"ENT CITY, Aug. 27.—The old Willow loon was the scene this aft- ernoon of a duel to the death between William Young, the proprietor, and Dwight Safford, a haif-breed Indian. | Safford lost his life and Young was se- | riously wounded. | Young and Safford were at the bar shaking dice for money. The latter, being considerably loser, accused Young of cheating, at the same time striking him on the face. There was an almost simultaneous reaching for | weapons, but Safford was the first to | shoot. Both men emptied their revol- vers as rapidly as - tBey could crook their trigger fingers. Both attempted | to reload, but suddenly Safford stag- | gered out upon the sidewalk and fell | dead. A bullet had entered his right | breast, penetrating the right ventricle of the heart, and another had passed | through his right thigh. Young was hit but once, the ball en- tering the left breast a littie above the.| heart and lodging back of the left arm. The extent to which his life is endan- gered has not vet been deterrgined. | An inquest held at 2 o'clock this aft- ernoon resulted in a verdict that the | killing was done in self-defense. | Not a word was spoken by either | party during the duel. Although ten | shots were fired, only three took effect. Those who witnessed the shooting say | that both men were cool and delib- erate.

Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Aug. 27.— For a long time it has been well known that oplum was being smugsgled into the prison regularly in small quanti- ties. The officials were not the only ones who possessed this knowledge, despite thelr strenuous iefdeavor to keep the news from the public. So notorious became the use of the drug by the eonvicts that many, relatives of | prisoners have protested {o theofficials. | 1t is known that in endeavoring to per- suade the Governor to pardon certain young men friends have stated that their lives were being wrecked by their acquiring the opium habit. But a discovery was made a few days ago showing that the extent of the evil had not even been suspected. ' It was believed by the officials that only a few of the more vicious characters were acting as peddlers of the drug, but it is now known that some of the best behaved and most trustéd prison- ers have been guilty of smuggling the contraband article through the prison gates. A few days ago the attention of S. L. Randolph, one of the inside guards, was attracted to the peculiar action. of cer- tain convictsquartered in what isknown as the “‘redroom,” a large cell In which about twenty-five men are confined. is underneath ‘“‘murderers’ row,” and all kept in it are “trusties.” A search of the cell revealed several pounds of opium concealed beneath a pillow, as well as $26 in coln. This opium and money. were the property of one Hefferman, who was always deemed an exemplary prisoner, but is now known to be what in prison par- lance is called an ‘“opium merchant.” The dungeon will be his abode until the case is disposed of by the prison board. It is belleved that the average quan- tity of oplum within the walls of the prison from week to week is about fifty pounds. PROGRESO’S PASSENGERS BRING KLONDIKE GOLD SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 27.—The steamer Progreso arrived here to-day from St. Michael with 300 passengers and a large amount of gold dust, the ad property of a few passengers. Purser Griffith claims that he carried $200,000 in his safe. Of this amount J. O. Ekers had $50,000. A quartet consisting of G. ‘W. Morgan, L. C. Sihler, J. A. Snow and George T. Snow had an equal amount. J. D. Racey had $28,000. Most of the Progreso’s pas- sengers were ‘“‘tenderfeet,” who were in Dawson but a short time. Captain Eagles and crew of the wrecked bark Guardian were also passengers. The captain of the Progreso reports that | the steamer South Portland is in the hands of the United States Marshal at St. Michael for the trifling amount of twelve barrels of whisky, which were missing from her cargo. The Pro- greso was attended by a heavy fog all the way down. Passengers of the Progreso state that there are between 200 and 300 men who have drifted down the Yu- kon River in small boats and rafts camped on the beach at St. Michael. They have no means to secure passage to the States. There was considerable talk among them of applying to the Government for rellef. i Hildreth Buys Een Hadad.

