$4,000 IN GOLD
STOLEN ON SHIP
Lead lgnots Substituted for Bullion
Shipped From Alaska.
the DETECTIVES HAVE NO CLUE
Theft Committed on Yukon Steamer
Between Dawson and White Horse
or on Humboldt Between
Skasway and Seattle.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. 12.-Gold bull
lion valued at $57,5OO part of the con-
signment of $4,000 from the Wash
ington-Alaska bank of Fairbanks to
the Dexter.Horton National bank Of
Seattle on the steamship Humboldt,
was stolen in transit. Lead was sub
stituted in the strong box that contain
1t.
Discovery of the theft was an
nounced Sunday. The stolen gold
weighed ESQ pounds. When it left
Fairbanks on Yukon river steamer
for Dawson and White Horse the gold
was contained in three wooden boxes
and was in care of the Alaska Pacific
Express company. When the boxes
were opened by the Canadian Gus
toms officers at Dawson the golden
bars were found to be as stated in the
express company's papers.
Theft Discovered Friday.
The boxes were opened again at
the United States assay Office in Seat
tie Friday noon and the theft was dis
covered. One contained pigs of lead
instead of gold. The seals Of the
boxes were intact when they reached
the assay Office and it was evident
that the robbery had been committed
on board ship. The gold was insured
against loss by the express company.
The boxes were received at the as
say office Thursday morning and re-
NAMED there until the agents of the
consignee arrived next day to check
up the ingots. 1t is supposed that the
gold was stolen on the Yukon steam
er between Dawson and White Horse,
or on the steamer Humboldt between
Skagway and Seattle. The gold was
in the pursars cabin. 1t Is not GUS
tomary on gold shipments to take
elaborate precautions against robbery.
Detectives working on the case say
they have no clew. The robbery was
much like one four years ago, in which
$4,000 consigned to Seattle by the
Washington-Alaska bank of Fairbanks
over the Yukon river Skagway route
was stolen from a wooden strong box,
lead being substituted.
Owners Make Terms.
That theft was committed by Bob
by Miller, night Waterman on Tan
ana river steamer, which was carrying
the gold from Fairbanks to the Yukon
steamer, that was to convey 1t to
White Horse.
Miller concealed the gold in his
stateroom, got it back to Fairbnks
and secreted it so well that after his
arrest on suspicion the owners of the
bullion were glad to make terms with
him. He was promised short pris-
on sentence IL he returned the gold.
and he produced $4,000, alleging that
the other $4,000 had been stolen
from him.
