2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 12 1897 LILIUCKALANI 1§ [N GOOD HEALTH No Truth in the Story That the Ex-Queen Is Very Ill. Commotion Caused by a Dip- lomatic Ruse to Avoid Visitors. Callers Told That the Ex-Hawalian Ruler Was at the Point of Death. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11.—There is no truth 1n the report that jormer Queen Lilinokalani of Hawail is crivcauy 1l She is in excellent health and this even- inz tooka walk in the vicinity of her hotel. The rumors regarding Liliuckalani had their origin in a bit of dipiomatic evasion inspired by herself. me visi whom she particulariy de- sired 10 avoid meeting sentup their cards. Word was returned that the former Queen was at the point of death as a result of an attack of pneumonia. The ecallers, thus inade victims of the expediency, immedi communicated the information to all with whom they came in contact, STARTATION AND PLENTY OF NOGGETS Continued from First Page. make Dawson could be liitle less than suicide. Mr. Rocko left before the police had finally determined to take the matterin their hands. The sawmill cleaned up about $10,000 for each of its owners during the summer. As it is colder down at the | Lewis River that river may now be frozen up or full of siush ice which may freeze any night. Charies Wells of Juneau has received a letter from E. M. Pound at Dawson, dated September 5, in which he says the new discoveries on Sulphur Creek promise to be very rich; that everybody in Dawson | is praying for the boats 1o arrive with mere food. Mr. Pound is an old prospector who went in from Juneau early last spring. He stated also that there would be great suf- fering if these boais did rot get up the river. Another letter received here by | Joseph Jourdan from a friend in Dawson | requested that wallpaper be sent in with | which to ornament the new opera-house. The dance goes on though famine threats ens. A letter from W. O’Brien, st Dawson, dated September 1, to Colonel John Olds of Juneau, reads: “I have at I found time to drop a few lines to you, letting you know of my safe arrival in Kiondike, as well as finding everyibing.as truthful and exact as was represented to us. But I think one must be here to appreciate it. Eggnog 1s $250 a drink. There are many salcons, and all are having a harvest, but | Iimagine they will be talking to tbem- selves before the next clean-up. If tue boats get up the river there will be plenty for every one, and if they do not there will be starvaiion for every one. Wages are as always—$10 per day in town and $15in the gulck. I think some have con- iracted for an ounce per day for the next siX months, and wages may be even higher yet if t0oo many men do not get in this fall. They can well afford to pay $30 per day on Bonanza and E! Dorado. Packing ranges from 20 to 40 cents a pound, and it is hard to get any one to pack. “This is a very unhealthy place to livein during the summer on account of fever. There have beea many deatus from the fever, noticeable the two Calson brothers (perbaps you mey know them), who had just made their stake of $50,000 eacn. They bad written their folks at home of their success and their intended return. Weit, they are buried. A man named Peterson, a tall fellow, whom you may re- member, died in a hole from damp. He went dowan before the gas had got cut. Taere have been many otver accidents in the digzings which were fatal. “I saw a man from Forty-mile to-day. He said there was only one man left in ibat place, and Circle City is not much better.” O'Brien states that he has an interest in & claim and is doing well. Har HorrMax, DULL, YELLOW GOLD FROM COOKS INLET Kiondlke Is Not the Only Rich Re- glon Up Under the Gleam of the Northern Light. SITKA, Araska, Oct. 5 (by steamship City of Topeks, via Juneau).—The Klon- dike is not the only nugget on the beach. Other gold fields in Alaska have turned out nuggers ranging in size from a flax- seed 10 an aluminum dollar. I saw them to-day. They have not as much quartz in them as the avérage specimens frcm Kion- dike, and the goid appears to have more age in the action of placer deposits. Itis smoother and more rounded. On the last steamship, Dora, which arrived here from Unalaska to-day, were about thirty-five miners from th ks Inlet country. In the whbole number there was not a man of them who was not loaded with gold; and many of “the boys,” who have been out- side of civilization from one 10 ihree years, proceeded to get loaded otherwise immediately after the Dora tied up. No men but the successful or unfortunate miner knows how it feels to get back among his ow: accustomed surroundings after an ab- sence of several years and after a pro- tracted dier of bacon and beans. There are many who, under these circum- stances, may forgive him for ordering a tew large boities and small birds, I feit belts heavy with gold ' dust strapped around the bodies of husky miners. Iaiso saw smalil trunks full of the dull glare of real nuegets, and hidden away aboard ship were altogeiher, as near as conld be approximated, not less than $250,000, the results of a season’s clean-up in the Turnagain Arm territory. Nota man was there who had not gold, but as usual the buik of it belongs to a compara- Y.; Boz Michelson of Hamburgz, Ger- many, who is now en route to visit his parents and family at Alcesta, 8. D. George Brown of Amador County, Cal., and J. C. Price of Bangor, Me. They re- turn with §1C0,000 as the season’s clean- up. Four California men are the next most successful. They bave organized into the Fresno Mining Company, all baving come from Fresno or that vicinity. They are: Frank Tonier, Rickard Lane, Bob Elliott and Tom Williams. Tney are returning 10 Fresno with between $50,000 and §60,000 worth of the prettiest gold that has been washed out of tne Cooks I[ulet country Their claims are on Canyon Creek. 