[&] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1897. been searching for eight days for the wrecked crew. | The wrecked crew were in a pitiable condition from exposure and lack of food. Mrs. Whitesides, wife of the captain, made the journey from the wreck dressed in a full Esquimo costume, and upon reach- ing the Bear one of the first duties de- vo'ving on the host was to find some suitable clothing for her. By dint of searching ana scraping together calico, flannel and odd bits of cloth and with the help of the Bear’s tailor, a complete dress was made for her after two days’ work. Mrs. Dr. Marsh, Government teacher at Cape Smythe, assisted in adding to Mrs, Whitesides' wardrobe later on the voyage. Mrs. Whitesides stood the trying journey over the ice better than some of the men and her turn at dragging the boat over the ice. Captain Tuttle of the Bear said that when he met the whaling *fleet August 2 he heard from other vessels that the Nevarch had been pinched in the ice- yack, but it was expected the pack would open and allow the whaler to free herself When the Nevarch had not been sighted after several days’ cruising along theopen water, it wasdecided to begin a search for her. The whaler was finally sighted, but when the bear attempted to steam toward her the way was blocked by a solid wall of ice, the Nevarch being at least ten miles from free water. No lead into the pack could be found, although a day was spent searching for | oue. When night came the dritt ice be- ceme so heavy as to compel the Bear to shift into free water or take a chance of being caught in the pack. The day followiig the Bear put back to the pack, this time succeedinz in getting within five miles or the whaler. Flags were set on board the Nevarch, and with glasses some p2ople could be discerned in the rigging. A close watch was kept ia the hope of seeinz some one come from the whaler. Butin the afternoon a heavy fog settled over the ice and shat out the | view. In the neantime two of the whaling | fleet had sizhted the Nevarch,and two | skin boats and native crews were puton board the Orca preparatory to attempting rescue the wrecked crew. At nooa, Angust 12, the fog liited near the land and the Bear put off to the edge of the pack, finaliy making fast to th: ground ice. Despite all efforts the cutter could not | get within seven milesof the Nevarch, | and native boatsand crews in charge of whaling captains were then started across | the ice. | A fog turned the relief party back from | the ice and the Bear then took ail handa | tack to the refage station. From this time until August 17 fog and rain made the relief work futile. Tho last time the Nevarch was sighted (August 15) she was drifting in the pack. The Bear continued to follow along the edge of the pack until the party was p cked up. | Twenty-nine of the crew left the Nevarch August 12 to cross the ice for open water, hoping to fall in with natives. Captain Vhitesides and his party did not quit the vessel until two days afterward. At that time none of the first party had been | heard from. Some of the men refused to leave the whaler. These were: Fireman Thomas Lord, Cook John Hanna, Seamen | o T. Collins, M. Hurley, R. Bergmann, J. | Brem, J. ‘Siate, 0. Peterson and Cabin | Boy F. Guttner. | The ship’s papers having been left on board, the names of those comprising the first pariy could not be learned. Captain Whites.des and wife will remain on the Bear uniil Unalaska is reached, some time | in September. All the whalers frozen in | off Herscheil Island last year are reported to have come out safelv on July 10. They 1 had all passed Point Barrow, bound east- | ward, by August 10, excepting the Nevarch | and the steamer Jeanie.

