Denial of Reports Sent Out of a Con-
gestion of Freight. ‘

LARGE PARTY PROM CHICAGO

About 150 Residents of the “Windy City”
Will Attempt to Make a Quick Run
' For the ilondike Region—A Con-
necticut Man Heard From.

Seattle, Wash, July 28.-The report
s'ent out from Port Townshend that
there is already a blockade at Dyea of
freight destined for the Klondike gold-
fields has not been verified here and
cannot be confirmed. Only one steamer,
the Alki, had‘ landed freight and passen—
gers at Dyea at the time the Topeka,
which arrived yesterday, left Juneau.
Therefore it is not possible that there
can be a very great crush at Dyea. Re-
ports received here indicate that pros-
pectors are having no trouble. How-
ever, when the loads of the Queen and
Mexico, which have already sailed, and
of the Islander'and the Rosalie, which
sail tomorrow and on the 3lst, respec-
tively, arrive at Sheep Camp, th§re will
probably be some delay, but horses are
now being shipped to Dyea-from Seat-
‘Ile by hundreds. They will be used for
packing over the divide, and will much
expedite the carrying of outfits. A

‘ large pack trai‘h is already operating.

Persons who have an idea that cold
weather exclusively prevails in Alaska
will be surprised to learn that Archi-
bald Burns, a miner, was‘ afiected by
sunstroke while crossing the pass from
Dyea. He recovered and proceeded
after two days’ rest. The report up to
last week of the tonnage of provisions
which has gone into the ,Yukon country
by the overland route was' 5.000, and
there was about 5,000 tons of live stock
in addition.

The latest rumor from Alaska is of
the wonderfully rich quartz in large
quantities on the Stewart river. Par-

lticulars are vague, and beyond the fact

that the ledge is a large one and that
the rock assays $300 nothing can be
learned.

This, if true, will mean much for the
Klondike district. The Stewart river
runs into the Yukon not far above Daw-
son, and it is reasonable to suppose that
the placer gold now being found below
may have its origin in,the mountains
at the head of the Stewart river and
neighboring streams.

. Chicagoans Going.

Chicago, July 28.—-A party of men
bound for the Klondike goldfields will
leave here on a special train next Sat-
urday night. There will be 150 persons
in the party. The train will run direct—
ly through to San Francisco, where the
gold hunters will remain three days to
purchase mining supplies and then ship
for St. Michael’s on a special steamer.
Three steam launches are expected to
be in waiting to transport them up the
Yukon to the mouth of the Klondike
riVer. Each man may take 500 pounds
of baggage from San Francisco, but
only a part of this will be taken up the
river with the party. When the Klon-
dike is reached, the launches will be
moored in Winter quarters, and the gold
hunters propose to live aboard them un—
til spring.

II is claimed that plans have been
made for carrying enough provisions
to supply all the travelers with food
until late next summer. An effort will
be made to cover the distance from
Chicago to the Klondike within 30 days.
In addition to the crew, guides and offi-

. cials, 200 men will leave San Francisco

on the special steamer. Of these the
larger part will be from Chicago.

Connecticut Man In Alaska.
Winsted, Conn., July 28.—An interest-
ing letter was received from Waldo C.
Curtis. who left VVinstc—d some time ago
on a gold prospecting tour in the Yukon
district in Alaska and British Columbia.
.Ir. Curtis wrote on a piece of flour
sack, as he only had a few moments,
having fortunately met the mail carrier

“on his return from the Yukon district

to the coast. The mail carrier had been
since January last in making the round
trip. Mr. Curtis writes of some thrilling
experiences. There are five of his party
besides the Indians who carry the bag-
gage, charging an excessive rate. The
men were then traveling through slush
and snow up to their knees, over icy
mountains and across treacherous val-
leys. A day or two before the letter
was written the whole party narrowly
escaped with their lives. The ice gave
way, and two of them were carried into
the freezing water amid snow and ice.
Mr. Curtis threw a rope from his side
to the nearest drowning man and one
of his companions on the other hand

-. and rescued the unfortunates.

At the date of the letter they had just
made the Chilkat pass and would soon
reach Miller’s canyon, which is the most
dangerous part of the expedition. Here,
by a. 21/2 minute ride through a narrow
and perilous shoot, they saved four days’
journey over an icy mountain. When
the shoot was run, they expected soon
after to reach the Yukon river. Here
they w'ould take to boats again, and the
current was so strong that they could
travel the last 400 miles in eight days.

_ They expected to reach DaWson, which
was their destination, in two weeks
from the date of the letter.

\ .—
Canada Will Not Interfere.

Ottawa, Ont., July 28.—The Dominion
government at a special cabinet council
called to consider affairs connected
with the Yukon country decided not to
attempt to enforce the alien law in the
Klondike district. The arrangement
entered into with the United States
treasury department by the min’rtcr'ot
customs was approved.- This plan pro-
v‘vies for the establishment of a cus-
"' ’5 port and police station at Lake
'.. ‘ :ish, the confluence in British terri-
l uy of the tWO principal trails leading.
1.0111 the Dy‘ea inlet. The additiona‘
police will consist of a detachment of 8t
men, making, with the 20 already in. a
force 'if 100 men. A new post is now
being established at Dawson City.

