The steamer Geo. E. Starr, called at Union having on board a number of return ing Klnndlkers, one man having $10, 000. He is from Seattle, but his name Is not obtainable. Four Victorians have between them $25,000. They only went (n last May, and will return immediately. In a letter from Montreal. Arthur Belllngham, of the Britisn Yukon Compar.y, who goes to London, says his company will start td work on the railroad from Skaguay Bay to the head-waters of the Yukon Imme diately, and have It completed in 1899, Seattle, Aug. 21. With 7,000,000 tons of ore In sight the largo Tread well mine on Douglas Island. Alaska, is soon to have the largest stamp mill In the world. It has been decided to double the capacity of the plant, mak ing the number of stamps 300. The next largest mill in size, located in South Africa, has 280 stamps. The Trcadwell will mine Its product at a cost of $1 per ton, and will produce $120,000 per month. Railroad to Dawson. San Francisco, Aug. 21. The spec ial correspondent of the Bulletin, writing from Juneau, Alaska, under date of August 11, eays that railroad oninniiinh'.illon between Juneau and Dawson will be one of the things of the near future. Next spring 5,0C0 nten will be at work night and day, and a road will probably be completed befnie next fall. The proposed-toad Is to start from the head of naviga tion on the Taku river, to Lake Tes lin. Light draft steamboats will bo operated from each end of the new road, and it will take four days to make the journey from Juneau to Dawson. Tbero is a surveying party In the field, consisting of W. A Pratt, of Wilmington, Del.;T.C. Jennay.P. I.Packard, the promoter of. the road, and A. E. Johnson, his assistant. Another road is being surveyed to start from Skaguay bay, crossing the White pass. This road will bo. built by an English company. While the rush to the Klondlko seems to be abating somewhat, it is believed that If Ithe Portland comes down Thnrsday, next week, the day she Is due, with much gold, the ex citement will be opened up again and several more thousands will rush north this fall, regardless of conse quences. Thus far this week 544 pros pectors have left Seattle for the North 222 on the numboldt, 145 on the Al-Kl, 00 on the Farallon and 87 on the City of Kingston, The Rostllc Is duo from the north Sunday, and t?111 leave again for Dyea on Tuesday. Another Trip. Port Townsend, Aug. 21. The steamer Al-Kl got away with 250 pas sengers and 300- head of live stock. One hundred tons of freight for Juneau merchants were left here. Among the Al-KI's passengers were Messrs. Thompson and Remington, who go north as a representative of a Montana live 6tock syndicate. They will leave the steamer at Fort Wrangel, and attempt to locate a new trail to the Yukon country, by way of the Stfckeen river valley, When the trail is located a large force of men will bo put to work to carve out and construct a good road over which cattle and sheep can be driven and stages operated. j, r. aicuormicK, oi uw xunt, wus a passenger on the Al-Kl with an out. fit for the construction of a cable road Dyea over the pass to Lake Llndeman He says tho cable road will be In op eration la twenty-five days after ar riving at Dyea.

