City of Topeka arrived from the north
bringing excursionists and about
thirty men from Skuguay, who came
down because they were afraid they
could not gft over the passes tills win

to come back, and the men who came
over that there will be tunny more in
the next few weeks. No change In

Mr. J. Metcalf, of Detroit, Mich.,
who came down from St. Michaels on
the Colman, states that ho saw a man
wash 912.60 from one pan of sawdust
which ho took from the Moor of a bar
room in Dawson City. It Is 6aid to
be a common practice for miners to
open gold dust bags and take out a

Seattle, Aug. 17. The bchooner
Fred E. Sander arrived at Port Town
send, thirty-two days from St. Mich
aels, this afternoon bound for Seattle.
Among hcr passengers were Joseph
Low. mayor of Circle City; Harry
Ash, wcll-kuown among the sport
log.iocn on the Pacific coast, and
JobnS. Dinsmore. Each brings a
small quantity of gold dust. Mr. Low
was chosen mayor of Circle City by
unanimous wish of the people.
Said he:
"One can see a wash tub full of nug
gets at any time in Dawson. AtS.
Michaels there were 2,500 tons of
freight piled up when we came down.
In my opinion not more than 23 per
cent of those bound for Dawson by
tho river will be able to get through
before next year. I look for the boats
to become bhjekadad by Ice, as was the
case lor eight months last year."
Dinsmore said: "There have been
no big elein-ups since the last of June
and the first of July. They have-had
very little rain and this preyentedwork
from being pushed. I estimate that
the Portland will not bringdown more
than $400,003 or possibly $500,000.
There is plenty of work for all those
who can get there this fall at $15 a
day, because the holders Of rich claims
are desirous of getting out the gold as
fast possible.
Ash intends to winter here. lie
adyises all people to stay out this win
ter unless they already have mines.
He has interests in c'ght properties,
and says that the Hunter district it
one of the richest. The Dominion
and Victoria gulch districts are also
nearly, or quite, as ric'.i as the Eldor
ado and Bonanzo. Mr. Ash predicts
that at least $3,000,000 will come out
in the spring at the first clean up.
The Yukoners are of the opinion
that the value of the gold cargo of the
Portland will be $750,0C0. They
explain that, while the product of the
Yukon basin has been large, a great
deal of dust has been reinvested and
Is held for development work on prop
erties. There has been a lively specu
lation among the miners, many of
whom have not stopped to estimate
the value of their holdings. Ash has
alx claims and, like his associates in
In the Klonklke. has reinvested all
all his cold except enough to live on
comfortably during the year. Follow
ing Is a list of the Sander's passengers
direct from Dawson City, together
with the amounts they brought:
James.McNamee, Juneau, $10,000.
Charles Vest, Portland, $6,000.
Joe Lowe, Juneau, $15,000.
Harry Ash, $10,000.
J. S. Dinsmore, Eureka, Cat., $8,000,
she was $09,000 in Klondike gold
ahead of what she possessed yesterday,
which was only $11. She had been
employed for two years" prior to last
Saturday at the Home of II. n. Noble
at Lake Washington. At tho time
Miss Svenson went Into the employ of
the Nobles she had accumulated
about $1,000, with which she staked
a countryman and sent him to Alaska.
Although she heard nothing from
her nun, she showed no signs of an
xiety over tho $1,000 she staked on
luck, though It represented probably
ten years of hard Baylngs.
About a year after the man left, his
alster arrived from the old country In
poor health, and the kind-hearted ser
vant scraped together enongh to carry
the Invalid through a long Illness and
pay funeral expenses. lAbout six
months ago the Nobles noticed that
Mary was not so attentive to her du
ties, but, haying been for so lung a
faithful s-ervantjthey tolerated agcod
deal rather than part with her. They
finally decided to let her go and hist
Saturday she was discharged, with
only $11 in hor pockoU
At this Juncture a letter arrTvcdby

saying that he had struck It rich, her
share being about $09,000, and'that ho
was on his wav home.
. The man's name Is not known, but
Ills claim Is No. II In the Klondike
district, which has been reported one
of the richest In the region. He states
that ho will send up his brother to

