DIVIDES FORTUNE.

SAN RAFAEL, Cal, June 15.-Gus Cornelius, an Alaska miner who made fortune in the north, after searching two years for his partner, Hugo Chance, young mining engineer, who was with him in Alaska, found him in a hotel in this city, and Chance is now a rich man made so by division of the property he and Cornelius own cd together years ago.
 The properties were staked by the two men five years ago, and Chance returned to the states after an un- successful three years in Alaslla. Cor nelus lost sight of him end efforts to locate him by letter failed.
 In the meantime the claims yielded handsome results and Cornelius finally became rich man.
 Then he set out to find his young partner. Coming to California, the Alaskan miner searched everywhere for the engineer but failed to find any trace of him until he accidentally ran into him in the hotel. Both were guests and the men met in the lobby of the hostelry. Their meeting was characteristic of Alaskans and Cornell jus soon told Chance of the good for tune that was theirs. His proposal to divide half the proceeds with Chance was refused at first but the engineer finally accepted the division.
 The men are partners again, and to- gether they will og to Alaska to continue the development of the rich properties they have.

TUNNEL sLulcg IN OPERATION.
(From Fridays Daily.)

The immense tunnel slulce recently completed between Iron Creek and the Pilgrim River, has been placed in op- eration by Frank Waskey, the owner and builder, and the plant is running night and day washing much aurifer- ous gravel through the mountain to the lower stream on the other side.
 Waslsey arrived in the city yester- day having placed the plant at work last Saturday. The suice is a sue cess in every way, the large Hume car rying the dirt with q big force of water easily and without any hind rance whatever.
 The tunnel sluice, as has been de- scribed before in the Gold Digger is a Hume about ,4OO feet in length, four in width and some thirty inches in depth, running through a mountain 10G feet in height Waskey has extensive holdings on Iron Creek and it's tribu- taries and is ground sluicing the gray el into the Hume and through the mountain.
 Any amount of water up to 10000 inches can be obtained from the Was key water rights on Iron Creek, though the amount of 2,500 inches is all that is necessary for the operation of the plant.
 Estimates made of the plant and the area of country it will work, show that even with the gigantic method of hand ling the gravel, there is enough gold bearing gravel on the WasSey proper ties to run the tunnel sluice for fif- teen years TO date this is the big gest placer mining venture on Seward Peninsula

BOILER EXPLOSION
 LIKE EARTHQUAKE

DENVER, June IA terrible dis astcr occurred here last night when the giant boiler in the city gas and electric light power house eXpl
 Three people were killed and a score injured and seven are missing as q result of the explosion, and much damage to property was done by fly ing debris.
 Darkness had just closed around the city when the huge boiler burst, and the shock was equal to an earthquake. Houses for blocks around were thrown to the ground and wrecked, and win dows were cracked and broken in buildings ten and twelve blocks dis tant.
 The entire city was plunged in dark ness. and after great difficulty, rescu- erers succeeded in removing the bodies of seven employees who had been crushed and scalded beyond recogni- ton.
 The city council and police authori- ties have ordered a searching inves- itgation, but as the three fremen who were on shift, and who would most likely be to blame, are dead it is not thought that much information will be gleaned.

One of the happiest little Japanese ever arrived in Nome came here last night on the steamer corwin from St Michael bringing with him fat poke filled with gold dust and worth some thing like ten thousand dollars.
 The name of the Japanese whose fortune in the Innoko country was good. is Frank Neemee and he is a typical hustling Japanese. Going to the Inno5o two years ago, he made the discovery on Ophir Creek and is now one of the biggest operators in the country.
 Selling his claim to other stamped CTS, Neemee acquired more property, taking leases on promising ground which he worked last winter. Togeth- CT with the gold he cleaned up himself from the dump he extracted as a lay man, and the royalties he obtained from the other properties he leased, the Japanese made a comfortable lit- tie fortune and is now en route to the states for the summer.
 He is not quitting the country how ever, and will return to the Innoko this fall. He expects to take out much more gold this coming winter
 Winter Was Successful.
 According to Neemee, the winter just passed witnessed the production of large amount of gold, the estimat- ed output being fully a quarter of q million dollars. About 450 persons wintered in the Innoko, and of this number 300 were engaged in actual mining their own account.
 Johnny Morrow. well known here, is also a recent arrival from the Innoko and he brought with him gold worth about $20,OO0. Ncemce and Morrow left the Innoko about seventeen days ago.

 Much Interest M Manifested.

The reported rich strike on the KuskofWim River as published yes terday in the Gold Digger is authentic, according to letter received recently by a Nomeite named Storm. The letter written by men now at work on the Tuluksak River says that rock CTS at work on the upper rim of the stream are yielding from two to three ounces a day to the man and that a great interest is manifested in the strike by men from all sections of the country.
 A number of Nome men are leaving for the scene of the strike, and parties from other sections of Alaska are en route to the new diggings.

D ESTINED to death or fated to a D swift exit from the joys, sorrows, cares and happucsses of this life, thousands of people are daily sent to the eternity willy nilly keeping march with the grim master Death who has his agents of destruction in accidents and earthquakes busly employed Without a break. the days are record ed by the nand of time with their fulness of bitter hurt and sorrow, lives plotted out in d moment, unknoWing but yielding, uncarlng in their uncon- sciousuess.
 Further and further rolls the stone from the precpice into the abysmal depths where he vanishcs. Day by day there are chroniclcd terrible nor TOTS of fire and flood, of crashing fall ing buildings, of dread earthquakes that rip and tear nations asunder and send their people to their doom.
 It started with the great earthquake that despoiled San Francisco but which stung the pride of the people to the quick. and made them build to a better and stronger advantage. Fol lowing the carnage of fire and the crashing downward of the fine struc- tures. fatalities piled themselves in q heap upon the pages of history, where they will be held in wonderment hy people yet unborn.
 Then came~ other disasters that wrung the hearts of the people and bled them deep. Thousands fell vic tims without time to weep the things fate did were done quickly.
 Thus it is. Without the argument of predestinatlon or the decree of Fate to confuse and tangle persons with differentiated ideas, peculiarly the same but misunderstood, what hap pens must be experienced else man must remove himself from the face of the earth. eliminate his posterity and his work, destroy his preparations and dash his hopes to nothingness. Man must grin and bear it.
