The néw fall and winter novelties are taking their place here—and already there has been a demand for them. We have striven to make the com- ing season a banner year for our shoes—and a look at the many new styles will fairly demonstrate that our efforts will meet with deserved suc- cess. In the first place we have tried our best to show a stock of shoes exclusively dif- ferent from that shown by other Washington shoe stores. And we have succeeded. Any one can see that by a compari- son. There is not a single shoe in our great stock that is not exclusively proper and up-_ to-date—and not one that is not worth more than we ask for it. Our trade composes the leading social lights of the na- tion’s capital—in fact the whole of fashionable Washing- ton. For those young men and " young ladies who will soon de- part for college and seminary we have a new line of fall shoes of extreme stylishness. Shoes hold an important part in the mater of dress—and if you value style you should certain- ly give this new line of “col- lege footwear” your attention. Did you know of the re- duced prices we’ve put on the balance of the summer shoes? Well—we’re offering the shoes which sold during the season up to $3 and $3.50 for $1.98 a pair—and those which sold for $4 and $4.50 for $2.48 a pair. B.

NOT HALF ENOUGH FOR THE WINTER Story of Three Miners Who Have Just Returned. STEAMER WEAVE AGROUND EUREKA, Cal., September 8.—The news by the steamer National City from St. Michael’s corroborates all that has been said of the prospects of short rations in the gold diggings of the upper river during the winter. The steamer, which connected with the river steamer J. J. Healy at the mouth of the Yukon, brought three pas- sengers. One of these is J. A. Ralston of No. 214 McCallister street, San Francisco. He says there is gold, and lots of it, in the Klon- dike, but it is generally still in the ground. It is believed the claims now located could turn out fifty tons this winter if the scar- city of food did not prevent full opera- tions. He gives a rough guess that the Klondike is good for $250,000,000 before petering out. Six thousand men in the mines about Dawson City is the estimate of Ralston, who came down on the National City with F, E. Leonard of Nanaimo and R. B. Lamb of Portland, Oregon. The supply of the necessaries of life to feed these men, he says, is totally insufficient. In fact, an estimate that the stores will be exhausted before the winter is half over, when the famine will be on in earnest, and especially as the number of men in the country will be greatly augmented by the later arrivals over the passes. Whisky Plenty, Flour Scarce. ‘There is whisky, beer and all kinds of liquor in profusion, he says, but their places could have been better filled on the stéamers with flour. It is not that the men in the country have not money to buy sup- plies, but that the stocks of the stores are inadequate. Ralston says one of the best claims on Eldorado creek is the Prosperity, of Jas. Halleck of Missouri. It will turn out at least $1,000,000. Claim No. 12 on the El- dorado is also very rich. It is no uncom- mon thing to take out two ounces to the pan from any part of the claim. ‘What wealth is coming on by the steamer Excelsior cannot be estimated. Those of the passengers of the Healey who came to St. Michael's were very reticent as to their store of dust. With the exception of Ral- ston and his companions, all the passengers of the Healey took passage on the Excel- stor. That vessel left St. Micheal’s the night of August 26 with eighty passengers. She was put into Unalaska for coal, and Capt. Anderson of the National City is of the opinion that the Excelsior should ar- rive in San Francisco some time today. ‘When the National City left St. Michael's the steamer Cleveland was taking in bal- last and expected to sail for sound ports on August 30. Many of the passengers who had tickets for the Cleveland took passage on the Excelsior. Steamer Weare Aground. On the way down the river from Dawson City, which place the steamer Healey left August 14, the steamer Weare was found hard and fast on a bar. She was passed August 16, being about 1,200 miles from the mouth of the river. The boat had been on the bar for twenty days, and the Healey laid alongside, took off her passengers and some of the freight and then proceeded on the way, leaving the unfortunate boat, with small chances of getting off before the river closes. E. Leonard says the Weare had on board 159 pasengers and about $1,500,000 in treas- ure. This was transferred to the Healey and taken to St. Michael’s. A considerable amount of this will arrive in San Francis- co on the Excelsicr. When asked why he returned, Leonard said: “I found I had to get out or starve. There are about 4,000 men in Dawson, and not more than a third of them have work. If you have.not a stock of grub you cannot get work at any price. I had provisions for three months, and no one wanted me. I had