FINDING MORE GOLD
Repeated discoveries of gold ail
through the Yentna district, are re
)K»rted with porsisteiice and regularity
and many of iItem c»>me from men *>f
Known credibility. It seems probable
hat before the end of -ummer the
o'oakers who Knock every enterprise
until it achieve- -uece— beyond all
p<* rad vent ure will be eom|K‘llei. in a
it tie while to direct their oismal fore*
■* dings and prophecies of evil at -ome
new mark.
All through the winter and spring
: his town has been assured by men
who never we tv north of the Inlet that
there is nothing in the Yentna dis
trict. The-e are the same men who
haw been stopping work on tin* rail
road every month. They have been
reinforced occasionally by men who
went a little way into the new district
uni became disgusted Ueau-e they did
net ilnd gold nugget- as big a- their
-j. ecus lying on top of the ground.
That has been the history of every!
■ <uan/a district in Alaska. 1 he l'ana
: was knocked for two years after it
a - discovered. Nome was announced
ii be “all in"* after the tirst season.
Scores of experienced prospectors
have been in the Yentna district for
months and have made the -tune re-!
r; that colors can Ik* found on
e.ery creek. It would he something;
new under the sun to tind -o extensive
u disjHM -ion of gold near the -urface
With entire absence of rich deposits.'
Ir - also true that the richest diggings
;irv almost never found the tirst year
■ \ any district.
Last year a dozen men took out from 1
ftl i to iCfU a day on one creek. Re
ports of richer discoveries this year
are already coming in although high
water ha- prevented work until re- 1
cently. except on -mall creek- where) '
the flood- -oon subside. With some of
: hese report- have come samples of the
nf tal. And not the least convincing I
evidence is the fact that of the lnm- '
tired- who have gone in since .January 1
not one in twenty ha- come out with a •
“knock.** while those who remain
va rite letter- of the most contident des
cription.
The Alaska (’oast Company could .
nuke a hit witJi port- on the Southern
coast by allowing the steamer Bertha
to pick up all the mail along the route, i
--.no** the Northwf-tern Steamship |
< otnpany withdrew from the inside (
pa-sage the Portland is the only mail
v Miner on the run. On this trip -he |
v.-i iglit paper- from Southeastern
\: a month old. The Alaska Coast
night a- well divide this a- to save it
ali for one boat inasmuch a- the com
pany has to carry it all anyway.
,? a> Great Britain gagged on
Xmerican canned meat the discovery
a a> made that vat> in British eannet
s are used as bathtubs for employes,
that bread pans are used to launder
a. clothes and that dishes used in
jelly factories are washed in water
which is changed once a week and be
comes almost as thick as jelly before it
is changed. Under the circumstances
• here seems to be no choice for John
Bull but feed on grass like Nebuchad
nezzar.
The heart of Raineses the Great of
Egypt was recently found in a vase in
his tomb. The gentleman died more
than 3000 years ago and the embalmed
organ was so hard that it coultl only
Ik* cut with a saw. John D. Rocke
feller still lives, without a heart but
with a gizzard still harder than the
.■mbalmed heart of the Egyptian king.
Russell Sage was "strictly business”
nil the time and he never gave up
much in charity, but he never stole
anything, never watered stock or
tloated fake schemes bv false pretenses,
in all of which particulars he differed
from Rockefeller. Rogers and Morgan.
If Mr. Hearst runs for governor of
New York on an independent ticket
he is liable to make the situation as
awkward for the old parties as he did
when he ran for mayor of New York
as the candidate of the independent
league. William has the rabble and
the serai-social is tie vote corralled.
it is announced from Seattle that
Joe Gans intends to draw the col
or line in his fighting exercises here
after. Joe is of a light yellow hue and
the shade of lamp black is becoming
offensive to him.
In this Dreyfus redivivus there ap-J
(tears no utterance from Gen. Paty du j
<’laiu. He closed up a long time ago
when the prosecution was placed in
the pillory.
WHERE MENDACITY THRIVES
In Alaska mendacity appears to have
reached sublimation. A veteran liar
from Montana, Spokane or Seattle
finds himself in the amateurclass when
he sets up in business under the auro
ra borealis. The clever playwright
who produced "The Liars" could am
plify its picturesque exaggerations
after a seasou in this northern land.
Whether tin1 causes of this devotion
to hyperbole are physical or psychical,
whether they are of climatic or social
origin is uncertain. One fact only is
beyund dispute either the chemical
competition of the ozone or isolation
from the luxuries of ci .'ilization breed.t
a microbe of invention which multi*
pi jet lik twamp mosquitoes and
ahidet as a perpetual uuisance.
Thit malady n: ‘abrieation runs the
jratuut of local interett. from minin'? to
tteam'eoat operation. It l.\rums the
public tympanum with reports of
steamer n.ovemcntt of which the cable
tape never bore a record, railroad
plans born ot e< tvbral trymnattics. and
_yohi ilitcover. ■' staled in feverish
dreamt.
The pa> tree of Alaska fiction will
in time diffuse a deadly blight through
the atmosphere of truth that will rele
gate the Arabian Nights, the Decam
eron and the adventures of Munchau
ten to the ancient almanac class.
l’ho names of the military celebri
ties of Russia who are busily condemn
ing to death or the yalleys every com
mander who lost a battle in the late
war are not deemed of sufficient im
portance to receive press mention.
This destroys their only chance to
break into history as they probably
never tiyured in a battle themselves.
The Russian revolution i- getting
elo-e to headquarters when terrorists
can paste death warnings on the walls
of the imperial palace with a cordon of
soldiers standing shoulder to shoulder
around it.
Mrs. Leslie Garter is married again,
this true to an actor named William
L. Payne. If he is willing to take
chances on that red head ami the pre

