The Great Clondyke Strike.
What It Cost to Reach the Clondyke
Counrty,
Seattle, July 10. A lady in this
city received the following letter from
Dawson City, under date of June 18,
which contained a glowing account
of the great gold discoveries which
lias yet been in print. The writer is
well known In Seattle:
"The lirst discovery of gold on the
Clondyke was made in tlicmlddlc of
August, 1890, by George Cormack, on
a creek emptying into the Clondyke
from the south, called by the Indians
Bonanza creek. He found $1 to the
pan on a high rim, and after making
the 11 ml known at Forty-Mile, went
buck with two Indians and took out
$1,400 In three weeks with three sluice
boxes. The creek was soon staked
from one end to the other, and all the
small gulches were also staked and
recorded. About September 10, a man
by the name of Whipple prospected a
creek emptying into Bonanza on No.7,
ubove Discovery, and named It Whip
ple creek. lie shortly afterward sold,
out, and the miner renamed It El
dorado. 'Prospects as high as $4 to the pan
were found early in the fall. Many of
the old mlneri from Forty-Mile went
there, and would not stake, saying
the willows did not lean the right
way, and the water did not taste
right, and that it was a moose pas
ture, it being wide and flat. Both
creeks were staked principally by 'cliee
chacoos' (new men in the country),
and as early as they could get pro
visions, about 250 men svent there
and commenced' prospecting by sink
ing holes to the depth of from 0 to 24
feet, doing so by burning down, as the
ground was frozen solid to the bed
rock. COST TO REACH CLONDYKE.
Joseph Laduc, the owner of the
townsite of Dawson City, Alaska, the
nearest town to the Clondyke region,
started last night for Ills home in
Plattsburg, N. Y. Besides owning
the townsite of Dawson, where land
is already selling for $5000 a lot, Mr.
Lad ue brough with him enough gold
dust to keep him In comfort for some
time to come.
Mr. Ladue stated to the Associated
Press that there was no doubt of tho
richness of tho diggings in the Clon
dyke region. He thinks there is gold
ln the ground to keep all the miners
who can work busy for the next
twenty years to get It out. Mr.
Ladue, however, issues a timely warn
ing to the thousauds who are prepar.
ing to rnsh to the gold fields this
year. He said:
'There are at present about 3,500
people In the country, and that num
ber is about all that can be accommo
dated this winter. Provisions are
high, as it costs from JO to 15 cents a
pound to land goods at Dawson City,
and it is impossible to get more pro
vlssions in this year than will supply
the present population. If miners
rnsh up there this summer, unless
they take with them their own sup
plies, they will suffer great hardships.
I advise every one going up to take
supplies sufficient to last at least 18
months. The fare to Dawson City,
from San Franclsco.ls $150, and it will
cost at least $500 more to transport
supplies for one man. The Steamer
Excelsior will leave here for Alaska

