Seattle, Wash., Sept.. 12.—The
steamship Centennial reached pert
IiiHt night after a voyage to the
mouth of the Amur river, for which
place she sailed from San Francisco

mved them from capture hy the
iapanese Under command of Cap
biin Strand, the Centennial sailed
lorn San Francisco with a cargo
of salt and flour.
It is understood that she was un
der chartei to a man named kouri,
who claimed that lie was taking the
cargo to a cannery which he owned
at Niltoialevsk, some distance from
the mouth of flu- Amur.
The Centennial dropped hi chor
fifty miles off Nlkoiaiev.sk. . Here she
was obliged to wait for nineteen days
before she could discharge her cargo
and get away.
Although the cargo of the Centen
nial was said to have been shipped
hy a priiate party, the fact that the
work of discharging ii was done by
Russian soldiers caused her crew to
suspect that it was not for private
use.

Senators Ankeny and Sweeny are
sain to be favorable to action in ac
cordance with which the governor
would find airaself face to face with
a formidable rival for his chair.

original discoverer of gold on Little
Creek, in which an injunction was
asked restraining the defendant from
miuing, operating, or extracting gold
from. No. 1 lielow Discovery on Little
Creek, came up In the district court

This action was brought because

months after the discovery of gold

belonged to them. J. C. Brown, li»
an elaborate and lucid answer,
showed that he had located tlie
claim in 1901, and that tlie title was
his not only by that location, but
alsc by two other locations—In 1902
and 1903. Brown produced records
of those locations. He also produced
lecorde of various other titles, pow
ers of attorney, indentures and loca
tion notices of the claim in dispute.
Affidavit was made by B. ,T. Savage
that he had heard Jafel. Lindeberg
i.111 hi the Railroad claim as if it
weie Brown’s property, and other
wise act as if the claim were Brown’s.
He affirmed that Brown was the or
iginal discoverer and that no such
sum as $450,000 had been taken
from It.
Andrew Anderson and others cor
roborated 'lie above testimony, and
overed many other important points.
When counsel had been heard for
ind against, the court, after a collide
nf minutes' deliberation, refused to
grant the Inunction.

$10,000,000 OUTPUT
FOR THE YEAR OF 1905
Special to Dull)' (told Digger.
Washington, Sept. 23.—Director
Roberta of tho mint estimates that
the output of placer gold from Alas
ka this year will reach tho large
sum of $10,000,000. The estimate
for the Nome district last year was
$4,500,000. It was believed, how
