Return.
Poet Townbbnd, Sept 24. The steamer
Pioneer, which left the Sound Septem
ber 12th with the bark Shirley m tow
for Skaguay, returned at 1 o'clock thie
morning, having made the run down in
ninety-six hoars.
"' The Pioneer brings down a story of a
enow or landslide between Sheep-Camp
and Chilkoot pass laBt Sunday morning,
in which eighteen men are supposed to
have lost their lives ; only one body had
. been found, that of a man named
Choyneki, cousin to Joe Choynski, the
: prizefighter. The fifteen or eighteen
men supposed to be lost were packers on
the Dyea tiail, and they had upwards of
" $30,000 in their possession.
There are many here who do not be
lieve the story, as it is very early in
the season for snow slides. Officers of
the Pioneer say the story was brought to
Skagnay Sunday evening by. three men
who told it in such a thrilling manner
as to leave no donbt of its truthfulness.
. They described the avalanche as con
sisting of rocks, ice and dirt, the mass
having been loosened by the recent un
precedented bard rain which has been
falling continually for the past month.
All the bridges on the Skagnay river
have been washed out, and the river is a
raging torrent. t
W. W. Sprague, of Tacoma, who
started eight weeks ago with a three
years' outfit, returned from Skagnay on
the Pioneer.
The steamer Al-Ki, a week overdue
from Alaska, arrived this morning at 4
o'clock. She carried a Urge list of men
returning from Skagnay, who were un
able to cross the pass. The snow is six
inches deep at Lake Bennett, and three
inches fell on the summit of Chilkoot
pass last Saturday.
' THE STORY CORROBORATED.
Captain Keilson Bay a Slide Occurred
at Sheep Camp.
Poet Townsend, Wash.. Sept. 24.
Captain Neilson, master of the tug Pio
neer, which arrived this morning from
Skaguay, corroborates the story of the
snowslide, or more appropriately, land
elide,, in the neighborhood of Sheep
Camp. Captain Neilsen says :
-."Three men came to Skaguay beach
Sunday night with a story that at Sheep
Camp that morning.at 3 :30 o'clock a pe-
culiar sound from the southwest side of
' the mountain was beard, and before the
" residents of the camp could fully dress
they found themselves being rapidly
borne down the canyon on a mass of
moving debris from the mountain side.
- The majority of the residents of Sheep
' Camp escaped, although the entire town
. was almost wholly destroyed. '
"The slide struck the town in the
' northern part, where nearly all the pack
ers were quartered tents and sleeping
the Bleep of hard, overworked men.
The main part of the slide from the
mountain missed Sheep Camp proper,
- although from the report very little of
. the town remains. Packers' .'camp was
wholly carried away, and it is impos
sible to learn the full names of the un-
- fortunates, as they were - all - known by
'surnames, such as Jack, Jim, Dick,
"etc : '' - ' . '.-'-
"The cause of the slide was-reported
. to be the action of heavy rains on the
hills where a sort of " reservoir was
j. formed, which body of water forced the
.. land down Into the basin below. Never
r -before have such, heavy" rains.' been ex-
perienced by the Indiana in. .the5 neigh
borhood of Chilkoot pass." "
W; W. .Sprague, of Tacoma, returning
from " Skaguay pass, verifies the above
'- report.'- ; ' .'-' :

