full List Perils Attending the
Journey.
San Fkancisco, July 20. Notwith
standing the suggestious of the miners
on the advantages of traveling overland,
the Excelsior, which will sail on the
28th, is booking passengers for Dawson
City by the score, and will close its books
in a day or so. Tbe steamer will arrive
at St. Michael's early in August, in time
to connect with the river boats running
to Dawson. The goldseekers will reach
their destination about September 5. As
the Yukon will be frozsn by October 1,
no one who does not go soon will be able
to reach Dawson this year by way of St.
Michael's. Hundreds will doubtless
make tbe journey overland from Juneau
after the closing of the navigable
streams.
The AlaBka Commercial company has
500,000 pounds of supplies at St. Mich
ael's, all of which will be forwarded to
Dawson by boat before the closing of the
river. The North American Transporta
tion company has an equal amount of
food and clothing at St. Michael's.
A party of 40 men is preparing to
charter a schooner and sail to Juneau,
from which point they will make the
journey overland to Dawson. j
It is bard to say at this time how many
San Franciscans will' leave tor the new
Eldorado. Hundreds are considering
tbe question, but the danger and tbe
possibilities of failure will keep many of
them from swelling tbe population of
Dawson City or any of the new towns
which will spring up, or from journey
ing to possible new fields which may be
discovered. The problem is a difficult
one to solve, but the chances are that a
couple of hundred will leave here be
tween now and next spring.
The Walla Walla eails this morning
with but few Yukoners. The Walla
Walla will connect with the Mexico,
which will take most of the miners
bound for Juneau. The Yukon rush has
caused the Pacific Coast company to ar
range an extra steamer trip, which will
be tbe George W. Elder, to leave Port
land for Juneau soon, stopping at
Seattle.
WANTS TO COLLECT DUTIES.
Victoria Merchant's Novel Proposition
to Dominion Government.
Victoria, B. C, July 20. This city is
full of prospective miners waiting Tor the
boats to take them North. In ehort, the
gold lever has struck the town, and
scores of men are throwing up good po
sitions in order to seek their fortunes in
the Clondyke gold fields.
John Pierce, a wholesale merchant,
has made a somewhat novel proposition
to tbe Dominion government. He has
offered to pay $50,000 per annum for a
period of five or ten years, for the privi
lege of collecting duty on goods going in
to the Canadian section of the Yukon
country. To his telegram to this effect
the authorities as yet not vouchsafed an
answer, but it is believed customs offi
cers will be sent there to collect duty on
American goods which are being taken
into the country.
A HAZARDOUS UNDERTAKING.

ing company, is receiving hundreds of
letters asking information regarding
Alaska. He said today :
"The boats .which sail from Seattle
this month are full every passage taken.
That means that anyone who wants to
go to Clondyke must wait for the August
boats. And the journey is 7000 miles.
People talk about it as if it walking
across the street. They don't realize
what Alaska is what the Yukon is.
They will need a map to convince them
of the truth that the country of the Yu
kon and its tributaries in Alaska and
British America is as large as the whole
country east of the Mississippi that it
is longer than a trip to Europe before
they reach Behring sea and the mouth
of the Yukon ; that by tbe time tbey
strike tbe Yukon the Alaskan Arctic
winter will be upon them. By Septem
ber 20 the winter settles down and the
Yukon country is frozen solid till next
May. "
. "The expenses of getting from Chica
go to Seattle is $60, and from Seattle to
Behring sea $150. There will he thous
ands of Eastern men who will go, but of
course the coast people have everything
in their favor.
"One thing must be remembered, that
the Clondyke country is in British do
main and will be governed accordingly."
The True Remedy.
W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111.,
"Cheif," says: "We won't keep house
without Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex
perimented with many others, but never
got the true remedy until we used Dr.
King's New Discovery. No other rem
edy can take its place in our borne, aB
in it we have certain and sure cure for
Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc."
It is idle to experiment with other rem
edies, even if they are nrged on you as
just as good as Dr. King's New Discov
ery. They are not as good, because this
remedy has a record of cures and besides
is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy.

Bank Cashier Was Brave and the Rob
bers Came to Grief.
Odkll, 111., July 20. Two men en
tered tbe Williams bank and placing a
revolver at the head of Cashier Van
Buskirk ordered him to throw up his
bands and pass over the cash. Van
Bnskirk was ready to meet just such an
emergency, as he had weapons at his
command, winch he.raised to shoot at
the intruders. The robbers .fled. The
cashier at once gave the alarm. People
on bicvcles, horses, wagons, buggies and
afoot ran after the robbers, who ran to
the east end of the town where they
jumped in a buggy driven by two boys.
They drove the horse hard until they saw
that the pursuers were gaining, when
they leaped out of the buggy and made
for a corn field. Hundreds of people
surrounded the field and after 'several
desperate attempts to get away tbe mis
creants were caught.
Numerous shots were fired, but no one
was injured. Tbe robbers were brought
to town and lodged in jail to await the
action of tbe grand jury. At tbe pre
liminary examination they gave the
names of Frank W. Jackson and Harry
Howard, both hailing from New York.
