SHIPPING GOLD
DUST IN CANS
Tanana Now mentis \ellow Metal
Out by Mail Packed in
t-pound Boxes.
The Fairbanks News thus describes
the system of shipping gold in 4-pound
cans by mail from the Tanana:
“The dust is carefully weighed after
it is assayed, and then i> put in sef>
arate gold boxes. Then comes the
mailing clerk of the bank, who care
fully takes the gold, weighs out
enough so that the entire package,
gold dust, tin box, sack, tags and all
weigh exactly four pounds. He then
seals the box and the package, puts
on the package $1.36 in postage and
turns it over to the registry clerk of
the post office, who makes out for ev
ery individual package of four
pounds a separate registry receipt.
Later the clerk takes the package and
puts it in a sealed envelope and en
closes a red registry return card and
a gray package return card. Next,
the package, which is now sealed
and no one is supposed to know of
it other than that it is a sealed regis
tered package, is entered in a bill
book for registry. Then the packages
are placed in a sack. A registry bill
is made out and placed on the sack.
This rotary lock is not opened until
it reaches its destination. The bill
on the inside of the sack shows the
number, and the card that is sent in
oridnarv mail shows the number of
the lock.
“The real story behind all of the
canning of gold is the gold dust rob
bery that took place on the steamer
Tanana a year ago. When the insur
ance companies were forced to make
up the deficiency caused by the rob
bery they at once got busy with the
guarantee clauses in order to find
out the extent of their liability. The
attorneys of the banking interests in
Seattle examined the contracts on the
backs of shipping receipts, and asked
the express companies to modify the
objectionable clause. This the ex
press companies refused to do. The
attorneys then advised that the gold
be shipped by registered mail and that
no shipment be made by express. The
wires on the matter were kept hot for
a day or two, and in the end the local
banking institution* commenced to
melt their gold into bars that weighed
just four pounds, or, more properly
speaking, a fraction less, so that these
could be put into packages the total
weight of which would be four
pounds.”

Cameron is surveying the copper
claims located by Cl^yson, Pitman,
Redman, Gould and Conner opposite
Fox island.
MIKE SULLIVAN
BEATS SQUIRES
—
Knocks Out Australian in Nine
teenh Round With Right
Swing on Jaw.
By Cable to The Dally Gateway.
San Francisco, Sept. 30 — Mike Twin
Sullivan knocked out Bill Squires in
the 19th round of one of the bloodiest
battles on record. Squires made a
game light but was outclassed in clev
erness and ring generalship. The
i Australian is no lemon. lie is simply
a big, strong fellow who does not know
how to light.
Squires was knocked down twice in
the round which saw his tiinish. The
| first time he was floored with a right
! to the jaw and took the count. When
i he arose he was put down again the
! same way and stayed down. Both men
were badly punished.
In the tirst four rounds both men
fought fiercely and there was much
wrestling by Squires The Australian
! seemed to be a champion at missing
i dangerous swings. In the sixth round
he drew blood from Sullivan’s nose.
Immediately afterward Sullivan landed
hard on Squires’ mouth and the blood
i flowed profusely. In the seventh both
j men were a mass of crimson. Sullivan’s
! right eye was split, open. The crowd
! got its money’s worth in the blood line.
In the ninth round Sullivan showed
: a decided advantage and had Squires
groggy. In the fifteenth and sixteenth
1 Sullivan nearly lost the fight by
stomach blows which were so close to
the foul line that he was warned by
j the referee. Squires continued to fight
fiercely. In the nineteenth Sullivan
started in to win, and he rushed the
1 tight until the knockout.
It is announced today that Squires
will go east to arrange six-round con
tests with eastern heavy weights.
BRINGS REPORT
FROM INNOKO
_
Tanana Miner Returns From Trip
to New Gold District With
Favorable Opinion.
Most of the news from the Innoko
comes out by way of the Tanana. The
Fairbanks News publishes a long
article which gives a great deal of in*
1 formation about the country. Fart of
the account follows:
“After three months in the Innoko,
; spent in a consistent study of the
whole region, and prospecting to bed
t rock on seven different creeks, Jim
I Whalen has returned to Fairbanks,
j believing the Innoko will eventually
i result in an important camp.
“Whalen says that * * * * 300
I or more prospectors have decided to
{stay with their properties this next
! winter, and are confident of finding
I enough to compensate them.
“Some few producers have been
! opened up on Gaines creek, but these
are the extent of working pay in the
country. As for futures, Whalen says
the richest sort of a quartz or placer
tind would surprise him but little. In
all the seven creeks he worked on he
found placer gold a few feet down from
the surface. None of the holes was
twenty feet deep.
“Quartz indications were plentiful.
The partners had several tons of tine
looking rock, some of it flecked with
heavy gold particles. They hoped to
get enough together to make a ship
ment this fall. One of these pieces,
Whalen says, weighs about 100 pounds,
and is thickly dotted with gold.
“The general indications of the
whole section Whalen considers very
good. The only thing in the way of a
knock it presents to the Tanana miners
is formation. The formation, for the
greater part of the left fork district, is
granite, slate and porphyry. The ab
sence of mica schist or any trace of
schist is what discourages many of the
prospectors from this district. One
stream, known as Madison creek, was
the only one there where any schist
was found.”
Katalla republicans elected A. C.
Williams delegate to the Juneau con
ventiou and instructed him to boost for
territorial government. Another fac
tion claims snap judgment was taken
and called a caucus to elect J. L. Mor
rison.

