Bribery Seems to Run Rampant and Rights of Poor Miners Usurped by Powerful Corporations. BY SAM W. WALL. Bpecial Correspondence of The Call. DAWSON, N. W. T, Aug. 31.—To- morrow will witness another of the big stampedes, such as have characterized the history of this camp. And out of it will no doubt come another of the outrageous scandals that have gone hand in hand with them. Under a rul- ing of the Gold Commissioner all claims the proper representation months’ continuous labor ad not been done within the pre- bed time-limit of one year, were to ert to the crown upon September 1. 1s given out that these claims were old to the highest bidder, but publicly or not was not stated. A at many claims have not been properly represented and among them are some of great value. The reasons for the non-representation are many. The scarcity of food at this point last winter drove many of the owners away to where became entangled in other matts th ers, 24 or to where, for a multi- tude of other reasons, they could not return within the time. Many of the claims were sent out for sale and pend- ing negotiations the work was neglect- ed here. As September 1 drew near Gold Commissioner Fawcett changed his mind. The reason is not known. There was a good deal of complaint concerning and criticism of the ruling which took so many more claims out -of the reacH of the miner and prospec- tor, following that other law that ap- propriated to the crown every alter- nate ten claims on every newly located creek. At any rate a new order was promulgated under which the unrepre- sented claims should be thrown-dpen to &ll who held miners' certificates for re- location. This was at first hailed with some joy, which, however, very soon became tempered ‘with suspicion. It began to appear that certain persons were securing information as to the lo- cation of valuable claims where répre- sentation work had not been reported. Individuals, closely in touch with the Gold Commissioner’s office were known to bé canvassing the creeks and taking note of all claims where there was even the glightest technical failure to fulfill the requirements. Men are posted on or near the unrepresented claims and to-morrow will see the driving of a forest of stakes all through the mining district and a tremendous rush upon the Gold Commissioner’s office, which will probably be congested for weeks to come with applicants for recording. So great has become the general gust at the mismanagement and evi- dent corruption in the Gold Commis- sioner’s office that I hear of a move- ment being talked of looking to the pre- ferment of charges of bribery against every one connected with it. The men active in revolt are all of them Eng- lishmer, Canadians and Australians, the latter being the leaders and by far the most outspoken in denunciation of the methods and mismanagement of the office at this time. Gold Commis- sioner Fawcett is almost universally acquitted of being a party to fraud or corruption, but there is little charity for him on that account inasmuch as it is allowed such license under his eyes. Fawcett acts the part of a clerk in his own office and when not engaged in hearing contests of claims is found standing at a desk and issuing miners’ certificates or making record of claims at $10 and $15 a head. He certainly earns his salary if merely putting in the full time in his office day by day does that. . Many charge the. irregulari- ties of his office to this fact, declaring that he is so busy with small affairs that he is unalle to see What is so clear to everybody else. 3 haps, of-all the high officials of the out- going administration, been most direct- ly and personally criticized as having fathered or been interested in many of the monopolies and rings that ‘have worked to the great harm of the free (?) winer. The day before he took the steamer for the outside he attacked a young newspaper man, Leroy Pelatier, a Canadian, for having written too freely concerninig him ‘to his home paper. Pelatier was called upon to withdraw his statements, refused and was knocked down and badly beaten. 'Wade is as big' a fellow as Pelatier is slight. The air took place in the warehouse of the N, A. T. Company, and was evidently prearranged by Wade, the editor of a friendly paper being present by invitation. Among the many petty annoyances to which the people at large are sub- Jected is the lack of sufficient clerical Prosecuting Attorney Wade has, per- | force in the Gold:. Commissioner’s. office and the postoffice. It was thought that this had been corrected in’ the office,’ but the-Jong line of impatient door now as before. There has been no | Commissioner’s. The habit of feeing the policeman on guard at the side door by way of gaining admittance has | grown until it is'next to impossible. to the ‘briberies monest and pettiest of | that ‘make .a part transaction -with: the Government -of- | fices, insomuch that Canadians confess to a_sense of shame in being = Cana- dians. Within the past few.days no- the effect that exclusive facilities and privileges. have -been granted to .a company for securing mail from the postoffice, and that this company will deliver mail to individuals promptly at $6 per quarter and to business firms at $10 per quarter. It would Seem to one who had grown accustomed to the methods here that this was only a 're- adjustment of the old plan, a transfer of the required fee from the plain, vellow-striped policeman to the favored corporation. A corporation has the right to place booms at the mouth of the Klondike, and so no individual has the right to so much as a stick of drift- wood in that river. A corporation has, or several corporations have, the right to the timber on almost all the islands, and for miles and miles along the shores of the Yukon, sothatindividuals are warned against cutting cabin logs, and any who do so take great chances of having them confiscated upon reaching Dawson. Arrived in Dawson the individual is confronted with the | big townsite corporation holding its building lots at. figures impossible to the average prcspector. He is warned off the wide stretch of level lands that is the townsite and compelled to build his cabin on the distant hills, where it will be almost a day’s job to get water during the winter. American doctors and American law- yers aré forbidden to practice here. The lawyers in many cases effected a compromise by associating themselves with Canadians, the Americans doing the office work and the Canadians: go- ing into court and appearing solely as the counsel of record. = This . worked very well for both parties to the ar- rangement, for the great majority of the population are Americans, and: the American lawyer is thus readier at se- curing clients. - With the doctors it was different, there being no necessity for relying upon the Americans, and :an edict absolute was written against them. One prominent doctor, continu- ing to attend a patient after natice was served, was thrown into jail. The patient died -and that was another scandal. ‘No American doctor is per- mitted to put out a sign that he is such. A In the meantime the hospitals - are crowded with patients, and ~ typhoid fever has become epidemic. The grave- vard, now almost in the heart of the rapidly grown town, gives almost con- stant occupation’ to: the grave .digger. There are eighty-three patients in the Catholic hospital and forty in the re- cently opened Good Samaritan, more than either has proper provision: for. The -capacity- of thé Catholic hospital is being doubled as fast as men’ can construct the addition, private hospi- tals are being opened and sickness. is to be found in cabins and tents in ev_ry part of the town. There is no public records of the deaths or burials. Since it opened a short time ago there have been two-deaths at the Good Samaritan Hospital—Albert-Smith, a German, and Duncan Bertram, a Frenchman. There have died at the Catholic hospital since my last report: ~ G. G. Sparks, on ‘the 14th Inst., of scurvy; Lewis Arsenault, on the 15th, of typhoid: Otto Willner, on the 20th, typhold; Achille Butan, 23d, typhoid; Thomas Tennent of London, England, 24th, typhold; James Sheehe of Virginia City, Nev., 26th, pneumo- s post- | men takes its daily place in front of the | | interruption in the nuisance at the Gold | | get in any other way.

