1o THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 11, 1897. BLOCKED 1 THE YUKON VER RUSH The Steamer Humboldt Un- able to Crowd Freight Aboard in Time. WILL SAIL NORTHWARD To-DAY. The Farallon Starts for Dyea With Thirty-Six More Gold-Seekers, WEiLS, FARGO & C0. WAITING | Will Establish No Express Service Before Next Year's Develop- ments—Another Syndicate. The steamer Humboldt, which isto bear northward the star Yukcn River expedi- tion of the season, failed to get away yes- terday afternoon, and then she failed to | get away in the evening and herdeparture was set for 19 A. M. to-day. The smart steamer Farallon left for the north on timeat 11 A. . however, proceed- | ing to Beattle and Dyea with thirty-six passengers and a fair amount of ire git, which will be added to at Seattle. The gold-seekers who left on the Farallon for the Dyea route were all of a well-to-do class and were provided with first-class outfits. About forty horses, mules and burros were stowed in the hold and they will be soon added to the struggling mass of livestock which is now msaking li‘e in- teresting in the region of the passes. Not more than a half dozen of the passengers were of San Francisco, the great majority coming irom all over the State, while a few were from the East. One man was from New York, one was from West Vir- ginia, one was from Salt Lake and two were from Chicago. as follows: A. C. Andrews A C. Armstrong H. J. Josewski . Plummer George Bremer G. H.

Torrence It is reported that the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Company is nego- tiating for a charter of the Farallon or a traffic arrangement with her which will enable that company to sell through tickets from Chicago to Dyea, not only next spring, when the anticipated rush begins, but during the present season. Captain Roberts of the vesse! will make a trip from Seattle as soon as he can return from Dyea in any even:, and the serv.ce may be established in connection with the road mentioned. There was an enormous crush of freight for the Humboidt on Washington-street dock all day yesterday, and this alone would have delayed the steamer until very late at night, but the chief delay was on account of the big steam barge which has been put together and knocked down at a shipyard in Alameda. Most of it was brought over on lighters in the afternoon, but altogether the job was too much, and early in the evening the dock was cieared and all work was stopped until morning. A big crowd watched the bustle all day on and about the wharf, though the novelty of Yukon expeditions has pretty well worn off. Many passengers flocked aboard with their baggage during the afternoon and the elezant cabin of the steamer became quite a conservatory with the dozensof bouquets and baskets of flow- ers that came for departing ones. The Seattle and Yukon Company, which is sencing out the expe- dition unaer the management of Mayor Wood of Seattle, is shioping an immense quantity of merchandise of sall sorts for the stores it will establish in competition with the two big commercial companies. Besides living supplies of all sorts there are paints, brooms, saws, axes, stoves, nails and tools and mining supplies of all kinds. The ship is announced to sail for Seattle and Bt. Michaels this forenoon, but she will probably not get away until later in the day. The steam schooner Caspar, which was engaged to sail from here to Dyea by C, H. Leadbetter, who failed in the enter- prise, has gone to Los Angeles, where she has been chartered for a similar expedi- tiop from there to Dyea by A. B. Smith The passenger list is | Commercial | BEGIN OPERATIONS AT .ONCE TN ©&AS =] { and other Los Angeles merchants.