not enough to work my own claim un- til spring, so I sold my stock at a good fig- ure and will wait until spring. Jim Duns- muir, the Eldorado king, has had $30,000 worth of provisions ordered for some months, but has not been able to obtain more than a fifth of it, even with the cash up in advance. “Those coming out, however, did not bring all their clean-ups with them.” Leonard recites numerous instances of men who had cleaned up from $50,000 to $100,000, but had taken away barely a third of that. The men say they made nothing except as wage workers at $15 a day, for a month or so. F. Lamb of Port- land is authority for the statement that over fifty men have already died of scurvy this summer. Stewart River Discoveries. In regrad to discoveries on Stewart river Ralston says there were many rumors of rich strikes, but up to the time he left Dawson nothing definite had been received. The National City was eleven days from St. Michael's, Alaska, where she left sixty- five eager gold seekers. It is very doubt- ful whether any of the passengers who went up on the National City will get through this year. The small boat which some of the pas- sengers had taken up on the deck of the steamer has proved a disappointment. Her machinery has gone wrong, and she draws too much water. There is enough provisions in the party, however, to winter it out and proceed up UN€ river when spring opens. The Cleveland was expected to sail on the day after the National City departed. The Excelsior left St. Michael’s twelve hours before the National City. Captain Anderson reports that on August 28 he passed the steamer Humboldt, but did not speak her, and that she in all probability arrived at St. Michael’s the following day. Could Not Rench St. Michael's, VICTORIA, B. C., September 8.—The steamer Bristol returned to pcrt this morn- ing. She started a week ago for St. Mich- ael's with 200 miners, who were to have been taken up the river by the steamer Eugene. The Eugene sprung aleak and could rot proceed on her voyage, and the trip had to be abandoned. REPORTS TO THE TREASURY.

KANN, SONS & 60., Sthar and Market Space 7th St. Entrance, Family Shoe a with some of the most experienced traders and miners in this vicinity, and they are unanimous in the prediction that not over 20 per cent of this vast number will get through to Dawson before winter sets in. ‘The other 80 per cent will be caught on the trail, and those who survive and get back to tide water will have to winter at Skag- vay or return south. If the rush continues two weeks longer hundreds will inevitably perish on the trail, which is extremely dangerous after October 1. Up the Chilcoot Pass. “The postmaster and Indian trader at this place (Mr. Heron) states that more than 1,000 men have gone up the Chilcoot pass during the past thirty days, and that 700 of them ere still this side of the lake (twenty-four miles from kere). Vessels are arriving every day or two, and et the pres- ent rate of influx another thousand will enter the trail by September 10. Mr. He- ron is of the opinion that not more than twenty out of 100 will get through, and he says this trail is far more dangerous than the Skaguay after the snows set in. He says if the rush continues another week the resultant loes of life will be ap- palling. I attach the greatest weight to what he says, for the reason that it is to his pecuniary interest to have as many as possible come this way; yet he advises an immediate stoppage of the stampede. It is difficult to suggest a way to stop this in- rush of the people, but Mr. Ivey intimates that if the inspection rules of the Treas- ury Department were properly enforced it would materially decrease the number of passengers on the incoming vessels. Near- ly every vessel that arrives here brings twice as many passengers as the Jaw al- lows it to carry, and many of them are condemned craft which have been fitted up for this trade. “Mr. Ivey will no doubt at once present the facts outlined above to the proper authorities, and I merely give them to you for your information. The situation is ap- palling, and it is impossible for me ade- quately to describe the mad rush for the gold fields. I had no conception of its im- mensity till I saw. The Stampeiic. Not Justified. “I have talked with several men who have recently arrived here from the Klon- dike, two of whom left there less than thirty days ago. They unanimously agree that while there is a rich gold field there, the facts do not justify the present stam- pede, and they say there is bound to be much suffering and actual starvation. Pro- visions are already scarce, and the prices of many articles absolutely prohibitory in the case of a man of ordi: means. good luck has attended me comfortably sure of going right “The mail facilities are very bad here, Office Department has not allowance for the rapid growth ‘The postal authorities cope with the mass I have doubts as to greseccecessococcenscooes ee “THE QUALITY STORE.
