Is the Richest Ever Trod

Come
HUNDREDS OF RICH RIVERS
OF WHICH ONE SAMPLE HAS
BEEN POUND
Death Grins in the Face of the Pros
pector Who Goes in Without a
Good Supply of Provisions
Associated Press Special Wire.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 13.—Hon. C.
H. Mcintosh, governor of the North
west territory, in which is Included the
far-famed Clondyke district, is in Seat
tle, being en route to Reglna, the capital
of his wealth-laden kingdom.
The governor, like many other reput
able men, freely subscribes to the truth
of the stories sent out as to the richness
of the new diggings. In truth, the gov
ernor is an enthusiast over the wealth
producing possiblities' of British Yukon.
"I consider the British Yukon gold
fields the richest ever trodl by man,"
Gov. Mcintosh observed, this afternoon.
"It Is a great treasure house in "which
gold has been accumulating for hun
dreds of years. Indeed, the gold supply
is practically inexhaustible. There are
hundreds of rich rivers and creeks —
Clondyke Is only one of them."
The governor estimates that the Clon
dyke and, Its tributaries yielded over
$3,000,000 in gold last winter. Of this
amount he says $2^000,000 and upwards
came out via the steamships Portland
and Excelsior. More than $1,000,000 In
dust, he says, is now stored away In the
cabins of miners along the creeks being
developed.
"The British Yukon yield of gold for
1897," the governor resumed, "will not
be less than $10,000,000. Of course, in this,
as was the case with the Casslar and
Cariboo counties, it is not possible to
keep a record' of what is taken out, but
I am convinced that I am riot placing the
amount too high.
"I placed the gold and silver yield of
the Ross'and and' Kootenai districts for
1897 at $7,000,000, and I have semi-official
information to the effect that it will be
very near the exact figures, all of which,
to my mind, is ample evidence that
within five years these' districts will be
producing more gold than either Colo
rado, California or South Africa."
Gov. Mcintosh says surveyors are now
at work trying to ascertain, the feasi
bility of the construction of a railroad
Into the Yukon. One route contemplates
a line of steamers from Fort Wrangle up
the Stikeen river, which Is open for
navigation to both countries to Tele
graph creek, there to connect with a
railway running to Teslin lake. From
the Teslin lake terminus boats will be
run along a series of lakes and rivers to
the Yukon.
A NOTE OF WARNING
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19—The Alas
kan gold fields and the stories brought
here by the recent arrivals from the
Clor.dyke continued to be an absorbing
topic of conversation throughout this
city.
From every quarter come fresh reports
of the astonishing possibilities of the
newly discovered camp, and theispirits
of adventurous fortune seekers who,
with the first news by the steamer Ex
celsior was set aglow, have now been
fanned into a consuming flame. In ev
ery quarter may be found prospective
miners, prospective merchants, traders,
tradesmen and worklngmen.all of whom
are outlining plans for profitable occu
pation la the region of the country
which is at this moment the center of
the world's interest.
Those whose knowledge of Alaska and
of the Alaskan gold Held entitle them to
speak intelligently on the subject, not
only seem to share a similarity of opin
ion as to the great resources of the ter
ritory that has Just been opened but
also as to the resources that those who
go thither to seek the precious metal
must possess if they hope to returniwlth
any degree of success.
In an interview today, H. J. Borlin.g,
who has visited'that section for the last
ten seasons, spoke briefly of his ideas
of the Alaskan prospects, and while his
Impressions are of a most sanguine
character, he says emphatically that in
his opinion no man. should journey to
the Clondyke country without at least
$1000 in money and supplies. I
"The season in which the mines can
be worked Is from May 15 to September
15, and during that time the weather
closely resembles the weather in this
locality, but during the balance of the
year it Is impossible to work the mines
unless they are operated underneath the
covering of a house.
"The cost of living may be safely esti
mated at $5 per day, and those who go
north must figure on that basis. There
is good game to be had in the form of
reindeer, moose and mountain sheep
during the winter, but outside of this
form of food all other be
imported."