Great Concessions to Canada Ca [ There was shipping came that Annoyance. | considerable a circles yesierdny wh Secretary Gage had granted Canadian sieamsh es such con- cessions as wiil 1 a large vpart, not all, of the Klondike shipping bus nes:. | Senator Perkins and the firm of Goodall, | Perkins & were much exercised ove the matter, and all the local steamsh companies hold that the proceedings of the Secretary of the Treasury give the Co. | Canadians tbe big end of tte shipping | business. | The news that came to the City was to | the effect that on | sent by the Secretary to the Collector at | Juneau to permit all Canadian steamers to discharge at Skagaw Tne order stated that Skagzaway, being about three miles from Dyea, the discharge of cargo would be under the supervision of the de- | partment at Dyea, who acts under orders | from the Collector at J . This order | | was made pursuant to the request of the | Canadian steamship line, and the steam- s are given the right to discharge Skagaway without regard to weather cor | ditions. Spea king of the matter vesterday Sena- | tor Perkins said: “The order is contrary | to the Jaw and to the spirit of the law. Allof the Amerzcan shippers have pro- | tested against this matter, but the Cana- | dians seem to berunning the Government. | Under the present arrangsment the for- | eign vessels wouid have no right to go up | to Skagaway, but they would have to | traasfer to American ships. Of course this wouald give us the trade. Now the effect will be to give the Britih a great hold. Parties will no longer buy thei | goods at Sound ports, but will buy at Van- | couver. The Secretary bas given the Canadians rights that we could not get | for months. -An instance is the case of | | 8t. Marys, where it required us months to get soms very simple rights, “*Canada has always treated Americans harshiy. We were tined $300 for carrying | one passenger in thelr waters or between two British por's. Gage says he has been | ileniem with the Canadians because they | have the whip on us in the Yukon. He | has made the concessions because he | : thinks it is a good thing in the long run. | He may be right, but I do not think so. 1do not believe the Canadians wi!l grant | Americans many rights in that cold re- | | gion. 1do not think it was right to make | & ruling thatis 1n opposition to the wel- fare of the masses of this country’s ship- pers, a grant at the request of our rivals, | and which is sure to do harm to Ameri- | can trade.” | Tne foliowing are the sections of the | law which the Senator says oppose the i rights of the foreigners: | R.S., 2771 Vessels which are not vessels of the United States 'shall be admitted io unload | |omly at ports of emtry estaba | | lished by law; and no such ves= | sel shall be admitted to make entry in any other district than | the one in which she shall be | | admitted to unload. 1‘ | R. S., 3109 — 'The master of a foreign vessel, laden or in ballast, arrivipg in the waters of the United States | from any foreign territory ad- | Jacent to the northern frontiers of the United States, shall re port at the office of any Collec- tor of Customs which shall be | mearest to the point at which such vessel may enter such waters; and such vessel shall mot proceed farther inland, either to umnload or take imn cargo, wiithout a special per. mit from such Collector or Depury Collector, issued under and in accordance with such | general or special regulations as the Secretary of the Treas. ury may prescribe. Skagaway, the new sub-port of entry, is at the mouth of the Skagaway River, which empties into the east side of the Ty-a arnd of Chilcoot Inlet. some three miles below Ty-a or Dyea. It is the natural key to the Yukon country. It was but little known south of Juneau until a few weeks 2go, just before the arrival of the news from Klondike, when Tue CALL published a map showing the route of a railroad sa1d fo be projected from Skagaway up the river and over Whites Pass 1o the lakes draining into the Yukon beyond. Since then its importance has been generally recognized by all seekitg an overland route to the Yukon country. By Lynn Canal, Chilkoot and Ty-a in- lets one can go by steamer over 100 miles nearer to the navigable waters of the Yu- kon basin than by any other route, and the travel thereto will ultimately follow that route as being the shortest and the best, and saving much time. The trail frem Ty-a over Chilkoot Pass is some four miles shorter than that from Skagaway over Whites Pass, but the latter is a thou- sand teet lower and the trail is better in every way, and then, too, a land- Thursday orders were | | ‘PAN OUT YOUR DIRT R IN THE SPRING vOTUr SHOULD GO AND SEEMS To IF SOMETHING TO KLONDIKE.

