(&) THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, AUGUST 15 A CALIFORNIA MINER READS THE NEWS. the run are having more than they can | being offered. Horses are cheap in Ore- carry. Itis conservatively estimated that be- iore September 1 over 10000 men will be struegling along the passes and down the Yukon River between Dyea and Skaguay aud Dawson City, all bound for the coun- try where gold nuggets are supposed to be had by shaking them out of the moss roois. Up to this date 4000 prospectors have left Seattle for the north, 700 going in by way of 8t. Michael and thence up the Yukon River, and the rest goingin | by way of Dyea over the passes and,down the Yukon to the Klondike. Over 1400 horses have also been taken in to be uset as pack animals between Dyea and Lake Linderman. It isestimated that by Sep- tember 1 over 6000 prospectors will have left Seattle for the digzings, and then oxen, horses, mules and cows, coming under the head of the number of 1766 will have been taken into the territory by the gold-hunters. Tuis does not include the exodus from California leaving San Francisco and other California points, which will easily run the goid-hunters on their way north to more than 10,000 men. Joe Clark, an old miner and packer of many years experience, has written to Colonel P. H. McKernan of Eeattle and his letter gives some timely advice. He says: “There are about 3®0 wou!d-be gold-seek- ers here, and they will siay here unless they do as we have done—make pack-horses of their noble selves and pack their grub | over the mountain on their honest backs. There are quite a number of pack-horses here, rigged out with ‘sawbucks’ on their backs, instead of ‘apparajos.’ There is not a pack-train worthy of the name and there are not a dozen good packers to be found. Two good vpack-trains, with packers, would be a godsend to the people who are here waiting for something to | If men would turn outand fix | turn up. the trails and tramp down the snow they would soon reach the laks and gold fields. “Tell the people who are coming this way thetif they expect fo have their out- fits packed over the mountalns on the hurricane-deck of a cayuse to put their goods up in side packs, well lashed, or bring gunny sacks aud cargo lashings. All boxes should be the proper size and heft for mdepacks and well Jashed. It would be well to secure the assistance of some old packer to put outfits in proper shape, The Indians are refusinz to carry much ot tbe goods that are here unless the packayges are repacked. DMostall the boats that were shipped here will remain here, tor it will cost more to have then packed over the mountain than boats will costat the lake. This reminds me of the Cariboo excitement, but there are more schemers in this.” —_— ACTIVITY AT PORTLAND. No Abatement In the Rush to Se- cure Passage for Men and Horses. PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 14.—The same scene is being repeated on the Ainsworth dock to-day as that which witnessed the lust sailing of the steamer George W. Flder. Men, horses and outfits are being bundled about, al! with the same motive to reach the Klondike before the rigorous Arctic winter setsin. Tcat it is reported there are more men on the pas+es than can make their way to the interior this season, cuts no figure with the prospective Rlondikers. They are coniident in their own nerve and ability, and as a conse- quence propose tackling the passes with tie firm belief of their pushing through, Beyona a doubt some will, others will not. Tt all depénds upon the quality of the nerve and the amount ot physical en- durance those taking passage prove to be possessed of. If the George W. Elder were a six-decker battle-ship of the days of Nelson and Trafalgar and had her guns removed and her gun decks turned into stalls there isa probability that the craft would be unable tQ_accommodate the number of animals **beasts of burden,” to | | | | gon, and there seems to have spread an ides emong the ranchers that all that is necessary to dispose of their stock and at the same time make a “‘barrel of money” is to get the horses to the head of naviga- tion on Lynn canal, be it either at Skag- uay or Dyea. There they are to receive from $200 to $500 for each animal landed, according to his gentleness and ability to climb and pull at the *ame time. *There have been offered on the Elderat least 120 more horses than we coull possi- bly accommodate’ was stated at the office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com- pany this morning. “It is astonishing the demand that has been made on us for what we might call space and every book- ing of horses would mean the selling of a passage either first class or steerage.” et wele e LUCK OF A BARBER. Max Levey Sends Down a Large Shipment of Gold From the Kiondike. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasg, Aug. 14.