BULLION RECEIVED
HELENA, Mont., July 19.—Eleven
thousand four hundred ounces of gold
duft from the Clondyke diggings in
Alaska arrived here last night via the
Northern Pacific Express from Seattle
Ten thousand ounces were consigned to
the American National bank, this city,
and the balance to the United Statesas
LOS ANGELES, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 20, J897
say office to be melted and cast in bars.
This Alaska shipment in consectlon
with about $30,000 received from placer
mines in this vicinity makes the total
receipts at the assay office in value
about $230,000, or more than double the
largest previous receipts for one day.
IT'S BRITISH SOIL
NEW YORK, July 19.—A special to
the World from Washington says: The
possibility of serious international com
plications between the United States
and Great Britain as the result of the re
cent gold discoveries in Alaska has be
come apparent to the State Department.
Senator Davis of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee has been requested
to secure the immediate ratification of a
treaty for determining the boundary
line between Canada and Alaska in or
der to lessen the probable difficulty.
Chairman Davis has announced' his
Intention of calling this treaty up for
action at the next executive session of
the Senate. There is said to be no ob
jection andi prompt ratification is ex
pected.
HIDDEN TREASURE.
SEATTLE, Wash.. July 19.—The
amount of treasure brought down from
the famed Clondyke by the steamship
Portland is now placed at $1,500,000 and
there Is good reason to believe that the
sum was nearer $2,000,000.
In this connection something In the
nature of a confidence game appears to
have been worked on the North Ameri
can Trading and Transportation Com
pany or its officials In charge of the
Portland, by the miners. Each man was
required to place his' gold dust in the
ship's safe, but this was not done by
any means 1 . Many of the miners se
creted their diust in blankets and lug
gage, which were taken either to their
staterooms or thrown carelessly about
the ship.
Clarence J. Berry, one of the Clondyke
kings, brought down at least $84,000 in
nuggets, not a cent of which the Port
land had a record. This statement Is
made on the authority of Captain Will
iam Kidston, the master of the vessel.
When pressed for an estimate as to the
grand total of the Portland's gold car
go, Captain Kidston said it was, no
doubt, nearer $1,000,000 than the amount
accounted for on the ship's records.
At present only miners' laws rule the
camp, but next year Dawson City will
be incorporated and municipal officers
elected. The miners are determined on
one thing, however, namely, that order
shall be preserved at all hazards. No
sure-thing gamblers will be permitted
In either Dawson City or the diggings.
Information comes from Juneau to the
effect that several rich strikes have re
cently been made in the neighborhood
of Forty Mile. The location has been
christened Minute Creek, and Is now
panning out $22 a day to the man. An
other discovery on American Creek,
fifty miles below Forty Mile camp, is
said to be paying well, andi a great num
ber of men have flocked there during the
last few weeks. The pans run from $10
to $18. It is thought likely that many of
the prospectors will strike for these
camps, thus relieving the s train on Daw
son City.
EFFECT ON SILVER.
WASHINGTON, July 10—Quite a
number of statesmen were asked what
will be the effect of 1 the Alaskan gold dis
coveries on- the silver question. Most
of them were inclined to the belief that
the possible production of the new gold
country h 1 been highly exaggerated
for the benefit of the transportation com
panies ar.d local supply companies.
Senaitor Allison, when as'kcd about the
situation, said': "If the product of gold
in Alaska is really enormous, it would,
of course, tend to approximate thevalue
of gold aud silver, but the output would
have to be unprecedented to have much
effect, for our output of gold is' very large,
you must remember."
■Another authority said, without hesi
tation, that there could' be possibly no
effect upon the monetary situation un
less the discoveries of gold were so stu
pendous as to take gold out of the list
of precious metals.
CONFLICTING OPINIONS.
NEW YORK, July 19.—The World
says': Daniel Guggenheim of the firm
of Cuggenhelm & Sons, who have large
smelting- interests, when seen at his
Long Branch cottage, confirmed there
ported' discoveries in the Yukon coun
try, andi said that the new fields would
yield far in excess of even the present
roseate Indications.
"For some time my firm has had ex
pert mining engineers at work in Alas
ka," he said, "and their report says the
Yukon gold fields will prove the richest
In the world. My opinion Is that assoon
as the country has been opened up and
shipping facilities' furnished, the out
put of gold will be simply enormous. As
the production of gold' increases, sliver
wil be enhanced in value. This I regard
as certain."
