REPORTS RICH STRIKE
ON YUKON TRIBUTARY
Correspondent Says Claim Hold
ers Clean Up $500,000 in
Two Seasons Work

VANCOUVER, B. c., Aug. 27.-Pla-
Ger gold in quantities rivaling the
finds in the early days of the Klondike
is being mined bJ two parties of men
on creeks running into the Koyukok
river $50 miles from it's confluence with
the Yukon river in Alaska, according
to George Dupuy, a special correspon-
dent of the Paris Figaro, who arrived
in Vancouver yesterday on his way to
France.
Mr.. Dupuy says the men, of whom
there are fifteen, have kept the dis
covery a secret for two years. During
that time they have. shipped out only
enough gold to pay for their supplies.
Dupuy says the miners have cleaned
up 100000 in the two seasons they
haze been working the creeks.
1he characteristic of the gold is its
q arseness. Nuggets weighing half a
ound are not uncommon and record
was made when five nuggets found in
one day had a value of $4,000, says
Dupuy. He declares that eight men
shoveling dirt for four hours had a
cleanup worth nearly $4,000.
"There is no doubt about the cor
rectness of the strike" said Dupuy.
"My informant is on the layout. He
gave me the news on condition [
would not make it public until l had
reached the outside. If this informa-
ton were known in Dawson and Fair
banks there would be a stampede to
the place at once"

VICE PRESIDENT DECLARES
PRESIDENT TAFT PATRIOT
Sherman Delivers Address Before
Chautauqua at Clinton

CLINTON. Iowa, Aug. 27.-Vice Pres
ident Sherman Sherman stopped in
Clinton today just long enough to tell
the Weldon Springs Chautauqua that
he would not talk politics, and he did
not, unless eulogy Of President Taft
may be called politics.
This is the first halt made by the
vice president in a trip which is to
carry him through Missouri and Okla
homa, ending next Saturday night in
Oklahoma. He is accompanied by his
brother-in-law, Capt. Sherill Babcock
of New York.
civilian H. Taft is a patriot" de-
clared Mr.. Sherman. Behind that
charming personal presence, behind
that sunny smile, behind that dispo-
sition that would avoid controversy,
there is a stability and the tlrmness
to meet any contingency. An fllustra-
ton of this was last June when the
presidents of several great corporations
went to the White House and they
went figuratively with chips an theil
shoulders. There was the chance for
a heated controversy. The president
might have met them in the same
spirit, the chip on the shoulder spirit,
and there would have been an unpleas-
ant result.
"a man of less courage might have
given way. But President Taft did
not do so. There was "a calm, serious
talk, and when 1t was over the agree
ment was that the government should
go ahead in its course and that the
court should not be called on to settle
the contentious"
That was the way Mr.. Sherman re-
ferred to the somewhat famous meet
ing of President Taft and the railroad
managers to consider the freight ques-
tion.

SHERMAN PRAISES
PRESIDENT TAFT
In Adress at Decatur ILL.,, the Vice
President Says He Would
Avoid Conflict
Associated Press)

DECATUR, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-"There is
no greater admirer of President Taft
than myself" declared Vice President
Sherman tonight.
The declaration was made to an
open air gathering in the city park in
Decatur in the last speeches made by
the vice president in Illinois.
II have seen President Taft's
strength and his bravery in action"
declared the speaker. mo man that
| know is more anxious to avoid con-
troversy, or to give an affirmative
answer, but if the rights of the Re-
publican party-I should have said the
rights of the whole American people
are menaced, William II. Taft can put
aside his saUvity of manner and appear
the giant in mind as he is in stature,
standing infexibly for those rights"
The vice president announced at
the opening he would make a nom
partisan address, but he said in the
course of his remarks:
"The history of the country has
shown that the Republican party is
always right and the Democratic
party always wrong.
"Where are all the declarations of
principles of the Democrats?" he asked.
Fiat money, free silver, anti-imperal-
ism. All buried and now their only
cry is a tariff for revenue only, which,
finally means free trade. Every
prophecy of disaster under continued
Republican rule has been disproved,
and now let me ask you in aid of Pres
ident Taft, who is striving so earnest
ly for the welfare of all the people,
that you elect a Republican congress
so that such pledges as remain un-
fulfilled may be assured"

COTTON PRICES SOAR
WHEN SHORTS COVER
Advance of Thirty-Six Points Is
Made in New York

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-A new high
record was established for the season
in the cotton market today when Au-
gust contracts sold at $1.90, or S6
points above the closing figures of lest
night, and over 81 per bale above the
low price of yesterday morning.
This sensational gain was due TO
covering by belated shorts, following
the issuance of notices yesterday
which appeared to represent all the
cotton available here for delivery to
the bull leaders, and which lett the
remaining short interest without pro-
lection. The advance in August car
ried the price above the high figures
recorded in May and July, and the
movement was regarded as a continu-
alton of the bull deal which began last
FEBRUARY. The fluctuations had com
paratively little influence on the rest
of the market, however, and after
opening SOLO points higher, new crop
positions eased back to about the clos
ing figures of last night.
