New York. August 20. The World

Portu B. Wear, a western capitalist,
who is largely lot e rested in many enter
prises with John Cudahy of Chicago, is
In the city. He Is one of the originators
of the IS.OCO.ftjO company formed by Cud
ahy and others to develop, the Klondike
territory, Talk-ng to a, reporter he said:
"I have been In Alaska. There is pi en.
ty of gold there. It carmot be mine! in
50 years. Owing to the limited facilities
for transportation it Is impossible that
more than WOO of the large army that bas
started for the anw fields can reach there
this year. That is a very liberal estimate.
Tbe divide will be closed in a few weeks
and those who do not succeed In crossing
before that tine will have to turn back
to the settlements or run the risk of
death from cold or starvation. Our com
pany owns a fleet of 10 ships' and we have
begun to construct Ave steamboats at
Port Oct There. We also propose to
erect buildings in the mining region. To
do this we must have wood and labor.
Heretofore the timber has been cut by
Indian, but nearly all of them have
gone to the mines, leavjig the wood
camps almost deserted.
"We shall send out two expeditions
from Seattle Sept. 10th and 15th. We
have already hired 300 men who propose
to prospect for gold. We want no others.
Prospectors must have endurance and
that Is the kind nf men we wanL We
con find remunerative employment for
many more. It is our intention to sail
for Port Get There on St. Michaels Is
land, where all who want ?t will be fed
and lodged and paid li a cord for cutting
wood. An average man can cut a cord
and a half a day. We must have wood
for our boats and for the buildings we
propose to erect. The doors, windows
and other ports as far as possible will
be made at Port Got There.
"At the proper time our ship will leave
Port Oct There and go to the mouth of
the Yukon via the Aleutian islands. The
gold fields will be reached by June 13th
as early a date. If not earlier, than by
any Oiher route for those who did not
start some weeks ago. Then, too, the
jourwey wil be attended wfch loss dan
ger." THE EUGENE.
The Eugene arrived down yes:erday.
Captain C. H. Lewis In charge, with a
crew of 14 men. The boat Is In ballast
and has fuel enough for th? voyage
to the Sound, where she will be towed
by the steamer Escort, Captain Howes
and Chief Engineer Russell. From the
Sound she will proceed direct to St. Mi
chaels in tow of the steamer Bristol,
and will proceed up river with her pas
sengers and freight, which have been
shipped overland via the Sound and the
Brlstcl. All on board the Euge-ae are
Americans and expect to make a strike
in Alaska,
NO PARTIALITY.
Ottawa. August 20. The deputy min

&b well as Americans will have to pay
