canal be constructed. bu> there would be a
ship canal connecting Lrt&e Michigan, the

THE CHINESE EMPIRE
Great Britain and Japan Taking Steps
to Checkmate Russia
LONDON, Aug. 4.—A dispatch from Pe
king to a local newspaper agency says:
Efforts are being made by the British
colony at New Chang, in conjunction with
the Japanese, to obtain concessions for the
neighborhood as a proposed railroad ter
minus. The matter has been referred to
the local tatutai (the ruler of two or more
departments of a province united into a
tau), whose dllatorlness in the matter ;s
said to be duo to Russian bribes.
It is Impossible to over-estimate the Im
portance of obtaining a proper footing In a
region where already Russian influence pre
ponderates.
A great proportion of the New Chang
trade is in American goods, and this fact
renders the co-operation of the United
States minister and his support of the Brit
ish demand necessary, as the gravity of the
situation is undoubted.
Letters have been received from leading
British merchants in Nortli China confirm
ing the reports of uneasiness prevailing
among the Chinese, who regard the issue
between Russia and England as likely to
decide the future of China.
The imperial decree was issued today es
tablishing n central bureau of mining and
railway administration, under the presi
dency of two cabinet ministers.

OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
Klondikers Who Failed to Find For-
tunes —In Siberian Mines
ST. MICHAEL, Alaska. Juiy 21. viu Vic
toria, B. c, Aug. 4.-X. w. Beaaley, ex-
County Assessor of. Miles City, Montana,
and lyouis B. Pltehet of Sun Francisco have
3USI returned from a prospecting tour along
the Siberian and Alaska coust in the vi
cinity of Bering Straits, embracing a pe
riod of nearly fourteen months. They trav
ersed over 800 miles of shore line In the vi
cinity "t East Cape, Siberia, and penetrat
ed Into the interior 200 miles. They were
within 100 miles of the convict mine settle
ment where they met a Russian commis
sion! r, who warned them to leave the coun
try under penalty of imprisonment. The
offloer told them the laws strictly prohib
ited prospecting on Russian soil. Six men.
four Englishmen and two Americans, who
persisted in violating the law ln ISM were
arrested ar.d sentenced to a term of Im
prisonment In the Siberian mines. Beas
ley made diligent inquiry, but was unable
to obtain any information as to the identity
of the imprisoned men or the particulars
of their trial.
The commissioner, In explaining the
mantle r of working the Siberian mines, said
that shafts 00 or 70 feet were sunk to bed
tock and the pay streak was followed by
drifting. Instead of burning the frozen
ground, as in the Klondike, the ground is
loosened with powder and pick. One shuft
lias followed the pay streak down the bed
of an old river to a depth of 700 feet below
the surface. Most of the claims, he added,
paid from IS to 20 rubles to the man. Be
tween 7000 and 8000 convicts are employed
in the mines. After prospecting all sum
mer, finding splendid surface prospects,
Beasley and his companions returned io
East Capo. The country is rugged and wild
and devoid of timber, oil being used ex
clusively for fuel.
The prospectors crossed the straits to
Kotzebue Sound and Golovin districts. It)
the former place they met a well-equipped
party of 55 men of the whaling fleet, which
was wintering at Point Barrow. They had
thoroughly prospected Ihe Nootek and Koo
tok rivers, as wed as other streams emp
tying Into Kotzebue Sound. They found
nothing but Hour gold and nothing worth
staking.
Beasley met several old Montana pros
pectors with whom he was personally ac
quainted, who told him that after having
prospected the creeks pretty thoroughly
they were convinced that gold In paying
quantities did not exist and were returning
to the States.
Beasley's party then proceeded to the
Golovln district and visited the scenes of
nil the reported diggings, but did not find
any claims producing more than one cent
to the pan. On Ophlr Creek they prospect
ed twenty-six claims, including Discovery
claim. Not a panful of gravel was found
with more than a few colors. This last in
formation is verified by numerous other
disgusted prospectors, who arc returning
to the States.
Beasley concluded by making the em
phatic declaration repeatedly that there
had not been an ounce of gold mined nut
of Norton or Kotzebue Sound, cither last
season or this season.

Elected

Information has been received here from
London through private channels to the
effect that the Indian mints are to be re
opened to free coinage, and the assertion
Is made that this will occur at an unex
pectedly early date.
Tho report of the Indian Commission is
to be published before the first of Septem
ber, ami this Is expected to throw some
light upon the details of the matter.
The announcement that the important
step of reopening the mints will take place
comes from a source which is usually re
liable. There is a strong effort to have the
ratio changed from 16 to 1 to 22 to 1. and it
is asserted thnt a willingness to assent to
this change has been evinced by both the
United States and France.
Tho establishment of a ratio of 22 to 1
would havo the effect of Increasing the
present price of sliver, but It would, on the
other hand, probably prevent forever the
restoration of tho ratio of lfi to 1.
There is some disposition to doubt the ac
curacy of the Information, but this doubt
appears t>o nrlso largely from the fact that
It Is unexpected.
A BAD YEAR
State Board of Equalization Sees a
Loss of Millions
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 4.—Ths state
board of equalisation will be at work dur
ing the remainder of the week comparing
assessors' figures of this year with those
of last. So far it Is found that there has
been a general falling off of values except
In mountain counties, these latter having,
as a rule, slightly Increased their rolls.
This is accounted for by the fact that In
the mountain counties there hus been a
considerable development of mines, while
In the valley counties there lias been a
shrinkage In values due to the protracted
drought, which caused a shortage of crops.
The Indications are thut the roll this
year will fall many millions of dollars be
low that of last year. This Ir estimated
on the basis of the assessors' reports, near
ly all of which have been received.
Of the auditors" reports, but a few have
as yot come to hand, and it is not likely
that the hoard will be able to determine
before the middle of next week what coun
ties. If any. It will cite to show cause why
their rolls should not be raised.
