2 gold, and considerable has not yet been marketed. There has been a good deal of discussion aboui the value of the Klondyse gold, and report has been made that more was paid for it in Seattle than here. What was bought there was bought without assaying, the quantity was small and such transactions settle no values. The miners who have returned are generally disappointed at not getting uniformly at least an ounce, and some are waiting lor the Mint to reopen August 1. Secretary TJnderhill of the Selby Smelting Company states what is not generally known tbat they pay just as much for unrefined gold as does the Mint, although they are running a enterprise, and explains hew this is.

Mr. Underbill made the following interesting report on the Klondyke gold in an interview- yesterday: "We have received about $750,000 worth of the gold. It has come mainly from Bonanza and El Dorado creeks. Bonanza Creek gold it worth about $17 an ounce, and that seems to have governed the price up there in trading. The cold from El Doraao Creek varies from $14 75 to about $16, the most valuable coming, it seems, from the upper portions of the creek, three miles above the mouth.

That reported to come from the lower part is about 750 fine, carrying about one-fourth silver. "Bonanza Creek dust is better and Is nbout like some of the lower grade California dust. The bulk of tbe California gold coming from tho regions of the mother lode and the northern part of the State runs from $17 50 to $19 an ounce, bearing from one-tenth to silver. Any quantity of it runs $13 and $18 50 an ounce. "In Kern and Fresno counties and some other sections of the State the silver brings it down to $12 or $13 an ounce.

The best Bonanza Creek dust brought in to us is worth as it is $17 an ounce. Here is a sample statement of a deposit of Klondyke gold: Net value, $15 50 per ounce; weight before melting, 201570 ounces; weight after meltinsz, 1960.70 ounces; fineness, 767H? value of gold, $31,107 68; value of silver, $253 22; charges, $120 75; net value, $31,240 15. "It is the popular idea that we buy gold. We buy nothing. We pay the actual vain of the bar less the regular charges of 6 cents an ounce for refining and the alloy charge of .01 of 1 percent, or $1 on $10,000.

These are the same as the Mint charges on unrefined gold. When gold is deposited with us we receive.it, melt it into a bar, chip from the bar and assay. We thus determine the actual value of the bar, and payment is made within twentyfour hours. "When gold is taken to the Mint it is melted, assayed and paid for that way. The gold is sent to the refiner and the Mint charge of 6 cents an ounce is made to pay for the refining.

The alloy charge pays for the copper alloy for coinage. We refine the gold and our gold goes direct to the coiner, wi.h only the alloy charge against it. Our profit is what we save out of the refining charge of 6 cents an ounce. "The idea that the gold could bring more elsewhere than in San Francisco is absurd. I understand that one or two Seattle houses bought some goid without assaying at a little higher pric than we paid, but unless they got the best gold from Bonanza Creek they will lose on it." Those who can't get to El Dorado Creek may console themselves wiih the knowledge that it is low-grade stuff anyway.

STUDENTS ARE ANXIOUS. Uneasiness Concerning Football Captain Haskell and Sprinter Barnes. BERKELEY, July The stu dents at the State University, especially the football men, have begun to display some considerable uneasiness over the continued silence of Captain Robert Haskell of the varsity eleven and Track Manager Barnes, who left Berkeley early in May lor the Alaskan gold fields. Not a word has been heard trcm either of them Coach Charles Nott and Manager Brown. When the two young athletes left they said they would return in plenty of time for the opening of the fall terra.

College be gins in a little over two weeks, nnd the services of Haskell are much needed to organize both the football and the track teams. While it is believed that they will either return very soon, or that they will send some message telling of their plans, yet the fact that they have not written and that they are in such close proximity to the Klondyke gold fields leads many to believe they have caught, the fever and gone up tiie Yukon. As stated in tbe original announcement in The Call the young athletes are supposed to have first gone to the bie Treadwell mine for work and study. Word from them is awaited with fervent anticipation. Hansford Griffith, the university student, lawyer and miner, who is at the head of a scheme to raise $10,000 by taxng twenty men $500 each and sailing for the Klondyke region next spring, has succeeded in interesting quite a number of local as well as San Fraucisco business men.

Those who have signified their willingness to join the expedition are: Ed Asquith, J. C. O. Burbanfc, Taylor Frank, Judge W. H.

Gentry, J. R. Summer, F. C. Reynolds.

L. M. BanKentsky, Henry Ohmsett, R. A. Curry, John E.

Boyd. A. B. Quackenbush, J. O.

