One party going on the Willamette I from Tacoma comprised J. W. Slay den, formerly of -the undertaking firm of Slayden & Roberts: Ben Blasher until recently a student In the TacomaColIegc of Dental Surgery; and George Bale. The party has 3,500 pounds of provisions, which they expect will last them 18 months. They will take three horses and three two wheeled carts and feed for the horses. They expect to have the horaes draw the loaded carts over the greater part of the pass, if not all of it. They take 500 pounds of bacon, 000 pounds of Hour, and other provisions in pro portion. They have a bateau six feet wldejand twenty feet long, In which they will make the water journey. The party has provided one luxury In -the way of an eighteen-pound fruit cake which it will cat Christmas day. taken outof the Sunrise City district this summer. On Canyon creek, Mill's creek, Gulch creek, and Bear creek the various mines are working from five to twenty men each at 84 u day, and they arc taking out at least $20 per day to the man. "Simpson with a claim on Mill's creek, has been working six men since May 15, and has been averaging from $00 to $80 per day to the man. The Polly Mining company, whose mine adjoins Simpson's took out 4o,C00 thousand last year, and Is working 18 men this year, who are averaging $20 a day to the man. Wages on the Polly mine are $4 a day and board. "An old pratlcal miner who went to Linn Creek, which had been pros pected time and again by tenderfeet and pronounced valueless, took out $10,000 last fall and Is now working twonty men. There are three or four other claims on Linn creek payiug equally well. "Claims on Gulch creek, which was discovered by Mr, Schuftlcr, were averaging $20 a day to tho man July 4. Claims on Canyon creek arc em ploying from three to twenty men, and are averaging from $3 to $40 a day to the man. "There is one statement that 1 have frequently noticed as made by tenderfeet to the effect that the Rus sians mined all the gold out of tho Crook Inlotidistrlct years ago. This Is not so. I Interviewed an old Rus sian priest, who has been In Alaska sixty years, on this question, and he said ho had never heard of It. Wo have a prosperous community at Sun riseabout 500 population, two gen eral merchandise stores, two saloons and a hotel. It is no country for tenderfeet, or rather for men who ex pect to pick gold up by tho handfuli, but Is a good place for practical, hard working men."

Circle City Deserted. It is ropertcd that the rush to the Clondykc has so depopulated Circle City that the postal authorities are seriously thinking of discontinuing the postoillce theie. This would ser iously cmbarass matters and add still more to tho troubles of the miners In tho matter of hearing from home. Mail carriers, It is understood, receive a dollar for bringing the mall out. At the Pettyjohn yard there Is a fine growth but not us many hops as on the West Slue of tho river. The Dove' yards and the Ilayden yard on the West Side, In fact, all the yards on tho West Side of the river seem to be much worse affected than on the East Side. Mr. Pettyjohn Is of the opinion that tho lice will do no harm If tho weather keeps fair, whllo Mr. Dovo thinks the damage will bo severe regardless of the condition of the weather. Uuclc Ben Ilayden says time only will tell, and that all spec ulation at this time as to results Is a guess. The lice aregctting into the burs where they exist. Foreman Longcor, Ilolmes yards, says if holds good ho damage It is Mr. Beardsloy's considerable damage will be dono no matter what future conditions may be. Many growers are coming to tho opinion that hot weather will not re duce the quantity of lice, as Is bui posed but that the co' il damp nights give them ample oppurtunlty to recover. at the big tho weather will bb done, opinion that $100,000 a Year. An Omaha special says that Edward J. Baldwin, formerly of Omaha, now the Northern Coal company's agent at Dutch Harbor, Alaska, has written his wife at Omaha concerning the great gold strike. Under date of J uly 11 he says: "One man went up two years ago in the steerage of the Ber tha, having barely enough money to pay his passage. He has brought down over $200,000 in dust and nug gets, and says he would not take $1,000,000 for his claims on the Yukon. I saw a trayful of nuggets his wife had picked up on the dump when she went to the mine to call him to his meate The mass weighed fully llfty pounds. Of course this was an ex ceptional case, but no one comes out without what seems a fortune tome. This man had a bottle of course gold and nuggets washed from one panful equal to two shovelfuls of earth that was worth $595." At Cook Inlet. George Hall, a Cook's Inlet miner, who has Just returned to Seattle from the inlet, says In the Times: "1 want to deny the- lies told by somo who say there Is no gold in Cook Inlet. I'll wager that from four to live hundred thousand dollars will be Appointment. Oregon City, Aug. 7. Robert A. Miller yesterday completed his four fours' service as regtstor and the local United States land oflice, throuh his commission was dated In June. Yes