— Among all the stories of hness that have come from the Klondike country the interest nas not been as great as it might have been from the fact that among the lucky ones in first reports there were none with whom the people here had a per- sonal acquaintance. Now, however, there comes a story about & former Port Town- sendite who went into the wilderness with the first rush and rose in a few days from the most abj ct poverty to riches and af- fluence. This story comes by way of Port- land in a letter to Mr. Applestone, pro- prietor of the Key City dye works here. Two years ago Applestone came here from Portland, accom panied by a native of Hol- tand named Max Levey, and started a clothes cleaning and repair shop. Levey was not much of a tailor and soon became dissatisfied. Stories of Alaska prosperity drew his attention northward, and after deciding to go to Juneau offered to take Applestone and his son with him. The latter declined the cffer and have remained here ever since. Levey, how- ever, went stesrage to Juneau and there openea a barber-shop, charging 50 cents for a shave and 75 cents for haircuts. The fellow was frugal and saved what he was meking. When, some months ago, the news came that about $27 to the shovel was being taken from the minesin the Klondike Lavey at once retired from the tonsorial business and made tracks for the El Dorado. He was among the first to stake off claims there, and the success he met with is evidenced by the fact that aboard the Elder on herarrivai at Portland last Wednesday was $78,000 in gold and nuggets consigned by Lavey to the First National Bank of that city for deposit. The letter says that Lavey has been pay- ing his men, all of whom are experienced miners, $20 a day, but cannot hold them at that figure. He tells Applestone to send him in four or five men who will take $20 a day for steady work, but as the letter was written before the Klondike rush began the instructions were not heeded. Levey has two claimsand in- tends to stay until the bottom has been struck. Sl ON THE SKAGUAY TRAIL. Experlence of John M. White In the Fearful Journey to the Klondike. SPOKANE, Wassu., Aug. 14.—Colonel Albert White of Rossland, who is now in the city, has received the foliowing letter from his brother, who was one of the first to join the Kiondike rush: BEKAGUAY TRAIL, ALASEA, N. W. : July 31, 1897. ‘ My Dear Brether—No doubt you heerd from Bert that I took the Klondike fever agd shipped for Alaska. Well, it isan awful hard position, but I will never turn my back on it now, except I get sick or die. If we can only get through before winter sets in (about the 20th of September) it will be all well, but it is an awful hard trail and 700 miles through lakes and rivers in an open boat. Joe (ihat worked for me at Renton), some “blooming Ecotchmen” and a north of Ireland man that | coffee. or die” fellows except one. considering sleeping on pork and bear We are all well, the ground, ete., and the toughest kind of T have taken to hot water. = We pack our grub ana blankets on horses and ou our backs. The Indians charge $400 per ton to vack from water to water. Idonot know what some of the poor fellows are going todo. They are gelled and footsore, shoul ders raw. But here is the place to see grit. Ifa man has 1500 pounds of grub (a year's supply) and from $300 to §500 in his pocket, he can get through pretty well, or else have your own horse, with those regular Spanish packsaddles made of leather or canvas, stuffed with straw or hair, costing $15. These little wooden pecksad lies are no good on this trafl. We got them-—we didn’t know any better— and for fear you or Hugh shouid get the fever Iam going to give youa few pointers. I ex- pect it will be better going in the spring, as they will no doubt find a shorter and better trail by British Columbia. On th:s Skaguay trail we have to cut our way through to the lakes, then go 700 miles or more over rap- ids and everything else that makes traveling dangerous and tough. Iexpectone in twenty to get there. They sre turning back already and selling their outfits. By the Dyea trail it is precipitous, and oniy Indians are able to pack more than fifty pounds at once over the summit and horses cannot get over, only sheep. BatI expect by spring they will have some steam engine | rigged up to haul the goods un. Itis a “noly terror” to look at itin its present state. Iwill send this by some one zoing back. Write me at Dawson City, N. W. T. Idonot know if I will get there this winter or mot, but that is my destination and 1 shipped some goods through to there by a schooner to St. Michael Island, thence by boat 2000 miles up the Yukon to Dawson City. This is farther away than the “‘old country.” Your affectionate brother, JoHN M. WHITE. I ean go to work for $15 a day just as soon as I get there and I have my own grub, S KLONDIKE MISSIONARIES. Two Are Sent Out by the Presby- terlan Board of Home Misslons. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 14.—Tne Presbyterian Board of Home Missions has decided to send two missionaries to the Klondike. This is the result of a large number of letters from Presbyterians ask- ing that missionaries be sent. Rev. Dr. M. J. McMillan, one of the board’s secretaries, has instructed Rev. 8. Hall-Young, pastor of the First Presby- terian Church of Wooster, Ohio, and Rev. Dr. George A. McEwen, a Presbyterian, of Bt. Louis, to proceed at once to Alaska, It is expected they will reach their desti- nation before winter sets in. Rev. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, moderator of tie Presbyterian General Assambly, is in Alaska and pushing on toward the Yukon, from which point he is expected to report to the Presbyterian home board of the general situation. The agreement about the territory in Alaska which gif- ferent denominations should work, so as not to conflict with each other, is still in force, but the gold fever and consequent exira demand in one section hesled all denominations to ignore the agreement. g Canada’s Customs Charges. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—In re- sponse to an inquiry asto the reported discriminating customs charges to be im- vosed by the Canadign Government on outfits of American miners for the Klon- dike arriving from Dyea and other points, the British Charge d’Affaires telegraphed the State Department from Manchester- by-the-Sea that the charges are those authorized by the ordinary revenue law of Canada. No special or unusual regnla- tions were made, he says, but, on the contrary, the instructions sent were to exempt miners’ blankets, personal cloth- ing, broken packages of provisions and cooking utensils in use. To make a food allowance vlear instructions have beef given for seasons to the customs officar at Tagish to exempt 100 pounds of food for the journey, charging ordinary customs duty only on the excess. Kiondike Patents. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—The Klondike craze has broken out in the United States Patent Office, and the rush .of Fort Yukon. new region of gold has cast Trilby and X- ray enthusiasts in the shade. Several ap- plications have alreadv been granted for Klondike inventions, and the department officials look for the usual deluge of appli- | cations that always follows a new and striking discovery in which the public at | large is interested. Golng on the Humboldt, SEATTLE, Wasm., Aug. 14.—The steam- ship Humboldt from San Francisco passed Port Angels at 4:30 this afternoon, and will likely reach Seattle about 6 o’clock in the morning. Itisexpected that she will get off for St. Michael to-morrow night. She will take on cons:derable freight here and about 120 passengers, Of this num- ber scarcely fifteen are from Seattle and neighboring points. They come largely trom Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New York and other Eastern cities. The manager of the company operating the Humboldtis Mayor William D. Wood. He will accompany the vessel north, and expects 10 be gone several months. At a meeting of the City Council this evening, Mayor Wood asked for aleave of absence for sixty days. The request was referred, and will not be acted upon until Monday. Itis the general opinion, however, that the request wili not be granted, in which event the office will be declared vacant after Mr. Wood has been absent sixty days. His term does mot expira until March next. - G S B Ladue’s Syndicate. PLATTSBURG, N. Y., Aug. 14.—Joseph Ladue, president, and E. F. Botsford, sec- retary and treasurer of the big mining syndicate they organized, leave here to- morrow for New York, where the stock of the syndicate recently formed for the de- velopment of Ladue’s claims on the Klon- dike will be placed on the market Tues- day. Among the incorporators of the company are the Lieutenant Governor- General of Canada, S. M. Weed; J. B. Riley, ex-United States Consual at Ottawa, and several prominent New York bankers. Included in the property which Ladue has put into the company is sixty city lots and his sawmill at Dawson, the Captain Healy quartz mine, across Yukon River from Dawson City, which is believed to be the mother lode, and other placer mines on Bonanza ana El Dorado creeks. Ladue will return to Dawson City next spring and assume the active management of the company affairs in that locality. The principal business office will be in New York. e Crewe Knows a Rich Spot. CHICAGO, Irn, Aug. 14.—Dr. Ernest 0. Crewe, a mining expert, will leave Chi- cago next Wednesday with a small party of prospectors for Alaska. . Crewe and party will prospect on American soil in a section which the doctor declares vastly richer in gold than the Klondike, Crewe, who is an Englishmen, spent several years in Alaska. He will not give the exact location of the Ei Dorado to which he is going, but says it Is 500 miles from the nearest trading post and northward “There will be a rush to the spot as soon as it becomes known,'’ said he to-day. *I know it is richer than the Kiondike, bz- cause 1 have visited both places. I was one of the first of twenty men to arrive at Circle City. I brought back $48,000 when Ireturned iast year,and 1 know the place’ is vastly richer than the Kiondike.” —_— New Route Map Prepared. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 14.—~The United States Coast and Geodetic Survey is publishing a new map, to be called ““A Route Mup from Junesu to Porcupine River, Alaska,” thirty statute miles to the inch, taking in the coast line east and west from BSitks, showing Chilcat, Chil- coot and White passes, White Horse and Riok (or Five Fingers) rapids and the Klondike region.