' no reason why anybody else should

Too Hot to Lay Track
It is reported from Southern Cali
fornia that Mexican laborers engaged
in laying track have refused to Avork,
because of the intense heat, the steel
rails actually blistering their calloused
hands. No complaint Avas made as to
Avages, but the men declared they
Avould not continue AA-ork during the
heated term, at any price. During
construction of the Southern f’acific
railroad in the vicinity of Yuma, in
the early ’80s. most of the rails were
laid at night, Avhen the temperature
was a few degrees cooler than during
the day. In summer in some portions
of the desert region, the rocks became
too hot to touch or to Avalk upon, and
it is not uncommon for them to retain
this high temperature, from 110 de
grees to 130 degrees, throughout the
night.—Mining and Scientific Press.

SAGE MILLIONS !
I LEFT TO WIDOW
Entire Fortune of $60,000,000
Given To Her by Will of
Noted Financier.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
New York. 27 Mis. Russo!! Sage is
made sole legatee of the fortune of
$00,000,000 left by her late husband,
under the terms of t iie will which was
opened today. A host of collateral
relatives will attack the testament of
the dead milionaire upon the ground
that he was of unsound mind and was
unduly influenced by liL wife.
On account of the enormous amount
at stake it is expected that a strong
light will be made, although it is ad
mitted that tile collateral relatives
are at a great disadvantage through
the fact that the fortune was left to
the nearest of kin of the devisee. It j
will not be so easy for them to set the
will aside as it is tot* a near relative
who lias been passed by in favor of one
more remote.
The estate consists mainly of stocks,
bonds and other valuable securities,
although it includes also much valu
able realty.
Russell Sage Dead
New York. July 22 Russell Sage
died this morning in his summer home
at Lawrence, Long Island, of heart
disease. He was ill only a few hours.
He would have been 00 years old next
month. Hi> death had no effect upon
stock values on the Kxehange today.j
He dealt only in conservative paper.
He is supposed to have left an estate of
$100,000.0*H).
Lager for Sage Hillions
New York. July 2'» Hundreds of
relatives of the late Russell Sage are
impatiently waiting the opening of hi>
will. If it is unsatisfactory to them (
they will tight in the courts for a
share of the e>tate. The widow is pre
paring to resist any attack on the will.
Famine in Aluminum
The world is suffering at present i
from an aluminum famine, according j,
to a report to the department of eom-1
mem* and labor. There are at pres
ent but three sources of supply an j
I
American company operating at Niag
ara Falls, a British company at the |
Falls of Foyer, and the NYuhausen
works in Switzerland. There has been ]
a rapid increase in the use of the
metal with the sudden expansion of j
the automobile trade, and the market
price of ingots is nominally $*50 a ton, j
or $200 more than last July. But this
quotation is purely nominal, because (
there is none of the metal to be had. | (
The conditions in the United States
were aggravated bv a strike, and when (
the American contractors tried to
cover in the English and European
markets, they found there was none of
the metal to be had. ,
Flowers at Rampart
The first snows of last September !
caught the pansy bed at the experi
ment station in full bloom. This
spring when the snow disappeared the
plants were found green and fresh
looking, with buds and half-open blos
soms showing in their natural purples
and yellows. A week later the buds '
began to open up. The blossoms,
though a trifle smaller than normal,
are perfect in color and shape, and
show no evidence of their eight months ,
hibernation. This is especially re
markable in view of the fact that the
! past winter was the coldest ever re
corded on the Yukon. Readers will
remember that the record for the first 1
twenty-three days in January showed
an average minimum of more than 30
degrees below zero.—Rarapart News.

ing year. The largest number of im
migrants came from Southern Italy,
the number being 222,606. The He
brews were second, with 125,000. The
immigrants brought with them a total
of $19,000,000. Of the total, 888,543
were aliens, an increase of 24,564 over
the number received at this station
during the year ending June 30, 11K)5.
My Position
’•Millionaires who laugh are rare.”
Andrew Carnegie.
Now Andrew says that men of means
are seldom known to laugh:
It’s hard for them to cacchinate when
other fellows chaff.
They never double up and yell when
at the minstrel show
At jokes that made the Romans howl
two thousand years ago.
It does seem hard to go through life
without a chance to roar,
And all because you’ve gathered up a
million bones or more.
But still I’m frank to tell you this: If
I had lots of tin
I think I could forego the laugh and
be content to grin.
TRAIN PLUNGES