ger accommodations arc engaged.
This will be her last Irip this year.
The Excelsior goes' to St. Michael's
at the mouth of the Yukon, and pas
sengers and freight are transferred to
a river steamer and carried 2000 miles
to Dawson City. Overland tho route
Is alxnit 000 miles from Juneau, and
the majority of the miners who are
rushing to tho now Eldorado will go
that way. The cold weather com
mences about the middle of Septem
ber, and lasts till May. The passen
gers on the Excelsior will reack
Dawson about September 1, and will
have to do their prospecting In tho
snow.'
Mr. Ladue advises people to wnlt
until next spring before going up, as
the facilities for carrying them will
be much improved then.
Great Excitement,
Seattle, July 10. One hundred
men took passage on the steamer Al
Ki, most of tlieni starting on what Is
called the overland trip to the Clon
dyke. From Juneau they will go 100
miles further, by water, to Dyea,
thence over the mountain passes,
down Lakes Lindcrman and Bennett
to tho Yukon river and down that
river to the new discoveries.
Among the crowd were many men
well known In Seattle; men who have
been long Identified with Its growth
and development.
At 5 o'clock she threw on her lines
and pulled Into the bay, thousands of
people that lined the water front
sending her Godspeed with cheers aud
shouts.
Every inch of her passenger and
cargo space was taken.
The steamship Portland, whose ar
riviil Satuaday morning, with her
load or treasure caused tremendous
excitement here, is due to sail for St.
Michaels, at tiie mouth of tho Yukon,
Tuesday, biit.lt lallkely that she will
not got a. vuy for a day or f.wo later;
This boat will not carry a pound of
provisions, except for tho Nortli
American Trading & Transporation
Company, which operates it. But
its passenger accomodations are all
engaged. At St. Michaels, tho pas
sengers and freight will be transferred
to .1 Yakon steamer.
Captain Carroll of the excursion
steamer Queeu, which arrived to
night, denies the reports sent out
that there will not be an able-bodied
man left In Juneau on account of the
exodus to the Clondyke. Junca mer
chants are very short of goods hay
ing outfitted prospectors and miners
untlll their stocks have run extre
mely low. It is undeniably true that
many men from Alaska towns have
gone to tho placer diggings Inadequa
tely supplied with food or money, and
that much suffering will result. The
miners have posted notices along the
varions trails and routes to tho gol d
fields that men without provisions
would receive scant welcome.
Port Townsend, July 10. The
Steamers Al-Ki sails for Alaska at
midnight with all the passengers and
freight accommodations filled. She
carries 40 horses and 100 sheep for
Dyea, where they will be landed and
driven across the summit to the
Yukon valley. Stockmen say the
sheep are the finest band ever col
lected in Eastern Washington. Any
kind of fresh meat on the Yukon pells
at 50 cents per pound.
The Al-kl carries 35 first and 05
second-class passengers, nearly nil for
the Clondyke.
Drunken Cowboys.
San Diego, Cal., July 10. William
Bice, a miner, while on a drunken
spree at Hot Springs, Warner's ranch,
became involved in an altercation
with a number of other miners and
cowboys who were also Intoxicated.
A general fight ensued, the result of
which was that Bice was beaten Into
insensibility.
With a view to restoring him to
consciousness, cowboys poured whisky
over him and set fire to tho liquor.

The ambassadors arrlyed at 0 o'clock

The ambassadors unanimously and
positively declined to discuss the

Riots Feared.
New Yoihc, July 19. A dispatch to
tho Herald from Valparaiso says there
Is general fear there that repetition
of the bloody riots of 1890, when scores
of rioters were shot down and killed
by the police and militia, isathand.
The situation is critical. It was
brought about by the action of the
mayor of Valparaiso In ordering 1000
woikshops closed, thereby throwing
thousands of men out of employment.
Unless something Is done Immediately
to provide for the Idle thousands,
serious trouble will result.
The authorities only quelled the
1 lots of 189'J after a great loss of life.
The rioters looted stores and tho re
sult was tho police and militia wore
ordered to put an end to the troubles.
Scures of Idle men were shot and cut
down in the streets.

New Vomc, July 10. A cable to
the Herald from Paris says Prince
Henry, of Orleans has. received, or will
shortly receive a challenge to light a
duel from LlcutcnnntPinl, the brother
of the famous Italian master. The
genesis of the trouble Is explained In
the Figaro as follows.
Prince Henry's letter elicited pro
tests from the Italian newspapers
which took issue witli the prlnco on
his criticism of the conduct of tho
Italian Olllccrs in Abyssinia. Cer
tain Italian papers with which, says
the Figaro, neither we nor Prlnco
Hhnry need trouble ourselves, replied
to Prince Henry's letter by epithets
borrowed Bfrom a vocabulary that Is
not honored among journals of any
self-respect.

Benton County Warrants.
Corvallis, July 10. A curious
discovery has been made lu the
county treasurer's olllce. For years
there has been on hand a certain fund
applicable to the payment of war
rants that had been called in, but
which had apparently never been pre
sented for redemption. This fund
had reachcd.up to a week ngo.tho sum
of $2,500. It began to accumulate
under a call made ln May. 1888, when
$325 worth of warrants in the call
wcro not presented, $32.'; In cash re
maining In the treasurer's hands as a
starter for tho $2,500 of the same sort
since accumulated. Tho Efalluro of
tho warrants to bo presented has of
ten been a subject of comment. It was
all explained a few days ago, when a
comparison of tho redeemed warrants
lu tho clerk's ortlco with tho treasur
er's books showed that all the missing
warrants had been long ago redeemed,
and that the falluro to check them as
so redeemed on tho treasurer's books
account for tho accumulation of
caslj.
