TIIK THRIFTIEST ISLAND KING,
Not Crime in Its Years Among: Ills

From tile Philadelphia Record.
New York, Dec. 21.—George Clunies-Ross.
King of the Keeltng-Cocos islands, eigh
teen In all, nnd governor of Christmas Is
land, arrived here to-day on his way from
his possessions, which are situated in the
Indian ocean, between Australia and Java,
to England, where he is to consult with
the colonial secretary. He rules under the
protection of tlie British government.
The islands belong to him absolutely, and
lie is the hereditary chieftain and sole
raw-maker for his 700 subjects. Ho lias

boasis that there has not been a crime nor
an arrest of any kind in his possessions

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24,159a
MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS OF
SHIPS AND SHIPPING.
Winter Lund Line Adopted by Brit
ish Board of Trade—Merchants and
Miners* Steamship State of Texan
to Re Repaired—l,lst of Vessels in
Port—Arrivals nod Sailings.
Shipping circles at Baltimore have been
advised by cable from Liverpool that the
British Board of Trade had finally adopt
ed the new winter load line for vessels
trading at North Atlantic ports, and that
the British Board of Trade and Lloyds
officials had been intrusted to carry it out
immediately, says the Baltimore Sun.
This decision ends a controversy which
has been going on for several years. New
York and Philadelphia commercial inter
ests have been harping upon the advant
age which Baltimore was given, according
to their belief, in the exemption from the
same load line restriction which was in
force at those portW. The British Board
ol' Trade, which regulates such matters,
W'ns appealed to and asked to place Bal
timore on the same basis as the other
North Atlantic ports. Thfc application
was resisted by the Chamber of Commerce
of Baltimore, but the New York and Phil
adelphia interests at last won out. On ac
count of the distance of about 160 miles
to be traversed by ships from Baltimore
to reach the ocean track of vessels bound
abroad.n deeper load line was permitted at
that port. Under this concession- vessels
could load on an average about five inches
deeper than at more northerly points.
This advantage was not, however, regard
ed as responsible lor the growth of Balti
more's grain trade, although the rival
ports made a feature of their pica for its
abolition that it was enabling Baltimore
to take away their trade.
Capt. John Johnson, who commanded
the Merchants and Miners’ Transportation
steamer Fairfax when she Stranded in the
late storm off the Massachusetts coast,
has taken command of the steamer State
of Texas, bought 6)' the company from
the Maliory line. Capt. Johnson's officers
and crew have also been placed on the
steamer. Capt. Avery, who has com
manded the steamer since she was bought
by the Merchants and Miners’ Company,
has gone to New York. The State of
Texas will be laid up for some necessary
repairs and changes at Baltimore..-

KLONDIKE GOLD.
1 rofcMHor Ilcilpi'in*N Opinion of Its
Origin anl Distribution.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Prof. Angelo Heilprin made a commu
nication last evening to the Academy of
Natural Sciences, covering the results of
his recent observations in the Klondike
gold region, in the form of a brief de
scription of its physical geography and ge
ology.
What Is officially designated as the Klon
dike gold mining district by the officers
of the British government is the district
where gold deposits are found on the
Klondike river and the streams entering
into it. The Klondike river itself gives
little evidence of gold, but, on its upper
tributaries the Bonanza creek is the
prime source of the official Klondike re
gion. One of the tributaries of the Bo
nanza creek is one that is just as well
known, the Eldorado, These two streams
constitute the principal gold source of the
district. There are other streams, one of
which is coming Into prominence, the
Hunker, which are very much shorter;
also Bear creek. Others streams, like the
Sulphur and Dominion, which ore very
near the Klondike, do not empty into it
The gold bearing district known as the
Klondike measures about forty miles
•forth and south, and about the sumo east
and west, and covers about 1,500 square
miles. None of it lies In American terri
tory. but in what is called the Northwest
territory. It Is about forty miles east of
the 141st meridian of longitude, which
forms the boundary between the two
countries, and its northern limit Is near
the tilth parallel of latitude. Dawson
Pity is the gateway to the district, shu
nted on one of the largest rivers In the
world, the Yukon.
Prof. Heilprin described the character of
•he climate, which in summer is like that
of North Carolina or Tennessee; R g vege
tation, which is so luxuriant as to cover
tin- mountains and valleys with verdure
and make it difficult for the geologist to
find the rocks, and then he took up the
scientific aetiect of his subject.
in his opinion, judging from the evi
dences of .1 general degradation of the
mount.tins, that the whole region was or
iginally covered with water, and that
the present channels of the streams are
hundreds and even thousands of feet be
low the lieda of the likes which Ollei is

N- arly all the gold in the Klondike re
gion Is found from ten to fifteen feel ts -
neath the surface, and also as far is sixty
feet. The go id occurs In a variety of forms,
viz., extremely sma.l particles, designated
us "colors;’ larger size call gold scales,
ami st.ll larger called gold nuggets. By
far the greater number of nugget a nre
rounded. It Is from the condition of an
gularity that it is argued by some that
the gold where found could not have conn
from any great distance, because other
wise the particles would huvi Indlaicd
the wear and loir of the Journey. It is
also further argued that tin goal was pri
marily in rock masses, and lias Is en

Imt a vi. w which I* shared with him by
other geologists is that the gold was ob
tained from the high levels. The surpris
ing discoveries made during the present
y. ar of rich plac r, deposits, high up on
the hillsides, show that the deposits there
have been emptied into the valleys. Where
Ihe hills got their gold, he was not per
pend to say, nor could he sav where gold
could be or could ndt be found and work