3 Ricbard Kane of Snobomish, Wash,, is bringing out about $5000 in dust from Bear Creek. Fred Bmith from Montana bas §10,000 of Link Creek nuggets in his buckskin sacks. A man named Fish of Los Angeles is carrying back about §6.00 in dust to the Angel Ciry. John Riley and son of Seattle are going back wiith about $15000 in Bear Creek zold. Neither father nor son will tell how much gold they have. Nobody aboard the ship could get a word out of them on the subject. This estimate is made trom the casual observation of other miners. They may have $15,000 or $50,000. Herman A. Schmesar of San Francisco it zoing back alter three years with three bulging sa which contain $2000 each. He was a teamster in S8an Francisco. Mark Tatom, a rongh-looking but a very sensible fellow, has $5000 in his possession. He s from Oregon. 1le is credited by the other miners with having one of the very richest claums in the Cooks Inlet region. He told me that he thought $5000 was enough to insure him a comfortable time for the winter in Portiand and San Fran- cisco, and there was plenty of gold where the $50.0 came from. These c'ean-ups represent the work of only one season on the claims. The men who brought out the most are those who bad been in there long enough to get tueir claims into working shape. It was not vossibie under the circumstances to get the names of even all who had made bandsome clean-ups, but the amount is not less than the estimate given, and may be a great deal more. Among the party was George T. Hall, | representative of the Alaska and Klon- dike Company. Mr. Hall is a mining en- gineer aud the company’s expert. He purchased in the Cook Inlet 2000 acres of placer ground. He says the gravel wiil average $150 per yard, and that there is enough of 1t to woik for fifreen years, He eaid the company would clean” up $1000 per day when they got the giant and en- tire hydraulic plant already provided for in operation next season, e sald tne company wouid send 800 men to Cooks Iniet next spring. About half of the Cooks Inlet party will return on the steamship City of Topeka, and the others will wait for the next steamship taking the outside passage, J. A. Brecker of this place, said to be the custodian of the secret of a new Kion- dike in the Lake Teslin region, as related in these dispatches a few weeks ago, and Miss Fiorence Amelia Sessions, who has a wide circle of friends in Chicago, were re- cently married here, and will make Sitka their home. Har HorrFmax. ot TO COPPER RIVER. An Expedition Will Leave San Fran- cisco Early In October. Evidently the excitement regarding the Alaskan gold fields has not abated to any great extent. General interest at the present time seems to center on the gold diggings of the north, and especially | those of the Copper River conntry. woere numerous rich strikes have recently been reporied. The success of prospectors in this district has been greater than was even expected and consequently that portion of the northern country bids fair to surpass the famous Klondike region in wineral wealth, Au expedition is now being crzamzed which will leave San Pedro’ on October 14, San Francisco Octover 18 and Seattle Oc- of the Copper River.* It is the first expe- dition to leave for that part of tbhe coun- try and the number of passengers is lim- ited to 160. The steamer Alice Blanchard bas been secured and as she is a compara- tively new ship the accommodations for passengers are pleasant and commodious. The expedition will proceed up the river about sixty miles, where a perma- nent camp will be established, where goods will be stored. The camp will be surrounding country will be prospected. The Government reports show that the easiest land route to the headwaters of the Yukon is through a valley terminat- ing at the Copper River, which enables miners to avoid the steep Chilcoot and White passes, and in consequence many who will go on the expedition will probably proceed on into the Klondike country. TheJoute of the proposed railroad to the Klondike wi!l be threugh the valley from the Copper River northward. It has been shown that the climate in the Copper River country is comparatively mild. The temperature for three years past tas not fallen boyond 14 degrees be- low zero, and as a general thing has not been lower than 7 or 8 degrees below zero. The mildness of the climate is reported to be due to the influence of the Japan cur- rent, woich sets in shore at a point near the mouth of Copper River. During the summer season good crops are raised, and in additon to this means of support there is wild game and the Copper River is stocked with salmon. There are small stations and Russian missionsat different points which ure self- supporting. The country is said to be heavily timbered and free from bleakness or'desolation, and it is thought that an outfit calculated for a year can i well man- aged be made to support a miner for two years. A number of ladies will join the expedition from this city, and fiity pas- sages have been engaged by telegraph from Los Angeles, a portion or them being re. served for ladies. THERE WILL BE A GREAT STRIKE. Laborers in Sympathy With the Struggling Engineers to Quit Work. LONDON, Exc., Oct. 11.—The secretary of the Federated Trades, which organiza- tion comprises thirty important indus- tries, announces that the executive committee has definitely decided to call struggle of the engineers against their » kind of people and to his | employers on Fridav nex:, when it is esti- mated a total of 400,000 men will be out of work on account of ihe great labor dis- pute, The Amalgamated Society of Engineers have cGoubts that there will be a general sirike of such poportions, and John Burns says that he has had no personal intimation that this course is contem- plated by the Fede; Trades. ey Martborough’s Heir to B+ Baptized.

