BRYAN WANTS TO EXPEL
ALL CORPORATION AGENTS
Jersey City, Sept. 3 William J.
Bryan was given a reception in the
east end Saturday night and spoke to
a large audience. He said he intends
to insist that no man connected with
any favor seeking organization be per
mitted to hold membership in the dem
ocratic party organization. He said it
must be made the rule that when a
man accepts a corporation position he
must resign from the democratic or
ganization. He said that he expected
to turn his efforts in the future to the
{ purification of both the democratic and
the republican party
Bryan Criticises Republicans
Bridgeport, ft.. Sept. 1 illiam J.
Bryan spoke in the armory here yes
terday. He assailed the republican
party and said President Roosevelt
had not lived up to his opportunities.
Bryan said that more prosecutions of
trusts should be instituted and they
should be pushed more vigorously. He
predicted a great revolution in the re
I publican party because of its subser
! vience to corporate monopoly.
Wants Democratic Harmony
New Haven, Ct.. Sept. 1—Mr. Bryan
delivered an address here last night.
I He pleaded for harmony among demo
crats for the next two years in order
to pave the way to victory in UH)8.
He denied that the republican party*
promises any reform. He said that in
! what had been accomplished President
Roosevelt had whipped his party into
line with the democratic platform.
Scores BryanC Railroad Plank
Louisville, Sept. 1 Henry Watter
Mjn in an editorial in the Courier
Journal this morning scores Brian for
his advocacy of government ownership
of railroads. W'atterson says the pro
ject is the bight of unwisdom from a
political standpoint,' unameriean and
illogical under the Cnited States sys
tem of government. He affirms that
the issue i> impossible to catch and
worth nothing after it i» caught.
The editorial proceeds to say that
the other portions of Bryan s speech
furnish food for thought and most of
the ideas advocated will probably find
place in the democratic platform.
Oppose Government Control
Washington. 1). C., Sept. 3 All sen
ators and congressmen of l>oih parties |
arriving in the city since Bryan’s
speech at Madison Square Garden
Thursday night, and all those who
were already in the capital announce!
that they are opposed to Bryan’s pro
ject for government ownership of rail-1
roads.
James J. Hill wires that Bryan’s
plan would increase the cost of main
tenance and operation and decrease
the efficiency of the railroads. He af
firms also that it would give the party
in power a tremendous advantage in
the machinery of politics which would
be detrimental to public interest.
Bryan Hears no Opposition
New York, Sept. 3 Mr. Bryan left
this city last night for Buffalo, where
a reception will be tendered to him
this evening. He says that he has
seen no one yet who opposes his plan
for government ownership of railroads.
Says Bryan Put His Foot in It
New Yo^k. Sept. 6 Senator Knox
returned from Kurope today. Discus
sing the Bryan movement he said that
Bryan opened his mouth wide and put
his foot in it when he advocated gov
ernment ownership of railroads, as
that could not be made a popular
issue at this time.
Bryan to Tour the South
Lincoln, Neb. Sept. T—Mr. Bryan
will start September 10 on a twenty
days’ tour of the south. He will speak
in several states.

GOOD REPORTS
FROM YENTNA
(Continued from page 1)_
hear myself. Wait a little longer anti
j vou will see the dust. They will have
to believe that.”
Say (iold Is Coming
After insistent pressure MacDonald
and .1. K. O’KeiUy. who came down a
I week ago, agreed that from $.50,000 to
$10.(HH) would he a safe estimate. Mac
| Donald then stated in answer to a
I question that between forty and fifty
! men are engaged in actual mining on
the Kahiltna and its tributaries, al
most without exception taking out
wages or better. When asked if these
men would not average $1000 each in
view of tiie fact that Herndon and
Jacobson, Morris and others will take
out several thousand to the man, both
O’Ueiily and MacDonald admitted that
the estimate of $1000 to tiie man would
be conservative.
MacDonald left Cache creek August I
10. At that time Herndon and Jacob
son had one man working with them
and were taking out $s0 a day to the
man, but were not getting in full time
for several reasons, one of which is
that tiie water is very cold and
men cannot stay in it long as it gets
into their hoots. Still they are taking
out big pay steadily on Herndon's
claim. This is on Nugget creek.
The estimate of $20,000 for Herndon
and Jacobson, which has been made by
several men. was thought by McaDon
ald and O’Reilly to be too high.
Nevertheless when asked how so much
could be taken out daily all through
the summer without reaching or ex
ceeding $20,000 for the season both
men admitted that it was hard to cut
down the total estimate much below
that given by others.
The Morris claim is 'believed by
MacDonald to be fully as good as Hern
don's and he said many think it still
richer. He thinks also that other
creeks in the vicinity will prove in a
short time to be as good as Nugget.
All the production so far has been on
false bedrock. True bedrock is be
lieved to be very deep.
Strikes Along Lake Creek
S. E. Wagner came in on the Tole
do. He left Lake creek August 19.
He went there in February for Frank
Watson and has been all through the
Kahiltna and Lake creek region. He
and Sam Mills have located on half a
dozen gulches well up the creek, a
short distance below Lake Chelintna.
Some development was done on all of
these and Wagner says nearly all will
yield $10 a day and some of them an
ounce a day to the man. All the work
done by himself and Mills was near the
surface, false bedrock being struck at
two or three feet.
The creeks located by Wagner and
Mills near the lake they have named
Wagner, Mills. Skookum, Boulder,
Chicago anil Fergus. He brings a
small bottle of coarse gold as a sample
of what the creeks contain. He came
to Seward to see Mr. Watson and will
return to Lake creek in a few days.
