Letters from all sections of the country are being re ceived here asking for Information rela tive to routes and rates to th Kiondyke gold fields. In some instance the re cipients of letter are requested lo re turn the desired Information by tele graph. It Is a conservative estimate to suy that In thirty days Uu re will lie l.Vl men at the head of Dyea route la tlie gold fields. All on an average will have 100 pound to the man, and It make. ?.V ton, which cannot be hauled on sleds over the divide, but which must be packed by experienced Indians a distance of fourteen miles over the sum mit to the lake. This packing is done by from 30 to 75 Chl'cat Indians. Thre days are consumed In the "ound trip. ? pounds being an average Inillen'j haul. H la easy to figure out the time which will be required to land all the freight on tbe lakes, from whence lt can Ih- taken In canoes If the river is open. or on sled If froien, to the sold fields. As lt will be lmKssible for all to get their siiplies over the summit thla Mil, t.V ensuing winter Is apt to see a city of tents looAted at the head of Ives' Inlet. , - GLOWINO ACCOUNTS DENIED. Toledo, O.. July 21.-Mr. and Mrs Clius Spcllmnn. of Defiance, have Just received letter from thler son Fred, who haa been In Alaska since last March, that discredits the golden stories that have been exciting the people Of the West for several weeks. Mr. Spellman went to Alaska from Montana last March, under contract as a proiector. A number of men were In tho party, and they will return to Montana this month Spellman aays there Is absolutely no truth in the fabulous stories that come from Alaska and that the gold fields there ore prac tically barren. He says Ihvre Is great scarcity of fowl In thit settlor. The suffering there and the enDnnous amount t money necessary to j paid to se cure the barest necssarls of life, he says, should deter any thinking rr.iii from giv ing the sublect of a trip to that cduh- try a second thought. ,) ANOTHER EXPEDITION.

It Is the purnjse to hold the vessel at the nearest point to the goid fields for headquarters for the members of the company and employes. An agree ment was drawn up and twelve of these pre-nt signed it, each agreeing to the payment of JIOOO. Others are being so licited." YUKON TRADING COMPANY.

Which Will Be Needed In the Kiondyke. An Important question to those con templating a trip to the Yukon Is the one of necessary supplies. Astorlans daily ask the question. Here Is a list compiled by the Post-Intelllgencer, fur nished by a miner Just returned from the Kiondyke: PROVISIONS. Bacon, SX) pounds. Flour. S00 pounds. Assorted dried fruits, 130 pounds. Corn meal, 200 pounds. Rice, parched, 75 pounds. Coffee, parched. 75 pounds. Tea, 40 pounds. Sugar, 75 pounds. Beans, luOlpounds. Condensed milk, 1 case. Assortment of evalor.vted vegetables and meats. CLOTHING. Two suits of corduroy. Three pairs rubber boots. Three pairs heavy shoes. Two doxen heavy woolen socks. One-half dozen woolen mitts. Three pairs woolen gloves. Three suits heavy underwear. Two 8'ilts macklnaw. Two hats. Four heavy woolen shirts. One heavy coat Thre? pairs of heavy woolen blankets The outfit will cost about tVA Trans portation, via steamer, to Kiondyke J1X or via Juneau and Dyea S10. It by ihe latter route, the carriage from salt water to Lake Underman. a distance of 31 miles, say one and one-half Ions, nt IS cents per pound, H50. Boat at Lake Lln dcrman, $t. Miscellaneous, J25. Total, $750. ' Conservatively, that Is a fair estimate of Ihe requirements of a man who ex- ; poets tot remain In the Takon eighteen i months. There arj several In-identu' I expenses which might be curtailed to a ': slig-ht amount. In making purchases, it Is well to ob- : serve the suggestion tnat ttie very Des' articles that can be purchased are nonf too good and will more than repay the purchaser In the long run.

Pittsburg, July ?,. -Trouble, and much of It. e.m lo be In stor at the AlliJn mine .three miles west of Canonsburg. The men want to go to work, but are afraid. They fear an invasion of the, strikers, and do not waijt to be ma.Ie targets for fh moh that is liable at any moment to lose control of itself. The strikers were to begin their mnr..fi tonight, but a telegram from ErMgevllle announces that owing to the heavy rains of last evening It wag decided to post pone the trip until tomorrow.

During the afternoon a com- j mlttee from the Eneterprise paid them a j visit. The committee wanted to find I out what the situation wus. They decided I "v. r'.'rJii .ui I uuiihuikb. At a committee meeting at thj minors' headquarters In this city today the ques tion was discussed as lo how it wiuil be possible to march a body of men to stop the miners of the New York and Cleveland Coal Company from working. It was the general opinion that the mine, of this company were impregnable to at tack because of their geographical posi tion. , The expected meeting of the hoard of nrbltration did not tnke place tonight, he absent members not nachlng the city. As soon as they arrive arrange ments will be made for a general meet ing of operators. The situation among the strikers In this district Is practically unchanged. The suspension Is compu te, with the ex ception of the De Armlli mine, and though considerable destitution and suf fering Is reported among the striker, and their families, the determination to fight it out is apparently as strong n. on the first day of the strike. , COAL MOVED.
