At Stony Bar, below Chile Bar. there are three different companies em- ploving twelve men.—Mountain Democrat, Senator Voorhels and John Ross Jr. of Sutter and F. I. Thomas of the Gwin mine are said to have bonded the old Havillah mine, near Nashville in El Do- rado County, and will deveion the prop- erty on the same plan as the Lincoln, at Sufter. The gentlemen expect to exten the Crawford ditch to a point west of Nashville, by doing which they will have a fall of 500 feet or more. The difficulty in working this mine heretofore has been the lack of cheap power, which the new company intends to supply as above stated. The Baltic mine, El Dorado County, has been bonded to a pumber of San Fran- cisco capitalists and active operations will be commenced at once. Machinery for the mine has already been purchased, and J. H. Bradley, who is one of the interested parties, has been in town this week ar- ranging for the shipment of the plant.— Mountain Democrat.

Noonan, 1017-1023 Misston, The | LITTLE GOLD FROM DAWSON Return of the Leelanaw Almost Bare. BROUGHT NINE PASSENGERS HUNDREDS OF MINERS HELD AT ST. MICHAELS. The Overdue Steam Schooner Del Norte and Her Tow of Five Barges Are Safe at Kodiak. The Alaska Exploration Company steamer Leelanaw arrived from St. Mich- ael yesterday with nine passengers. Very few people came down the river while she was north and very few went up. The Brixham, Progreso, Rufus E. Wood and a number of other vessels had their pas- sengers still aboard when the Leelanaw sailed and the prospects were very poor for any of the gold hunters getting to Dawson this season. Hundreds of men were stranded and about St. Michael. According to their contracts with outside companies they should have been carried to Dawson, but owing to the. fact that nearly all the river steamers that started from Saf Franclsco, Portland and Puget Sound for the Yukon have been wrecked there is no means of fulfilling the agree- ment. A few of the gold hunters have gone up the river on the steamers of the Alaska Commerclal Company, North American Trading and Transportation Company and Alaska Exploration Com- pany, but the great majority are hoping against hope that something will turn up by which they may reach Dawson with- out a further expenditure of money. Among those who came back on the Leelanaw are Mrs. and M Quisenberry, The former went to Dawson last fall and his wife went north on the Leelanaw and met him at St. Michael. Mr. and Mrs. Tod Smith met at St. Michael under ex- actly the same circumstances as Mr. and Mrs Quisenberry. W. A. Cummings has spent fifteen years in Alaska. He and his partner, “Charles Wooge, brought down 325,000 in dust with them. E. L. Hemmingway and W. W. Turney went in over the Chilkoot Pass and came out on the first steamer that went down the river. One week in Dawson was all they wanted. Mr. Turney says there will be work for half the people that are In Dawson this winter, and that the hardships will be very grea The river steamers and barges that T. H. Whitelaw went north on the Sin- tram to buifld were not completed when the Leelanaw was at Dutch Harbor. They will be finished in time for the steamer to tow them to St. Michael on her next trip. Nothing had been heard of the Mo- ran fleet of ten stern wheel steamers since they were spoken in distress in Yakatat Ba The people at St. Michael never ex- pect to see one of then They were all o of them unsea- ccording to the officers of the When two days out from St. Michael the Leelanaw passed a wafer-logged | stern wheel steamer. What vessel it was | and what steamer lost it could not be ascertained. The old bark Huxier, which | left here June 7 for Kotzebue Sound, had arrived at St. Michael and was to con- | tinue her journey on July 23, The steamer Dal Norte, which left Seat- tle for St. Michael with five barges in tow, is 1 right.

