Great Falls, Mont, July Frank Moss, an old time miner In this sec tkm, who four years ago waa one of a party of Americans to first ivl.lt the Klondyke country, returned to and tells a story of horrors and seldom equalled In modern novels. He describes Klondyke aa a placer camp seven miles long and thirteen miles wide, located In a sink, walled in 'by boulders ot rok 3,000 feet high. Oold.

he says, abounds, but no ordinary man can stand the hardships ot the uncivilised region. When Moss left here four years ago he waa a sturdy fellow over six feet tall From hardships and privation he Is a cripple for life and badly 'broken In health. TWO THOUSAND OUAVES. In three years he saw over 2,000 xraves madejn the Klondyke baaln, a Jsrge majority dying from starvation The steamship companies bring In all food and allow jto private Importation, Consequently It Is not uncommon to go fox weeks with but a scant aupply and tjor days entirely without rood The gold brought In laat week to Seattle, Moss says, does not represent the findings of Individual shippers, but a large proportion was confiscated from the effects of those t.ooo miners who fell a prey to the hardships. At the death of man possessed of dust his body Is burled without a coffin, and the dust divided among those who care for him.

With proper reliefs established by the government. Moss says gold can be taken out at tbe rate of ,000,000 a month. 'J he richest section of Alaska, Moss says, Is yet undeveloped. It is 100 miles from Klondyke, and known aa the Illack Hole of Calcutta. It Is Inhabited by ex convicts of Bohemia, and murders and riots take the place of law and order.

A few months ago Klondyke organised a Justice committee, and Its law prevails there now. With the great crowds preparing to go to the scene now, Moea says hunger and suffering will be great when added to other hardships to be overcome by those who survive. Moss returned with 1(000 In dust, and leaves to morrow for his old home at Dubuque, Iowa, he will spend the balance of hla years. OHOWINa CONFIDENCE.

Immediately after the explosion an alarm ot fire waa sounded, but the fire was quickly extinguished and the firemen had little to do but assist and care for the Injured. The explosion waa probably caused the igniting of naptha vapor When the steamer returned from her New York trip to Burton Mead went aboard to slean up the forecastle and sprinkled the beds and mattresses with naptha and then left. The stevedores were eating on the "'supper deck" Just opposite the hold when the explosion took place, and the men were thrown In all directions against the woodwork.

The In. terlor of the dining room was completely wrecked. An examination showed the hull to be uninjured however. The officials are reticent as to the direct cause ot the explosion It waa first thought a deck hand went Into the hold to light hla pipe, and It la believed that the lighted match caused the naptha Vapor to explode.

July 23. Since the removal of the machinery and discontinuance ot work In the West Shore shops at Frankfort last spring, several conferences have been had between a committee ot Frankfort cltlxen and the officials ef the New York Central Railroad, The Frankfort people thought very properly that they had been badly used. They had subscribed 77 000 for the purchase of the land on which the shops were erected upon express understanding that they were to be operate for ail time. In the last two years the village had bonded Itself for a 11,000 schoolhou.e and 158 000 water works, expecting that the hundreds of men who worked In the railroad shops and who purchased lota and built houses would help par for the Improvements In taxes. The final conference war held with Chaun cey Depew by the members of the com.

mlttee and an agreement waa reached. The papers were prepared and late yesterday afternoon were read to the members of the committee. In a few momenta they were signed.

The Central Company also agrees to pay one third the bonded Indebtedness on the Frankfort water works, tit 000 and the total bonded Indebtedness on the new school building, which Is tlt.000, making a total of over IM.OOO.

This Is to he paid a the bonds fall due, and the railroad company will pay Interest upon them, aa It Is due. In case of breach ot contract a forfeiture amounUng to over 1100,000 Is to be paid to the village for damages. The buildings are admirably adapted for manufacturing purposes, being of modern build and very roomy. Rail road switches reach each one, fadC these are to be maintained by tue company If they ore needed. The committee will moke a formal report of the work accomplished at a publlo meeting this evening.

It will be one of the moat enthuslastlo gathering! ever held In that village, for It Is the general opinion that the Central Company has taken an honorable course.