SRR RACING STRINGS ARRIVING. Three More. Carioads of Horses Un- loaded at the Los Angeles Track. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Oct. 11.—For the races which begin at the fair grounds here on Thursday horsem n have Rreat expectations. The track is fast, and the entries will be notavle. More than 100 stalis Lave been added to the stabling, and many improvements of arrangement of betting-ring, saddling paddock, grand stand and pagodas for judzes and timers have been completed to make the grounds more lhike an ideal racing place than a country fair. To-day tnree more carloads of race- horses srrived. In the palace car Palo Alto, from the Palo Alto statles, came tie light-harness horses Betonica, Pasonte, Ansellor, Peko and Nordeau in cbarge of Dick Havey, trainer and driver.

CAPTUKRE THE TEMFLE CUP. Orioles Win usTlny Please From Boston During the Final Game of the Series. BALTIMORE, Mp., Oct. 11.—The Tem- ple cup will stay in Baltimore an- other year. It has been won twice in suc- cession for ihe first time in its history, and if the Orioles take it again it is theirs absolutely. The former champioas also take 60 per cent of the money paid in at the gates during the three games in Bos- ton and the two played here, while the winners of the pennant will get but 40 per cent, unless, as is generally believed, the players nave acreed among themselves to divide the spoils equally. To-day’s zame, like ail the others of the series save the first one, was an easy proposition for the Baitimoreans, who won much as they pleased, while the visi- tors never appeared to think they had any chance whatever. A crowd so small that the management refused to give the +x ct number, and so utierly devoid ct enibusiasm that scarcely a ripple of applause occurred, saw it done and appeared to be glad that the game, which, by the way, wasone of the shortest on record, was over and that the season was over with it. There may have been 1000 people on the grounds, but a better estimale would place the attend- ance at 750. This fact, in view of the pleasant weather which prevailed, indi- cates that Baltimore baseball enthusiasts liave had a .urfeit of the sport for the time being and that they do not look upon the “Temple cup” game as being anything out of the or tinary. At its conclusion both teams disbanded and manv of the ylayers left for their i homes, two of them, Jennings and Kel- ley, to prepare for the early assumption of marital responsibilities.

Peculiar Flaces In Which the Late Mrs. Perham of Boston Con- cealed Her Fortune. BOSTON, Mass., Oct, 1L.—7The late Mrs. Aimira M.

Little did they dream that by her desth they were left $64.- 000 in worlaly goods. The amount ot the legacy was not half so interesting as the vlace in which it was hidden for years. Who in the world would think of looking into a bustle for bank bills or anything valuable ? Sdmedbody peered into the late Mrs. Perbam’s bustle and the look brousit iorth §24,000 in cash.