- Throoghnt yesterday : evening Sister
Agnes and a number of other Sisters of
Charity, together with ! help from the
hospital, bad been putting the, building
in order for the reception of yellow
fever patients.
At nightfall Surgeon Bloom, of the
hospital, the sisters and others had been
warned that they bad better leave the
building. They did so, and made their
way through a dense crowd of panic
stricken citizens. Then a small force of
police was ordered to the scene. While
the police were .engaged in attempting
to quell the riotous crowd in front of the
building, two iapendianea with a five'
gallon can bf oil proceeded to the rear of
the bnildinz and quickly bad it in
flames.
' An alarm was turned in, but the first
neighboring engine had scarcely arrived
when the hose was cut.- When other
engines arrived their hose was also de
stroved by the mob. Chief Gaster
finally arrived with a squad of officers,
which beat the n.ob back.
MO SIGNS OF ABATEMENT.
Largest Number of Fever Patients lt
ported In New Orleans.
Nkw Obxbaks. Sept. 25. In some re
spects today was a record-breaker,
There were more new cases reported to
the board of health than on any previous
day, and a number of new foci of infec
tion were established. The death list,
however, was not heavy. Only two
cases have proved fatal during the day.
Several cases tonight were reported crit
ical, and it Is possible that other deaths
may follow during the night. At 6
o'clock tonight the board reported 18
new cases and two deaths.
There was one sensation at least today.
Four cases were reported in one house.
They were in the Eatz family, on South
Basin street. The members had been ill
several days, but the physician in charge
had. not taken the pains to notify the
board of health. In this house a father
and three of his children are ill. Wheth
er or not there are other instances in the
city where physicians have failed to re
port cases is unknown, but the failure of
the doctor to report the Katz cases has
aroused mnch indignation.
The weather continues cool here. The
cool weather is dangerous in cases of
those who are ill, and physicians think
it is increasing the death rate.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
A Son of Prof. W. B. Neal, of Arlington,
shoots Himself at Long- Creek.
Arlington, Sept. 25. The sad intel
ligence has just reached this city by
telephone that Prof. W. R. Xeal'a son.
aged about 19 years, accidently shot
himself last Wednesday in the Long
Creek country. Prof. Neal is principle
of the public school here, and recently
came to Arlington from Goldendale.
With his family he will go by way of
Heppner to the scene of the accident
and arrange for the funeral.
Working; to Bare Their Wheat. "
Colfax, Wash.,' Sept. 25. Wheat
dropped today to 65 cents sacked in the
warehouse. There is absolutely none
selling and no shipments are being made
except a few cars contracted some time
ago. A great deal of wheat is coming to
town, but- it is being stored for higher
prices. Farmers are holding for 75 cents,
and it is doubtful if much wheat will
be sold for less, as they can borrow all
the money necessary to pay harvest
expenses.
The weather continues perfect. A few
days of cloudy weather this risk fright
ened farmers,' and they are working al
most night and day. The vast amoant
of grain, estimated by some at 2,000,000
bushels, has been saved during the past
week. In many places en tire crops have
been harvested. A number of teams
are needed to move the remainder of the
crop. '. ;:i

WHATCOM GOLD MINES
First Authentic News of the
New Eldorado.
PLENTY OF YELLOW METAL THERE
Konte Is Passable to a Point Five Miles
From Discoveries, Where Great
Obstacles Are Met.
Seattle, Sept. 25. The first authen
tic news concerning Washington's- new
Eldorado, near Mt. Baker, and bow to
get there, witb all intermediate details,
was bronght to Seattle yesterday by E.
W. Saportaa, president of the Informa
tion & Registration Company, who,
with Frank Crydo and Gfta Wagner, ex
perienced miners of Dawson' City, the
former having been in the Klondike five
years, left for the scene of the latest ex
citement last Saturday morning.
According to Mr, Saportaa the route
is passable, and not very difficult until
the investigator is within five miles of
the promised land, but the laBt five
miles present obstacles that would for
ever discourage anyone who was not an
experienced prospector and mountain
eer. There is in Mount Baker and its sur
rounding heights enough gold, says Mr.
Saportaa, to keep prospectors busy tor
the next ten years. All the stories of
the fabulous discoveries are corrobor
ated. In samples of Are that were
brought back bf the informant, Mr.
Bogardus, the assayer, by a cursory in
spection declared that free gold exiBted
in exceedingly good quantities.
i'l met many men," Mr. Saportaa
aid, "who came from Mount Tomohoy
('Tomboy'), and they', all reiterated the
stories that . have been told concerning
the great strike of $10,900 . to the ton
made in Bear mountain.'' Among them
waa a man named Leitb, who has a great
claim.- Post and Lambert's claim is on
the east aide.' In the Tomohoy, Steiner,
Brooke and others have found ore equal
to the discovery in Bear mountain A
man named Johnson and several ethers,
have been there two weeks and! still re
main, lbcatyig more ' claims." . East of
these mountains is Silicia creek, along
which, my people tell me, is placer gold.
There ia enough yellow metal there to
occupy prospectors the next ten years. '
' "There are 300 people on the moun
tains now, and I met sixty more going
in when I was returning. I believe the
mineral is as rich as has been reported,
but I cannot know definitely about it
nntil my friends ; return. My advice is

