J E News for the Gold Seekers, Mounted Police Will Not Miners to Enter, Allow Tacoma. Aug. 3. The Fteamer Queen arrived at Tacoma direct from Alaska Monday afternoon with 200 returning excursionists. The Queen brought word that the mounted po lice of the Northwest territory arc meeting all people bound for the Yukon country at the British line be yond the White and Dyca passe?, and compelling all who have not one year's supplies of provisions to return to the cmst. But few of the fortuncseukcrs who had left Tacoma and the sound within the last few weeks fur Dyea and Skaguay had crossed the passes Into the Interior when the Queen left Dyea, on July 28. Two hundred or more miners were encamped at Skag uay then, awaiting an opportunity to liaye their supplies packed over the pass. The lirst pack train over the White pass was expected back at Skaguay when the Queen left there. Rev. Alfred Kummer, of Oakland, Cal., one of the excursionists, went ashore at Skaguay -and reports that he was told by two men there that It would cost 8400 to huve their supplies, weighing 2,000 pounds, carried over the pass. Mr. Kummer and Captain Carrol warned everybody not to at tempt to enter the Yukon before next spring. The captain says that not even those who are cow at Skauguay or Dyca will be able to reach the In terior this winter, principally because the supplies can not be gotton over the passes. The Indians are hard at work packing, and all the available horses are pressed into service. Men can pack, they say, about cventy-five pounds one way, and the round trip Is seventy-two miles.

The letter states that the writer brought down with hfm $27,000 In gold dust and that as quick as cer tain business in Oregon could be set tled lie would return to the diggings. Meantime a brother, left in charge of the mine, works twelve men whoso wages are from twelve to twenty dol lars each, Tho writer has a high opinion of the new diggings, and says that the hard talcs of hardships to bo endured arc Eoroetlmes magnified. The lucky miner landed in the Clon dykc with $100. Heard From His Brother, G. W. Jackson, proprietor of the Wonder saloon, of Portland, has re ceived a letter from his brother W. A.

Their ranks have been terribly thinned by minder, starvat ioii'iind I'auUvswijiiip.- fevers. To make matters worst;, every native who he ped a while was marked for the tomahawk. The remnant of these while pion eers went to Vanapa for a final effort to make their fortunes. Their stores gave out and for months they lived on "damper" and tea. Natives in tho vicinity claimed to be lll-treates. by the uovcrnment in the way of siant stores, and decided to teach the gov ernment a lesson by killing all the whites within reach. The whites were raided at night and put to death with tomahawks, being easy victims. After long suffering they were weak and emaciated, and could not de fend themselves. Many massacres had occurred In tho same place previously,buf, the govern ment had never attempted to punish the murderers, Later news confirms the massacre which occurred 85 miles from Port Moresby. The entire settlement of natives and whites had their heads split open by a large band of savages. The government has sent a largo body of military police to surround the na tives and shoot if necessary. Whole sale arrests will be made. The natives will be brought back manacled In the hold of a steamer chartered for the purpose. Drowned. Coeuh D'Alene, Idaho, Aug. 3. Artificer Geo. F. Zlllhoffer, or Co.