Alaska Letter. The following lcttc'r received by County Clerk Montague today from a very rcaliable source, Mr. Ostrandcr, the writer, being president of Tho Alaska Investment Co.,. and will be read with Interest. 1 Juneau, A'aska, A'ug. 13, 1897. Hon. C. B. Montague Albany, Or. Dear Sir and Bro. Your favor of tho 28th is received Youaskmcto give you as authentic information as I can in relation to the 'Klondike," country. Wcll.whero shall I commence. Thecoait papers and especially the Seattle P. I., have published columns setting forth and describing the marvelous riches of the Klondike and other tributaries of tho Yukon. The published reports do not, In any respect, cxaggregate tho facts, Indeed, tho mlncrs.wrlting. from that country say that the true conditions cannot bo well exaggerated by pen or tongue. lam just in re ceipt of a letter from a former banker of the state of Washington, urging mo to go Into that section as soon as possible, ne has been there for sev eral months and is as enthusiastic as any In his opinion of the extent and great richness of the great valley. Of course wc cannot now state how extensive is this rich deposit of gold but it Is generally thought that ltcx tends for hundreds of miles up and down tho river. "Wo hear of new "strikes" in Stewart River and points between that and Klondike River. Tho latest "finds" being as good or better than those In Bonanza creek. There are now several thousand men at Dyea and Skaguay awaiting for their time to come over the trail to the lakes and headwaters of the river. Many havo succeeded in get ting over. I am verymuch afraid, however, that a very largo number of those still at Dyea and Skaguay will be unable to get to the Yukon before spring. The steamer Willamette passed here yesterday morning with over a thousand men, and reported that pas sage had been engaged for several more shiploads. I would not advise anyone to try to get In this full, unless they have good pack horses and start once. There Is danger of floating ice after September 15. I may go In the spring, but not be fore. Wo have a large and very pro ductive quartz country surrounding Juneau. John Y. Ostranoer. RAPISTS HELD. Two In Lane County. One at Coburg ana One at Cottage Grove.

Holt.of Coburg, for tho orluic of rape, alleged to have been com mitted 'In his own house on Ills own daughter, Ad'i nolt, aged 14 years, was concluded last evening at a late hour.

The other members of tho family, Mrs. nolt and two daughters testified in behalf or the husband and father. Mrs. Holt testifying that she was up all night (the night tho crlmo was alleged to have taken place) with a sick child and that the defendant was with her and that tho crime could not have occurred. The testi mony by the family olso showed that the girl was unruly and hard to con trol,and that she had been threatened with Incarceration in the stato reform school by her father. Justice of the Peace Drury held tho defendant In $750 bonds to awaltthe action of tho next grand Jury, which lie has furnished. The community is much wrought up over the affair, and the popular feeling Is strong against Holt. Another Fiend. Cottage Grove, Aug. 21. Frank Reld was arrested for assault to com mit rape on Lora B.

The correspond ent of the Chronicle, in a letter from Cuba, tells of further cruelty and dis tress in tho island. He says tho pacllicos arc dying by the hundreds, until their bodies taint the air close to a Spanish forte. Tho correspond ent remarks that a private letter lus been received at Havana from Scnor Sagasta, the liberal leader In Spain, In which he says. "The atrocities arc ralsl.ig a thrill of horror In Europe, and 1 fear It is impossible to raise u fresh loan, without which we cannot retain Cuba. The correspondent further says: "German syndicates are buying the devasted estates at nominal sums and Intend to go In extensively for coffee planting, abandoning sugar. This will directly concern tho United States and French sugar trusts, and will probably lead to extensive sugar growing in Georgia ana Florida." Prisoner Released. Washington, Aug. 21.

The na tional executive board of tho United Mlneworkers adjourned, after Issuing the call for tho meeting of organized labor to be held in St. Louis, August 30. The board rejected the proposi tion of the Pittsburg operators for a conference to arbitrate the wage dls- pute In Chat district, claiming that such action was prejudicial to tho in tsrests of the miners at larg. The board will not deviate from the established policy untlll tho result of the St. Louis conference Is known. The work lu the field will be contin ued and efforts to spread the strike In West Virginia will bo renewed. The successor failure of tho strike hangs on tho result of tho conference, the call for which Is indorsed by Samuel Goaipers, of the American Feder ation, and J. 11. Sovereign, of tho Knights of Labor. They maintain th t the light now b3ing waged by the miners Is one of common Interest to common labor throughout the country and at the St.Louls conference all lubor organiza tion will be asked to Join Issues with tho miners. They will try to secure a general suspension Jn WestVlrglnia, where operations -havo greatly lntc: fercd with tho strike, as coal supplied from that district Is meeting the limited demand, and the only hope of cutting off this supply appears to bo In tho refusal of organized labor in ordinary channols of trafflo to trans; port coal. , .
