calling on meeting of
the creditors, at which he had been
asked to be present. He said he would
refuse the certificate and requested At
tOrney Boyd to be sure of each step he
took in the proceedings. Attorney Boyd
then left the referees office with a
promise to return later.

application was made for bail. County
Attorney English advised the court that
under the Nebraska laws a charge Of
murder in the first degree was bailable
in cases where the evidence was not
conclusive and recommended that a
sufficient amount to insure Davis at
tendance in court when wanted be
named.
Make it as large as you please, we
will give it," answered Latham Davis.
Seven thousand dollars was fixed as
the bail and Immediately arranged by
the Davis brothers. The hearing was
sent for September "a, after which
Davis was released and left the Jail
accompanied by his two brothers and
his attorney.
Frank Graham, auditor of the Omaha
National bank, probably will be the
strongest and main witness of the
Davis brothers in establishing an alibi
for Charles Davis.
Graham lives at the Chatham, where
Davis lived, and rooms in an adjoining
room to that of Davis On the night
of the Rustin murder Graham says he
was awakened by some one vomiting
in Davis ROOM He got up and looked
at his watch. 1t was just g. O'Clock,
he says. The shooting occurred about
8 o'clock. Davis room is two miles
from the RuStin home.

This morning Davis came to the po-

charge of being a suspicious character,
which was filed against him some days
ago. AS soon as he entered the build

SMALL BILLS SCARCE.
New York Subtreasury Unable to Meet
the Demand.

New York, Sept. 1.-THE national
and state banks and trust companies
throughout the country have cash re-
serves that have been equalled seldom
in the financial history of the country,
but there has appeared this week d
scarcity of small bills which is begin
ming to embarrass many. bankers and
their customers. This lack of 81 and
81 bills is the more extraordinary be-
cause it occurs at a season when small
money is ordinarily plentiful and be-
cause in the panic last fall the treas
ury turned out small bills as rapidly
as the printing presses could work
them off and thus increased the
amount to a point never before
reached.
Owing to the demand for small bills
the New York subtreasury finds itself
without any bills of the smaller de-
nominations except those that are
turned in daily by the banks. The
banks desiring small bills are obliged
to look elsewhere.