Mr. Guggenheim declined to give In
details the reasons for his faith for high
er values for silver.
There are several well-informed men
who look upon the reported discoveries
as exaggerated. One of these is F. Ho
bart, associate editor ot the Engineering
and Mining Journal.
"Yes, I have readi these stories," said'
he, "but, to be frank, I do not credit
them. Our information, which is de
tailed and positive, makes it impossible
for me to accept the repeated announce-
ment that the Yukon river runs over a
bed of virgin gold. As a matter ot fact,
some person's have struck fairly rich
placers In the/ Yukon district. But the
large majority of gold seekers in that
country have been stranded. There is
only a placer yield, on record for this>
section. No quartz has been discovered—
not a fragment. Of course, it is fed out
and worn out during ages from the
mountains and indicates! the existence of
ricii quartz deposits. Along the coast
conditions are different. There we have
the quartz mines of Douglass Island,
Bernois Bay and Sumdum, all rich, and
one—the Alaska Treadwell—ranking as
the largest in the world."
LAND OFFICERS NEEDED.
NEW YORK, July 19—A special to
the Tribune from Washington say&:
The increasing number of gold-seekers
In the Yukon basin, not only in the
Clondyke region in British Columbia,
but in Alaska also, has impressed offi
cials of the government In Washington
anew with the necessity of reinforcing
the agencies of the government in the
latter.
From Circle City, on the Yukon, dur
ing the last few months, have come the
most urgent appeals and demands to
have the mineral land laws of the United
States extended over the surrounding
region, and It Is probable that In his first.
annual message to Congress, Secretary
Bliss of the Interior Department will
approve the recommendation of Com
missioner Hermann of the General Land
Office, that this be done, and also that
a fully equipped local land office be es
tablished at Circle Cjty.
Of course, neither of the things can
be done until after authority has been
given by Congress. Among members of
that .body a strong Indisposition' has
been manifested tow ard the extension of
the powers and agencies of the civil
government over Alaska ever since the
acquisition of the Territory thirty years
ago because of the meager population
and the apparent lack of necessity for
such legislation.
In the course of a recent conversation
with a correspondent on this subject,
Representative Lacey of lowa, who was
chairman of the Committee on Public
Lands in the last Congress, said:
"I suppose some of the anomalous
conditions which exist In Alaska Is be
cause the Committee on Territories had
Its time fully occupied with others mat
ters, and the Committee on Public Lands
has not thought It expedient to take
action In regard to land legislation there
until some further general legislation
respecting the government to the Terri
tory has been enacted. Our committee,
however, did recommend the passage of
a bill for the establishment of a land
office at Juneau and the House passed
It, but the Senate did not act on it."
ANTI-FOREIGN RIOTS
ABE STIRRED UP BY CHINESE AT
WUCHEN
The Missionaries Mobbed and Their
Buildings Destroyed—More
Disorder at Bangkok
TACOMA, Wash., July 19.—News
comes by the steamer Pelican that the
entire mission premises of the Plymouth
Brethren at Wuchen, China, have beet
destroyed by a Chinese mob. Chinese
boys In the streets Insulted missionaries
who reproved them. They complained
to their parents, who, by starting the
old story of child stealing and killing,
raised a mob and attacked Aye women
and twelve male missionaries in their
houses. The missionaries gathered In
the school room and barricaded the doors,
escaping later to another house, where
the mob followed them. As darkness
gathered the missionaries escaped to th?
hills in the- rear of the houses, while the
mob hurled stones and clubs at them
Several were slightly injured but no
names are given.
The mob returned to the houses ani
destroyed every vestige of property the
missionaries possessed. The mob then
turned its attention to the Roman
Catholic mission, but by this time the
officials had been notified and sent sol
diers to prevent further damage.
The Plymouth Brethren missionaries
escaped In boats that night and the next
day the local mandarin sent a squad of
soldiers to protect them.

WELBURN'S WAYS
Sensational Assertions of Most Delib
erate Crookedness
SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.—Ex-Col
lector of Internal Revenue O. M. Wel
burn appeared before United States!'
