She is here waiting fo the return of her husband, whom she ex-| pects to come out by the 1st of mext month. She has no news at all of h financial embarrassments, and places little credence in the reports on whi vester- day’s dispatch was founded. The diepatch | states, in the first place, that McDonald | has been in the Klondike twenty years, while, as a matter of fact, he has not been there half that time. Tn recent letters to his wife McDonald made no statements as to the possible fil- ing of insolvency papers, and gave the de- cided impression that his business was in Two of McDonald's princ pal backers in recent schemes, Messrs.

VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 11.—E. Mermen, who has just returned from Dawson, con tradicts the statement that Alexande: McDonald has filed a notice of insolvency in the Dawson courts. He is a personal friend of McDonald, and says there is not the slightest ground for the statement. The day before he left one of McDonald’s mule trains came in from Bonanza with from 150 to 20 pounds of gold dust. His check is good for an almost limitless sum in apy of the banks of Dawson, and the big fellow is richer to-day than he ever was in his life.

One of the most venture- | some trips to its smoking summit was made by A. M. Atherton, who returned to | Honolulu the day the Miowera sailed for | Vancouver. Atherton is a photographer, | ent out with Professor Bickmore of the | Department of Instruction of the State | of New York. Atherton and Bickmore rode to within | six miles of Pele’s shrine, and then Ather- ton commenced his wonderful trip. He actually climbed to within a few feet of | the top of the mountain—the first man to get that close to the flery outlet. He was surrounded by little jets of steam and the rocks were so hot as to mak®e it almost impossible to stand on them. { Atherton obtained some spiendid photo- graphs, some of which are now on their | way to San Francisco. His photographic | tripod was nearly burned in his effort to obtain a good picture of the mouth of the crater. W. A. Welbourne, one of the Miowera's passengers, 's that the volcano at| Mokuaweoweo continues to be very active. | For a few days it was impossible to get a glimpse of Hilo, but on the night the ves- sel left the smoke cleared and a magnifi- cent view of the glow was to be had. There was a grand display of fountains from the crater. Vast columns of lava could be seen thrown from the center of the crater high into the air, to fall again into the sides of the cone and rush madly | down sides in fiery streams. These | fountains vary from 200 to 50 feet In height and are plainly vistble thirty miles away. Most of the natives anywhere near the base of the mountain have moved | away, and there is no immediate danger to any one in the neighborhood, although there 1s no telling when a second of the mountains fn the district will break out again.