PIERCE’'S REMEDIES A SPANISH WOMAN'S TER- RIBLE EXPERIENGE. The Difference Between Spain’s Brutality to Women and Anglo-Saxon Humanity. Among all the incidents of the Span- ish-American war, one of those which best illustrate the Spanish character is | the story of a wealthy woman refugee driven from Santiago by fear of bombardment returning again to find her home and property pillaged and destroyed by soldiers of her own race and blood. Imagine, if you can, such an occur- rence in an American or an English “NO WONDER THAT SPANISH R EFUGEES SEEK AMERICAN PRO- TECTION.” army! Imagine any one uf the hun- dred inhumanities and atrocities to- ward women which characterize the | Spanish race being duplicated under | the rule of an Anglo-Saxon nation! Impossible! No wonder so many frightened refu- gees look upon the American army as their delfverance from the hands of a | brutal and inhuman mob. The way a nation treats its women is the mark of its standing among the | world of nations, and shows in an in- stant its state of civilization or of sav- | agery. | THE AMERICAN SENTIMENT. Americans exalt their women as the | better part of the nation, and render | them such true, devoted homage as | womankind receives in no other coun- try in the world. It is not mere lip-service nor the shal- low gallantry which parades itself in fine phrases and extravagant compli- ments.

The Yukon River Steambort Companv has chartered the steamer North Fork from the Johnson-Locke Company and will send her to St. Michael in place of the Grace Dollar. T'he North Fork was fitted out to carry soldiers to Honolulu, and will make a good boat for the Klon- dike trade. She will get away elther to- night or Monday, and will connect at St. Michael with the river steamer Alviso. Its Efforts Appreciated. Hugh Cralg, president of the Chamber of Commerce, has received a letter from 0. Knox of Council Bluffs, Towa, thank- ing the chamber for the efforts recently made to have the troops moved from Camp Merritt to the Presidio reservation. About two weeks ago the chamber sent to the President of the United States a long dispatch setting forth the unhealth- ful conditions of the camp and the evil results of having the soldiers remain there. The petition was copled by papers all over the country and one of these fell into the hands of Mr. Knox, who has a son who is a member of Company L of the Fifty-first Towa. —_—ee—————— Federal Prisoners Sentenced. United States District Judge de Haven vesterday marning passed sentence upon two persons, who had pleaded gullty to Federal indictments. Mrs. C. A. Clement of Stockton was sentenced to pay a fine of $200 or to be lmFrllnned in the Alameda County Jail until the fine shall have been paid. * Mrs. Clement has no money or other property and she will be released at the end of thirty days’ Imprisonment. Her offense was the sending through the mails of immoral medical advertisements Alexander Cummings, for counterfeit- ing, was sentenced to eighteen months’ imprisonment at hard labor in the San Quentin Penitentiary. A flne of $200 was imposed also. haps unkind. What should be the de- light and comfort of domestic life is embittered and sometimes almost de- stroyed through mutual ignorance of the great fundamental facts which con- trol and color the woman’s physlcal life. Should there not be a more thorough confidence and frank understanding be- tween husbands and wives and between mothers and daughters on this all im- portant subject? Ought not every one concerned to make this problem of re- pairing the physical capacity, upon which all other capability depends, the foremost object of their earnest solici- tude? The kindest of husbands cannot fully sympathize with what he does not un- derstand. However terribly a woman suffers she hates to be complaining of {ll-health all the time; she hates to ac- knowledge that she has any weakness of this nature. If she calls in the doc- tor, nine times in ten the inexperienced local practitioner does not diagnose the trouble correctly. He prescribes for liver disease or heart-weakness; or he may say: ‘““Your nerves and stomach need a little toning up; that's all.” He will seldom recognize the fact that the real trouble is in the organs distinctly feminine, the special, intricate and sen- sitive structure which fits a woman for wifehood and motherhood. WHY WOMEN HESITATE. ‘When a sgensitive modest woman once fairly realizes the cause of the con- tinual aches and pains that are sapping her vitality and making her life a fail- ure, one of the first thoughts that come to her is a dread of the mortifying questioning, examinations and local ap- plications which doctors so uniformly insist upon; and it seems to her almost as if it were better to endure her con- stant pains and miseries than submit to this embarrassing ordeal.