Hutton. F. P. Pauli, F. C.

Jones, J. C. Berry, A. H. Bauerle and Herman Lucken.

In the party will be a lawyer, a sea captain, a tailor, a watchmaker, a blacksmith, a cook, an engineer, two sailors, two farmers and a pilot. They will meet next Tuesday evening to elect officers and make formal plans for the expedition. A GRADUATE'S LETTER. Assayer Janes Describes Thing's and Tells cf the Low-Grade Gold. The Mining and Scientific Press publishes a second letter from B.

E. Janes, a graduate of tbe College of Mines of the University of California, who is now assaying and mining in the Klondyke. Ha has caused a good deal of "kicking" among miners on account of low values he placed on the gold. What he writes on this point agrees with the statement of Secretary Underhill of the Selby Smelting Works, published elsewhere. The letter, dated June 22, is as follows: Bonanza and El Dorado creeks have turned The Little Gasoline Launch Hettie That Is to Be Turned Into a Steamer and Will Start With a Party of Miners for Dawson City the First Week in out very much better than any one expected, i Probably $800,000 has already been taken out.

They will likely turn out many millions. Gold oust is very plentiful a id common now. Every one has plenty Dawson is a very lively camp. About 1000 men (che-cka-kers) have come in so far. Most of tne rich men here now were new men last year.

Mr. Lippy, of whom 1 have written before, has done about the best. Last fall he hadn't money enough to pay his store bill. He came down last uight and is coing out to-morrow. He has with him over 200 pounds in acer dust.

Behides, he has left sufficient lor running his claim for the next year and paid the expenses of the past labor $1 50 per which makes tbe expenses very high. His claim Is No. 16, El Dorado. There are about thirty or thirty-five 500---foot claims on El Dorado which will average about tbe same as his. From 4, 5 and 6, El Dorado, a man named Berry has taken out over $100,000.

On BanaDza there are located ISO claims. Halt or two-thirds of them have an average market value of $15,000 to $30,000. A short time ago a man bought a claim for $4500. He set some men to rocking and they took out several hundred to $1000 a day each, and he was able to make his payment all right. A clnim four numbers below mine told for $10,200 to a man who hadn't any money.

When ti.e payment became due. which was not In very many days, he sold a half interest for $10,000 cash and met his payment, keeping the dump which had been taken out during the winter containing about $5000 net. A man on El Dorado has a claim from which jhe has taken $20,000. He is now ready to sluice and expects it to yield $1000 per day to each man he employs, which will mean several hundred thousand dollars this season. The other buys who worked in the store have done very well.

Stauf quit in February and has property worth tens of thousands, and has more money to handie than any other man here. Baker, who is still in the employ of the company, sold his interests for $7000 or $8000. One mun has been buying very heavy. He owes over $100,000, to be paid very soon, but his original claim on El Dorado is expected to pay $30,000 to a box 2 leet. I could not believe it till I came up here and saw the amount of gold and handled it.

The company lost a steamer this spring. The Arctic, which I came up on last year, wintered near Forty Mile. The water fell very fast in the river after the ice went out and left the steamer high and bry on big blocks of ice in a slough, where the ice had pushed her. In trying to get her out powder was used to break the ice underneath her aim one charge blew her up -that is, loosened the ice suddenly and subjected her to severe so, that the bottom leaked very badly. The water began to rise and ra's-'d very last.

Finally it got high ana the current so strong through the slough that it carried the boat out into the river and she stranded on a bar a mile and a half farther down. Tney have left the hull there, but taken out the machinery and sent it down to be put into a barge. The Bella, a boat built last summer, arrived at Forty Mile June 1, having wintered at Fort Yukon, about eighty miles below Circle City. She hud a fair cargo of provisions, which were taken to Dawson, arriving here the 2d, since which time the receipts have been over $40,000. On June 16 the steamer Alice arrived at Forty Mile, having wintered at Androsky near the mouth of the river, about 300 miles this side of St.

Michaels. She brought a good many provisions and other articles. I came up on her to Dawson with my outfit. Labor ls $1 per hour here, and scarce. Building material THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1897.

ALBERT R. SHfpPEY, One of the Yukon Miners. is bard to get, and so the store buildings are progressing siowly. lam working in the store at present, receiving the dust for the sales. It keeps me very busy sometimes.

