Nn berson shou'd go there with less than 4i to 51 pounds of provisions for each day ho expects to remain In the coun try. The actual food supply for each person should amount to fully 1001 pounds.

"The wildest dreams of gold finds have begun, as continued search will prove, but It Is well to think of the Uarkness ahead of CO per cent of those who go this fall. My advice Is to wait until March, 1808, and more will be accomplished with half the troublo and a minimum of expense. Such unheard-of schemes were Sever brought to light as arc now Bauntcd before the public. The idea Kf u floating hotel to winter in tlio vicinity of the Yokon's mouth or at St. Micheals could not possibly ema nate from the brain of other than a Ebwn-lot boomer from the prairies of Kansas, who never read of sea ice, or felt the winter storms at ffiSt. Michaels. Some one should strive gtolbulld a wagon road over Dyea pass ItSthe lakes. The Dominion govern Rnont will gladly give consent for such IsuFentcrprise. Our own government should be asked to appropriate, a suf ficient sum for au immediate pnillm- Qnary survey, and when the money Is fready the work can progress through Kmt the winter and be finished by the end of April, 1808. MUCH GOLD TO COME. The rumor that the next sUamer from St. Michaels will bring an enor Kuous amount of gold has been given lyet more color by a private letter from aMr. Nuwhall, in San Francisco, to a Ifriehd in Portland. The letter states Sat one of the returning miners on .fee last steamer, who started later than the othe'rs from the diggings, as serts his knowledge of some $3,000,000 jafjust and nuggets, which will fol- 'uywby the next boat. WILL MAKE LAWS TO FIT. Yancouvek, B. C, July 29. Hon. Clifford Slfton, Dominion minister offfrio Interior, wired here that It Is DotTthe intention of the Dominion government to make the mining laws British Columbia applicable to the Yukon. Special regulations applying that district, which have been carefully revised by Surveyor Ogilvie, be administered by the staff on ground. Further amendments the regulation will be made, and be completed as soon as possible. Miners will haye to deal with the do- ulon officials stationed on the Yu- ' WHAT A "aitOBSTAKE" IS. Sfsurprislngly large number of mi ners have been "grubstaked" within the last week by victims of the Clon- MjEfffi Ltdyke fever, who are eager to avail themselves of the new opportunity to (acquire wealth, but who do not like stofendure the hardships incident to a winter on the Yukon. As a rule Iteso "grubstake" contracts are made ESlthe quiet, there being evidently an reason why neither staker nor OCTstaked want their plans made jhmjIIc. The aggfeements are usually Tirawn up In legal fprm, and are as exact apd Ironclad as a government Ewtract. A prominent' attorney, Brno has drawn up a number of them ffhee the craze began, fur nished a 'reporter with the Mowing statement concerning them: t ''The contracts executed when par- Mjes are 'grubstaking' men for the reiondyke, In a general way provide that the first parties furnish a stated turn of ruoneji to bo used in the pur chase of supplies, tools, etc., and In lie payment of the expenses of tfans- irtatlon to the mlncr;that the latter irnlsh his whole time, talents and ibor to the Joint venture, and that ie first parties and the miner share i agreed proportions the profit of the iterprlse, which, It Is stipulated, ill Include any mining claims, Io- ted, discovered, purchased or ob- lainedi tiny gold diut of gold mined, and any otlicr thing of value.

Much Is left to the honor and Integrity of the miner. If more than one person advanced funds, they share the profits according to the sums." A TELEGRAPH LINE. San Francisco, July 29. The Clon dyke Is promised close communication with the rest of the world In a short time. At least a telegraph company has been Incorporated which will get to work Immediately, its promoters say, stringing the wires. Articles of Incorporation of the Alaska Telegraph & Telephone Company have been liled with the county clerk of San Fran elscn. The dlrectois of the new com pany are C. W. Wright, Theodore Rnlchort. D. E. Bohannon, J. W Wright and J. Fassett. The capital stock of the organization is $250,000 of which $100,000 has been subscribed by the directors. DThe proposition is to construct a telegraph lino which will connect Dyea with Juneau, and Dawson with Circle City. The estimated length of the proposed line is 1000 miles. The promoters of the enterprise ex pect to get to work laying the wires in three weeks, and have them laid six weeks later. The company does not Intend to have any telegraphic communication south of Juneau un less some of the larger companies con struct a line north from Puget Sound. WARNED. London, July 29. The colonial olllce has warned intending gold seek ers that It will be useless to start for the Clondyko beforo spring, as the journey Is possible only In the sum mer time. DECLINE. San Francisco, July 29. Local capitalists who are endeavoring to se cure options on mining claims in the Clondyke country arc not meeting with much success among the miners now here. The men seem to realize they haye a good thing In what they have and are not disposed to submit to modern forms of conveyance, eyen though not forced to sell until the value of the property is investigated A SHREWD SPECULATOR. San Francisco, July 29.-By far the greatest exodus of gold seekers bound for the Alaskan fields, that has yet occurred from this city, was wit nessed when the steamer Excelsior, chartered by the Alaska Commercial Co., left. This Is. the last of the company's fleet which will connect with the Yukon river steamers this season. One passenger who paid $150 for a ticket sold it for $1,500.

Randall, of the Eighth Infantry, re- ceiveda telegram from "Washington stating that the expedition to Alaska has been temorarlly abandoned. It has been discovered that many sup plies necessary for such an undertak ing as the one proposed are not on hand and much time ana expense, would be necessitated to send the sol diers to a country wuero the preserva- tlon oflife depends on perfect equip-1 ment. i The part ol Alaska mapped out to be visited is said to be rapidly freez-' liiff up, and after serious considera tion of all these facts the trip has beep prppounced Injudicious a.t this tltno and postponed probably until spriut;.