Flags are at half mast- to-day - be- |.cause of the death of Captain Barring- ton, master -of the steamer Willie Irv- ing, that has made such a record this summer in plying safely and .swiftly. | the Upper Yukon. = Captain Barring- {ton has been sick about two weeks and has recéived the best af care.

Robbery ‘and assault, that had be- come . notable for its absence, has re. cently brokén out with considerable violence. = The ferryman on the Klon- dike has twice been held up within the week; a man on the El Dorado trail was shot at, beaten and robbed a few days ago; a hole was cut in a window on Front street and a thief made away with a handful of nuggets. A number of thefts are reported of caches. Few arrests are made. The disgust and disappointment of thousands who are camped here, and who know of no other way to recoup themselves, are In this finding some expression. On the whole, however, this is a marvelously orderly town, considering the composition of it. The building of the town keeps up its tremendous pace. Almost every day sees the foundation laid for some big warehouse or business house as well as a score of cabins. The little city takes on a new complexion with each week as it passes. The two big companies, the ‘Alaska Commercial and North American Trading and Transportation, are still at the front as the two largest commercial houses here, but they are by no means the only ones, as was the case.last fall. Immense warehouses of a full dozen other com- panies have ranged -themselves along the water front beside them. Tons and tons and tons of provisions have. been landed here, together with boat loads of other freight in which is included al- most every article that by any possi- bility might be desired. Prominent in this varied freight are- silk' dresses. There was ev - a high silk hat came to town and a man wore it. down through the ' main street against a wager that he dare not. It returned to to the starting point intact, but ap- peared ypon the streets not again. Thirty boats kave landed thejr freight and passengers here thus far this sum- mer and:many more are on the way. Many of.these brought barges. The Louise alone, with two barges, brought nine hundred tons.-. The Seattle Nos: 1 and 2 have just landed 300 tons of flour. No, - there will be no scarcity of pro- visions this wiater; but it is quite -evi- dent. that a high - average price will be be ‘bought -in’ the big stores under 25 cents; while butlter is.still $1 50-a pound. Butter is either really scarce or is.be- ing withheld from the market. None of it has a_ peared in the auctions for some time. The cry of the auctianeer is heard everywhere about the streets in the evening. He hds an infinite varisty of wares to sell and they still go off at very low prices, save the provisions which run as an average a little below the store prices. The tendency of the crowd is to get rid of its outfit and get out. Rates have been quoted lately as low as $60 to St. Michael by regular steamers.

He finished shortly before adjournment, after talking for one and a half * days. Attorney Morehouse .then opened his argument in favor of sustain- ing the defendant's demurrer. A few anute! after he- commenced the court adjourned until: Tuesday morning, at which time he will proceed. : Delmas’ argumient was strong and con- vincing.