terday came a telegram, from Secre tary Bllss,lnstructlng him to turn his ollice over to A. S. Dresser, upon tho presentation of thepropercrcdcntials. Tho appointment of Mr. Dresser is a surprise in political circles, us he had not been Identilied wilh the race for the position. There were so many Clackamas county candidates that It was feared the olllcc would go to another county, though there was lit tle fear that it would be awarded out side the land district, us President Cleveland did when he appointed Col onel Miller. Mr. Dresser came here nine years ago and wus In partnership with T.A. McBrido in the practice of law until EcBrlde went on the bench, and then he was in partnership with Senator Brownell for three years. lie has al ways taken an active part in politics, going on the stump In this mid other counties, and being the first speaker to advocate sound money In this county. Last fall lie was made secre tary of the local McKlnloy club, to rescue it from u Bchlstu that threat ened It, and ho was a hard worker throughout the campaign, making sound money a speciality. lie says, tho uppointment comes to lilin us a 1 complete surprise, as ho had neither formally nor Insormerly applied for the office or taken any steps to obtain it. Probably no appointment could have been made that would have given more general satisfaction. FltOM CHAMPOECI. L.P. Swan, the miller, reports hop lice doing much damage thereabouts, very little spraying Is being done, the Mt tie Eldridge farm being about the only one on which an effort is made to kill tho vcrmlne. Mr. Swan thinks with the best possible results there Is bound to be considerable dam age done tho crop. Eugene Or. Aug. 7. Hops in Lane county will not exceed 50 per cent of lust years yield .nd may fall to 40c. flop lice arc still plentiful. Leading growers' are spraying with good effect, vines which are unsprayed are already about ruined, gencally speaking. Cottage Gkove Or., Aug. 7. The hop louse Is very numerous in this vicinity and feoruc yards will suffer quite -i loss, while others arc In a fair condition and through spraying they have the louse almost In subjection. Dayton, Aug. 7. The last few days have been very disastrous to tho hop lice In this vicinity, and the growers are feeling more Jubilant. Scio. Aug. 7. Hops lice seem to be getting In nearly every yard In the vicinity of Sclo. The only giower that Is endeavoring to stop tho rav. crop Is reported as doing very well, but llttlo if anything doing on con tracts, owing to a stand off between buyers and growers. Advices from Germany do not report any specially new features though tho general opinion Is that crop will be much higher than last year. English ad vices do not indicate any improve' ment In the outlook. From this state tho reports arc somewcat conflicting. In some sections considerable im provement Is said to have taken place In the appearance of tho vine, whllo from other sections the outlook is no better, In fact advices less encourag ing than heretofore. Prices hero arc withheld with Just a trifle mora con fidence, though they still more largely represent holders' views, than actual business. JOURNAL "X-RAYS."

Business Picking Up and Confi dence Returning. New Yonic, Aug. 7. Bradstreets says today: General trade shows the most pro nounced gains this week at Chicago, St. Louis and Galveston. The feel ing if confidence that general busi ness is to Improve In tho early autumn Is marked In theso cities, and. tho purchase of dry gosds, clothing, shoes nnd other staples have Increased heavily and are followed up a disposi tion to move prices up. On tho Pacific coast business Is brisk, tho feature in California being heavy wheat shipments from San Francisco; at Portland largo exports of lumber, and at Seattle and Tucoma active domand for supplies for Alaska and the northwest territory, and for wheat, frultand hops. R Q. Dunn & Co. New Yokk, Aug. 7.-R. G. Dunn & Company's Weekly Review of Trado says today. "Four years ago, in August 1803, tho first Issue of Dunn's Review was Issued with failures in that month amounting to over $50,000,000, while in tho month Just closed tho failures have been $7,117,727, the smallest la any month since 1839. Tho statement of failures by classes of business for July, and for tho forty-six months, shows that in manufacturing tho fail ures have been smallor than in any other month of the entire period; In trading smaller than In any other month, except one, and In many branches of each department smaller than in most months of which records exist. "Pessimists, who pronounced tho reports of gnln fiction and mlsrcp sentations, have grown weary of their dismal views, and begin -to sco tho dawn of better days. Last month was tho first for four years, of h Ulch the yolumo of business, reported by clearing houses, was larger than In tho same month of 1802, and telegraphic dispatches from all parts of the coun try for tho week show a gratifying improvement. This Is partly due to tho largo wheat yield, for which thoro Is a gaod price, though tho crop is probab y not as large, nor prices thus far as high as In 1802.
