Spectal Dispatch to The Call. | JUNEAU, Alaska, July 4 (by steam- | ship Al-Ki to Seattle, July 7).—The ilul st strike on the other side of the | divide is one of quartz. One thousand men at least have made locations on the reck of Nine-mile Creek, which pours its waters, speckled with gold, | into the lake with the prosaic name of | Mud, which is a few miles this side of | White Horse Rapids. It is a quartz of | free-milling gold, easy to work. No ex- | citement at or around Dawson has ever | exceeded that occasicned by this dis- cove | This is how the discovery was made: | A goldseeker, in dipping his felt hat into the stream to catch water to drink, | picked up a quart of sand, which he, after slaking his thirst, panned out, with the result that a number of flakes | of gold as large as, but thinner than, i]aku gold, remained in the dip of the hat. The gravel bed was small, and a hunt was at cnce begun for the origin of the gold, which was located in the quartz | on the sides of the creek. Every man | now going into Dawson drives stakes on Nine-mile Creek on any kind of rock. Not less than 100 men, who have been luc; in making the best lo- cations, will remain on Nine-mile Creek and not proceed to Dawson. | Some of the quartz, pounded up in a mortar, shows a quantity of geld that indicates that it will run $900 to the ton. The whole top of the earth is mountains and rock, and if the ledge holds out fabulous wealth is yet to be | ground cut on Mud Lake. Steamboats now carry gold seekers from Lake Bennett to Dawson in three days, returning on the up-current trip in ten days, fare down $100; from Dav | son to Bennett $250. There are now four steamers on the Lewis-Yukon run from Lake Bennett. One small craft, the Irwin, which plies between Ben- nett and White Horse Kapids, is re- ported to have cleared $20,000 since the opening of navigation in May. The shores of both lakes are ship yards which are yet far from deserted. By | these steamers by v of Dyea, Daw- | son is enly four days from Juneau and eight days from Puget Sound. Gold hunters are leaving Wrangel and the Stickeen like rats deserting a sinking ship. . Every steamer which comes north carries many men and outfits from Wrangel. Patriotism in this time of war runs high in Alaska. Tons of red fire is be- ing burned to-night in Juneau, Doug- las, Sitka and Wrangel. Governor | Brady, who has just returned from | Washington, D. C., has reported that President McKinley does not expect | any volunteers from Alaska, but he ex- pressed -a wish that a national guard should be formed here. At once the Takon Braves, a local social organization, took up the work and a braver or better looking lot of young men would be hard to find. Charles 8. Rosener of California is the organizer and Tom Smith, formerly an employe of the Risdon Iron Works, is Chief Tyee. This company will to-day apply to Secretary Alger for uniforms and arms. 1.AL HOFFMAN.
