GOLD BY DANGER CUARDED. The Difficulties Which Beset Mining in Alaska Territory.

JUNEAU, Alnska, May 8.—[Special to Tne Bek.|—The Alaskan boat steamed from Port Townsend, B. C.,on May 1, with fifty-eight cabin and enty-four steerage passengers. inch of room in the hold was stored with sup- plies of every character for Alaskan ports. The last point touched before reaching Alaskan water was Victoria, B. C., and then only for the purpose of taking aboard freight and passengers. Awmong the cablu passengersave eloven I1adies, two of whaom are tourists, and four are residents of Alaska. Among the passengers are Misd Grace Ashloy, late of Baltimore, Md., who goes to Sitka under a three years’' contract to teach the nati at the Indian mission, and Miss Jennie Dunlap, of Mell, Kan., who is under a like contract at Juneau. A brother of ex-Governor Swineford, who has just been succeeded by Hon. Lyman Knapp, is aboard with men and machinery for Sitka where the gove nor is interested in a quartz mine, and this season will see a ten stamp mill in full operation. Among the cabin pas- sengers, probably forty have never be- fore been in Alaska, and go there tor the purpose of prospecting for goid. The steerage passengers ave nearly all ON PROSPECTING EXPEDITIONS, most of whom are bound for the Yukon river country. Whether they ull reach there, will probably depend upon their stamina, and that most important re- quisite to all miners, *‘good luck.” There are on board four men who have been into the Yukon river coun- try. Whether thr of them will r turn this seuson, depends upon their by ing able to securs steady employment, at Juneau, in which event they will not go. The fourth man will probably re- turn to the diggings to look for the bonanza he failed to bring out last fall.

Therefore 1 zot nothing for my summer’s work.” “Why did you not put in more than twenty-filve days’ work at the dig- gings?" “1 did not reach the until the 15th day of July?’ *Did it take you from June 2 to .lulv 16 to go from Juneau to the digging: “Yes, but we wore detained at Chil- coot, un Indian settlement 120 miles from Juneau, about ten days on ac- count of TROUBLE WITH THE INDIANS among themselves. They would not ack our goods over the range until hey had settled their difficulties,” “How long did it take you to make the return trip?” “A little over six trayel.” ““At'the time you left Juneau wus not spring fairly opened, and did not the pleasant weather of fall hold out until you returned?” **The weather for the most part was delightful, except on the return trip, and then only in the early morning were we troubled by the water which had frozen on our bouts and oars during the night,” “Isnot the journey from Juneau to the gold-diggings a pleasunt one, aside from the tediousness of thé trip?” “Were the length of the tripthe onty objection would not remain at Juneau for §5.50 per day. The journey from the time we reach” this side of the mountain range, 120 miles from Juncau, is fraught with experiences which are seldom met in a miner’s life. It is one continuul round of excitement, HARDSHIP AND DANG . The means of travel after cross range is in light canocs, in wat swilt and unknown, “*Will you pleuse commence at Juneau, which T understand to be the outfitting point for winers going tothe Yukon, and lot me follow you along your jour- ney to the gold diggings?” ““Yes, sir.

