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

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

In the field, consisting of W. A Pratt,
of Wilmington, Del.;T.C. Jennay.P.
I.Packard, the promoter of. the road,

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

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.

CUBA,
Buying Some Island .Estates,
Germans Will Go In for Coffee
Planting.
London, Aug. 21. The correspond
ent of the Chronicle, in a letter from
Cuba, tells of further cruelty and dis
tress in tho island. He says tho

Sagasta, the liberal leader In Spain, In

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

growing in Georgia ana Florida."

MARKET.
Wheat Is Still On the Advance News
of the Crop.
New York, Aug.21. Now that the
bulls have accomplished their wishes,
of carrying wheat to $1 a bushel, they
arc as far as eyer from being satisfied,
and claim that tho wave of bull sen
timent, which has spread llko wildfire
all over the country, will carry tho
prlco hero to at least $1 25 per bushel
and perhaps higher.
That dollar wheat Is already a thing
of the past was demonstrated on the
curb, vhen clamorous demands from
high strung local shorts, raised tho
price to $1,001, or aceut per bushel ad
vance from tho official close. About
50,000 bushels of wheat changed hands
at $1.
The English market was up in the
air keeping free pace with our ad
vances. Their closing prices were top
for the day, 34d higher thah last
night. The French market on tho
other hand, held back, and there was
practically no response in other mar
kots. Private cables credited tho
English advance to rainy weather and
exciting covering by shorts.
San Francisco, Aug. 21. Intense
excitement prevails In tho local wheat
market, and options advanced with
gnjat leaps. December opened at
$1.00, receded for a moment and
closed at $1.G0J. After a call there
was an advance to $1,001. An hour
later it rose to $1.03, but at 11:30 there
were large scales to secure proilts, and
prices had a sharp decline. May
opened at $1.00 and closed at $1,012.
This afternoon December sold at$1.04,
and closed at $1,031, whllo May
opened at $1.02 and closed at $1.01.

New York, Aug. 21. There was a
sharp recovery In the prlco of Silver,
bar silver opening in London at 24id,

It Is folly to build upon a poor foun

STRIKE,
The Plans of the Coal Miners,
They Base Their Hope on a Sympa
thetic Strike.
Columuus, O., 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. , .
