Seattle, Wash, ,Aug. 31.——In speaking of the Klondike goldfields William Ogi1-. vie, dominion surveyor for the North- west Territories, discourages all stran- gers from going into the bleak country. He denies that any difference regarding the boundary line exists between Can- ada and the United States. He says: “Gold has been found in a certain zone in British Columbia, running through the Caribou and Cassiar districts. Pro- ject the axis-of this zone northwesterly, and we touch the Taslin lake, Hoota- linqua river, Stuart river, Indian creek, Troandike, Sixty Mile, Forty Mile, American creek, Seventy Mile and Birch creek. Now it is highly improba— ble that, gold being found at all these points, the intervening spaces are bar- ren,’ and we will do no more than say generally that we have a zone of up— ward of 500 miles in length, some of it in Alaska, more of it in the North— .West Territories and much of it in Brit- ish Columbia, which will yet be the scene of numerous mining enterprises, both on the quartz and the placer, the former practically inexhaustible. ' “The conditions, however, are most unfavorable. There is a nine month winter, barrenness is almost total so far as vegetation is concerned, the earth is bound in eternal frost, and the ther- mometer often reaches 60 and 70 degrees below zero.” Says He Owns Skagguay. San Francisco, Aug. 31.——A Chronicle special from Victoria contains a signed statement from Bernard Moore, who claims the town site of Skagguay. He says that ten years ago he made appli- cation for 160 acres of land in accord- ance with the United States laws as ap- plied to Alaska, had a legal survey and paid the requisite $400 to the proper ofl‘i- cials. He had just begun to stock the place for a dairy when the gold rush began, and now thousands of citizens of Skagguay are claiming the land he bought from the government. THE HOTGHKISS MERDBR. There Is Still Not the Slightest Clew to Its Perpetrator. Middletown, Conn., Aug. 31.——The fu- neral of Bertram L. Hotchkiss, the young farmer who was shot and in- stantly killed Tuesday night, was held this afternoon at the. little Episcopal church in Kcllingworth. The murder is as much a mystery as i't'=was when the news of it first reached here. Sheriff Brown has charge of the investigation and is working his hard- .es‘t and is the recipient of gratuitous advice from half the county. Yet ef- fortg are distinctly inadequate. Time is everything just now, and too much of lthas slipped away without one definite zonclusion being reached. There was a great cry raised when it was learned that young Herman Sachs, who had done odd jobs on Hotchkiss’ farm, had bought a gun. The suspicion against him was strengthened by ru- mors that Sachs had quarreled with his employer. Since. however, Sachs has proved a pretty fair alibi, and it has been learned that there was no trouble between him and his employer when Sachs left the farmhouse last Wednes- day. A rather strange thing is that the house dog was either in a state of total paralysis from fear or else thought the presence of a prowler on the ground around the house at nighttime nothing unusual. The dog made no sign that anything unusual was going on around him up to the time the shot was fired. The adherents of the theory that Sachs is connected with the murder use this dog story against him. Colorado Desperadoes at Large. Leadville, 0010., “Aug. 31.—Five pris- oners made their escape from the coun- ty jail here last night, and the night 'jailer at a late hour is still locked up in the jail, the prisoners who escaped hav- ing made away with the keys of both the outer and inner doors.

Spann, charged with assault; James Bristol, charged with forgery. and James Daw- son, charged with assault with intent to kill. Wrecked the Bank Vault. E'lnidale, Kan., Aug. 31.-——Shortly after midnight cracksmen literally blew the vault of the Exchange bank to pieces.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 31.--—Advices from the Bering sea by the steamer Portland show that the entire catch of the North American Commercial com- pany for the season was 20,000 skins, which are now en route to San Fran- cisco on the steamer Del Norte. Last year’s catch amounted to over 20.000 skins. Instead of over 70 sealers that hunted last year in the Bering sea there are only 20 this season. With about one- third the sealers in the sea the catch is not expected to be much greater than last season. The sealers are figuring on 1,200 skins as being a high number. Meager reports returned so far from the patrol show that the "catch is not over average up to date. All of the Bering sea patrol had not reported in'when the Portland leg Dutch harbor. on Aug. 20.
