So far.‘the exodus has been composed | almost exclusively of Pacitic Coast people. | Tne newspaper dispatches for several days Lave been telling of people and parties | that had decided to rush from all over | the East and these are due this week, whatever there may be of them. A ma- jority will go to Seattle to seek passage 3 , but many will come to San Fran- to | Several special craft will get away aur-! ing the week, some going to St. Michaals | “on a fool’s errand to meet the ice of the | Yukon and some going to Dyea. The | steam schoower Noyo, o long cn the run to Fort Bragg, will be one of the earliest to leave. - She 1s now expected to sail on ‘Wednesday. The J. S. Kimball Com- | pany, her owners, and J. Graumsn are proprieters of the enterprise, and with | new -deckhouses for bunks they expect| she will carry 150 passengers and a ton of | supplies per man to Dyea at §$75 per ras- senger. “A. C. Virgile will go along as a guide during the overlard trip. According to' Mr. Grauman, 120 have registered for passage, and among them are twelve women, principally wives or other relatives of men who are going or whoare already there. They will-put on bloomets at Dyea and brave the hardships of the long journey. Fifty burros and horses for packing, belonging to various parties aboard, will be taken along. Mr. Grauman. says. thai the Messrs. Kimball and. himself: are organizing a company to go into the transportation business on the Yukon .next - spring, puy- ing ocean steamers to run to St. Michaels and building steamers to run on .the river. “I suppose that 5000' men nearly have been to see us about going,'’ said Mr, Grauman yesterday. cited about going would - go the City would be depopulated, but when it'comes | ‘to the scratch mest of ‘them haven't got{ money erough, or they get homesick, or will wait till spring. :These new trans: porlation companies make me tired, many of them.

Within a few weeks Chilcoot pass has been losinz its prestige. It never was a first-class pass anyway, as any one could tell by looking at the pictures. Now thhreisa “run’” on White Pass, which lies just a little to the south of Chil- coot Pass and on the same general route. An enterorising company have been clearing | and building a trail over White Pass and it was declared ready for travel two or turee weeks ago. Itis said to offer easier grades than its better known rival and pack animals may carry their loads clear ver it and on down to Lake Tagisb. Lake Tagish lies alongside of Lake Bennett and the two lakes drain into the same stream. The company that has opened the new route charges toll for its use and it is re- ported from thenorth that a party of men that lett the sound the other day went armed, declaring that they were going over White Pass without paying any tolis. A large part of the present rush is roing t way of Skagaway and White Pass. There are no wharves and large sieamers have to stop a mile or so off shore while passengers and freight are lightered. In cases of light drauzht vessels horses are dumped inlo the water to wade ashore. No reports on the use of White Pass by the present rush have vet been received, but it is likely that more of those now going in will take that route than take | the cider one. Many who have leit within a few days have pianned to go by White's Pass, and it is expected that the Willamette will land passengers at both piaces. The steamer Rosalie, which was built at Alameda in 1893, and which had a check- ered career hereabouts for a year or two, has been on the Sound for a good while, and she has been chartered for the Yukon traffic up there by a company headed by Frank E. Burns. She was to leave yester- day on her first trip to Dyea and Skaga- way. The Canadian Pacific steamer Isl- ander, which runs from Victoria north, goes regularly to both Dyea and Skagaway now. Tl e SAMUELS BACKS IT A Big Expedition That Will Start North Early Next Spring. A party of men, forly in number, has organizad a company, and together they intend to prospect the Alaska goldfields. Each one has subscribed $500. Among this number are men of every occupation. There are fitteen experienced miners, a physician, a captain familiar with the northern waters, besides thirteen others, all able to make themselves usetul. They intend to buy or charter a vessel | and take a river boat along with them, besides 250 tons of provisions. They will accommodate 100 passengers, and, if pos- sible, more. M. Samuels, the wealthy liqum-= merchant, whose place of business isin this City, is the backer of the expedition, and it is his intention to develop any quariz or placer claims which will pay them. All the arrangements wil! be completed by next January, but they do notintend to start before the end of February or the 1st of March., They will take provisions enough for two years, but if at the end of has developed Mr. Samuels will stake them for another year.

He was in San Francisco last winter when zo!d was found on the Klondvke and before he returned last spring he went to Ottawa and got ap- pointed Postmaster ai Dawson. When he was here be saw a fine open- ing for a transportation and merchan- dising business on the Yukon and he tried to get capitalists here interested in the venture. He was ready to put in $50,000 himself, but that would not more than have built one good river steamer. He went to the Alaska Fur Compaay, to Liebes & Co., 10 Sherwood & Sherwood and to o'her people, but found nobody who would take hold and he quit in dis- gust. Ifa good river steamer had been ready for competitive operation on the Yukon when the craze began it would have been & mint to its owners, and now there are a few regrets about it. . To Fleece Kiondykers. SEATTLE, WasH, Aug. 1 — Three shrewd sporting men have orgsnized a FITTING UP THE CHETCO. One of the many craft being pressed into special Alaskan service by gold-seekers is the little gasoline schooner Chetco, which has been bought from T. P. H.

I am going as a miner. When I step off the | Mexico I become an old prospector. I expect to haul my own sled and teke my outfit. My food, which I shall take from here, consists of bacon, sea biscult and tea. When Iarrive at Dawson City I expect to ask for work just as any other laborer and prospector would do. I expect to get it. Ikoow Ishall get it. When Iget to work my life will not be different from ibat ot the hundreds and thousands by whom I am surrounded, except that perhaps I shall 11ve a little more closely. Iexpect to remain in the camp for (wo or Lhree weeks actualiy at work, meanwhile notingdown my experiences and writing them up from a miner's stand- oint. b “Do I think this a visionary scheme?