Yesterday the sales were $4500. To-night I weighed up a shipment of over ,2000 ounces to go by the Alice to-morrow. Our safe is almost as full as it can be and contains about $150,000 to $200,000, deposited In small and large lots for safekeeping. Heretofore all gold has been taken at $17 per ounce. With the dirt end all In it it won not average quite I have made twenty-three assays ot the placer gold so far.

The gold in this district is much lower than in the others, some not goingsl4, dirt and all. For drafts or currency we pay only $15 25 for it. The miners don't like it and think I must be wrong. The other day a man who went out in the winter took out dust which contained El Dorado gold. He got $17 10 per ounce after it was melted.

As soon as the miners heard it they were tickled to death and knew I was wrong. When I met the man I iound out the gold included a good deal of Forty Mile gold, and $17 10 after melting is only equnl to about $16 50 before, so I think assays I made will stand, though made on small samples. Every day there is a stampede for a new creek. Every little stream for miles around will be located. This country will pay to tie to for money-making.

It has been but little prospected. EXPERT IDEAS. Louis Janin, the Mining Engineer, Talks Off-Hand of the Yukon Region. Intelligent, expert accounts of the Yukon gold deposits, from the standpoints of geology, mineralogy and mining engineering, are sadly lacking. Tbe untutored prospectors who went in poor have found gold and proved the surpassing richness of the That is what the prospector is for.

He is the hardy pioneer, and rcience and capital do and must wait on his wanderings and bis sacrifices. It is nice that on the Yukon the prospector is getting a share of the rewards of which is what he doesn't very often get. The expert isn't worth a continental to find where the gold is, but the mining engineer is the man that must step in when the simple miner with his shovel and pan has got through with bis excitement and skimmed off the placer cream. The mining engineer will not have much I to do with the Klondyke diggings for a while, unless capitalists should buy a bunch of until the 50-cents-a-pan dirt is all that is left to be easily got out. Then he will be hired, and will show the difference between miners' pans and large engineering operations.

He will, however, attend to the early development of any quartz ledges that are revealed by the host of prospectors that have broken loose on the country. This is the field reserved for the mining operator and the mining engineer in Alaska. One of the most successful and widely known mining engineers of California talked off-hand about the Yukon a little yesterday. He is Louis Janin, who conducted important operations in South Africa for London capitalists. "No mining engineer could tell you anything of much value about the Kiondyke region from the newspaper reports and the tales of unobservant prospectors," said Mr.

Janin. ''I don't know anything about any of the problems involved. I have never found anything described correctly in limes of excitement. That bedrock which is to broken ud in places, and in the of which the gold is said to be mainly found, is probably a slate. When it was nearer the surface it was soaked with water in summer and frozen in winter, and the repeated freezing and thawing broke it up, allowing the gold washed down to settle through it.

to tho existence of quartz veins we can only reason by analogy here. The ranges have probably been eroded several hundred or a thousand feet below what they once were. Those gulches were probably worn down along natural faults. The gold has come from veins and pockets In wbat has been worn away. The present contour of the mountains may possibly be a thousand feet lower than they once were, hence it does not necessarily follow that any remaining veins are rich.

Tate Carson Hill, Nevada. There seven or eight millions were taken out of the placers, but the veins found above were never particularly rich. There was one pocket hut was supposed to have yielded $1,500,000. though. "Sometimes there are many small veins and disintegration brings down the gold.

I don't Know the country and lit may be that these deposits are largely due to glacial action and may bi small terminal moraines. lam told by a gentleman who has received a letter from there that a quartz ledge eight feet wide and running $100 to the ton has been found, but I have no opinion about it. "Without doubt there will be a large development ot quartz mining through ihe Yukon region. The natural expectation is to hear of the discovery of good quartz veins. They have wood and water, with freezing as the great obstacle.

But in the Black Hills they mine with thermometer at 40 below. These difficulties of cold weather, costly transportation, difficulty of prospecting, and so on, have been tackled over and over is high, but on the Comstock freighting cost 16 cents a pound ana there were many problems to solve. The moss and the frozen ground will not stop prospectors. It was thought tbat the Black Hills could never be prospected, they were so covered with dead wood and so on, and in British Columbia there is a thick growth of tangled underbrush that would appall anybody but an indefatigable prospector. "It is hard to guess what they have up there.

As to stories of strange formations we always hear them from new fields. They come from imperfect observation and miners don't observe. Henry Bratnober, who has gone in, will understand the situation at a glance and so will others who will go there. "I don't know what problems will confront competent mining men when the time comes, but one occurs to me where are they going to put all this material they wash out without great sacrifice? I understand that now they scout anything going less than 10 cents to the pan anu often even 50 cents to the pan. Ten cents a pan is $100 to the ton, and down here we gladly work gravel yielding 10 cents to the ton.