We here CONSTRUCT A RAFT on which to cross the lake, a distance of five miles, when we had to make a port- age of half a mile. we made anotber raft in order to s through a half mile of river to another lake, but the water ran very swiftly, the rocks standing right in the middle of the channel, which was so crooked that soon after being launched it was dashed upon the rocks and wrecked. The raft lodged upon some rocks about sixty feet from shore, and as 1t was necessary for us to have some of the logs with which to make another raft, we had to shoot out the pins which held the logs together. In this way we loosened the logs and managed to eateh enough of them to build another raft, upon which we sailed twenty miles across another lake. Here we landed and whip out lumber for hoate, in which we s across a chain of three lakes of eigh- teen, twenty-two and thirty-five miles l'vs)n-llncl\, connected by rivers of tive, twenty nnd sixty milés in length. THe AW 18K empties into the ¥ ukon river, which is about one-half mile wide at this point, and for most of the 650 miles that T traveled 1t, the water is very deep and runs very swift. Nu- ISLANDS RISE OUT OF THE WATER, ly timbered, but of small s and spruce. The tributaries are me of them rivers from one- or to three-quarters of a mile in width. We had a little difficulty du\\n the Yukon,until we reached what alled the Canon. Between the twenty-two mile ke and the thirty- five mile lake, refer 4'l| to above, the water passes through vi ty miles long, and at the (.nmnlln' rocks rise on either side to a perpendicular height of feet, through which the water Tows with tremendous speed, BOILING AND SEETHING, for a distance of about one-haif mile, We went through the canon in two minutes, but our hoat became nearly swamped. We then ran twoand one- half miles down a rocky piece of river, to the head of what is named *‘White Horse,” so called on account of the water passing through porpendicular rocks on both sides, though not so high as at the canon, but the water is lashed into fonm upon the jagged rocks which are concealed from view by the white lather which covers the surface of the river from bank to bank. At this place one of our boats beeame unmanagenble, and at the lower end of the whirlpool SUDDENLY PLUNGED FORWARD and instantly disappeared. A short dis- tance below it came to the surface, and one man, who had held to the rope, was picked up more dead than alive. Two other men who were in the boay were ver seen after it capsized. short distance beiow White Horse e come to what is called the ‘‘Ilive % Five buge rocks, whose exposed to the rushing tor- rents, are worn smooth and round, and rise to a height of forty feet, standing 1 a line across the pathway of the mad torrents. We passed through the Fin- gers safely. From this point to Forty Mile creel, the location of our placer digyings, we had smooth sailing, and commenced our prospecting as near as I can estimate, after having traveled about nine hundred miles from Juneau. We were SIX WEEKS G ING BACK to Juneau, and the journcy was one of constant labor, pulling our boats along by means of ropes. wading, and pushing with poles, and you can imagine what headway we could make in_water that I have described as above.” **‘How many men were there in your party on the return trip?” “We kept picking them up and when we reached the range there were twenty-six men in all.’”’ “Did all of them have some dust?” HOW IT P. NED OUT. “Every man had more or less. As near as I could rtain the least had about $50, and the oSt amount by a single individual was about $4,000. " Six of the party had about $2,000 each; two had #3,000 and $4,000; the balance would probably average about $500 each. Bear in mind, however, that those who had the most spent the previous winter in the mines, and thus got the advantage of about a month longer work than those who went out when I dia. And besides, they prepared in the winter for work as soon as the weather would permit.” “‘How many men do you think there were in the entire Yukon river country including all its tributaries, last sea- son?” ‘‘Not to exceed four huudrod. That I think a big estimate.” “*Do you think 'hers willb e as many go in this season?” “T do not. As near as I canascertain, few of those who have been there be- fore will go back. The risks incurred far exceed the amount taken out. When some easier means of gotting into the Yukon is found, the country will swarm with miners, and I have no doubt that rich mines will be discov- ered.” MiNer W.

