San Francisco, July 2 The steamer Portland, which arrived from Cape Nome, reports that the steamer Boe cram, formerly the transport Missouri, baa gone aground about 00 miles south of Cape Nome. While her situation is not considered perilous, it is thought she will have considerable difficulty in getting off. The Bosecrans has a cargo of government supplies on board. The Portland brought Ave passengers only, according to Captain Lnndquist The steamer Charles Nelson had i hard time of it. She returned to Una laska June 18. While trying to find an opening in the ice her provisions gave out. fche was to have sailed again for Cape J.ouie shortly after the Portland left Dutch Harbor. The captain of the Corwin was holding the wrecked barkentine Catherine Sudden at Nome for salvage. Captain Lnndquist, speaking of the conditions at Nome, said: "What a man get hold of np there he keeps, and in many instances he keeps it at the point of a gun. Bestan- rants, lodging-houses, saloons, stores, barber shops, and in fact all kinds ot business was left in the hands of agents last fall. These agents have sold the places and cleared out with the money Now the original owners are appearing on the scene, and there are 'razors in the air.' ' 'On the beach it was just 60 per cent worse than np town. In the town as a general rule there was only about one claimant to other mem' property in each case, but on the beach there waa never less than six. Agents sold things right and left, and in conse quence there will be endless litigation before things are straightened out.' No wonder all the big claim-owners took up lawyers with them." The Portland brought 10 boxes of gold, aggregating $300,000, belonging to the Alaska Commercial Company, Port Townsend. Wash., July 3. The steamer Al-Ki arrived from the north tonight, bringing 60 passengers and $250,000 in dust from Dawson, which had been brought np the river on the steamre Sybil. Among the passengers on the Al-Ki ia Lieutenant J. S. Her ron, ot the Eighth United States cav airy, who a year ago started from Cook Inlet with a small command and crossed a hitherto unpenetrated conn try leading for hundreds of miles over mountains, valleys and plains to the mouth of the Tanona. The expedition was deserted by Indian guidee, and for some months fears for the safety ot the party were entertained, but on Decem ber 11 the party reached the month of the Tanaua, where orders were received to remain nntil spring. The objeot of tne expedition was to ascertain the feasibility of the route through Alaska and to obtain information a to miners, timbers and general data of that sec tion of Alaska between Cook Inlet and the Yukon river. For nearly a year the party was without news from the outside world. Lieutenant Herron is on the way to Seattle for orders. Colonel E. D. Wiggin, land commis sioner at Rampart, ia among the pas sengcrs on the Al-Ki, bringing the first news from that section. He says the camp proved itself better laBt winter than ever before, and creeks be fore cousidered worthless turned out to be big gold-proudoers. He estimates the clean-up at $3,000,000. Iiampart was deserted the early part of last winter, only 400 or 500 people, who were not rich- enough to go to Nome, remaining. They comprised .Steamboat hands and unfortnnate min ers. When development work com menced it was soon proved that Bam part Creek was rich, and those who were at first out ot luck are now on the high road to fortune, and Rampart bids' fair to rival the Klondike as a gold-producer.