But the question will always be. Is there gold enough to pay the cost of getting it out? At the Alaska-Tread well mine, on the coast, the cost of mining and milling the ore is less than $1 50 a ton and is expected to become $1. Tne average cost in California is $5 to the ton. The problem will be the same up there as prospectors find the gold." TAKE THESE ALONG. The Holland Outfit for the Overland Gold Crusade.

A Varied Outfit for a Year for a Little More Than Two Hundred Dollars. A man who believes that too much dough is not good for the digestive organs even in Alaska, where hunger is so sharp that it can eat rawhides, has prepared the following schedule for an outfit of eatables sufficient ior a twelvemonth supply for one man: Article. Pounds. Sugar (white granulated) 60 Bacon (the tatiest. to be 400 Beans (red, Mexican or 151) Hour IbO Dried sweet corn sj Kolled oats 50 Dried fruit 60 soup vegetables '20 Dried rea chili peppers 10 Tea or coffee 1..

The fruit will treble in weight. This will give a man nearly four pounds of solid food per plenty to eat for a year and in good variety, besides being very cheap. Roughly estimated the cost will be as follows: Sugar $3 60, bacon $40, beans $4, flour $3 50, sweet corn $5, oats $1 75, fruit $5, vegetables $1 50, peppers $1 '25, tea or coffee $10 50, salt 25 cents, matches 60 cents; total, $77 25.

Estimating the ireight at 15 cents per pound the total cost of buying the provisions and getting them in there will be $157 50 plus $77 25, or $234 75. Clothing, hardware, wilt swell this cost in proportion to its price and weight. THE KLONDYKE FEVER. John W. Muther Is Going There.

Doj-fs Much in Demand Now. ALAMEDA, July John W. Mother, the auctioneer, is the latest man to announce his intention of going to Klondyke to mine. "If I can get away by the "Ist of August," said he this morning, "I shall most certainly go. I believe it is too good a chance to miss.

There will be thousands of people there next spring and the man who will have the chances is the man who goes un now and spends the winter there." The KiondyKe fever is the cause of a singular demand, which exceeds the market supply. The men going up there want dogs for sledge use and there are few to be had. As a result the poundmasters of San Francisco. Oakland and Alameda have been importuned for dogs. The dogs in demand are those over eighteen inches in height, and the men who want them are scouring tne country for those which answer their demands.

LIFE AT DAWSON. It Is Describ-d by a Paper at Juneau. The following description of life at Dawson was clippped from the Alaska Miner, published in Juneau, July 10, 1597: is not bui'nlng as rapid! as one would think. The difficulty is in obtaining lumber. The poorest kind of rough lumber sells at $130 a thousand.

Slabs are 50 cents each and sawdust 10 cents a sack. Harry Ash moved his dancing establishment ircin Circle to Dawson. He has plenty of wet foods. The first night he opened he took in $2500. The programme consists ot darning and drinking.

A miner dances with one ot the fair ones, and after the dan 28 he escorts her to the bar and buys her a drink and takes one himself. For this luxury he pays 50 cents a drink. Miners are generous, and one drink with them means many more, so that money being very free, Hows freely, It is said of McUormack, the discoverer of the Klondyke, that he Spends $50 at a treat. Being quite a conspicuous character, he attracts attention, and as he is very susceptible to flattery, it takes very little to induce him to buy drinks for every one who happens to be in the house at the time. SOURCE OF ALL GOLD.

Novel Theory Expounded by Dr. William O'Neill, the Peralta Postmaster. BERKELEY, July William O'Neill, the Peralta Postmaster, who is widely known in Alameda County, has a novel theory regarding the source of the gold being found in Alaskan fields- He says tbat the natural home of all metals is at the poles, and that they were drawn thence ages ago by magnetic attraction. "The California and Siberian mines are simply the tailings from the north pole filtered In past centuries through the strata of the earth to the places where they were discovered, while the gold of South America, South Africa and Australia has filtered from within tbe Antartic circle." In support of his theory he states that gold becomes more plentiful as the poles are approacbed. Relief From Corns.