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 12.—Placer diggings, rivaling Bonanza and El Do- rado, creeks in richness, have been dis- covered within 100 miles in an air line from Juneau, and a stampede is now on, second in excitement to no other in the history of Alaska. Skaguay is al- most depopulated, and the small steamers which left this city this morn- ing for the head of Lynn canal were packed and jammed with ardent gold seekers bound for the new beds of gold. About latitude 60 and longitude 134 west lles a great lake named Atlin. It is just over the divide and wholly within British Northwest Territory. It is about midway due east between the Chilcoot Pass and Lake Teslin, the lat- ter the objective point of the aban- doned Stickeen River route. Lake At- lin is nearly 100 miles long and varies in width from two to twentv miles, ex- tending southwest and northeast, and is shown on the late maps. The re- glon is wild, hard to prosnect, and the lake is on the west border of a vast section of country totally unexplored and unknown. W. L. Weppler of Ju- neau, one of the first to make a loca- tion in the new diggines, has just come out from Lake Atlin for provi- sions. His story of the discovery shows the reward of patient prospecting in a region where the mosquitoes are said to be as large and hungry as last spring’s turkeys, and the water of the streams to run as swiftly as railroad trains. Fritz Miller, a brother of George Mil- ler, of the firm of Miller & McKinnon, proprietors of the Circle City Hotel of Juneau, has been prospecting in the Lake Atlin region this summer. Mil- ler went up Takou arm of Lake Ta- gish to its héad and then poled up At- lintoo River, a very swift stream, which is the outlét of Lake Atlin. He crossed the lake due east and started prospecting on the first creek he saw. He struck placer gold almost the first day on the surface and then went down into the gravel several feet in different places. The ground panied out from 40 cents to $12 in coarse gold and no bed rock in sight. s'ritz Mil- ler trimmed and located his stakes as he never worked before. ~When the burning sun dropped down behind the mountains that day he underwent that change of feeling which stirs in the breast of a man who suddenly finds himself at night the winner of a for- tune. Gravel which goes from 40 cents to $12 to the pan above bed rock means another El Dorado and Bonanza. This creek is known by the classic name cof Pine. How Dave Thompson missed a fortune on Pine Creek is the opposits in interest to how Miller made it. Thompson has been piloting boats through White Horse rapids during the rush of the open season. He knew Miller had gone up into the Atlin country and followed him. When he An all-aged maiden plate of 108 soverelgns was won by the Lorillard-Beresford stable's 2- year-old chestaut gelding Illogle, . - reached Atlinto6 River thé man he had with him quailed before the swift cur- rent, fearing that if they got up they SKAGUAY ALMOST DEPOPULATED BY A NEW STAMPEDE \Great Rush for Rich Placer Dig- gings in British Northwest Territory. Discoveries Near Lake Aftlin Cause a Vast Movement of Gold Seekers From Many Alaska Locations. might never get back and would starve to death, and he refused to go any far- ther. Thompson was forced to re- turn. Thompson s the miner who nearly laughed himself into a hemor- rhage last January in Juneau when he heard about a man who had under- taken to drive a flock of chickens into Dawson over the Dalton trail in the dead of winter. Nothing has ever been heard of the man or chickens since. Thompson is still alive, though not quite so fortunate as he might have been. The new discovery possesses in some respects the peculiarity of being a fam- ily affair. Fritz Miller kept the find a secret and came back to Juneau for more grub and to let his relatives and friends in on it. This was about three weeks ago. Weppler is married to a sister of the Millers. Dockie McKin- non, the two Millers, James McClusky, proprietor of the Arctic Hotel; Walter Carter and a man representing United States Deputy Marshal Staley, who was let into the secret, composed a party and announced they were going into Dawson. This diverted suspicion from their real objective point and enabled them to go across Lake Atlin and stake all the ground that the law allows be- fore they would let the secret out. But somehow the cat escaped from the bag. McClusky and Weppler returned yes- terday, and this morning the former is sprinkling the street with a hose in front of his place, surrounded by an eager crowd and trying to look as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. Where gold seekers are the news of a strike leaks mysteriously and spreads with the rapidity of a fire alarm In a great city. A stampede fol- lows like the rush of the engines and red helmets. When McClusky and ‘Weppler wege coming down Takou Arm several days ago on the way out they passed fleets of boats filled with ex- cited gold seekers, headed for the lake. This rush has