J(e' ‘ DEATH JOINED THEIR HANDS, Pathetic Suicide of Two Lovers on an English Railway. THEWIDOW'S HEART WAS BROKEN An Aged Philadelphia Lady Expires Suddenly on Learning Her Lover's Perfidity—Marricd Them in the Highway. Littto Romances. A pair of lovers have just committed suicide on the Midland railway, be- tween Nottingham and Trent, Eng- land, under highly romantic circum- stances, Lilian Barford assumed the position of barmaid at the Midlund hotel, at Derby, for which purpose she had left her home 1n the north of England. Owing to some misunderstanding with the proprictors she relinquished her new position after having been in it only a few days. A young Belgian named Feron, who happened to be staying with some relatives at Derby, and who had in an in- formal manner, made the young lady’s acquaintunce during her brief appedr- ance as the divinity of the bar at the Midiand hotel, met her one evening, bowed, resumed the acquaintance, and made an appointment to take her to the theater on the following night. Feron, whose father resides in Brussels, was well supplied with money. Feron becnme perfectly infatuated with Miss Bradford, who returned his affection in an equally d manner. The course of true love w: not destined to run smoothly. however. Before making the acquainiance of Lillian, the inflamma- ble young Belgian bad alveady mort- gaged his affections to the daughtor of a prominent Derby merchant. The young lady did not show position to relinquish her claims in favor of his later afliliation, and hav- ing in hee possession a number of pas- e epistles from the young man, mined to sue him for breach of for which purposs sho placed o in the hunds of her lawyers. s juncture Feron’s father arrived from Brussels. After wasting a woeck or two in these ineffectual remon- strances, the senior Feron finally re- turned to the continent without his son, who was still as madly in love as ever with the fascinaving Miss Bradford, who had reluctantly confessed to him that she also had previously pledged her af- fections to another, who was expecting her shortly to become his wife. The strangelyv unsophisticated couple seemed to be able to see no way out of their difliculties other than suicide, and repeatedly announced their intention of completing their erratic carcers by a tional termination. C aturday lust the counle decided to visit Notting- ham, for some purpose which has not transpired, and before starting the girl announced their intention to the lara- ting suicide togother, would be found dead t()g«,lhu‘ on the train. Upon arrival of the train at Trent, however, the couple, who had secured a compartment to themselves, were found stretehed upon the floor, bieeding and lifeless. Feron’s revolver, which he had been excep- tionally fond of exhibiting, was the weapon which did the deadly work, and there is no doubt that Feron first shot the girl and then himself. Jane Bell, a_widow of fifty- s, a native of England, and a dress died lately in Philadelphia, of a broken hea The doctors called it ‘“‘heart clof She was the mother of two grown daughters, who had died, and had with her her twelve- year-old grand-daughter, Eva. William Reath, a rich widower, who had kuown er husband, came courting her, and for he past two years has been a constant tor at her house, calling regularly evenings a week, and modestly re- iving promptly as the clock struck 10. Last Sunday, while coming from church with Mr. Reath, a woman rushed up and said: “What are you doing with my husband?” H her that hc was not mar Th m'mlu\ '.he woman came und Reath’s wife, but the wily persuaded her to'the contrar o sertain the truth Widow Bell asked Rev. Mr. Culver, the clergyman, who sent the unfortunate widow a slip giv- ing an account of her recreant lover’s marriage nine years before. She went into a swoon, and in half an hour the angel of death eased her pain. Andrew ‘\Il(.r'hu\l of New Haven, Conn., recently died in poverty in u Baltimore hospital, ignorant of a for- tune waiting his cluim in his native state: Rey. William E. Bartlett, pastor of St. Ann’s Catholic church, found the puor fellow dying in the United States ine hospital, in Baltimore, and ad- mn church, He told the pr wealthy relatives in Connectic believed they had long since discarded him, and he had nothing to hope for from that source. He said that when twenty yearsof agehe had run away from home, went to California, shipped on a Pacific trader and followed the sea for twenty years, when stricken down with Brigh't’s disease, he was compelled to leave his vessel at this port and enter a hospital. The priest was much interested in his story, and when he died had his remains bur- ied in the Holy Cross cemetery, instead of letting them go to a pauper’s grave. Through the medium of the conterence St. Vincent de Paul, Rev. Bartlett then ommunicated with the branch of the conference at New Haven, and learned that Mitchell’s relatives were all dead, and he was the sole. heir to an exten- sive estate. The officers of the St. Vincent de Paul conference here will not say much about the dead sailor’s family, but it -is understood his family were wvery inent in the early history of New Eng- land. It isstated that the fortune now without elaimant consists principally of real estate and farm lands in the neigh- borhovd of Hartford and w Haven. The executors of the estate, which is valued at $200,000, have, it is said, been loolkiny for the sailor heir all over the world, and uumng him from port to port until about a year ago, when the search was abundoned, und he was given up for dead. He had intimated to his com- iat he left home because of a love affair, a mateh to which his wealthy parents were opposed, The real secret of his life's romance, how- ever, di prom- “Cen or more years ago Dr. J. G. B. Berger, son of Bernard Berger, the wor of Baltimore, met Nettie he in Philadelphia. They became acquainted and professed childish love for e other. A sbort time ago young Berger conceived the idea that he would like to meet the love of his childhood.