Allen, | Herman Schroder and Frank Segrin, the only men on the vessel who came out | from the Miller Creek district. The men | have been working together in partner- ship in claims on Miller Creek, and bring | ou. with them a nice littie clean-up, amounting to $70,000. Of this Al'en isthe owner of $35,000, Schroder has $18,000 and Segrin §17.000, and the three men pooled their fortunes on thedown trip by putting the dust in one lot and turning it over to tne care of the purser of the steamer. The | money which these men bring back with them represents their work and manage- ment in the mines during the past season. Neither of them sold his claim nor any part of it, the money being actual dust taken out of their partially developed mines located on Miller Creek. Inquiry develops that the dirt from the surface is unusually rich slong the creek, | wherever claims nave been staked. It is said te run from J0 cents up to the pan and to be richly profitable from the time the first shovelful of earth is turned up. The result ot ths work of the trio of miners hasaiready led to quite a small rush to the Miller Creek district, and thus for nothing but excellent reports have been neard from there. The three part- ners are coming south to spend the winter and will purchase coraplete outfits during their stay, which wiil be carried in at the earliest opportunity in the spring. They have little o offer in the way of news, but express the utmost confidence in Miiler Creek district, claiming it to be as rich if not richer than any other creek in the | famea north. Tne first piece of information volun- teered by M. Misamore when questioned about the Klondike was that the Clarence Berry claim had made another clean-up of 112 pounds of gold, or about $23.000. Misamore is a resident of Portland, and is returning from a season in the mines. He brings with bim something like $3000 in dust, and when asked about his Jucs, re- ‘I baven’t much with me, you un- derstand, but I guess I will be able to eat for a few days.” Misamore was the only man on the steamer who came from the newly found diggings on the Munook Creek. Since early in the spring he has been drifting about the mining districts, and it was chiefly the threatened scarcity of food which led him to come out at this time. the spring. “Tne Munook was named after an old Indian, who made the first strikes,” said Misamore. “I have been working my claim with the assistance of my son, and T am glad to say it bids fair to make mea rich man. The Munook empties into the Yukon 400 miles below Circle City. The first discovery was made there August 15, two years ago, aud there are now proba- bly a hundred locations filed there. Per- haps sixty men are working there and on its tributary, Hunter Creek. ‘The Munook is very easily worked and runs heavy in gold. You find the yellow metal every- ! { | | | | sell asingle pound of supplies. | tenant Milis where, but the real want of the people is grub, “Thaere is none to spare on the Munook and nowhere to turn to getany. On the last trip of the Healy when she called at Munook she was besieged by miners beg- 1g to buy foot. The captain refused to I myself aad orders for provisions, but could get nothing atall. This is what brought me to the determination to come out at once. Three of my fellow-passengers down the river from this district took passage on the Excelaior. “1 velieve the Excelsior is the banner toat of the season. She can discount the | Cleveland both as to passengers ana gold dust. Tanana River, which heads up near Forty-mile and empties 500 miles south of Circle City, is showing up very well at the beadwaters. There is much talk also 10 be beard concerning Copper River. The Copper heads in the other side of the ridge from the Munook, and the two rivers are in a manner associated by an incident with the Government expedition, which under Liearenant Miils explored to its head, crossing to the Munook on the same trip. They had a cook with them named Johnson. This same cook has now the richestclaim on Munook River, Lieu- is the man who named the much-dreaded Mills Canyon on the Yukon. News about Stewart River is being kept very quiet. Someof the new-comers are going that way, and the general opinion is that good dirt has aiready been struck. Freight rates at the mines are unreason- ably high. The pack from Dawson to El Dorado cost 35 cents a pound by trail, and the trail is so bad that a prospector can- notcarry in his own provisions without hiring help. Wages are high, averaging between $10 and $15 a day for ordinary work. Before I quit you, let me caution you to say that if people don’t care to die of slow hunger they had better stay out of the Klondike this winter.” H. J. Burrows of Portland, Or., who comes south on the Cleveland, has a fund of general information concerning Daw- son City and the Klondike. He went into the mines early in the spring, going from Portland in the interest of several pros- pectors and to incidentally select a paying “hole” for himself should it prove possi- ble. e all others who came down on the steamer his first words were concern- ing the food outiook during the ccming winter, and his