Rich Placers In Mexico.

Cily of Mexico, July 28.———It is predict-
ed here that when the gold placer min-
ing is developed in the state of Guerrerc
more gold will be taken out than in the
Klondike regions. Some placer mining
is being done with excellen‘ ' soults, anc

 

per month. The’Indians in Sonora, who
work in a crude way in the local gold
placers, only operating when in press-
ing need of money, get large returns for
very little labor, and an explorer who
has recently been through the remotest
regions states that Sonora will equal

producer-

Ilead Mines to Resume.

Helena, Mon., July 28.——A big mining
deal has been consummated by which
Braden Bros. of Helena have come
into possession of the reduction works
owned by the Kootenai lake, B. C.,
owned by the Kootenai Mining and
Smelting company. The works have
been idle about a year, but will: be
operated at once. The plant includes a
50 ton concentrator, which will also be
operated. The company owning the
property spent $1,000,000 in reduction
works and various improvements, but
was unable to make a success of the
venture. The deal includes Blue ‘Belle,
one of the'largest lead mines in the
world, which is worked by Braden
Bros. That mine and the properties of
the same firm in the Slocan country and
other points in British Columbia will
furnish the reduction works with its
chief supply of ores, although some cus-
tom work will be done. The resumption
of work in the smelter will have the ef-
fect of opening up a number of mines
in that section. '

MANY MINERS OUT.

A Bingreak In \Vest- Virginia —— Great
Excitement Prevails.

Parkersburg, W. Va., July 28.—-The
miners in Menongah region have gone
out en masse, and news from southwest
and Great Kanawha valley is that the
miners have banked on Governor At-
kinson’s good will and struck. There is
great excitement.

St. Louis, July 27.—One hundred of
the marching strikers who are operating
under the leadership of Bradley, a Cox-
Ieyite, tried to seize an Illinois Central
freight train at Belleville, Ills. They
were driven off by a sheriff’s posse.
When the fast freight slowed up at
Belleville, the band of strikers boarded
it and declared their intention of riding
to the Lenzburg and Marissa mines,
where they wished to inaugurate a
strike. The crew refused to carry the
strikers and/halted the train at the de-
pot. The master of transportation at
Pinckneyville, Mr. Gaven, was commu-
nicated with. He sent a telegraphic de-
mand to Sheriff Rhein of Belleville for
the protection of the train. The sheriff.
accompanied by his deputies and the
Belleville police force, went to the scene.
He read Gaven’s message to the strik-
ers, and they at once abandoned the
train. There was no disturbance.

CCRPSE AND BRIDAL WRRATH.

Miss Olney Married In the Room In
Which Her Dead Mother Lay.

Putnam, Conn., July 28.—-The funeral
of Mrs. D. K. Olney, who died at her
residence here Sunday, was held today.
Just previous to the funeral Miss Clara
Belle Olney, the only daughter of the
deceased, was united in marriage to
Burt L. York, Jr., a student at the Yale
Theological seminary. The ceremony
was performed in the room in which the
bride’s dead mother was lying. Only
the members of the immediate family
of Mr. York and the near'relatives of
Miss Olney were present. The marriage
at this time was in accordance with the
expressed wishes of Mrs. Olney.

Rev. F. D. Sargent, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, performed the cere-
mony. The contracting parties are well
known in this city. '

 

Fatal Runaway Accident.

Springfield, Mass, July 28.—While
Mrs. Mary B. Knapp, a prominent res-
ident of Chicopee, Mass, was driving
with her daughter, Mrs. F. F. Tuttle,
in W'est Springfield, Mass, yesterday
afternoon, their horse became frighten-
ed and ran into a fence, throwing both
women to the ground. The carriage
passed over Mrs. Knapp’s chest, frac-
turing three ribs, and she died an hour
later. Mrs. Tuttle was but'slightly
bruised.

The Sedan Monument.

Paris, July 28.———The cabinet has un-
expectedly decided that the government
will not be represented at the unveiling
of the national monument at Sedan, in
August, to the memory of the soldiers
who fell there in the Franco-Prussian
war. It is believed to be due to the
rapprochement between France and
Germany and the talk of the latter’s
restoring Metz. ’

Charged “'ith Embezzlement.

Pana, 1115., July 28.—Isaac N. Weave!
former secretary of the Citizens’ Sav-
ings, Loan and Building association of

dent of the association, charging him
with embezzlement. The full amount of
the shortage, as stated in the complaint,
aggregates $6,000.

London, July .28.—The Daily News
Says in its financial review that the
first consignment of gold from Austra-
lia to San Francisco, amounting to
$1,000,000, will be shipped on Aug. 3.
The shipment appears to be based upon
calculations of. a speedy fall in New
York exchange.

