MIKES AND MINING
Americans An Not gatlafle With the
Alaska-Canadian Survey Lose '
Goes' Territory.
Skagway, Alaska, July 80. The
work of "delimiting the provisional
boundary tn the disputed Alaska-Canadian
territory having been completed
in that part crossing the Dalton trail
and touching the Porcupine district,
the Americans in the district find that
they have lost a large part of what
they Iwlieved was rightfully American
territory. The survey has been run
and the monuments set within the
last few weeks by O. H. Tittinan, of
Washington, D. C, and W. F. King,
of Ottawa, and assistant, who have
simply followed instructions as set
forth in the modus vivendi agreed to
provisionally some months ago by Sec
retary Hay, on the part of the United
States, and the British representatives,
after the adjournment ot the joint high
commission.
The survey and detnarkation of the
line leaves nearly one-half ot the Por
cupine gold mines in the British terri
tory, and it has been the general opin
ion for a long time that the mines in
fact, the entire Porcupine district
was on the American side. Math ot
the Dalton toll road leading to Porcu
pine city now lies within Canadian ter
ritory also; that is, ia on the Canadian
side of the iron monuments set on the
provisional line.
The American miners in the Porcu
pine having watched the development
of the work of delimiting and marking
the boundary, were so aroused over the
result of so much miuing district being
left on the Britsh Bide that they were
not long in addressing a protest to
President McKinley. Copies of the
protest have been sent to the chambers
of commerce of Seattle, Skagway, San
Francisco and Portland, with a request
for co-operation.
The commission will be in the vicin
ity ef Skagway a month, delimiting
the provisional line on White Pass and
Cbilkoot Pass. The Porcupine placet
mines, it is estimated, will yield 250,
000 this year. Work of sluicing, by
dranlicking and other kinds of mining
is carried on in the district. .
Plaror Mine Excitement.
Jnnean has a full fledged placer mine
excitement, according to advices
brought from the north by the steamer
Bosalie. When the vessel sailed from
the north Jnly 18, a stampede was on
to a new placer diggings on Glacier bay,
about 150 miles distant. Some donbt
existed as to the placers really being
new discoveries. 'ot a few believe
them to be the diggings found and oper
ated many yeara ago by the Russians.
In any event the finds are most promis
ing. It is claimed for then that an
experienced miner can make consider-
bly more than wages, rslly 200 peo
ple, it ia estimated, had gene from Jn
nean alone to the scene ot the new ois-
coveries. The bars in tne mourn oi
Glacier bay all are said to contain gold.
Advices From Nome.
Advices from Nome received by the
Alaska Commercial Company at au
Francisco state that up to July 10 there
had been 19 cases ot smallpox in the
camp, only one being reported since
July 5. St. Michael has established a
strict quarantine against Nome.
According to the records ol the cus
tom-house, 114 vessels have entered
Nome and 13,437 passengers have land
ed, not including those who cam? down
the Yukon river, nor those who lauded
from vessels which did not report to
the customs officers. '
It is estimated that from 6,000 to
10,000 persons will winter at Nome.
Idl Mines Picking tjp.
The Phoenix mine in Greenwood
Gulch, one-half mile above the Golden
Eagle, and opposite the Don Joan, near
Sumpter, Or., is being operated by C
Chatham and William Banders, who
have a two years' lease from the own
ers, C. M. Berry, D. L. Cboate, L. M.
Barnett and C. M. Collier. The -nine
has been idle for nearly four years, and
the K-stamp mill and concentrator put
in liV O. B. Hardy are wreck. The
mill was run only a short time, owing
to bad management, and, though the
property could have been sold for f 75,-
000, it was allowed to stand idle, the
owners failing to agree on the method
of operating. There Is several hundred
feet of tunnels, but these will not be
used, the new operators preferring to
sink and follow the ore. The ore is ol
two grades, one carrying' black oxide
ot coDoer and the other running well
in free gold. '
Rattlesnake" Jones is the name ol
a Boise man who engages in capturing
the reptiles and selling them to the
Chinese. The Celestials take each rat
tler and put it into bottle of w hisky
and let it stand for two years. What
remains of the snake is then removed
and the balance is let stand until it
clarifies, which process requires five
years. The liquid is then sovereign
cure for rheumatism, says the Boise
Statesman. The Chinese claim that it
ill cure the most violent case. It
takes seven years in all to make the
preparation ready for use.

