Uji United States onaw Mccook, at Dawson, in a letter w me state department. The Tanana District, he sayg, is creating a stir and uiviaing Honors with the Kyoknk vuuu.ry. in the Tanana region the miners claim they can get 10 to 80 cents- worth of pay dirt to the pan. uu wus in summer digging, with only w wjree leet to bedrock, Is eijuiva- i pan where one has 25 feet to bedrock. "The great necessity now in Alaska. " avai i" I si . v. vuuui aicooic, -is good roads, good camps and tham-nnnaf Hn ,n paratively unknown sections." Oreat dissatisfaction was expressed at Dawson City this spring after the wash up, he says, by miners who woiked for men who had leaned mining claims from the owners. The lay mes sign contracts to work so many feet of the claim during the season, to receive CO per cent of the gold coming out of the claims, and the Ii.a,. 0ri .i,... all men working the proptry will be . ipiuyeu unaer a written contract by which they promise not to hold the in any way liable for their wages it lum tnma.l I.. 1 . u Hi " ' UU" unuureusoi cases that the cost of working the claims has mikbu more tiian 50 per cent of the otrt F" tne lessees' snare. Thus the men wupioyea on the claims have been de I'y veu 01. their wages. Lay meD on rich claims, says Consul McCook, can do very well, but the majority of the 7 "" "noi ue worked on this basis at the current rate of wages. K. C. 8enkel, gold commissioner of "nun territory, has information that Canada is to introduce radical reforms ! aiom ike.

Bradstreet'a says: Trade couditiona itill favor the buyer; general fall -demand, though fair in view of the mid summer condition, is still telow expec tations, and below a year ago; bank clearing are at the lowest for two years pat, and failures are slightly more numerous, though no marked ten dencies are perceptible. On th nther hand, gross railway earnings hold their percentage of gain previously shown. and where prices are made low enough to sa:ify buyers, a heavy business is uncovered, and readily booked, noint. ing to demand being still present and waiting disposal. The crop situation. as a whole, is better; the outlook as to corn is lor a 2,100,000,000-bushel viuy. rpriuz wneat is tnrninu nut bettor in quality and quantity than ex pected, aud there has been an unnnnn. tionable improvement in cotton crop conditions. The yield of apples will be the largest in many years, and fruits generally are yielding liberally and commanding good prices. The iron and steel industry furniul the most notable example of reduced prices, inducing a heavv l,usinp while the outlook is still a coufunea one. The cereals are all lower this week, partly on better crop reports, partly on lower cables, but largely on the growth of bearish feeling after the late reaction. i?eef products are generally higher on army demand, while tin is seeking a lower level fn sympathy with foreign markets and increasd supplies. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week, aggregate 8.327,003 bushels, against 2,300,743 bushels last week. From July 1 to date this wheat exports are 14.568.869 buHhl against J8.S08.96 bushels last season. Business failnres for the week nnm. ber 170, as against 183 last week. PACIFIC PEST OF THE FARMER. THE I.iieky yuem Hill. A rich strike has just been made by Corliss & Rush, on Lucky Queen hill, about 10 miles from Grant's Pass, Or. It is on the Double Kagle claim, which was. purchased last year for a very low figure. Thestiikeisin the nature of a very rich seam, one to two inches 'thick, with a body of quartz on either Hide.

A depth of 400 feet has been .attained and levels are being run 450 ,850 and 800 feet in depth. An uprise from Ihe 450 to the 850-foot level is being driven ' for air. A contract has been let to sink a prospect shaft 800 feet south of all previous workings. As work progresses, large ore bodies are being exposed, and there is ore enouirb in sight for a 10-stamp mill for years to come.