George Gou'd Afier Trespassors on His Trouting Preserves. KINGSTON, N. Y., Aug. 14.—George J. Gould has begun svit against Hiram Graham and his brother, Aaron Graham, for trespassing on his trouting preserves in the wilds of the Catskills. The trespass referred to was committed by the Graham brothers by fishing in Furlough Lake, | which is highly valued by Mr. Gould as | his choicest preserve. < The defense is to be a general denial, together with an allegation that Furlough Luke, although the property of Mr. Gould, was originally stocked with trout by the State of New York, and therefore the right to fish in its waters belongs to the public. The litigation is exciting a great deal of 1interest throughout the Causkills, as upon the outcome of this case depends the liberty of trout fishers to a certain ex- tent at least, the liberty of those who vearly pay to fish in the streams and inkes that were originally stocked by the State, but which have since been pre- empted by private individuals and mil- lionaires’ fishing clubs. Ever since Gould bes owned Furlough Lake he has been much troubled by fishermen, who, despite the many painted signs that literslly cover Gould’s preserves, have cared naught for the threats of the keepers em- ployed by Mr. Gould, allowing themseives to be driven away, only to return after vigilance had ceased. e BRRAN GUING 10 MEXICO, Seeks Material for an /ddress on the Money Question. Ll TOPEKA, Kaxs, Aug. 14,—At the head- quarters of tue allied silver. forces are- quest has been received from Bryan for copies of all dccuments and statistical ta- bles relating to the silver question in Mex- ico, and also for textbooks for acquiring a e.

He is making a study of the financial conditions of the two | countries, and will endeavor to show that | the Mexicans are more prosperous under | the operation of free silverthan the people | of the Urited States are with a gold ~tand- | ard. He says the facts regarding Mexico | were not properly presented in the last | campaign. The special infermation he | seeks is concerning a number of Ameri- cans who bave established themselves in Mexico within the past two years, and | the mount of American trade and capital there as a result of whut he styles a wise financial policy. H ——— 3 AN EYE FOR AN EYE, West Firginia’s G.vernor Passes Upon a Shooting Acrape. PARKERSBURG, W. VA, Aug. 14— About a year ago W. S. Kimes shot and seriously injured Benjamin Ball, because Ball had alienated the affeclions of Mrs. | Kimes. Judge Jackson gave him a sen- | tence of 24 hours in jsil and a fine of | $100 and costs, and then concurred in a | petition signed by many citizens piead- | ing for a remission of the fine. Governor | Atkinson Wednesday gave notice that he would remit the tine. The Governorsaid: “This is a remarkable case. The only rée- gret in the matter is thac Kimes did not kill Ball. He ought to have done so. Every man who has a soul will agree with me that he ought to i.ave killed bim. Hall ought to be imp:isoned for life. Kimes, should have practiced with a revolver or a double-barreled shotgun, so that when he made the attempt he would bave brougnt Ball down.” —_——— CHBICAGO AIDEEMAN FINED. Deflos the Grand Jury and I+ Adjudged Guilty «f Contempt. CHICAGO, Irv, Aug. 14.—Alderman ‘William Mangler was sentenced Wednes- day by Judge Dunne to pay a fine of §1000 and serve ninety days in the County Jail for contempt of court. Alderman Man- | gler a few weeks ago publicly stated that Dbe had been approached by a prominent business man with an offer of $2000 to vote for the general electric street-railway franchise ordinance. On beingsumisoned by the Grand Jury to testify to the name of the alleged business man, Alderman Mangler reiused, claiming that in telling | his story e would incriminate himself. This led to the contempt proceedings. The court sustained a motion oi Man- gler's atiorney for an appeal, and ruled ihat the Alderman could be released on bail. Bail was at once furnished in the sum of $5000. g e BIG OVERLaND SHEEP-DRIVE. How a Kansas City Commission Mer- chant Will Make Money. KANBSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 14.—J. A. Knoliin, a livestock commission merchant of this city, has bought in Orezon 80,000 sheep, which are now being driven over- land to Kansas, where they will be fed | next winter and marketed the following winter ana spring. This immense herd has been divided into twelve bandk, each of which is driven by eight men. The sheep are allowed to graze along the road- side each day. Thedrivers are furnisned with horses and camping outfit and while | the sheep rest at nigut the sheepnerders sleep in tents. The bards aredrivenabont twelve miles apart, and Mr. Kncllin ex- pects to reach Kansas by October. By driving the sheep overland instead of shipping them by rail the commission merchant will save perhaps $60,000, as the transportation charge from Oregon to Kansas amounts to $1 a head.

She was overcome by heat on Monday afternoon and fell uncon- scious. When she had been restored to consciousness she complained of a severs pain in the region of her heart and a diffi- culty in breathing. She soon commenced sneezing and found that she could not stop. All ordinary domestic remedies | proved unavailing, and medical advice | ‘Wwas procured. ‘The doctors have been with her day ahd night trying vainly to stop the sneezing, but without the least success.