\Vallace Maxwell Drowned.

, Fernandina, Fla., July 28.—Wallace
Maxwell, son of Captain D. E. Maxwell,
general manager of the Florida Central
and Peninsular railroad, was, drowned

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING

_...._.——

Better Trade Outlook Reported From
' Many Localities.

MANUFACTURERS’ OPINIONS.

They Say That a Revival Is 'Probable.
Mills Resuming Work on the Strength
of the Hoped For Improvement.-
One Dividend Passed.

F1 .

Chester, Pa., July 28.—The Chester
Pipe and Tube mill was started up sev-
eral weeks ago on one—quarter capacity
after an idleness of several months. Or-
ders have just been posted for starting
another set of furnaces 'and to run them
night and day, thus giving employment
to three' times the number of men who
were employed last week. The Chester
Times has interviewed such prominent
manufacturers as William E. Trainer,

Richard Wetherill, William S. Blakeley, ‘

Charles Roberts, W. W. MacFarland,
J. C..Fender, D. G. Stokes and Freder-
ick Boldt, the largest in their lines, in-
cluding cotton, woolen, iron, steel and
other industries, and they all predict a
bright outlook and say there‘has been
a growing improvement in their busi-
ness for weeks. The proprietors of mills
which have been making but three days
per week for two years say they expect
to be running full time by September.
Negotiations are going on here for the
purchase of a. site for a mill that will
give employment to 300 families. Cap-
ital is now being subscribed for a dime
savings bank and trust company.

Confidence Causes Resumption.

Norristown, Pa., July 28.—The mill of
the Sterling company in Bridgeport re-
sumed today. Isaac Taylor, president
of the company, said: “We have re-
sumed after a shut down since the first
of the month—not because of a rush of-
orders, but because we are confident of
an increase in trade. We expect to be
busy shortly.” The company’s chief
output is cassimeres.

Ashley P. Hunter, secretary and man-
ager of the Norristown Woolen com-
pany, was sanguine of an ultimate im-
provement.
tures a fine grade of cloth for men’s
wear. Mr. Hunter said: “The advance
in prices, owing to the increase in du-
ties, may halt buying to some extent,
and I would not be surprised to see a
temporary lull. But,” he continued, “as
prices gradually adjust themselves to
the hew order of things there will come
improvement, and our business will be
benefited.” Asked What would be the
increased cost of a suit of clothing as a
result of the advance in price that must
necessarily follow the higher duty, Mr.
Hunter said that a fine, heavy winter
suit would cost from $1 to $1.25 more.
This, however, was on the assumption
that the wages and prices of five years
ago will be restored, something that he
does not anticipate.

The Conshohocken mill started today

on a large order.

Car “’orks Busy.

Wilmington, Del., July 28.—-The Jack-
son & Sharp company of this city has
received the contract to build a number
of cars for the Southeastern Railway
company of London. A sample car,
which was shipped from the works of
the Wilmington corporation a few weeks
ago, has arrived in London, and, having
met the approval of the board of direct-
ors of the European railway, the local
firm has been awarded the contract for
the construction of the cars. While
only one car has yet ~been shipped to.
the London railway company, an extra
force of men has been put on the other
cars, which will be finished about the
last of the summer. This is the first
contract the company has received for
cars in London. ’

Search IS Hopeful.

Philadelphia. July 28.—Theodore C.
Search of the J. B. Stetson company,
and president of the National Associa-
tion of Manufacturers, said: “I am cer-
tainly looking for good businesslthis
fall, and I am sure ‘there is renewed
confidence on along the line. An im-
provement is already noticeable in the
hat trade, in which I am directly inter-
ested. We are now receiving larger or-
ders and for higher priced goods than
for several years past, and that is what
tells the story to us.”

 

A Large Plow Factory Resumes.
Louisville, July 28.—The Avery Plow
factory resumed operations today aft-
er a three years’ shut down, giving em-
ployment to 1,000’3men. One thousand
additional workmen will be given em-
ployment gradually in the future.

Poor Business Here.

Boston, July 28.—The directors of the
Lyman cotton mills of Holyoke have
voted to pass the regular semiannual
dividend of 2 per cent, which has been
declared every six months for 12 years.‘
Treasurer Parsons stated that .the busi-
ness for the last six months has been
exceptionally poor. The capacity Of the
mills is 100,000 spindles, and 65,000 spin-
dles have been shut down. The mills
will continue partially closed down until
there is a better demand. '

No Cricket Match With Canada.
Toronto, July 28.-—For the first time

'in a dozen years there will be no inter-

national cricket match between the
United States and Canada this year.
So many of the crack American players
are away in England with the Philadel-'
phia eleven that it will be impossible to
put a representative team in the field.

Powderly and Tracewell Appointed.

Washington,~ July 28.—The president
today announced the following recess
appointments: ,

T. V. Powderly, commissioner general
of immigration. ‘ .