nERMOSiLLO, Sonora, Mexico, Aug.
20. When the Mlnas Prietas train
pulled Into La Colorada last Friday,
It was with a maniac engineer named
Everett In thclocomotlvo cab. The
terrified fireman had managed to se
cure control of the throttle, and had
fought away the engineer when he
would have speeded the train to des
truction. Foiled in this Everett began to
climb frantically about the engine
and tender, finishing up with a quick
succesison of homcrsalts on the floor
of the englno cab.
When La Colorada Was reached
Engineer Everett was raving wild,
and considerable force had to be used
to remove him from the cab. He
died shortly after. The attending
physician stated that death and in
sanity were due to heart disease
superinduced by excessive heat.
When it Is an accepted fact, with
advanced scientists, that one In eycry
four persons has a week or diseased
heart; tho thought Is uncomfortable

emergency, some physical or mental
overstrain may icause death or I nsan I ty

ran the total day's business up to 880,-
000 bushels.
A tip had been given out that corn
was good for n big raise in the next
few weeks, and tho Investment-buying
on this and other Intlucnccs was a
feature of the daj. Many of the big
gest operators are now hi corn. Word
came from Chicago that the corn ring
would not hold the traders who wero
trying to execute orders.
The country Is Interestes In tho
predicted boom, and bought freely to
day. When wheat sold off in the af
ternoon, corn broke loose from its
high priced companion, and had a
little bugle on Its own hook.
The day's news was exceptionally
bullish. Nebraska and Kansas com
plained or drought; Iowa ha? suf

that frot ctrlior than September 10
would do Immense damage. The

Hillsboro, Or., Aug. 27. The out
look for a large yield of hops In this
county is not so good, as hardest ap
proaches, as was expected. While tho
mold and vermin have done some
damage, blight will also cut short the
yield in a number of yards. Picking
will begin In some yards on Monday,
but will not qecome general until tho
following Wednesday. Growers have
pickers engaged at 30 cents for a nine
bushel box, while thoso picking by
weight are to pay 05 cents for 100
pounds. A number of hop pickers
have signed a call for a public meet
ing, to beheld hereon Saturday, to
mako an united demand for higher
prices for picking, owing, as tho call
states, to n better prospect for tho
prlco of hops.

that four gunboats belonging to the
Anglo-Egyptian expedition for the re
conquest of the Soudan have already
passed tho fourth cataract of the Nile
beyond Merawi, and that tho passage
was effected much more easily than
had been expected. Ono of them has
reached Abu IIamld,now tho extreme

The fruit interests of the Willamette
valley have a bright future If wo may
Judge from tho success that Is attend
ing this year's shipments. About fifty
car loads havo been shipped from Sa
lem alono thus far this season, and
there arc two fruit shipping compan
ies in this city handling the fruit,
whoso shipments average one car each
per day, and from which good returns
are being realized.
Tho O. F. & P. company, which bad
the contract for picking, packing and
shipping the Wallaco pear crop, fin
ished packing that crop last night.
Tho output of Bartlctt pears from this
orchard this season has been 4,800
boxes, and It Is estimated that they
will average $1 a box net. Better
prices generally are being realized this
ycar,and more attention Is being given
to the matter of packing.
Owing to tho demands of eastern
wholesale houses for proper packing
and handling of -tho fruit, to insure
ready sales and reasonable profit,
Manager J. M. Kyle, of tho O. F. &
P. C, this year engaged a dozen ex
perienced California pickers to look
after the packing of his company's
fruit. A Journal writer called at tho
O. F. & P. Co's packing house this
morning and found a sceno of great
activity. It is remarkable with what
rapidity thoso packers prepare tho
fruit for shipment.
Returns from car No. 8,001, consist
ing of pears exclusively show that
this deleclous Oregon product retailed
at $2.10 per box at Montrea', Canada.
They wero the celebrated "R. S. W."
brand. Mr. Kyle claims that the
price realized from tho car was ft
made possible by tho caro that was
exercised In the packing and ship
ment ot the fruit. Returns are dally
expected from cars numbering 8530
and 071, that wero shipped on tho
13th Inst.
Tho branch house of this company
at Albany, Is doing a big business.
Some very fine fruit Is being re
ceived dally and It was necessary to
send two 'additional packers to Al
bany this morning to assist In hand
ling the fruit there.
Tho Bartlctt or early pear crop
having been about disposed of, tho
company will now devote Itsattentlon
to the Mountain Bartlctts, Silver,
Hungarian and Italian prunes. -at

Thursday evening's Albany Demo
crat has the following regarding O.
F. & P. Co's. shipments from that,
point:
"Tho Oregon Fruit and Produce Co.
sent out their llrst car load of fruit
last night from Albany. It consisted
of 270 boxes of pears and 400 crates of
prunes. This fruit has to bo packed
right In order to command the best
price, und this Is being done. A good
price will bo a great stlmulous to the
Industry In this country."
