RICHES OF KLONDIKE,
Gold-Laden Creeks Line the
River From End to End,
GREATEST STRIKES ARE MADE.
Discovery of Wonderful Ckims on
Eldorado Creek.
MARYVtl.T-TC. Mn.. W. 1.7 tnln.
tercsting letter has been received by
Henry Alexander, of this place, from
ills Slin. R. Ci. Alpviinrlnr ivliri line
been in Dawson City since 1895. The
lucid is;is iui ews:
"1 have been spending most of this
summer at Dawson City, but will
leave shortly for the mines on Bonanza
Creek, where I will remain until
next spring. A new creek was struck
this summer known as Dominion
creek. I located a claim on It in a
very favorable location, There two
discoveries on the creek and my claim
is between them. I held my Davis
creek property this summer. The
ground averaged after I bought It one
ounce, or $17, a day to the man for
shoveling It.
"The excitement of the country is
right here, and as for this Klondike
strike, I would say that It is the big
gest that was ever known. They are
getting as high as $2500 to the pan on
Eldorado creek, and 3000 ounces, or
$51,000, was tarfen out of one claim
alone in about one week's shoveling
at a total cost of perhaps $500. At
that rate there will be at least $4,000.
000 in the claim.
"There are thousands of creeks that
white men have never touched with a
spade. Paying creeks are found from
one end of the great Yukon to the
other. Gold is found in tributaries
almost to St. Michaels.
"There is an order here called the
Yukon Order of Pioneers. Its mem
bers have a regalia which they wear
on occasions. One of the pioneer,
died two or three weeks ago, and dur
ing his sickness, death and burial they
took entire charge of his body. One
of the brother pioneers delivered a
funeral oration.
"There are supposed to be 6000 or
7000 people in the vicinity of Dawson
City.
"The greatest drawback is the gov
ernment. People are taxed outland
ishiy. The first recording fee on a
claim is $15, the next is 8100, and for
seven years following is $100 for each
claim. They even charge stampage
for cutting wood at 25 cents a cord,
which amounts to considerable
where so much is used In thawing the
ground. Even the dead wood on the
ground is charged for at 10 cents a
cord. House logs aro taxed at 8 cents
a log. All goods are subjected to a
revenue tax. which is said to be a re
taliation on ttie United States. It is
estimated the Canadian government
will collect $,000,000 here between
last spring and next,
"There is much complaint because
the United States government is so
slow in determining the course of the
bona fide boundary line. It Is re
ported here that President McKinley
has notified the Canadian government
that a strict account of revenues col
lected iuest be kept until the location
of the boundary line is settled.
"A representative of .the Roth
schilds is here in Dawson City."
Statement of Expert.
San Francisco, Oct. 12. Henry
Rratnobcr, tho ruining expert win is
known throughout tlio United States
finru his connection with the Explor
ation Company of London, has re
turned from tho Klondike. Ills mis
sion was to ascertain if an opportun
ily presented Itself for investment.
lie says: "I find some very good
placer mines, but not as sensational
In their richness as has been supposed
In many cases the claims arc com
paratively poor, although almost any
of them will pay wages. Because one
claim is very rich is no reason why an
adjoining ono should be equally good.
.jOn the contrary, the near neighbor
of a rich claim Is generally not worth
much.
"There aro few summer diggings In
the Klondike; that Is, those that can
be worked by the ordinary sluicing
process. Most of the bedrock is 10 to
15 feet below tho surface, the ground
is frozen solid except 18 inches or two
feet the thaws made. On the whole,
the Klondike may be classed as very
good diggings, that is to say, there is
a good chance for other discoveries
this fall.
"As to quartz mining, I consider It
Impossible at present, owing to the
ditlicultles to be overcome. 1 do not
think there is much danger of star
vation at Dawson."

