Jones diti not get to St. lttichael promptly on this appointment, and it was said at once that ho had resigned. So Sheppard, of Nebraska, was appointed in his place. Both Tones and Rutledge are venturesome fellows, quite capable of conceiving and trying to carry out such. a scheme." According to this story, Sones and Rutledge figure it this way: They mean to declare that the Hlondike gold fields are in United States territory, taking advantage for that purpose of the fad that the boundary line has not been definitely declared although they know' as well es anybody else that the disputed part of the boundary lino does not affect that territory. There are about 5,000 miners in the lalandike region, and nearly all of them are United States citizens. They are very indignant at what they consider the oppression and unjust exactions of the Canadian mining laws. It Is alleged that Jones and Rutledge propose after all communication is out off for the winter to go to Dawson and formally hoist the Stars and Stripes, declaring that all the fields are on ' Uni- ted States soil, and therefore open for entry. They rely on the hearty support of the 5.000 American miners to overawe the few British Mounted Police, and to defeat tbom if it comes to a question of lighting. They mean to declare martial law with themselves as commanders, and their gang of filibusters as °facials, and no one will be allowed to leave for the coast. 3n the meantime all the claims now reserved for the Crown ;will be located and worked to their full capacity. In this way millions of dollars' worth of dust will be taken out and secured before either Government can raise a hand to prevent it. - men who trusted you 2 Show your gratitude by paying the bill at the very earliest opportunity.