J. E. O'Reilly is another man who
stands by Lake creek, predicting that
it will be a great producer. He sticks
i to the estimate made a few days ago
and published on his authority in the
Gateway, that the few men who are
working bars on Lake creek will take
out $'>0'M) this year. He aftirms that
the knocking which has been done
against Lake creek has been by men
who know nothing of mining.
Skwentna in It Too
Aaron Krickson came in from the
Skwentna but like the others expects
to return soon. He had the misfor
tune to lose most of his out tit in a
stream and had to come back for some
thing to eat. He located several
claims on tributaries of the Skwentna.
Several prospectors are on Happy
river and their panning has showed
good results. Ounce diggings have
been found and Erickson says the re
gion looks good in every way. He
went to Happy river on a pointer by
Harry Hicks, who was through there
early in the summer and liked the
place. Mr. Hicks said in Seward a
few days ago that $8 and $10 ground :
could be found anywhere on the river. '
Mr. Erickson is an experienced
placer miner who came here from
Nome. He thinks the Yentna is des
tined to be a great gold district and
says it has had the misfortune to be
invaded by a lot o; hobos who went in
expecting to pick up $20 gold pieces
and who have been more industrious
in robbing caches than at any other
employment. Several of these bums
have been ushered out of the country
by miners' law laid down at miners’
meetings.
Report Kuskokwim Strike
Both Erickson and MacDonald report
that news of a gold strike near the
head of the Kuskokwim, just over the
range, has come over to the Yentna
side. They had no details but Mac
Donald said he was informed the dis
covery had been made by or f5r a
trader named Perry, who has had a
post on the upper Kuskokwim for
several years. It is known that a
small number of prospectors have gone
over the range from this side and it is
probable that some have come up the
river from the coast.
The upper Kuskokwim can be
SAN FRANCISCO
SETTLES STRIKE
Street-Railway Men Return to
Work and Leave Differences
to Arbitration.
By Cable to The Doily Gotewoy.
San Francisco, Sept, o The street
railway strike is settled and the union
employes returned to work today.
The differences which caused the
strike will be arranged by arbitration
later.
The settlement was forced by the !
national organization of street railway
men and is a complete backdown for
the local unions. According to the
program agreed upon the company
will retain both the old union em
ployes and the strike breakers.
Union Carmen do to Work
San Francisco, Sept, ft—The union
streetcar men reported for work last
night and all lines are running cars
regularly today. No trouble any
where is reported.
Strike Breakers Repel Union Men
Goldfield, Nev., Sept. 3—The first
section of Farley’s strike breakers
bound for San Francisco to take places
on the street railway lines passed
through here today. A crowd of union
men gathered at the depot hotel and
when the train stopped began to
throw stones through the car windows.
The strike breakers jumped from the
train with revolvers in hand and be
gan shooting. Fifty shots were tired
at the crowd of unionists and several
of the latter were slightly wounded.
The union men and spectators hurried
for cover* Kvery strike breaker was
armed.
[The dating of this dispatch from
Goldfield is evidently an error in trans
mission over the cable as no trans
continental railroad line runs through
Goldfield. The fight undoubtedly oc
curred at some station on thelineofthe
Southern Pacific, probably Reno or
Winnemucca, each of which has a
depot hotel.—Kd.j
LA FOLLETTE FAILS TO
DEFEAT GOV. DAVIDSON
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Milwaukee, Sept. 5—Gov. J. O. Da
vidson was nominated for governor by
the republicans for the ensuing term
today, defeating State Senator Len
root, who was the choice of Senator La
Follette. Davidson was lieutenant
governor and succeeded LaFollette
when the latter went to the U. S. sen
ate. The senator made a vigorous
light for Lenroot and much bitterness
was manifested in the campaign.
Dora Meets Fair Weather
The steamer Dora had an uncom
monly pleasant trip last month to the
westward, along the archipelago whose
shores are usually wrapped in fog,
perforated with infrequent flashes of
sunshine. Bright weather was the
rule and the sea was so quiet that the
little steamer scarcely rolled. She ar
rived'in port last Saturday.
Steamer Bertha Arrives
Steamer Bertha reached |>ort yes
terday afternoon with thirty passen
gers and a small freight cargo. She
sailed for Seldovia late in the after
noon. She is not scheduled for any
other westward port.
Excelsior Comes and Goes
Steamer Excelsior arrived from Se
attle Sunday morning at 8 o'clock
and sailed on the return trip Monday
morning. She brought a small cargo
and lifteen passengers.
Santa Clara Reaches Valdez
Steamer Santa Clara reached \ aldez
yesterday at 1:30. She is due to
leave at S a. m. today.
A mining man who has been there
tells the Dawson News it would take
100 gold dredges 100 years to begin
to discover the limitations of the work
able area in the Fortymile.
The secretary of the interior has
issued an order withdrawing from

which are known to possess workable
coal. _
reached without great difficulty from
the Yentna side. At least two availa
ble passes have been traversed repeat
edly. One is that taken by the Cook
party this summer, going straight up
the main Yentna to the summit and
down the Kalchatna river. The other
psss is reached by going up the
Skwentna, Happy river and Portage
creek to the summit of the range.
Both passes are low and the approach
es not exceptionally steep or rugged.
The upper Kuskokwim is naturally
tributary to Seward. It is nearer to
this town than to any other seaport
except those on Cook inlet, and a bet
ter as well as shorter route to it can
be obtained from this direction than
from any other.