only one predecessor. That was the rush to the Klondike. Every camp between Juneau and Tag- ish House is deserted. Men have left tents and cabins and hurried away with insufficient food and clothing, in many instances takipg hardly enough grub for the trip. hen the news got to Skaguay the whole town was electri- fled. It is the one engrossing tople of conversation. The stores kept open all night to supply the extraordinary de- mand for outfits. Everybody who can is already gone or preparing to go. The small steamers on the river below Lake Bennett have deserted Dawson and are carrying crowds up Takou The Kilbourne made a brave attempt to rin up Atlintoo River into the lake with her crowd of passengers, but could not proceed against the swift surrent. Men here and in Skaguay who can’t leave their business are rushing around in a state of excitement trying to find the right man to grubstake. A sack of gold from Pine Creek was brought out by Weppler and {8 being examined and much admired at Circle City. Men who came up the river from Dawson on the steamers on their way to their homes in the States have postponed the home trip and are flocking to Lake At- lin. Efforts were made to get the local newspapers of Skaguay and Juneau to suppress the news of the discovery, so that a certain few might get in and make locations before the stampede came. They might as well have tried to stop the wind as the news of a strike when a breath of it escapes. Steamers charge $20 each way from Lake Ben- nett to the mouth of Atlintoo. The Ora, Nora and Flora are other steamers on the run. They are working two crews and stopping neither night nor day. It is estimated that four thousand men are already on the creeks on the east side of the lake. At the head of the river on Lake Atlin a town has been staked out and named Takou City. Atlintoo River is about seven miles long. Steps are already being taken to construct a tramway along it. The 'site of Takou City is about eighty miles from Lake Bennett. A sawmill is being taken in. Lumber there is worth $1 per foot. Weppler says it took his party over nine hours | to get up the river, but that he and McClusky came down the seven miles with the current in eighteen minutes. The general opinion here is that Wep- pler's watch must have been so thrilled by exhilaration that it stopped several minutes on the way down. It is about twelve miles across the river to Discovery Creek and the creek it- self is about sixteen miles long. All the ground on it is said to be located by this time. .When the last party left 49 above Discovery had been lo- cated. The distance to Discovery is about five miles. It is all staked be- low. Frank Hinds, purser of the Flora, was one of the lucky ones in the early rush. He got a location and the first panful of dirt turned out $4 in gold about a foot below the surface. The Canadian police are already on the ground, Major Strickland in charge. Many of the Skaguay Rallroad hands have quit work and vamosed to the new diggings. Bed rock in the new strike is said to be five feet down. The Miller and McKinnon party took in five men to work the claims. Wep- pler says they were panning out $40 per day to the man. When sluices are built and all the preparations com- pleted for working the dirt the output per day to the man will be much larger. All reports to date agree in that a considerable area of very rich gravel has been found. The rule is that placer deposits become rich the farther they go down and that the maximum value is greatest at bed rock. The prospects on Pine Creek are just as favorable for fabulously rich dig- gings as they were at Discovery on Bonanza, El Dorado or any other trib- utarles of the Klondike River. Pulses which have beat on the even tenor of their way since the excitement first subsided over the Yukon are now leap- ing in the wrists and temples of all men up here who have two hands and a back strong enough to shovel gravel. There {8 another and a near route to Lake Atlin which promises to be- come a rival of the Lake Bennett way of getting there. It is up Takou In- let, ten miles below Juneau, then forty miles up the Takou River by steamer, twenty miles farther by canoe or small boat, and then over a portage of about twelve or fifteen miles by an Indian trail, whence it is about twenty miles of floating down Pike River to the head of Lake Atlin. Business men are considering the matter of putting on a small steamer to run from Juneau up the Takou River. By this route the distance to the lake is about 110 miles. This steamer may be put in commission if good reports continue to come out from the new mines. HAL HOFFMAN. STRUCK GOOD CLAIMS NEAR LAKE ATLIN SEATTLE, Wash,, Aug. 27.—News was received to-day of the big party of Germans who made a spectacular departure from New York last winter for Alaska. Peter Schramm, one of the party, who was recently at Juneau, re- ports that the party did not go to Daw- son, but drifted down to Lake Atlin, opposite Pine Creek, where they found gold in paying quantities.

Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. POINT ARENA, Aug. 27.—The mys- tery surrounding the tragic death of aged Mrs. Morse seems to grow deeper as the investigation proceeds. Mrs. Spaulding, against whom the finger of suspicion was first pointed, is now be- lieved to be innocent. Many citizens who accused her of having committed the erime and favored hanging her without the formality of a trial are now sorry that they spoke, so con- vinced are they of her innocence. A six-year-old girl named Minnie Bishop is likely to play an important part in unraveling the mystery. the daughter of Joseph Bishop, and is remarkably bright. She lives with her parents in a vine-covered cottage only a short distance from the house which was occupied by Mrs. Morse. According to her statement she went to the Morse residence the evening be- fore the tragedy. ‘While plucking flowers she was surprised to see James Downs, a blacksmith, leaving the house. She spoke to him and asked him to assist her in gathering a bou- quet. Downs, as she claims, took her after telling her that he was wanted She is | ADVERTISEMENTS.

I w ‘| erward I put on my coat and went for and was met at the door by his wife. Downs is married to a daughter of Le sharing the fate of his beloved parent. At the time at which, the child says, she saw Downs leaving the house of Mrs. Morse the aged woman was call- ing on Mrs. Downs. She remained about an hour and a half and then re- turned to her home. The following morning she partook of the poisoned mush which caused her death. As it is strongly believed that arsenic was | placed in the mush during the tem- porary absence of Mrs. Morse, Downs | will shortly be called upon to explain | his presence in her house. When confronted with the child’s | statement last evening, Downs at first | hesitated, but finally declared that she | was mistaken. | ‘“‘She did not see me,” he rather ve- | hemently remarked, “and I was not at | the house that evening, and I can| prove it by several reliable witnesses. I | do not want to say that the girl is tell- ing an untruth, but when she deelares | that she saw me leaving grandma’s house on the evening of the tragedy I | do’ claim she is greatly mistaken.

Feeling fatigued, I concluded to go to bed and | started for my home. -1 expected to | find Mrs. Morse there, but was sup- prised when my wife told me that she had left about fifteen minutes before I returned. “It is ridiculous to think that I would have gone to grandma’s house, know- ing that she was at my house. It is true I have been in the habit of calling at her house and was regarded as one of the family. It seemed so much like home to me that I did not think it necessary to knock on the door before I entered. She was like a mother to me, and why some people should sus- pect me of causing her death seems strange, to say the least.” Notwithstanding Downs’ denial this little girl is positive that he is the man whom she saw leaving the Morse resi- dence while she was plucking flowers. “I could not be mistaken,” she em- phatically said when told of the denial of the blacksmith. I know it was Mr. Downs, because he spoke to me. He wanted me to go to his house, but as I wanted to get some more flowers I told him I would see him later. After plucking a big bouquet I thought I would stroll down to his house and see his wife. Mr. Downs was there, and I | spoke to him, but did not mention our meeting in Grandma Morse's garden.” Captain Henry Tullner, who sat at the inquest over the body of the mur- dered woman, is convinced that Mrs. Morse was poisoned by one of her rel- atives. “I have made a thorough investiga. tion,” he remarked, “and have satisfied myself that no stranger committed the awful deed. Tt now seems that the poisoner will never be caught. I first | suspected Mrs. Spaulding, and wds in favor of having her arrested. Le Grande Morse would not tolerate such a course and I looked around for evi- dence upon which to base a warrant, but was unsuccessful.
