A BOOM ON THE COAST
Present Conditions a Kemin
der of the Days of '49.
THE KLONDIKE RUSH CAUSES IT
Seattle Newspaper Man's Views Thirty
Millions in Gold Expected From
Alaska Next Year.
Chicago, Aug. 19. C. M. Nettleton,
of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, who is
visiting in Chicago, says the conditions
on the Pacific coast remind the old set
tlers ot the palmy days of California in
1849. He has a number of specimens of
Klondike gold.
"I believe, said Mr. Nettleton, "that
without question, $30,000,000 of the yel
metal will be taken from Alaska next
year, and it is confidently believed that
the steamer Portland, which is due to
arrive in Seattle on August 25th, will
bring $3,000,000 in nuggets and dust.
"One peculiar thing is that the miners
upon landing, seldom are willing to tell
the truth in reference to their success.
Nearly all of them expect to return, and
for this reason ao not give the facts as to
the amount of gold they have in their
possession. I asked one miner how
much gold he had secured. He replied
that he had $3000 or $4000, when the
truth was he had about $112,003 worth
with him. Their idea seema to be that
if they underestimate the amount of
gold thev had found, it will have a tend
ency to keep other people out.
"Only about forty square miles of ter
ritory have been thoroughly prospected,
whereas there are hundreds of square
miles of territory which it is believed
contain gold in large quantities. The
surroundings are the same as those of
the ground which has been gone over
and the conditions are the same. Never
theless, people should not attempt to go
to the gold fields this season, but should
postpone their trip until next spring,
when conditions will be more favorable
to travel and prospecting."
CO-OrEKAlION CAUSED TROUBLE
Gold Hunters Quarreled at Skaguay
Over Unloading Goods.
Seattle, Wash., Aug. 19. Next Fri
day the steamer Queen leaves for St.
Michaels with lumber. The A. S. Kerry
Lumber Company sends the frame and
lumber all fitted to build a hotel there
to accommodate 150 people. The Queen
will reach there in three weeks.
Deputy Sheriff Calderhead has a letter
from ex-Deputy Adam Baker, dated
Skaguay, August 7. He complains of
the hardship of getting freight from the
ship to land. He went on the Rosalie.
The passengers formed a company to un
load. Trouble ensued by one man as
suming to boss. The miners drew guns
and then took their individual goods
ashore.
The river but a milerom camp is 500
feet wide and swift, and there is con
tinued loss of goods by horses falling in
the current. Packs must be cut away to
save the horses. Several horses were
drowned August 6th and 7th. Tired
men are selling outfits at less than cost.
Thirty men are building a bridge half a
mile up. It is a private snap. All
would be well if the prospectors would
work together.
PREPARING FOR THE DESCENT.
Gold Hunters Building Boats on Lakes
Llnderman and Bennett.
Seattle, Aug. 19. The - Associated
' Press correspondent writes from Lake
Linderman as follows :
Lake Linderman, N. W. T., Aug. 7.
On Lakes Linderman and Bennett are
nearly 500 people actively making prep-

arations and building boats for the des
cent to the Klondike.
The Skaguay trail is open andth? first
contingent reached the Tagish lake on
Tbursday last, numbering 200 people.
The trail is nearly fifty miles long.
Nearly 1000 people are in camp at
Skaguay, and it is expected they will
reach the lakes in ten days. That route
will take nearly all the travel from Dyea
route, except during the winter and
spring months. Boatloads of people are
leaving here and Lake Bennett every
day for the mines.

Details of the Mutiny on the Olive
Packer.
New Yoke, Aug. 19. A dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says :
Telegraphic advices from the Herald's
correspondent in Rio de Janeiro are to
the effect that a vessel of the Atlantic
squadron has picked up and holds at
Bahia John Lend and other members of
the crew of the American schooner Olive
Packer who mutinied at sea. They
murdered the captain, J. W. Whitman,
and the first mate, William Sanders,
after having had trouble. The crime
was committed about 125 miles from
Buenos Ayres.
The six prisoners have made confession
of their part in it, and have attempted
little concealment. They say that after
the murders they Set the vessel on fire
and took to the boats. .The schooner
was laden with lumber and burned very
quickly. The men had rough experi
ences before they were picked up.
The details of the mutiny have . not
been given out yet, but the men say
there had been ill-feeling on the whole
voyage, and the captain arid the second
mate had made strong enemies of all the
members of the crew.
The United States consul will take
charge of the men, and they will
piobably be sent to Boston on .a mer
chant vessel for trial.