The husband is twenty-one years of ageand the bride only nine- teen. An extraordinary loccurrence taken place in one of the peinci churches of Madrid, in the parish Santa Cruz. A priest had nearly fin- ished his mass and was in the act of pronouncing the sacramental words, “Ite, missa est,” when a young man, aged twenty-one, and a beautitul girl of twenty suddenly approached the altar railing with three middle-nged men, and the young couple cried aloud: “*We wish to be husband and wife, Here are our three witnesses.” Now it seems that under the canonical laws still regu- lating marriages in Spain, Roman Catholies can thus claim to be consid- ered marvied by surprise if they are skillful enough to do so just after the priest has ut- tered the benedictior. at the close of mass. Formerly the stratagem was, as in the present case, resorted to by young people whose parents oppo: union. When this ocourved in church of Vera Cruz a scene of con- on ensued. The priest retired to the saerisity and sent for the police, who conducted the offenders and wit- nesses into the presence of the muni- cipal judge. Hedeclared the marringe valid, much to te delight of the young vuuplu and to the intense disgust of tho parents on both sides, who had resisted the union. has of A young couple were recently mar- ried in the highway in tho town ‘of Har- winton, in Litchfield county, Conneeti- cut, under circumstances which s the genius of young people on marria bent. Fred Chamberlain, a stout and handsome Yankee farmer about twenty- ears of age, had arranged to marry ][ungurfuul aneighbor. Most ol’ the Harwinton people go to church at Terryville, where Rev. W. F. Arms preaches. The knot could not be tied until a li- cense was had from the town registrar, and Fred procured one from the town clerk in Harwinton. Then heand his affianced got into a carriage and went to the clergyman’s residence in Terroville and arranged to take a short bridal trip on the Naugetuck railroad But when the license was produced the clergyman teld him it was good for Harwinton, but not in Terryville, and he could not violate the law. The un- happy young couple were in a quandary, but they finally adopted the proposition of the clergyman, that he get into the hack with them and drive over into the town of Harwinton and there tic the knot. The driver, John ,Abbott, put his horses through in quick time, and the purties went beyond the town line into Harwinton, and there, in the middle of the road and with uncovered heads, the marriage ceremomy -was quickly per- formed. The driyer actedas subscrib- ing witness, and they, all got into the hack and drove rapidly back in time to take the train for their wedding trip. In June, 1862, Alfred Cummings, a contractor and nulldcx‘ of Chicago, and the possessor of a Wife and five small chiidren—three girly ‘and two boys— marched forth tobattle for the union. At Chattanooga he was wounded and taken prisoner, being listed as killed. After eight months in southern hos- pitals and prisons he made his escape, rejoined his company before Atlanta, and marched with Sheridan to the sea, He wrote his wife an account of his capture, escape and the sub- sequent campaign, but it was one of “‘the letters that never came.” His wife, believing him dead, and hav- ing a large family to support, married again, moving to another part of Chi- cago. At the close of the war m- mings returned. His wife and children were gone, no one knew whither. Heart broken, he began his weary search for them, traveling all over the country. When his money was ex- hausted he earned more and started again on his s He drifted to Leadville, made considerable money, and spent it all as before, and returnéd to the west. A short time ago he re- turned to the mining camp, and as he sat around the camp fire his attention was attracted by a scrap of paper blow- ing along the ground. Jt proved to be a fracment of the Detroit Free Press, and he found itin an account of a reception to be given by the 0dd Fel- lows of that city. He saw among the names of those who were conducting the preparations for the reception, that of John H.Cummings. This was the name of his eldest son. He found John H. Cummings was the inside steward of house. The stranger gerly into the young man’s face momentarily, and then stretching out both hands, exclaimed: ‘*‘John, my boy, don’t you know your father?” When the mists cleared away, father and son, who had not seen each other for wwenty-seven years, were clasped in cach others arms. That night Alfred Cumming slept under the roof of his son’s house av 14 Miller street. Now comes the denoue- ment. A few yeurs ago the second hus- band of Mrs, Cummings died, and she has since lived in Toledo with her son, Charles E. Cummings. All three daughters are married. A remarkable family reunion was held at Toledo, the father and husband, so long separated from his own, once more taking them to his heart again. Alfred Cummings is now fitty-eight years of age, but still robust. He will yefurn to the west and resume his mining gperations, having truck a rich lead., A Wonglerful Lake. One of the most picturesque and re- markable bodies of water in the world is Lake Henry, in Idaho, says the San Trancisco Post. At is situated on the dome of the continens, in a depression in the Rocky Mountains, called Tar- gee’s Pass. It hasoan arvea of forty square miles, and. all around it rise snow-capped peaks,.some of them being the highest on theiccontinent’s back- bone.

These roots are covered with several feet of rvich soil, The surface is hard enough to support the weight of a horse anywhere, and there are places where a house could be built. The wind blows the island about the lake, and it seldom remains twenty-four hours in the same place, i 25 Had ih* Figures to Show For I, Chicago Tribune: **You never loved me, John!" sobbed Mrs. Bitlus, hyster- ically. “Maria,” exclaimed Mr. Billus, ear- nestly, “'you are mistaken.
