discoveries ot the yellow metal in she Klondike region in Alaska The Alaska Commercial simmers will not ible tn carry a tenth ot the hordes now pre paring to start tor the frozen gold fields Great processions Ot men and some romen have been filing In and out of the itoamsblp offices asking particulars about a ansportatlon and routes It is estimatedhat noW people will start from San ram'is towards Alaska before August rom th ports ot Puget Sound as many more will em fftrk Tacoma reports that men ot wealthn that city are forming syndicates and ail vanclng grubstakes with the understanding i that the men whu do the work are to receive' calf ot the gold they secure These syndl rnt js are made up of from tun to twenty men ind each one signs a contract to receive hUshare of the proceeds Each party win seat rer on reaching tho placers and It Is esti mated that nt least tw out ot each party of uen will strike it rich and bring the average 'of all up to net loss than 10000 To Charter a Steamer I The biggest scheme ot nil Is to chartar the Northern Pacific steamer City ot Seattle provision her and load her down with all sorts of goods suitable tor use In the ar North It Is proposed to send the vessel up the Yukon Elver ns far as possible aud to utilize her during the Winter as headquar ters for the Tacoma colony All the exper I lenced Yukon miners Insist that those who 1 venture Into the Klondike country must have i at least one yaar'e tf provisions but such warnings are not heeded by many who are only anxious to get into the gold fields I and then trust to luck to make a living Ml classes of eonle are lolning the cold hunt ers out street car empwyi es ana poiummeu take the lead In point of numbers Ono capi talist who proposed paying men85 a day and meet all their necessary expenses besides di viding enruluga with them was overwhelmed with applicants and had to withdraw his Offer It is leaking out that many who returned last Spring from Klondike were careful not to give true version of the wealth ot the country Maps of Alaska are in demand The center of the new gold region Is nut within Alaskan territory but forty miles are not much on a map aud thousands of pros pective adventurers on tho Coast are studying the somewhat uncertain lines and charts that will serve to guide fortune bunt i ers Into the far Northwest TTHj kf fha E' zv! ui I nvlkfi itz1 of gold dust has dispelled some of the hazy notions of this distant Yukon region which generally has been regarded as a dreary suc cession of Jmpassalle snow mountains und Illimitable ice prairies The gold huutors who returned with fortunes tell of a country rich not alone tn minerals but in variety ot climate and resources It Is nut an endless I fee carnival up there There are two mouths I of sunshine and Summer There are trees and berrlus and flowers und where cultiva tion of the soil has been attempted accord ing to tne requirements or tnat ututuue ir has been successful Nevertheless tho dan gers from cold aud famine are great and the menace of snow toe and tho relentless Winters will have a restraining influence on the exodus Reports ut Rapid Wealth The arrival ot the steamer Portland with 4700 tWO tn gold and a second party of the miners Is taken as full confirmation ot the stories of the richness of the mines Ou the other band it accentuates the question many will usk before deciding to In rest 4500 to 41000 In the dangerous northern trip The i question is are so many of the miners returning with fortunes assmall as 810000 Or 425000 it there is such a wealth ot gold that anybody may obtain? Tbeso miners might have all ayed and became million aires judging by their own descriptions be fore the people In this part ot the continent had a chance to get there Of cour a some have given good reasons for coming away so early some are going buck and ail have brought gold enough to force tho sceptics into admission tnat tne discovery on Klondike must have been a rich one Michael Dass a German market gardener who has rest kd In Roanoke and vietiilty the past eight years committed suicide his resldencs a short distance south ot Roan oks by shooting himself tn the head with ft revolver Brabokor a neighbor beard the shot and went at ouce to Daze's house where be found him lying unconsci ous on the floor with a bul let wound in bls forehead and a revolver at bta side He was slxty eevun years old and had no relations in this country except his brother family at Harrlsbnrg Ta A note was found on the floor signed Daso which read: I me In a pln box and place on the hill and no preaching" The verdict of the coroner's jury was Io accordance With the above facts i The deceased had been very despondent tor somo time George Saddler a young farmer of Ches tertleld county was attacked and beaten al I most to death At the time ol 'the assault Saddler was 'asleep In bis wagon His as sailants it Is alleged were colored num Saddler and some other cenntrymen had brought produce to town to sell and were spending the night under a shad Several colored men have been arrested charg'd with the assault At tho requestor eftizons of Alexandria county Representative RIxey fcf this dis trict Is making an effort to secure such action ou tho part of the United States gov ernment ns will devote the COO or more acres of the Arlington truck unrsed to cx I erimental farms nailer tho c*ntrol of ths Agricultural Department Among tho projects suggested in 'Alexan dria county Is an extension of the Washing ton Arlington slid alls Church Electric Railway from Arlington to Seminary Hill near Alexandria the crossing at our MR run to be made near Station It Is not known how soon an effort will be mads to put this project into execution Mr Claron Noel?