Commissioner Heacock today for pre
liminary examination upon the charge
of embezzlement preferred against him
by Special Agent Thrasher. The testi
mony proved to be unusually sensational
and disclosed a state of affairs wholly
unexpected by Welburn's friends. It was
shown by F. H. Dillard, a colored mes
senger, employed in Welburn's office,
that at the instance of his employer he
had signed the name of E. C. Aiken to
salary checks for each month from. Sep
tember last until March, this year. These
signatures were modelled upon genuine
signatures furnished by Welburn. Chief
Deputy Louis Loupe had subsequently
acknowledged each signature under
oath. Aiken stated that he only received
$25 per month for his services, al
though he was on the payroll for $1000
per annum and that he had not author
ized anyone to use his signature. Owing
to the illness of Loupe a continuance was
granted until Tuesday next.

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINTGON, July 20.—The con
ference report on the bill was adopted
by the hou.se shortly after midnight by
a vote of 185 to 118, and st noon today the
report will go to the senate for action
there. This eclipses all previous records.
The result was accomplished after
twelve hours of continuous debate. But
two speeches were made by the R'-nub
licans, one by Mr. Dingley, in opening
the debate, and, by Payne of New York
in closing It. The Democrats were thus
forced to put forth speaker after speak
er, but their bombardment of the Re
publican position was unanswered.
In all ten Democrats and one Populist
speeches were made. Wheeler of Ala
bama, Swanson of Virginia, Bell of
Texas, Lanham of Texas, Kelly of
North Dakota, Fleming of Georgia,
Handy of Delaware, McDowell of Ohio,
Perry of Kentucky, Bailey of Texas and
McMlllin of Tennessee, being the speak
ers.
The sugar schedule was the main
point of assault, but the most interest
ing feature of the debate occurred when
Bailey and McMillin, the two rival
Democratic leaders, crossed swords on
the question of orthodoxy of the free
raw material doctrine, the former op
posing and the latter championing it.
The galleries were crowded up to the
time when the vote was taken,many dis
tinguished people being present. Among
them were many senators, many mem
bers ot the cabinet and a few member*
of the diplomatic corps. Every Repub
lican in the house who was present voted
for the report. The Democrats, with
five exceptions, voted against the re
port. The exceptions were Slayden of
Texas, Broussard of Louisiana, Meyer
of Louisiana. Davey of Louisiana and
Kleburg of Texas.
The Populists and Silverltes did not
vote solidly. Shafroth of Colorado,
Newlands of Nevada and Hartman of
Montana, Silverltes, did not vote.
The Populists who voted against the
report were as follows: Baker, Barlow,
Botkin, Fowler, Jett, Lewis, Marshall,
Martin, Peters, Simpson, Stroud and
Vincent. Four did not vote —Howard,
Kelly, Stark and Sutherland. The other
Populists were absent. An analysis of
the vote shows that ISO Republicans ar.d
Aye Democrats voted for the report and
106 Democrats and 12 Populists voted
against it.
The floor of the house presented an
animated appearance long before the
speaker rapped that body to order today.
Members stood about in groups and dis
cussed, sometime? in excited tones, the
result of the conference agreement on
the tariff bill. The final conference re
port on the general deficiency appro
priation bill was adopted.
This out of the way, Mr. Dingley arose
and, holding aloft the report andia great
mass of papers, he said, in calm tones:
"Mr. Speaker: I desire to present the
conference report on the tariff bill."
Salvos of applause from the Repub
lican side greeted this announcement,
effort w as made to secure an agree
ment for a vote.
Bailey said the minority desired three
days, but knowing they could not ob
tain them, would be satisfied with two.
Dingley refused to agree to this, say
ing: "Talk at this time is very expen
sive. It costs the treasury $100,000 a
day."
"Not so expensive as the ten days you
spent in arranging this meeting schedule
with the sugar trust," retorted! Bailey,
amid a counter round of applause by his
followers.
Dingley, in reply, pointed out that
never before in legislative history had
a tariff bill been in conference so brief
a time. The McKinley bill hadr been In
conference two weekß, "and our friend*)
on the other side," saidi he, addressing
the Democrats, "ia UM were in confer*