A vessel cannot get within a mile and a half of the village or Healys, whicu is the first place where goods can be securely placed. At Skagaway deep water is right up to the shore, with level ground for landing purposes, and the tides are not nearly so high as at Dyea. The comparative advantages of the place were not well understood when the Cana- dian’ merchants requested the Secretary of the Treasury to make Ty-a (Dyea)a sub-port of entry, and under ordinary cir- cums'ances might pot have been discerned for some time to come. But with the large amount of traffic carried up and to Be discharged the superior advantages of | Skagaway were not only soon recognized, but steps were taken to utilize them to the fullest extent. The Alaska and British Columbia Trans- portation Compeny during last month placed a large floating dock in vosition for landing freight, built warehouses and set a large force of men at work bettering he trail over Whites Pass, besides pro- | viding trains of pack animals for freight- ing goods over the lakes beyond. The sea traffic to Skagaway, however, remaining to American vessels gave our mercheants and ship owners a fair share of the large business being handled, a proper result of our ownership of the shortest natural approaches to the headwaters of the Yukon. Canadian vessels, now, however, being put on the same footing with American at Skagaway, as well as at Dyea, virtually takes away all the overland Yukon traffic from our people and gives it to Vancouver and Victoria. The necessities of the case | will require two or three customs inspect- ors at Skagaway alone, instead of having the one now at Dyea act for both places, as there is every indication that the travel to Klondike will continue to increase for some time to come, and after an interval of snow-falling begin again with increased proportions in the spring. That we shouid get little or none of this large and lucrative business will bea much to be regretted result of Secretary Gage's com- piaisance toward our Canadian neighbors. BACKED BY MILLIONS. August J. Bowie and Alfred Tre- gidgo Head an Expedition to the Klondike. One of the most 1mportant expeditions that has left this City for the bleak arctic in search of Klondike gold slipped quietly out of town !ast evening, with none of the blare of trumpets that has preceded the departure of so many other expeditions. The leaders of the party were August J. Bowie, one of the best-known and highest- priced mining experts of this State, ana Alfred Tregidgo, who has been promi- nently identified with mining in Nevada County for many years past. Negotiations have been going on be- tween the experts and New York capi- talists for several weeks past, in fact ever since the news of ihe Klondike gtrike | reached the outside world, and terms were | only arranged within the past few days. Both miners have refused to make pub- lic the names of the backers of the expedi- | tion, but it is known that they are among | the most wealthy of the capitalists of New York, and that thev are ready to back up the judgment of the two Cali- fornia experts to the extent of millions if necessary. Messrs. Bowie and Tregidgo are to locate or buy both placer and quariz properties, as they may deem advisable, and to employ as many men as can be used to advantage to develop the mines. The outfit taken by the fortunate Cali- fornians is one of the most completa that has yet left this City, comprising every- thing calculated to make life in the frozen regions of Alaska bearable aswell as the meost modern tools for prospecting. The | outfit cost something like $6000, the ex- perts having carte blanche in this line as in everything else. ‘With money in plenty to hire all the help they may need, the experts hope to make the passage of the treachercus Yu- kon pass before the winter lairly sets in, and to be at Dawson before many who have staried ahead of them. Ineluded in | the outfit are boats in sections that will | be put together at St. Michaels, and In- dians will be employed to hurry theex- pedition to its destination. The supplies of the expedition are lo go out on the steamer Humboldt, which will sail to-day for St. Michaels, but the party took the evening train for Seattle, where they will join the vessel. This course was taken to keep the mews of the expedition as mnch a secret as possible, and to avoid the annoyance of refusing the hundreds of applicants that would have besieged the experts for p: rmission to accompany the.party had it been gen- erally known that they were going under such anspicious circumstances. At Seattle the experts will be joined by other representatives of the New York backers, berths for all having