Bros., of this plncc, while getting out
cordwowl at a point on Granito creek,
about two miles west of town, near

gets. Ono is worth $20. Tho men
immediately abhdoncd work on tho
wood contract, and, selecting a spot
close to tho water's edge, sunk a hole
about four feet square to tho depth of
three feet, at which depth thoy wero
on top of a decomposed bed rock, and
in tho course of this small amount of
work, which took but a few hours,
they had taken out nearly $100 in
coarso gold. Thoy did not try to save
tha fine gold, simply confining their
attcntloifto tho largo nuggets.
Tho men wero greatly excited when
Smith brothers appeared on tho scene,
and endeavored to get their assistanco
in staking somo claims, but the men
could not bo induced to leave tho joy
ful task of picking out the yellow
chunks thoy only having taken timo
enough to stako ono claim. Smith
brothers staked two claims above.
Great excitement prevailed through
out tho town. There have been many
reports of tho finds on Granito creek
herb in tho past, ami colors can bo
obtained anywhro on tho creek, but
nothing like tho present striko has
over been miido in this section. Two
hundred citizens left town tonight for
the'sccno of the strike, and many
claims will bo staked by daylight.

that vicinity, and Sunday Inst thoy
killed an American. Tlio band some
times represented themselves as
American deserters and at other times
as American soldiers. One of their
number wore tho uniform of a cap
tain. Since tho main declared object of
tho Fedo alists peace and An tvicau
sovereignty is nearly accomplished,
tho party's futu e Is Is ug discussed.
Under the coming government to be
composed of appointive olUciuls there
will bo slight use for party activity
outside of tho municipal elections.
Tho leaders hopo the party will bo
considered us the semiofficial medium
between tlio government and the

Against American.

ern Alaska uro much exercised over
tho small pox scare, and aro making
strong cft'orts to counteract tho efi'ect
of it on travel to Lynn canal and way
ports, A public meeting under the
auspices of tho chamber of commerce
at Juneau, was held with u view to
taking uotion to have the quarantine
removed by tho government. This
meeting, Cuptuin Hunter says, was
in progress when tha Dirigo sailed
from Ja ieuu. Tha complaint that if
being cried aloud thorughout South
eastern Aluska ports is that the small
pox scare not only injures passenger
travel and business in general, but
that it hus the efi'ect of seriously dis
criminating against American com
mercial interests for tho reason that
there is no quarantine against Cana
dian ships from Victoria and Van
couver. These ships run buck and
forth without emburrussmeut or quar
antine restrictions of any sort,

did not know there had been an ox

as Possible.
Sun Francisco, May 17. Owing to
thu very serious character of Mrs,
MoKinloy's illness, thu president has
definitely decided to abandon his con
templated noitlnvoHtcm tour and to

of her periods of depression, and with
a few days of absolute quiet and rest

But her present illness hus been at
tended with entirely now complica
tions which huvo not yielded to treat
ment, and tho president has conclud
ed that it was timo tlio public should

was also anxious that thu citizens of
tho cities and towns along the
planned route of his return trip, who
huvo mado such extensive prepara
tions for his visit, should recelvo
prompt notification of tho circum
stances which compelled his decision.
Tho strain which tho president him

Ix'en a ersoual sacrifice for him to
try to carry out his engagements hero
in order not to disupnoint tho eople,
but ho has mado it unselfishly and
nobly, and it is still his desire to
curry out tlio prearranged programme
in Sun Francisco to whatever extent
he can.