statements on the score are anything but encouraging. “I fear for every man and woman in there regardless of whétner they have money or are penniless,” said the Port- laader to a CALL reporter. *‘The truth is the people in the mines are in a precari- ous condition. Any way I look at it I see nothing but a shortage of food, not just a little, but starvation for the more unfortu nate. The situation may be relievea slight- ly ifthe steamer J. J. Healy makes another successfal trip and carries n<thing but food up the river, but this has not been the policy up there. Everything—food, supplies of every description—nas huti to give way to the transportation of whisky, Whny? Simply because there are more doliars in bauling liquor. Cargoes have gone up that river in the face of closed stores and a lack of food in summer with practically little in their make-up other than l'quor. In a nutshell the situation is just this: There are more people in the Klondike than there will be food for. Every available meany of transportation is used to carry in supplies until tbe river closes, The opporiunity to carry legitimate freight to the mines has been neglected until now too late to mend the condition. Yes, itis an outrage, but it is the cold truth, which must be stared straight 1n the face, and noone knows it any better than do those who are tied up ihere with little or no chance at all of getting out. I am not an alarmist, but I do not intend to gloss over the actual facts, particularly as you | say you are to quote me. It might be | worse, of course, but it is bad enough, I assure you. There are no end of people [who cannot possibly get 10 the coast be- | fore winter, and these wiil be the suf- | ferers. gold on bogrd and who has it? Very | little. I did not operate any mines and ‘K have very little knowledge of the people | on board who come out with ‘stakes. | There may be about $500,000all teld on the vessel. Such is the general opinion; but | the miners themselves are loth to talk of their treasure. They hoid that so many big yarns have gone abroad from the | Klondike that people are flocking in there | to their own destruction, not knowing what they will have to contend with. I | have been told the miners on the vesse! | have agreed among themselves to say as little as po-eible about their gold for this reason. You will find them all ciose- mouthea. As near as [ know all have some gold. A few have as much as $35,000 and $40,000 each, others $10,000 to $15,000 and many from $2000 tc $5000, possibly less. But a small portion of the gold has been placed in charge of the ship’s of- ficers, the miners in many cases keeping their treasure in their own, possession. ““Wages in the mines are stiil at their old scale. Miners working in the holes get $15 and skilled laborers get §15 a day in town. What we call common labor is paid atthe rateof $§10 aday. There are now from 4C0 to 620 more laboring men of all classes than there is work for. I mean there is this number of idle men about Dawson living from hane to mouth in many instances. All seem willing to work, but the labor market is decidediy over- stocked. Just think what the condition will be when the m n now going in and waiting to get in arrive at Dawson. Here, too, is where the food question pinches, 1 really dread to think of what I am sure must happen in there this wimter because of the shortage of food. *‘Not long before I feft a representative of a sort of protsctive association formed at Skaguay came up to look over the ground and report back to his people. After learning the truth he bad us all sign a statement outlining the facts and giving as our advice that it would be worse than foolish to come into Dawson, or, in fact, any place 1n the region. 1 have not heard what effect this may have, but I hope these people will heed the warning. I forgot to mention when speaking of wages that early this summer the mine-owners tried to reduce wages to $10 & day. The men de- clined to accept the reduction, and after a short talk the old scale was continued in force. ‘1l was a passenger on the steamer Weare which went on the sand and it was August 15 before the J. J. Healy finally got us away. Thedelay meant a great loss to some on board. Fortunately itdid not af- fect me, but for all that it was very trying because we think it was unnecessary. No one knows how the accident happened. 1t was daylight and it scemed almost out of the question for the Weare to have goton the sand. If she had a man at the wheel it seems he ought to have avoided going up high and dry, Of course all of us were put out by delay, and so far as I know none of the passengers lelt her satisfied. We did not get what we thought we were entitled to; we were not treatez as we had bee.n promised we would be, and the delay made matters worse. The company held us.again at St. Michael after agreeing to soip us on the first boat. Everything on the Weare was transferred to the Healy. | Nothing in the way of baggage was lost. 3 = Government Stagoon / 760 Scate of sem Mctes e\, W\ 3 ey, |MAP OF THE ARCTIC OCEAN From Mack nzie River to Point Barrow, Showing Where the Whaling Steamer Nevarch Was Nipped in the Ice.