been en- gaged by telegraph from New York. Two of the boats that the Humboldt carries on decks are for the use of this party and the expedition will go ahead without ref- erence to the other passengers on the steamer. Mr. Bowie is to receive $25,000 for a year’s stay in Alaska. st i NO EXPRESS NOW. Wells, Fargo & Co. Will Wait for Next Year’s Developments. President Valentine of Wells, Fargo & Co. denies the report that the establisa- ment of an express-office at Dawson and an express service thereto is in contem- plation. ““We (are doinz nothing at all in that direction tkis season,”” he said yesterday, “and I have no 1des what we will do in the future. It ail depends on next year's developments. The rush and the extent of business there may be only temporary. ‘We will wait for developments, Ido not even know w hether or not we will extend our service to Juneau. We maintained a service to Sitka and Juneau, but aban- doned it on account of the small extent of the business. Oar service now extends north only to Victoria. Our re-establish- ment of an express service to Juneau aiso depends on the development of per- manent business.’ L. R. Fuida, the local manufacturer who became widely khown through teing president of the California Atbletic Cinp some years ago when pugilism was in the ascendenoy, will sail for the Yukon onthe | erties in tne Territory, is in the Cityv. !ison his way to Juneau on bus ness in | connection with Humboldt. He goes in the interest of a large syndicate in which Liebes & Co. ars said to be interested. | The Alaska Commerc'al Company is planning an en!argement of its ocean and Yukon fixver steamer service next spring. Its great competitor, the Northwestern Transportation and Trading Company, nas with n three weeks contracied with Moran Brothersof Seattle for six steamers ot various sizes, and will have an extensive service with which to meet the spring rash. LAWLER TO TRY IT. He Is Grubstaking Several Men to Go to the Mines of the Klondike. John Lawler, owner of a half interest in the Hill ide mine, eighteen miles from Phcenix, Ariz., one of the best gold prop- He the development of mines in the Klondike district. He has already grubstaked and dispatched five men to Dawsen City, and he believes there is a good chance there for him to make another fortune. Mr. Lawler’s home is at Prescott. “All things considered, I think Arizona about the best mining country in the world,’ said Mr. Lawler; “but just now there is a flurry in regard to Kiondike and like a great many others 1 am trying my luck there. Altogether seven or eight men, perhaps more, have gone there. “There is a general interestin the mines of the north now in the Territory, and I suppose it will be kept up for some time. In fect, great camps may be founded | there.” | e " Got the Kiondike Fever. BERKELEY, CaL.. Aug. 10.—A report reached here to-day that Theodore Barnes, the sprinter and track manager of the university team, has cot the gold fever and gone to the Yukon fields in quest of bis fortune.

The Dominlon Government Has a Project for Establishing a **Treasure-House.” MONTREAL, Quesec, Aug. 10.—It is understood the Dominion Government haus under consideration a projectin con- | nection with ths: administration in the Y ukon district for the establishment of a “treasure-house,” in which will be stored the gold of miners and for whick they will receive drafts on United States or Cana- dian banks of the full value of their gold dust. The importance of such a de- pository in such a country as the Klon- dike district is readily estimated. Under existing conditions the task of gueraing their gold is an arduous addition to the labor of tne miners. Itisexpected that | this provision for what is practically | banking faciiities will go far toward reconciling the miners to the 10 per cent royalty which they will have to pay tothe Government. Practical y they will be paying an income tax of 10 per cent for the preservation of law and order, the storage of gold and for its safe delivery to the market. If the gold is stored in a central place under this proposed plan the officials will find the task of preserv- ing order greatly smplified, tor the miners will not be under the necessity of carrying arms nor will the rougher sort likely spend as much gold in riotous liv- ing. It will, of course, be necessary for the Government to take great precautions to insure the safety of the gold, but the presence of fiity or 100 mounted policeand three or four Maxim guns will be a great deterrent to the envious and greedy. — e SPREAD OF THE FEVER. Kansas, Oklahoma and Indlan Ter- ritory Prospectors Bound for the Klondike. WICHITA, Kaxs, Aug. 10.