W. F DOHRMAN
DROWNS IN BAY
Diver From Cruiser Buffalo Recov
eres Corpse From Water
Beside the Dock.
William F. Dohrman, 18 years old,
fell from the dock into the hay and
was drowned last Sunday night a
few minutes after he went to the dock
to get a can of oil for use in the rail-!
road engine house, where he was
night watchman and wiper.
The body was found Monday by Diver !
Kempf of the cruiser Buffalo in six |
fathoms of water beside the dock, pre
cisely where he was supposed to have
stepped off after tilling a can of oil
from the tank at the end of the ware
house. It seems probable that in fall
ing his head struck a timber and he
was stunned, and rendered unable to
help himself or call for aid. Hlood
was oozing from the mouth when the
corpse was lifted from the water.
The boy and his father, Henry Dohr
man, and C. D. Mat hison, night watch
man at the railroad commissary, went
on a handcar about o’clock from the
engine house to the dock with a 5-gal- \
Ion can which the boy was to lill
and take back. He talked to his father
a few minutes and then went around
to the end of the old warehouse,
where an oil tank stands. His father
went up town. Mat hison had gone
away on some other errand. At 1!
o’clock young Dohrman had not shown
up at the engine house and Mathison
went to his house to find him and
learned from his father that he had
not gone there.
Young Dohrman had lived in Seward
since last spring and had worked at
different employments. He was a tall,
strong youth, with promise of long
life. His father and brother-in-law
live here and a younger brother went
west on a prospecting trip a few days
ago. They came here from Anacortes,
Washington.
GANS MAY STEP ASIDE
IN FAVOR OF MEMSIC
Los Angeles, Sept. 30—Joe Gans of
fered today to retire from the ring and
yield the lightweight championship to
George Memsic upon condition that
Memsic will fight colored men, in
cluding Gans himself if he should de
cide later to re-enter the game. He
says Memsic is the best of all the light
weights he has fought in recent years.

Labor Wars Reduced Output
The miner’s strike cut down the
Tanana output and it is now estimated
at $6,000,000. Last year it was $9,000,
000. The Nome Nugget asserts that
labor troubles in that district have re
duced the possible output at least
12,000.000.
Thomas A. Edison says most people
sleep too much and that excessive
sleep dwarfs the mind.
