It is not likely that they will ever mush again. But hour after hour they mush in fancy as they sit in deep leather chairs, and they see visions of gold the cigar smoke circling about their hoary heads. They are hard-bitten, these sourdoughs of the Arctic club—Billy Chappelle, and Sam Stanley, and Jake Berger of Nome, and “Skipper” Norwood, who left his whaler to join the Klondike rush, and came out rich. | Other sourdoughs sit about the lobby of the Frye hotel, and there, too, the talk is all of gold and rumors of gold filtering down from the Shushanna. Turn from there to Butler’s saloon, on First av., at Pioneer square. Here again are old-timers, and as hard-bitten as the men at the Arctic club; but not rich. a In their breasts hope is flaming. Lean, some of them grizzled, tough of fiber and strong, veterans aforetime of camp and trail, they are going north again. Tom Jackson, who “struck it rich” in the Klondike; Jim Murray, Billy Devine, Jack Peterson, veter- ans all—they are going north on the steamship Northwestern, which leaves at 9 o'clock Wednesday night. More than 100 men have booked passage on the Northwestern, and all the horse passage, accom- modating more than 100 animals, has been taken. | On Tuesday the freighter La Touche departs. She will go loaded to capacity with horses, cattle, pro- visions and all manner of supplies for the thousands who are preparing to rush from McCarthy to the, Shushanna, valley. ’ ; ? ; Not all are going to dig for the yellow metal.