—Southern Kansas, Oklahoma and tbe Indian Terri- tory are contributing their full quota to the ranks of the Klondyke gold-seekers. Secarcely a town in these limits nas failed 10 send at least one prospector, and from many of them they go in companies of irom two to six. Nearly ali of them are well supplied with money and go with a full knowledge of the difficulties which they will encounter. Men in all trades and professions bave formed pools to | grubsteke prospectors, and even the women are sacrificing their jewels and foregoing accustomed Iluxuries to follow the examples of their husbands. Rich finds of gold, silver, platinum and extensive coal and asphalt beds in the In- dian Territory recently set everybody wild, and prospectors began flocking into the new EI Dorado, but no sooner did the raports of the Klondike discoveries reach them tban they turned their faces north- ward. Mining in the Territory meant patient, incessant toil, while on the| Klondike the poiden nuggets could be picked up without eftort. Considerable mining is still being carried on in the | Territory, however, and the latest authen- tic reports are than gold and siiver are there in inexhaustible supply. Sy s BLISS’ WARNING. Secretary of Calls Attention Dangers. | WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 10.—Sec- | retary Bliss has taken cognizance of the | rush to the Klonaike gold fields and | Alaska and bas 1ssued the following warn- | in g to the general public: To whom it may coucern: In view of infor- mation received at this department that 3000 persons, with 2000 tons of baggage and freignt, are now in wal.ing at the entrance to White Pass, in Alaska, for an opportunity to cross the mouniains to the Yukon River, and that many more are preparing tojoin them, I deem it proper to call attention of all who contem- | plate making that trip to the cxposure, priva- | tion, suffering and danger incident thereto at | this advanced period of the secason, even if they should succeed in crossing the moun- | tains. To reach Dawson City, when over the | pass, 700 miles of difficult navigation on the | Yukon River, without adequate means of | transporiation, will stiil be before them, and | it is doubtful if the journey can be completed before the river is closed by ice. Iam moved to draw public notice to these conditions by the gravity of the possible con- sequences to people detained in the mountain- ous wilderness during five or six months of an Asctic winter, where no relief can reach however great the need.

Mr. Deetken is backed by a syn- dicate of Germans, who pay &!l tne ex- penses for a vear and zllow him $1000 salary, besides an equal interestin what- ever claims that may be taken up. the Interlor to Grave | The ANCIENT MINES LOCATED, Property Cperated by the Spaniards Long 4go Have Eeen fe- discovered.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Aug. 10.—Presi- dent McKiniey and Vice-President Hobart visited the Catholic Summer School of America adjoining their hotel to-day. At the entrance to the grounds was a beauti- | ful wreath made of evergreens and golden- | rod, and the roadway was gay with Na- | vional colors, which were also displayed conspicuously in and about the audito- ! rium before which the reception was held, | Upon theentrance of the party, the large audience arose and greeted the President with hearty applause. Still standing, the audience sang a song of welcome, “The Chief That We Love and Revere.”” At the conclusion of the singing, Rev. Dr. La- velle, president of the school, welcomed the President and Vice-President to Cliff Haven. The President then received all who desired to meet him, and every man woman and child present profited by the opnoriunity. The visit of the President to Au Sable Chasm *his afternoon was one which will be long remembered. The party went by special train and consisted of the Presi- dent, Vic:-President, Mrs. Hobart, Secre- tary Porier, Mrs. Alger and her daughter, Mrs. Bailey and Miss Alger, Assistant| Private Secretary Cortelyou, Major Pruden, George Candishweed, T. F. Con- way_and Vice-President H. G. Young of the Delaware and Hudson. At Port Kent a eroup of summer board- ers greeted the President with cheers, cannon-crackers and the singing of “y Country, 'Tis of Thee.” A bow from the car steps was the President’s acknowledg- ment. The President led the way to the chasm and did not seem to mind the hard climbing. He greatly enjoyed the boat ride through the rapids, where the water rushes through a rocky zorge hundreds of feet deep. To-morrow the Presidential party will visit Lake Placid in the Adirondacks and Jonh Brown's grave. . WORRIFD TO DEATH. Troubles of @ Ratiroad President Indwuce Apoplexy.