ARGUING THE LUETGERT CASE Opening Address of the Prosecution Duly Begun. Attorney McEwan Says the Murder Charge Has Been Sustained. Building Up an Appeal for Convic- tion on Pureély Circumstantial Evidenoe. N Spectal Dispatch to T HE CALL. CHICAGO, InL., Oct 11 — The final arguments have been concluded in the Luetgert trial and the case will ba given to the jury by the end of the week. This, at least, is the expectation of the attor- neys. The defense expected to-day to take most of the session offering sur-re. buttal evidence, but :0 ne of the witnesses were not sent when their names were called, and it was decided that the case might as well go on. Assistant State’s Attorney McEwan began the opening ad- dress for the State, and he will speak for two days at least. He will Le followed by | Attorney Phalen for the defense, and At- | torney Vincent will close in behalf of | Luergert. Then will come the closing of the State, which will be made by State's Attorney Deneen. Assistant State’s Attorney McEwan ad- dressed the jury for three hours this after- noon and barely outlined his argument at the hour of adjournment for the day. He | will resume the argument to-morrow | morning and will talk all aay. “The State was conservative in itsas- | sertions as to what it would prove on the | witness-stand some weeks ago,” said the | speaker in his opening. “We made no| boasts. We told you in the simplesll language we could employ jast what the | evidence would disciose. Our promises i have been fulfilled. Testimony given | from the witness-stand hes disclosed ana developed more than we promised you. No stronger case under similar evidence was ever presented to a jury. Search the law-books the worid over and you will find no circumstantial case 1o equal the | now world-famous Luetgert trial. The crime is one of the most remarkable in criminal annals, yet when the details are followet up and linked together in a cir- | cumstantial chain the motive and the act are ex:remely plain and undeniable, The claim has been made here that we have failed to establish properly the corpus de- licti, and I suspect you will hear much about this from the attorneys on the o:her side. The body of the crime has been sufficiently shown by the circumstances which establish that Mrs. Luectgert met her death through a criminal agency. “There is no more necessity of proving the corpus delicti further than there would be to produce a house in court to prove | thata person on trial for burglary broke | into it, or to produce the horse vefore the jury which a thief is alleged to have stolen.” i Me¢Ewan referrea to the fact thatnearly | six months had elapsed since Mrs. Luet- | aert bad disappearel from her home. “She still remains absent ana will re- main missing as long as the world en- | dures,” shouted the assistant Siate’s| Attorney, staring at Laetgert. Then the case was taken up chron- ologically and al! the incidents were traced | oriefly down to the date of the opening of | the irial. This started with the inquiry | of Diedrich Bickner for his sister, and Luetgert’s indifferent reply that she had ieft in a temper and would retarn when she got over her “mad.” Finally came the notification of the police and the subsequent developments. All th were traced by the speaker who the police for the excellence of r work. ‘The conviction of innocent men upon circumstantial evidence ha sometimes oc- curred,” said Mr. McEwan, *‘but such men died as truly to support law and | ctde,r asthe sailor or soldier killed in bat- | tle.” The alleged relations of Luetgert and Mary Siemmering were touched upon and were declared to have furnished the mo- tive forthe crime. Then law was read to impress the jury with the scope and sig- nificance of circumstantial evidence. To-morrow special attention will be paid to Mary Siemmering and William Charles, and Dr. Walter Aliport, the bone expert, will also be considered at some lengtu. FINANCES OF UNCLE SAM. In the Annual FKeport of the Treas- urer the Vast Redemption of Na- tional Bank Notes Is Shown. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 11.—The annual report of the Treasurer of the United States will show that on June 30, 1896, the total available assets of the treasury were $855,685,321, and on June 30, 1897, they had increased to $874.764,377. Of these sums $308,356 448 was available on June 30, 1896, and $283 295,424 on Jjune 30, 1897, for the strictly fiscal operations of the Government. On June 1896, $547.- 330,973 anc on June 30, 1897, $581,468 953 were held on deposit, against ouistanding certificates and treasury notes. In addition to the net ordinarv revenues the Treasurer received $15448970 in de- posits for the retirement of national bank notes and $3230 in refunding certificates for conversion into bonds, =0 that the total income available for the fical oper- tions of the year was $363,173,925. As| 2gainst this there was disbursed, besides | the ordinary expenditures the sum of $11,378,502 on account of bonds and frac- tional currency and the further sum of $11,092,355 in the retirement of national bank notes, making a total of $388 245 017. The net loss of available cash arising from thes: operations thercfore was $25071.091. In the issue of paper currency the operations of the vear, which amount | to $374,848,000, were exceeded in only one year, 1893, and then only by a narrow | marcin. T e redemptions, amounting | to $330 710,020, were also relatively higher, The presentation of national bank notes for rademption incressed to such propor- tions as 1o overiax the capacity of the force employed in counting and assorting, and required considerable advances to be made out of the genera! fuuds of the treasury. By an increase of the force, however, the arrearage of work was brought up before the close of the year. Al 05 HARRISON NOT A CANDIDATE.