The princi- pal houses are of course made of logs, so called up there, and are not only very ex- pensive but hard to build because of lack of material at hand. A loghouse up there is made from poles, the largest of which measure about four inches in di- ameter. Poles of this size and of suffi- cient length for a cabin cost from $4 to §8 a piccy, so you may understand what 1t medns to buitd a log cabin in the Klon- dike. “It is my intention to report to my friends in Portland the whole truth as I found it on the Klondike, and use my in- fluence to prevent any foolish expeditions out of season. I'know thatIam voicing the sentiments of everv man that bas come out of the Klondike in the past few montbs, and I say that it is worse than foolish to make any attempt to get into the mines this year. It makes little dif- ference whether one goes equipped with plenty food or not. As I have explained to you before, the one thing to do is to stay out at least until next spring, and every man in the district will indorse what I sav on this point.” J. H. Wirt and J. B. Hartley, both of Seattle, are passengers on the Cleveland and are two of the crew of ship carpen- ters who went to St. Michael to build the steamer Hamilton. They say that they had a good trip both upand down and that their worz on the steamer was very satisfactory. After finishing the Hamil- ton they built a barge, which was launched immediately after it was completed. entire crew worked through the fever heat of the Klondike excitement and not a single man left his task to go to the niines. They are all proud of the woik they have done and .speak in laudatory tones of the new vessel their hands built. But for the adverse reports from the mines at the time the men finished their ship carpentering it is likely that something like a dozen of thewm would have cone into the Klondike. The news brought down about the scarcity of fooi led them to wisely decide upon returning bome, and excepting C. Campbell and Ed Buckman they all came :outh. Buckman went to visit a brother in Dawson City and Camp- bell accepted a position on the new steamer which he helped to build. The shipbuilders have the honor, if it can be so called, of starting the first grave- yard at St. Michael. ' One of their nvm- ber, George Grincier of Seattle, died a short time after the crew reacned the scene of their labor. Helieson the island and a plain white cross, significant of his faith, was placed over his grave. On the cross is the name of the first white man ever buried on Si.

L. V. Holder, 22 years o!d, was found in his bunk on the Cleveland and was one oi the most enthu-iastic on board, on ac- count ot his escape trom Dawson before the winter. Holder is from New York State and went to the mines with money enough to see him through and with which to pick up a bargain hereand there. He went in by way of the Chilcoot Pass | early last spring, but he bad enough ex- perience to make his opinion of value, “First off,” said the New Yorker, *‘you tell all the young fellows that the Kion- | dike 1sa good place to steer cleur of just at this time. I went in there with a little | money, did alittle prospecting and moved | about a great deal. Isaw a!l I wanted of | it, and I predict much suffering up Ihere} this winter. It's sickly. There’s a iack of food and shelter such as the climate de- mands. “Yes; I found plenty of py dirt, but could not mine it. You see, the ground | is all mushy, and a3 as a-hole is dug ; it fills up. I think or nnot mine there | to any advantage in summer, except in 8 very few places. ¥ood is bound to bc1 scarce.

An early and severe | winter is predicted by all the old-timers, and the Indians, 100, say the same. My | advice Is to keep out of the Kiondikes at this time. I don’t care how well equipped you may be to go in, money will not buy | | flour and meat when there's none to be | had at any price. There will be so many | people in want of food this winter that if a man gets in with a good supply he will bave to diviie it. He could not see men | | starve near him, of course, and especially | when the hungry ones are willing to pay | any price for food. The Klondike is not | such a snap as some men seem to believe, iand those who have not been on the| ground cannot appreciate the real condi- tions there. The prinecipal dread is a lack 1 of food there during the winter, and all who can do so try hard to get down the river before tue freeze.” Holder is en route to his home in New York. He brou-ht some gold out with bim, probably §2000, and says he will not | | return to the Klondike. | Charles Engla of New York City, who | | bas been in the Yukon for thres years, | fe and four ch ldren. | | | comes out with his wi He sold out his interests there, and practi- aliy fled for fear of starvation. “The people who are going in there this winter,” he said, ‘are crazy. There wiil be 10,000 people in tuere tbis winter, and very little to feed them. At least 1500 men will come out before winter sets in if they | can get away. When I left Dawson there | were at least 6000 people there, and they | wera coming in at the rate of forty to fifty | aday. Very little attempt has been made | | to build houses, for logs cost §6 each, and | i if they do not want to freeze to death the | coming winter they will have to take their | small boats and go down the river im- | | mediately to Circle City or Forty Mile. I started down from Dawson oa the Weare, and when that steamer ran aground on the bar near Circle City I got | aboard the Healy with my family and | came out down to St. Michael. The | | Weare is undoubtedly done for until | summer, and her services are a severe loss to the miners, as all the boats are nceded {hat can possibly be breught into requisi- | tion to get supplies up the river, and the | Yukon will freeze before they reach their destination.