KEYNOTE OF THE TRADE.
The lapmvad Crap CandltUas ar the
Great faelara.
Bradstreet's says: improved crop
conditions furnish the keynote ot the
trade and price movement. As re
sult ot theai nearly all staple agricul
tural products aie lower in price, nd
at the same time a perceptible livening
np of demand for fall delivery is noted
in the West, Northwest and South.
The beginning of fall trade la conse
quently more dearly visible in the sec
tions mentioned, while at the Kast
the markets are slow to experience this
improvement and are consequently rea
sonably dull. Bank clearings as yet
fail to reflect any perceptible Improve
ment in distribution, and railway earn
ings, though of large volume, are, ow
ing to comparisons being made witn
exceptionally good results last year,
showing less notable increases both tn
gross and net returns.
Hog product have cone lower with
corn, as has also wheat, in which con
tinued liquidation has been noted, with
the result ot inducing partial returns ol
the export inqniry banished from the
markets by the recent heavy rise.

and wages are correct. Soft coal ia

WBOR STRIKES OF HISTORY.

the
Kirat to Inaugural Tbeoa.
It is often asserted tbst the lubor
itrike as such does not duts back fur
ther than Capt. Boycon, lu the early
part of the century. As a matter ot
fact tbe earliest strike dales back to
tbout 1450 B. C, or upward of thirty
three centuries ago. Pharaoh was
building a new temple of Thebes. Tbe
masons received very little cash, but a
quantity of provlslous, which the con
tractors thought sufficient, was uauded
to them on the first of each month.
Sufficient or not, they mostly ate It be
fore the time had elapsed. On one oc
casion many of them had nothing left
quite early In the , month, so they
marched to the contractor's house, be
fore which they squatted and refused
to budge until justice was done. The
contractor persuaded them to lay their
distress before Pharaoh, who was
tbout to visit the works, and he gave
them a handsome supply of corn, and
io all went well for that month.
But the same state of things recurred
by the middle of tho next and for some
iays tbe men struck work. Various
inferences took place, but the men
declined to do a stroke until they were
riven another supply of food. They
aeclared the clerks cheated them, used
false weights and so forth, familiar
enough complaints In this country un
der the truck systenn. The contractor
not complying with their demands,
they marched to the governor of the
city to lay their grievances before him,
nd he tried to get them to return to
work by smooth words, but that was
do use and they Insisted on having
food. At last, to get rid of thetn. he
drew up an order for corn on the public
granary and tbe strike was at an eud.

risters, and attorneys or solicitors, Tbe
counsellors or barristers, as these terms
Imply, confine themselves to the actual
trial and argument of cases In open
court, and to consultations with attor
neys or solicitors who represent the
clients. It Is contrary to professional
etiquette for a barrister to confer or
consult directly with bis client The
attorneys, or solicitors, as they are all
now styled, see tbe client take his
statement gather tbe facts, and put It
all down In writing In what la called
"the brief." The brief Is then handed
by the solicitor to the barrister, with
his retaining fee, and thereupon tbe
barrister and solicitor confer; the bar
rister gives bis advice and opinion, and
If tbe case goes to trial he does all the
work In court, such as examining and
cross-examining witnesses, and argu
Ing or summing np the case before the
court or jury. Tbe solicitor does not
speak In court at all.

There are 4,000,000 deities, 300,000 tern

beartlessness of the gods.
Oldest Manufacturing Industry.
Tbe oldest manufacturing luduxtry In
Great Britain Is that of flints and flint
locks, which has been carried on sloes
the beginning of the fifteenth century,
If not farther back still, at tbe Ling
beath mines, Brandon, on tbe borderi
of Norfolk and Suffolk. The flints art
all made by band, being placed on ths
operator's knee and chipped with
hammer to tbe proper shape. Of
course, a number of these flints an
nsed for fire-making, being principally
used In countries like Spain and Italy,
where the duties on ordinary matchei
and wax matches are to high as to con