not to go in now, as the rain and rough
weather are great obstacles to successful
prospecting."
A special correspondent of the Even
ing times sends more from Somas today,
as follows :
"The gold discoveries in the moun
tains of Whatcom county are, beyond
any doubt, the richest in the annals of
the Pacific coast, or even in Alaska. So
say the most experienced prospectors
whom I have just accompanied to the
scene of the recent finds.
"The recent finds are in the Bald
monntains, situated in the northeast
portion of Whatcom county, northward
and east of Mount Baker. The mineral
range runs northwest and southeast, and
today is located for three miles. Every
hill in the immediate vicinity of the
finds is covered, witb location stakes.
At present there are 350 prospectors in
the field, running from experienced
men to office boys, who have forsaken
their employment to try their luck in
the new fields.
. "The vein in the five claims Lone
Jack, Jennie, Sidney, Lulu and Whist
varies from three to five feet in thick
ness. It runs northwest and southeast,
and under a layer of porphyry, in a ser
pentine manner, and auriferous shale
appears in the ledge. It is free-milling
quartz of Bugar and rose color, carrying
copper and silver. The vein can . be
traced half a . mile. The cropping is
under solid porphyry.
"TbVgold ia known as 'wire gold,' and
can be seen without trouble by the
naked eye and picked out with the finger
nails. That there is great quantities of
it there, no one who has seen the ledge
can doubt.
"Xbe formation of the range in which
the finds are located denotes it to be
very rich. However,' it 'is ' no place for
a "tenderfoot. If there is any placer
mining, it baa not yet been demonstrat
ed to be" a paying proposition. Tender
feet cannot go where' the rich claims are
to be found without the gravest' danger
of losing their lives.; ; I went over places,
in company with .prospectors, that all
the gold in the range' could not ' hire me
to d over again. - As td'whether ' it is
advisable for men to go to the new ' finds
at present, opinions of the prospectors
differ. Those who have been. there the
longest say it ia safe for from "one to two
months yet. ' One .thing niuBt be borne
in mind that all claims' In the imme
diate vicinity of the great finds have
been taken." 'Newsmen must go farther
oi.' I would not advise anyone to go on
until next spring. ;

located ia aa rugged aa call be imagined.
It will take enormous sums to develop
it." ; ; " " .; :

SEDITION tIN THE 1AIR
Republics on the. Eve of an
Upheaval.
SUCCESS OF REBELS INEVITABLE
Costa Kloa and Nicaragua Menace Each
Otlier Revolt ' Imminent In
Honduras. "'" '
. New York, Sept. 27. A Herald dis
patch from Washington eays:
The Central American republics, ac
cording to pan-American diplomata in
Washington are undoubtedly on the eve
of a general upheaval. .The success of
the revolutionists in Guatemala,' attain
ing the downfall'of Barrios and the ele
vation of Prosper Morales to the presi
dency, is believed to be inevitable, and
ia likely to, of itself, bring about a revo
lution in several of the republics. '
The imprisonment of the Costa Rican
consul-general, Don Ednardo Beech, by
'the Nicaraguan authorities is regarded
as a serious breach of international
courtesy that can hardly prevent a rup
ture. " The seeds of sedition are easily sown'
in Honduras, and the uneasiness in that
country seems likely to develop into
open revolt against President Bonilla,
as an indirect result of the revolution
in Guatemala. , Salvador' alone of the
Spanish-American states at' present ap
pears quiet and likely to remain bo, -
A successful revolution in either of the
republics comprising the greater republic
of Central American would mean the
dissolution of the feeble diplomatic bonds
which now unite them, and from present
conditions a coalition-of this nature
might be difficult to bring about.
A pan-American diplomat who is thor
oughly familiar with the Central Amer
ican situation, said :
"There seems every probability that
the revolutionists in Guatemala will be
masters of the government in a short
time, and that Barrios will be forced to
leave the country, .if he is not assas
sinated. One of tbjf strongest and most
efficient supporters of the Guatemala
revolution is General Domingo Vaequez,
who ia now in Chiguinal'a, where Barrioa
is. Vaequez about four years ago was
president of Honduras, but was driven
trooi that country. He would like to
regain the presidency of Honduras, and
should Morales be made president of
Guatemala through bis aid, plots will be
formed for - the downfall of President
Bonilla.
"Vasquez aa president of Honduras
would be dangerous to to peace of
Nicaragua. His hatred of Zelaya would
easily find a pretext for starting afresh
the letter's opponents, who, with aid
from Honduras and Guatemala, would
probably be able to defeat Zelaya and
elevate bis rival, Alejandro CbammOrro,
to the presidency.- These results, I be
lieve, are almost sure to follow a revo
lutionary victory in Guatemala."
Dr. Horatio Guzman, formerly min
ister to the United States from Nicar
agua, said: ' ' '
"Under present conditions it ia im
possible to prevent recurring revolutions
in Central America. I havet long advo
cated the establishment of a protecto
rate of the United States over Nicaragua
and the- other states, if not actual an
nexation, and in this view. I am sup
ported by a majority of the educated and
moneyed classes of the Central Amer
ican states, I see no other means of in
suring the benefits ' of a , peaceful
republican government to Spanish
America."