WhenIam up there | shall be & 1shaligo in unannounced, | bone fide miner. combination to fieece the Klondyke miners who are coming down on the steamer Portland, which is due to arrive here about August 25. Itis confidently expected that 100 miners will be on the steamer with fully $1,000,00 in gold nuggets, and nat- urally the voyage from St. Michaels to Seattle will be long and monotonous, and the gamblers reason that the miners will be inclined to indulge in card-playing. If the game once starts and a few of the gold- seekers get to losing they are sure to plunge and lose their entire fortunes. The promoters of the scheme are shrewd and fully equipped with modern tools that will insure them against loss. As sport- ing men they are kuown throughout the West. The organizer is Tom Erkhart, manager of Billy Malloy’s gambling pal- ace in this city, and he is assisted by An- thony Nash, formerly of Portland and now of Port Townsend, and Judd Con- stance of Boise City, Idaho. They sailed from here on the 231 of July on the Portland, after having effected pri- vate arrangements with one of the officers of the Portland for the exclusive gambling privileges on the return voyage. Each man is to share 25 per cent of the profits, and professional gamesters estimate that they will win anywhere from $10,000 to $1€0,000. Even though the miners should deiect the pamblers in the act of cheating the latter will enjoy immunity from harm by the kindly protection of their confeder- ates among the steamer’s officers. T T The New Steamer Humboldt That Has Been Chartered to Make a Sgecial Trip From San ‘Fra,ncisco to St. Michaels via Seattle. She Will Fe Gone About Four Weeks, and Will Make the Run From the Sound to the Yukon in About Sizx Days N0 VAL THR PASSES Those Who Went on the Al-Ki Get Through All Right. BIG SHIPPING BOOM AT . SEATTLE. Transport'atlon Lines Getting Ready for the Rush in the Spring. ORDERS GIVEN FOR BUILDING NEW VESSELS. Managers of Steamship Companies Determined to Meet the Kion- dyke Travel. SEATTLE, WasH., Aug. L.—The steamer Al-Ki arnived from Dyea at 3 o’clock this | morning, some thiriy-six hours behind her schedule time. The delay was caused, as was anticipated, by the difficulty in dis- charging her cargo at Dyea, where theroe is no wharf. All the treight had to belanded in small boats, which struck ground some distance from shore. She landea a large number of cattle at Pyramid Harbor. They are to be driven across by the Jack Dalton trail, striking the Yukon in the neighborhood of old Fort Selkirk, at the mouth of the Pelly. Those who went in on the Al-Ki found no ditticulty 1n making arrangements for having their freight packed over the| passes. In fact the stearaship was met by | runners for the rival ports, who each labored earnestly to induce the travelers to stop at his particular town, claiming that the pass there was the only one which could be used. Packing contracts were let at 17 cents over the Chilcoot Pass and 15 over the White Pass; $150 a thousand is charged for carrying lumber across either pass to the lake. Senator Perkins of California arrived here this afternoon over the Canadian Pacific Railroad. He will remain here looking over the steamship situation, with special reference to the rushing Alaska trade. Senator Perkins summed up the policy which would be pursued by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company very tersely. He said: “We will handle the travel and keep it moving if we have to put on a steamer to leave here every other day from now on.” | The North American Trading and Transportation Company is making elab- orate preparations to handle the Yukon travel by St. Michaels and the river boats, and through Charles H. Hamilton, secre- tary and manager in this city, to-day closed a contract with the Moran Bros, Company of this city for six large stern- wheel steamers, three to be built this fall and three in the spring, for use on the Yukon River. Each of these steamers is to be 190 feet in length, and will be equipped with powerful engines. ‘The boats are to be got out uere at the shipyard, shipped up to St. Michaels by sailing vessel and assembled up there. Mr. Hamilton further stated to-day that the company would purchase in the East, it possible, and if not, they would build three large ocean steamers with capacity for 1200 to 1500 passengers, and send them out by the Straits of Magellan this winter, 80 as to be in Seattle in time to take pas- sengers north as soon as the river opens in the spring. If these plans are all per- fected, this company alone will be able to land about 15,000 people into points on the Yukon during the open part of next year. This is the most elaborate trans- portation scheme which has yet material- ized in connection with the Yukon. The general offices of the company are to be moved from Chicago to Seattle forthwith, and will remein herealter at this point. —_— Pomona Has the Fevar. POMONA, Car., Aug. 1.—Pomona has the Klondyke fever. A company is being organized with a capital of nearly $40,000 to transport stores and stock to the fa- mous region. It is backed by Eastern capital and a number of leading business men are interested. REGULAR ARNY NOTES, The Target Practice With Small Arms Still On at the Presidio, Oolonel Miles' Leave of Absence—The Department Commender at Fort Mason. The target practice with small arms at the Presidio is still occupring the attention of the officers and men, and it will be some time be- fore the practice is over. Company C, Lieu. tepant Frank O. Ferris commanding, and Cempany D, James 8. Pettit, both companies from Benicia, will be at the range this week, and assoon as they shall have finished the prectice required of them they will be suc- ceeded py Company A, Captain L. P. Brant, and Company E, Captain John J. O’Conpell, What the result of the practice will bs cannos be deterpined until the scores shall be figured up, but it is said in a general way that the shooting by the men thus far has been credit- able to them. The target practice has, at the Presidio, superseded for the time batng the athletic sports that were given once a month. There was no field day i July, and it is more than likely that there will not be any at that post this mouth. There were post contests at Fort Mason and at the Sun Diego barracks. Last Saturdsy being the last day of the month, there was muster and inspection at all the posts. At the Prisideo, which is the largest postin San Francisco, all the tropps there stationed appeared on the parade ground in full dress and presented an appear- ance that won the commendation of the many gly ctators who occupied the grand siand.