State Department Will Permit No
Delay in the Matter,
New York, Oct. 13. A special to
the Herald from Washington says:
Instructions to Minister Woodford
are beiug prepared at tho state de
partment for presentation to Spain of
a new demand for immediate pay
ment of the claim for indemnity made
by Samuel Tolon. Tho original do
mand was presented to tho Madrid
government by Mr. Taylor, who has
Just retired from the ofllco of min
ister. He stated in stirring language that
this government would expect Spain
to pay tho Just claim of $50,000 as In
demnity for tlio sufferings Mr. Tolon
had endured. Spain's reply was that
it was under no obligation to pay
Tolon, nnd this has been followed by
a statement which declares the action
of the Spanish olllcers in Cuba was a
governmental measure, and Spain
would be unjust to herself were sho
to Inemnlfy Tolon.
State dcpaitment officials Insist the
claim Is Just nod will continue to pre
sent it.
Tolon was naturalized in New York
in 1878. Ho had a general business In

INJUNCTION
PROGESS
Judges on Government by
That Method.
IS ODIOUS TO THE JUDICIARY
Opinions of Most, Eminent Legal
Authorities.
The great public Interest In tho uso
of Injunctions agalnststrlkcrs In labor
disputes inspired tho Chicago Times
Herald, which has uniformly defended
such writs, to gather and print In its
last Sunday Issuo a remarkably timely
and significant collection of opinions
on thlB question from about 30 judges,
lawyers and laymen who aro especi
ally well known In tho middle west.
Tho questions which tho men were In
vited to answer were as follew:
1. What aro your views on tho
power and practice of courts In Issu
ing Injunctions In labor disputes?
2. How Is such power derived and Is
It misused? 1
3. Do injunction Intcrfero with tho
constitutional guarantee of trial by
jury ?
4. Should congress specially define
and limit the power of courts In Issu
ing Injunctions ?
Broadly speaking, ono finds, on a
porusal of tho answers submitted,
lhat only six unqualifiedly Indorsed
tho recent extension of tho Injunction
power to labor troubles, seven wore,
in tho main, non-committal, whilo 15
wore outspoken In their hostllo criti
cism. The answers cmnnato from so
cialists or politicians In a few cases
and with theso one need not bo con
cerned, yet tho most conservative cit
izens will admit that tho answers
cduiing fromjudges, men now actually
on tho bench, aro deserving of their
consideration, Fifteen judges re
turned ropllcs, und wo find that of
these only two wero unqualifiedly for
what is now popularly known as "gov
erment by 'Injunction," six wero non
committal, whilo soven wero moroor
less emphatic in denouncing or criti
cising tho recent extenson of tlio in
junction power. Wo fancy that tho
Times-Herald sent Its question to tho
Judges without knowing, cxcoptln
special cases, what their views might
be, and tho largo proportion, there
fore, who did not hesitate to rango
thcmselycB besldo Mr. Altgeld, tho
creator of this Issuo in our politics, is
surprising and highly significant.
Tho two Judges who aro unqual
ifiedly In.support of this recent ex
tension of tho injunction power aro
Judgo Peter S, Grosscup of tho United
States circuit court of Chicago and
Judgo Richard S. Tuthlll, also of that
city. Judgo Grosscup was already on
record In the Debs caso In 1894, and
his vlows aro simply in accord with
his position then, Ho admits that
Alio application or tho powerjto strikes
Is now, but "now conditions," ho
says, "havo risen to which 'tho law
has been applying old remsdles, 'and
this misleads somo very good pcoplo,
'and fomo very bad ones, too, Into
hysterics 'over government by injunc
tions." Ho declares that tho uso of
tho Injunction, where tho wrong
threatened would othorwsso bo Irre
parablo, Is "not only within tho
power, 'but within tho duty of tho
tribunals.
Tho power Is a great one, and woo
'to him who through mere lovo of
'power misuses it, but woo also to him
'who through mero fear rofuses It."
Judgo Tuthlll admits that tho power
Is a very great ono and should not bo
misused, but ho Is unawaro that there
has been any abuso of tho power, and,