President Zelaya of Nicaragua ANow Appears to Be Trying to Provoke a War With Costa Rica. MANAGATU, NicaraGUA, Sept. 26 —The revolution has been suppressed. It has been a weak effort thus far by some of the ablest men in Nicaragua. They had ne arms and the people who were disposed generally to ral'y to the leaders hid away in the woods. President Zelaya is taking strong meas- ures to supvress forever the spirit of op- position to his rule. Heis bringing sus- pected persons in large numbers in chains from their houses to the penitentiary at Managua without trial and is imposing very heavy fines on them and on the ab- sent supposed sympathizers with the rev- olution. The dangerof continnance of war to-day is in the fact that Zelaya has imprisoned and treated with much indignity Senor Beche, Consul at Managua for Cosia Rica, a warm personal friend of President Igle- sias of Costa Rica. ‘Beche was at Granada at the time the revolution commenced | there on the night of September 12. The Consul was arrested on suspicion of being an active participant in the revolution. It is quite probable that the Diet of the | Greater Reputblic of Central America will recall Senor Beche’s exequatur, and then probably he will be sent out of Nicaragua | without trial. But it appears that Costa Rics has declared a state of war ana is concentrating her forces to resent the alleged insult. The indications are that Nicaragua de- sires war and may provoke war with Costa Rica, and that the latter is now about as anxious to fight Nicaragua as she has | heretofore been to prevent a war. The | receat revolution furnished evidence of widespread dissatisfaction, now intensifiea bv tbe chains and fines 1o which some men of prominence have been subjected, and it appears to have aroused and in- volvel Costa Rica. As the majority of the insurgents have gons into Costa Rica thev may soon again reappear well armed in Nicaragua to resume the struggle. Ex- President Cardanos has escaped into Costa Rica, and General Pais, the leader of the recent revoiution, has done the same. INGREASED QUTPOT OF YELLOW NETAL Yield of the Present Year the United States Is Esti- mated at $70,000,000. in Californlaand Colorado at the Head of the List of the Gold-Pro- ducing States. Special Dispatch to TrE CarLL CHICAGO, Icr., Oct. 1L—According to dispatches received by the Times-Herald from correspondents in the gold-produe- ing regions of the United States the gold yieid for 1897 is estimated at over $70,000,- 600. The dispatches show that the pro- duction has increased with marvelou: rapidity during the current year. . “Stories from California,” says the paper, ars of especial interest. “With over $20,000,000 of ‘the thing that gives man his hopes and his civilization’ Cali- tornia obscures the sensational placers of the Kiondike. This wonderful State has always held the foremost rank in the American union, but it wil be hard pushed this year by the Centennial State, even 1f it is not surpassed. Of the com- monwealth which will rival California a fair estimate cannot oe made, owing to the pecuiiar disabilities of Colorado as a distributing center. Colorado will pro- duce gold this year in quantities that it is impossible to estimate. {ts mines arc be- ing worked to their utmost capacity, and the yield for 1897 is estimated by con- servative men at $24,000,000.” Estimates are given as follows: Colora- do, $24.000,000; California, $20,000.000; Black Hills (four largest mines), $7.800, 000; Arizona, $6,500,000; Montana, 000; Idaho, $4,000,000; O.egon, $3, Total, $71,300,000. Washington, Wyoming, New Mexico and Nevaaa will also be heavy producers and their yield will be enormously in- creased, During 1897 it is estima‘ed the yield of the Klond:ke will be $8,000,000. Although on Canadian territory the district is freely spoken of as American. Counting this the yield tor 1897 wili exceed $80,000,000— one-third of the world’s estimated output for the year. e ENGAGE IN A BATTLE. 000, - 000,000. Settlers and Sheepherders Exchangs Shots and Three Men Are Killed. DENVER, Coro, Oct. 11.—A special to the Republican from Pocatello, Idaho, says: News just received from Long Val- ley, in Washington County, says that there has been a battle between the set- tlers and the sheepherders there, and that three men were kilied, one dangerously woundeu.’ Details are meager, but it seems that fifteen of the settlers warned the sheep men to leave the vailey, and when they refused made an attack upon the sheep camp. The first shot was fired by the set- tlers and a man named Barber was wounded. The sheepmen then returned the fire, killing three of the settlers. The rest of the attacking party flad, It is thought Barber will die. The trouble is the outgrowth of the strained relation« which have existed in thatsection between the settlers and sheepmen for some time, It has been no uncommon thing for stock to be maimed and haystacks to be burned and éven for settlers and sheep. men to exchang2 shots, but no one has heretofore been killed. Officers have left ‘Weiser for the scene of the trouble. S T TO ADFANCE DURKANI'S O©4aSE. attorney-General Fitzzerald Fopeots o Fiunal Determinattion Soon. WASHINGTON, D.
