San Francisco, July 2-f. Recent ad
vices from Peru, which have been con
firmed by C. de Miranda, a petroleum
magnate now in thrs city, state that the
wonderfully rich strikes reported from
the Clondyke region have been totally
eclipsed by fabulous discoveries of gold
'in the South American republic. In an
interview today Mr. Miranda said there
no longer seemed to be any doubt that
the famous Inca gold fields, which have
been considered as myths among the in
telligent people of Peru, have at last
been discovered. The location of the
newly discovered bonanza is in the de
partments of Snzco and Puna, in the
eastern border of the" country, which
have long been famous for their richness
in precious metals. Among the success
ful prospecsors in the new fields is a
Californian named, riardison, wno left
San Francisco two years ago in search of
petroleum and penetrated into the in
terior. In June last he took out of one
of his many claims 279 pounds of gold,
and many Englishmen are reported to
have been equally lucky.

Rich Excursionists and Poor Miners
Mingle on the lecks.
Port Townsexd, Wash., July 2-Lc-It
was a much-mixed crowd which thronged
the decks of the steamer Queen when she
sailed at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
for Alaska. Leaning over the rail be
tween Philadelphia bankers and Boston
school mar ms of the "touch-me-not" var
iety, was a hardy miner, wearing over
alls, woolen blouse and sombrero, and
destined to the rich fields of the Clon
dyke. Of the 420 passengers on the
steamer 210 were booked for Dyea. from
whence they will take up the line of
march to the mines. The remainder are
principally members of the Raymond
Whitcomb excursion and are from the
East. Several prospective miners ar
rived this morning on the steamer Wal
la Walla from San Francisco and took
passage on the Queen.
The fact that the Canadian govern
ment has sent customs officers to levy
trioute on goods taken to the Clondyke
is causing much worry to many wh in
vested their last dollar in tickets and
provisions. On an average, an outfit
costs from $200 to $250. Customs will
be from $60 to $75.
The British vice-consul of this place
gives it as his opinion that where the
miner is only supplied for personal use
and not for sale, no duty will be charged.
He thinks duty will only be collected on
goods taken in for speculative purposes.
SECRETARY- SHKKMAN TALKS.
Discusses the Canadian Alien ,La and
the Behring Sea Matter.
New Yobk, July 24. Secretary of
State John Sherman is at the Fifth Av
enue hotel. He will leave at once for
Amagansett, Long Island, where he will
rest for several weeks. The secretary
was asked what he thought of the report
that the Canadian government proposed
to enforce the alien law against Ameri
cans flocking to the Clondyke. v
- "I do not know," said the secretary.
"We have an alien law of our own. We
have never enforced it against gold m in-

ers. Canadian citizens have been free
to mine for gold in the United States on
the same terms as our citizens. There
has never beeu any friction over the mat
ter, and I do not anticipate any serious
I trouble with our Canadian neighbors on
that score.
"Where a man has taken up a land
claim for the purpose of residence and
cultivation we have always insisted that
he be a citizen. Thesame has . beep
! done under the Canadian government.
Where a man has simply prospected for
gold with the intention of digging in the
ground a little way and taking what he
could find, he has never been interfered
with on our side of the border. I do not
think the Canadian government will
change that course of procedure. If they
do it may lead. to fully as much embar
rassment to them as to our miners.
. "From the meagre reports already re
ceived it looks as if there might be as
much gold on our side of the Alaskan
line as on theirs."
Asked about the Behring sea incident
he laughed and said :
"The letters published in the English
papers, together with their headlines,
are being too readily recieved as, the sen
timent of the nation. The English gov
ernment has made no 'response to the'
letter received by Minister Hay in re
gard to the Behring sea matter, and its
foreign office has said nothing of a bel
ligerent nature. England has fully as
much, if not more, at stake in the seal
trade as we, have.' London is the center
of the fur trade of the world, net only in
the buying and selling of furs, but in
their dressing and preparation for the
market. Theso matters will be fairly ad
justed and that without trouble. Amer
ica has contended and believes she is
right in her contention that something
must be done and done at once or the
seal race will soon be extinct in Alaskan
waters.'
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, IW,
"Cheif," says : "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, bat never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other -rem
edy can take its place in our home, as
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are urged on you as
just. as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

THE WESTERN MINERS.
Largs Offer for a Shadowy Claim. -
Indian Mineral Springs, Ind., via
Attica, Ind., July 24. A. B. Shanz,
secretary of the Sterling Remedy' Com
pany, who is interested in W.J. Arkell's
claims in the Clondyke gold fields in
Alaska, was today offered $50,000" for his
interest in the claims by Harry P. Clark,
of Pittsburg. Mr. Clark is a brother-in-law
of the Arkells and will accompany
Bar tlett-Arkells to the gold fields to
claim the Glave and Shanz locations of
1890 and 1891. It seems that Mr. Clark
wants to acquire a share in the ' claims
for himself sons to push them in his
own interest. At the Attica offices of
the Sterling Remedy Company, it is
stated that Mr. Shanz will not accept
Clark's offer, believing there is a great
deal more money in it if the Arkell
claims are substantiated.
Reported 'That They 'Will Follow the
Lead and Strike,
Little Rock, Ark., July 24.; The Ga
zette today prints the following :
"Everything indicates, that Western
"miners will go out in sympathy with
their Eastern brethren. Their local
meetings, their conference held a few
days ago at Pittsbnrg, Kan.', and .the
presence of a number of Eastern delega
tions on the ground are sufficient proof
that the step is contemplated, and that
it may occur August 1. The action of
the Western railroads also shows that
they are expecting it.' They are - storing
all the coal they can get. Should such
a 'step be taken, it will eeriously inter
fere with the business of the country,
and especially -with the marketing of
principal products of the West' now
ready for market wheat- and cattle.
It may bo averted, but it does not seem
possible, unless r the demands of the
Western miners are complied with."
Kaauni Will Mot Strike.
Pittsbubg, Kan., July 24. Kansas
coalminers in convention here today by
a decided majority decided not to etrike
in sympathy with their Eastern breth
ren. '
Besides taking the above action, the
meeting decided to demand the enforce
ment of the semimonthly pay, a proper
and final adjustment of the quality and
price of powder, and the placing of a

the district.
General Strike Called.
Columbus, O., July 24. Fred Blicher,
of the national ' executive board, wires
from Thurmond, W. Va., to national
headquarters, that at a mass meeting at
Somonell, last night, the miners adopted
a resolution calling for a general ' strike
July 26. They ask for a 50-cent-rate
per ton, and no settlement until it is
made national.

NURSING SENTIMENT.
The French Cultivate the Love of Val
orous Deeds.
Sentiment is a thing- of the heart, an
instinct rather than judg-ment. Thi
French nurse it by that which pxcites
the affections and imagination. Dur
ing one of the wars between France
and liug-land a French ofKeer blew up
his ship to'provent it& being- taken. He
and the erew all perished.
The French government 'recognized
the officer's heroism by entering the
name of his sister, his only surviving
relative, in the place in the navy list
which his name had occupied, and here
it remained till her death, says Youth's
Companion.
Napoleon Bonaparte conferred upon
La Tour d'Auvergne the title of "First,
Grenadier of the French Army." He
had declined promotion to the col
onelcy of a regiment, because it would
separate him from his brave grena
diers, but he was not insensible to the
distinction which the epithet made ap
parent. When he was killed in battlt
the emperor ordered that his name
should be called at every roll all of th
grenadiers, . and that the sergeant
should answer: "Died on the field . of
honor!"
