COOKS INLET CONDITIONS
Stories of Suffering Denied by a
Man Just Back From
the North.
Late Corners Have Not Prospered
Because They Found the Best
Claims Taken.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept 13.-Oscar Beer
has Just returned from Alaska, and gives
an authentic account of what he has seen,
differing materially from those of others.
when / left Cooks Inlet on August
81, says he, there were still about 500 or
900 miners in that region. Earlier in the
season there were several thousand, but
the stories published about so many being
penned up there, hundreds of miles from
civilization, without prospect of getting
away, and being in danger of starvation
or freezing this winter, are quite untrue.
The thousands have dwindied now proba-
bly, to a few hundred, who can still get
away, but many will winter there in order
to be on hand to work their claims in the
spring. It is quite true that the region
has proved the reverse of profitable to all
but few OF those who have gone there
this year, for nearly all the good claims
had already been Located last year.
1.-The few claims located IN 1895 were
mostly profitable and every body looked
for big developments this year, but while
the whole country Is so full of gold that
a miner can hnd colors anywhere, the
metal is all on the surface, and only a
Dor OF the miner. Some claims have aver
aged as high as $50 to 800 day to the
man, after the preliminary work was done.
''For those who may think of going to
Cooks Inlet in the future, wish to say q
word OF warning about the dangers of
Turnagain Arm. As far as l know, TWEEN
ty-fve to thirty people have been drowned
in those treacherous waters-how many
more no one knows. Wrecked boats and
water soaked provisions cast ashore tell
many sad story. When the tide turns a
huge wave, sometimes ten feet high, comes
sweeping on with the force and thunder
of an avalanche, at the rate of twenty
miles an hour, overwhelming any small
boat. They call this the first bore but
the second and third 'bores' following it are
also dangerous, and no experienced man
ventures forth in a boat until these are

Three Riders Are Thrown and Slightly
Injured in the Final
Dash.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Sept. 13.-The
bicycle meeting arranged by the citizens
OF San Rafael was held here to-day at the
Ross Valley course. The town was filed
with visiting wheelmen all day and every
thing went along smoothly and satisfac-
torily, with the exception of an unfortu-
nate fall of three of the crackajacks in the
final race. Ben Noonan, a Santa Rosa
boy, was going at clipping gait and
when within few hundred yards of the
line his pedal broke, swerving his wheel
into Decker's of the Acme. Both riders
fell, and Henry Noonan, Immediately be-
hind, struck the fallen wheels and vas
thrown into the air, falling on his head
ana shoulders. The remaining riders
swerved past them safely.
The three were carried to the clubrooms
and were found TO have received only a
few bruises. Decker was the most badly
hurt.
Considering the condition of the road
the five-mIle handicap was run in fairly
good time. The riders all came in to-
gether. There were no stragglers. The
thirteen who won place prizes. with their

THE BERiRG SEA PATROL.
Revenue Cutters of the American Fleet in
Northern Waters viii Soon

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Sept. 49,
According to private advices via the
steamer Al-Ki, the Boring Sea feet will
disband at an early Gate and return to
civilization after a FIVE months patrol,
during which number of seizures were
made. The letter is from the Corwin, and
states that that vessel will leave Unalaska
on the Goth inst. Instead of coming to
Port Townsend, as usual, the Corwin will
proceed direct to San Francisco, not even
stopping at Sitka. The reason for this Is
that Captain Hooper, commanding the
squadron, will be aboard, and will pro-
coed to Washington City to make mis- re-
port of the seasons work without any un-
necessary delay. The run down should
consume about ten DAYS, which will bring
the Corwin to San Francisco by the first OF
October.
In view of the fact that Commander
Hooper is aboard the Corwin, that VIII
probably be the last vessel to leave the
sea. The other vessels of the fleet, all OF
which will put in here, may be expected
by the Goth or 18th at the latest.
The Wolcott, alter the fleet IS broken up,
will proceed to Sitka, thence to this port.
1t is detailed for the winter al Whatcom.
The Bear and Grant are both coming to
Port Townsend. The Corwin will go to
San Diego to protect the southern boun-
darv until spring. The Rush is to be sta
toned at San Francisco until the fleet as
sem oles again. The Perry is to winter at