They are not troubled with tight shoes and corns on the Yukon in winter at least. If one is up there and is fashionable lie will have a pair of moosehide moccasins "a mile too big." When he "nuts on his shoes" be will first swathe his feet in pieces of blanket to a thickness of from one to two inches and then put on his moccasins. Your moosehide mittens will be lined with blanket cloth or else put on over a pair of thick woolen ones, and when he goes out he will put on bis "parkie," very likely. That is a big overcoat witn a huee enveloping hood, and it is best made of furry moose hide. Ho, for Alaska! Klondyke District.

The South Ends Will Begin Building a Handball Court To-morrow Morning. if or tbe past week boating has been very quiet at the South Ends' quarters, as most of tne oarsmen are out of town. Last Sunday morning very few boats left the clubhouse, as most of the boys assisted Ed Scully and Captain Thomas in laying the foundation for tne new handball court. Captain Thomas has completed the platform for the punchin'g-bag and will now devote all his attention to the erection of the handball court. Last week Mr.

Thomas gave an order for $200 worth of lumber, and all the members who are able to use a hammer and saw are expected at the boaihouse to-morrow morning at 9 o'clock to lend their assistance in the construction of the court. Mat Breen, captain of the new senior crew, sprained his ankle some weeks ago, but is now rapidly recovering and will soon be able to resume bis old position in the boat. John Mahoney and a party of friends made several moonlight excursions during the past week to the battle-ship Oregon. To-morrow morning the junior and senior crews will visit the Dolphins. On next Tuesday evening the newly elected officers will be in-tailed and preparations will he made for the next regatta.

Late last evening Frank Cuneo, residing at 511 Seventh street, while riding his bicycle on Folsom street, between Nineteenth and Twentieth, was run into hy a westbound electric car. He suffered a severe contusion of the left hip and shoulder. Cunco was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where his wounds, which are not dangerous, were treated by Dr. Rodgers.

Flames Cause a Loss of $5000 in Eobart's Sutter-Street Building, No Explanation or Theory as to How Either Started Oan Be Given. Last night about 9:30 o'clock the sailors of the British ship Falls of Dee, which has been discharging her cargo for several at seawall No. 3, were startled from their bunks by a cloud of smoke that seemed to poor through the vessel irom a raging inferno in the hold.

The men of the sea made baste to desert the ship and sound the alarm by voice as well as through box 355. The latter proved the mora fruitful course and in a short time four engines had answered the call. The work of the firemen was rendered extremely difficult by the volumes of smoke that rolled from the hatches, and for some time they were unable to locate the fire. Finally it was discovered to be in the forward portion of the lower hold. The suction pipes from the engines were dropped into the bay and fonr streams of briny water were soon sent splashing down below.

The fire was eating its way through hundreds of sacks of rice and other merchandise and the water for a long time seemed to have but little effect. The streams were kept on the flames, however, but not until most of tbe cargo was ruined were they extinguished. Owing to the fact that the ship is built of iron it was damaged but little, but it Is estimated that the loss on the cargo will amount to almost $20,000. The vessel arrived on the 15th inst. from Hon -kong with a cargo valued at about $100,000.

The upper bold was filled with merchandise consigned to many downtown business houses, while the lower hold was loaded with merchandise belonging to Chinese merchants. The vessel began to discharge her cargo on tbe 20th of the month and the upper hold had been cleared of freight. The lower hold was to have been cleared to-day, but unfortunately the fire left nothing but the charred aebris of the valuable merchandise. The loss is entirely covered. by insurance.

Captain Lock, commander of the vessel, is at a Joss to understand the cause of the fire, but is gratified that he succeeded in removing most of the cargo before the fare started. Shortly after the fire In the Hold of tht Falls of Dee had" been extinguished broke out in the Hobart building, 31 to 33 Sutter street, which is occupied by Edward S. Spear as an auction-house and I tbe California Press Printing Company. The flames originated from some un- known cause in the front portion of the printing establishment, which is on the second floor, and soon ate tbeir way through the floor above and the roof of the building. The flumes had made considerable headway before the alarm warsounded, and when the department arrived the entire roof was ablaze.

Several streams were turned on the burning building and in the course of balf an hour the -flames were quenched. The damage on tne buildine amounted to about $3000. Edward S. Spear's loss was mostly through smoke and water and will exceed $500. The California Press Printing Company's plant, which was valued at $1500, was completely destroyed.

The losses are all covered by insurance. ADVICE OF FRIENDS. In This Case It Proved to Be Very The Result. OAKLAND, "My mother was troubled with eruptions on her face caused by impure blood; friends recom- mended Hood's Sarsaparilla. She began taking it and in a short time was entirely cured.
