Band of Evangelists on Their Way to Geld Fields. “The Gospel Argonauts,” a band of seven men, who left New York several weeks ago, and are making their way on foot toward the Klondike region, where they expect to Preach the Gospel to the miners, are ex- pected in Washington shortly. Alexander De Soto, a convert of the Bleecker Street Mission, New York, and who, as he alleges, is a lineal descendant of Hernandez De Scto, heads the expedi- tion. The party will make the trip afoot to the Pacific coast, under the auspices of the Bowery Mission. On their tramp across the continent they will each carry a miner's equipment of pick, shovel, camping kit and blankets. A couple of guns and a shelter tent will also be taken along. ‘Their route leads through New Jersey, Pennsyl- Yania, Maryland, tne District of Cotumbia, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Ne- braska, Colorado and Utah, to California, which state they expect to reach the latter Part of March. From California they will go to Seattle and Juneau, and over the Chilkoot pass, when the melting of the snows makes traveling practicable. The band proposes to hold Gospel services al every available point aions the route mapped out. The money iaken in by col- jections at the meetings, it is thought, will sufficient to defray their expenses if they are trugal. They are even hoping that they may be able to travel by rail from Salt Lake City across the Ni t desert to California. The object is tq establish Gospel missions in Dawson City after the pattern of those in New York. When once the party reaches the Kion- dike it may be decided to supplement their Gospel work by work in the mines. in case they do the gold obtained wiil be put into the mission work there aad in New York.
