FOUR HUNDRED IMPRISONED
Amid the Snow In a Wilderness
In Alaska.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, September 9.-In a
few weeks possibly the country may hear
accounts of terrible privation and perhaps
death among party of 400 miners. They
are locked up in the black wilderness Of
Alaska and believed to be without food.
Yesterday woman received from her son a
letter, written nearly year ago. 1t was
brief, and ran: "Tm alive, but am buried
under snow and ice far up OH the Yukon
river" The party originally left Juneau
with the purpose of going beyond that post.
The highest point Of navigation is Juneau,
which is trading point at which regular
San Francisco packets touch. After cross
ing ranges of mountains and many rapids,
the valley Of the Yukon is reached. Within
this valley are the of 400 men, who have

known that several miners have started with
sledges and dogs across the northern country
with just sufficient provisions to last them
through September, hoping to make Point
barrow. There Is the graVest uouDt In this
city as to how many of the miners took the
northward course with hope Of meeting a
steamer in time to save themselves. There
is no official information to be had in this
city regarding the movements OF the revenue
cutters. but Deputy Surveyor Fogarty says
the Rush left in the middle OF last May for
Point Barrow, in order to restore this sta
tion, which had been swept away by the
winds. The steamer, however, would leave
there before the miners could possibly ar
rive. Levi Sloss of the Alaska Commercial
Company, says the steamer st. Paul left this
city Thursday last for ST. Michael. with no
other purpose in view than to rescue the
miners, who had been led to believe that
their only success rested in, descending the
Yuken. The men may have started for
Point Barrow, others may have yedt ioated down
the Yukon and on the way become frozen,
or they may have taken the trip over the
back route, by way of Juneau. Mr.. .Sloss

OLD JACK PhIPPs IS DEAD.
And His Faithful Little Ferrets Could
Not Live Without Him.

Jack Phipps, the modern Pied Piper Of
Hamelin, and his two little ferrets are dead.
They had caught and killed so many rats in
their time, had rid so many houses Of the
pesky little rodents, that they got to be re-
garded as public benefactors, and their death
is mourned by whole community. Jack
his real name was William, but people
seemed to like "Jack" better--came to this
country from England with only hope in his
breast, los. in his pocket, and the two little
faithful ferrets. He had come here to make
his fortune, and with the ferret cage in his
hand he wandered about until he heard that
DIR. Howard, the owner Of hotel in Pitts
burg, wanted somebody, or something, to rid
his house of rats, and thither Jack trudged
with his cage.
His offer was accepted and he and his little
friends started at once to their work. Their
snccess was complete. In three days 153 of
the pests had come to grief and the rest Of
them took to their heels, much to the disgust
of the ferrets. None Of them ever came back.
This job set Jack upon his financial feet.

DIR. Howard, he found plenty OF his peculiar
work to do. He and his ferrets were In