THREATS BT KATCHFOKD.
Against the
Strikers Will Retaliate
Operators.
Columbus, O., Aug. 19. The national
executive committee of the miners' as
sociation was called to meet here today.
The board adjourned until 1 p. m. to
await the arrival of absent members.
Being asked to foreshadow the pro
posed action of the board, President
Ratchford said.
"The conservative policy adopted by
our board at the begining mu9t nec
essarily be departed from because of the
extreme radical policy of the other side.
We would much prefer a battle along
peaceable lines, as we have been doing,
but our board will be obliged to adopt
the tactics of the other side and also to
take steps to extends the fight in other
fields. We will have to adopt other
methods to meet the injunctions. We
do not propose to have the injunctions
break up this strike."
Violence In West Virginia.
Columbus, O., Aug. 19. A special dis
patch from Wheeling says unknown par
ties concealed in the brush near the
Cleveland, Loraine & Wheeling track at
Baiton last night, attacked the passing
northbound coal train. As the train
passed the spot a volley of stones was
burled at the trainmen. Firemen Little
was badly hurt. Later another train at
the same place collided with a pile of
empty oil barrels which bad been put on
the track and fastened with a heavy
rail.
The strike situation is decidedly mix
ed in West Virginia today. The news
that the Pittsburg operators have de
cided to resume at all hazards, and re
ports that Dolan and representatives of
tbe operators have asked President
Ratchford to come to Pittsburg with a
view to settling the strike had a de press
influence upon the West Virginia min
ers. In the New River region five mines
were closed yesterday, and in Kanawha
valley but one miner went to work.
California Alines.
Cabbville, Cal., Aug. 18. William
Truax and his partner, an actor named
Dillon, have struck what is said to be
one of the richest ledges that have been
found in this district. The men only ar
rived here about noon on Monday, and
before sundown Truax, who is a miner
recently from Cripple Creek, had found
what will probably mean a fortune for
both.
This latest find is situated on Morri
son creek just below the Graves brothers'
claim and about the Davis placer mine
The two men were up ' at daylight yes
terday . morning, and by noon had
stripped enough to show them a ledge
two feet wide of wonderful richness.
Dillon came from Sacramento, where he
was stopping. He is known on the va
riety stage as a partner of Lynch.
A March at Plum Creek.
Pittsbubg, Bug. 19. The campers at
Plum Creek marched at 5 o'clock this
morning, but kwere stopped by deputy
sheriffs and turned back to their camps.
No strikers were allowed to be on the
road, even though they "were in pairs
and 100 yards apart.
It is reported that about 200 farmers
from Plum Creeks and Wilkins town
ship will make a sympathetic demon
stration today. They will form at New
Texas and march to the strikers' camps
at Plum Creek and Turtle Creek
Speeches will be made by leading
farmers.
Ratchford Calls It A Bluff.
Columbus, O., Aug. 19. A rumor that
certain Pittsburg operators have made
the statement that they intend to re
sume even if Gatling guns have to be
and Pinkerton men employed, is
characterized by President Ratchford as
a "bluff."

Something to Depend On.
Mr, James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking
of Dr. King's New Discovery, says that
last winter his wife was attacked with
LaGrippe, and her case grew so serious
that physicians at Cowden and Pana
could do nothing for her. It seemed to
develop into Hasty Consumption. Hav
ing Dr. King's New Discovery in store,
and selling lots of it, he took a bottle
home, and to the surprise of all she began-
to get better from the first dose, and
half dozen dollar bottles cured her sound
and well. Dr. King's New Discovery
for Consumption, Coughs and Colds is
guaranteed to do this good work. Try
it. Free trial bottles at Blakeley &

With the close of the Presidential Campaign THE TRIBUNE recognizes the
fact that the American people are now anxious to give their attention to home and
business interests. To meet this condition, politics will have far less space and
prominence, until another State or National occasion demands a renewal of the
fight for the principles for which THE TRIBUNE has labored from its inception
to the present dav. and won its greatest victories.
Every possible effort will be put forth, and money freely spent, to make THE
WEEKLY TRIBUNE pre-eminently a National Family Newspaper, interesting,
instructive, entertaining and indispensable to each member of the family.
